README
## Overview
Comdb2 is a clustered RDBMS built on Optimistic Concurrency Control techniques.
It provides multiple isolation levels, including Snapshot and Serializable Isolation.
Read/Write transactions run on any node, with the client library transparently negotiating connections to lowest cost (latency) node which is available.
The client library provides transparent reconnect.
Work on Comdb2 was started at Bloomberg LP in 2004 and it has been under heavy development since.
More information about the architecture of the project can be found in our [VLDB 2016 paper](http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p1377-scotti.pdf) and for more information on usage please look in the [Docs](https://bloomberg.github.io/comdb2/overview_home.html).
## Documentation
[Comdb2 documentation](http://bloomberg.github.io/comdb2) is included in the `docs` directory.
It can be hosted locally with jekyll by running `jekyll serve` from the `docs` directory.
## Contributing
Please refer to our [contribution guide](https://bloomberg.github.io/comdb2/contrib.html) for instructions.
We welcome code and idea contributions.
## Quick Start
On every machine in the cluster:
1. Make sure all machines in the cluster can talk to each other via ssh.
Copy keys around if needed.
2. Install prerequisites:
**Debian/Ubuntu**
```
sudo apt-get install -y \
bison \
build-essential \
cmake \
flex \
libevent-dev \
liblz4-dev \
libprotobuf-c-dev \
libreadline-dev \
libsqlite3-dev \
libssl-dev \
libunwind-dev \
ncurses-dev \
protobuf-c-compiler \
tcl \
uuid-dev \
zlib1g-dev
```
**CentOS 7/8**
On CentOS 8, enable the PowerTools repository first:
```
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
```
```
yum install -y \
byacc \
cmake \
epel-release \
flex \
gawk \
gcc \
gcc-c++ \
libevent-devel \
libunwind \
libunwind-devel \
libuuid \
libuuid-devel \
lz4 \
lz4-devel \
make \
openssl \
openssl-devel \
openssl-libs \
protobuf-c \
protobuf-c-devel \
readline-devel \
rpm-build \
sqlite \
sqlite-devel \
tcl \
which \
zlib \
zlib-devel
```
**macOS High Sierra (experimental)**
Install Xcode and Homebrew. Then install required libraries:
```
brew install cmake lz4 openssl protobuf-c readline libevent
```
To run tests, install following:
```
brew install coreutils bash gawk jq
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
```
It is recommended to increase the open file limits, at least in the sessions which start pmux and server.
3. Build and Install Comdb2:
```
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && sudo make install
```
4. Add */opt/bb/bin* to your PATH
```
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bb/bin
```
5. Start pmux:
```
pmux -n
```
6. _(optional)_ Comdb2 nodes identify each other by their hostnames. If the hostname
of each node isn't resolvable from other nodes, we should tell Comdb2 the full
domain name to use for the current node. Most setups won't have this issue.
Tell comdb2 our FQDN.
```bash
vi /opt/bb/etc/cdb2/config/comdb2.d/hostname.lrl
add current machine's name, e.g.
hostname machine-1.comdb2.example.com
```
7. On one machine (say machine-1), create a database - this example creates a database
called _testdb_ stored in _~/db_.
```
comdb2 --create --dir ~/db testdb
```
Note: the `--dir PATH` parameter is optional, and if it is omitted comdb2 uses a default root of */opt/bb/var/cdb2/* for creating a database directory to contain the database files, which is named as per the database name parameter; hence in this case */opt/bb/var/cdb2/testdb*.
The default root will have to be created explicitly with the desired permissions before invoking `comdb2 --create` for a database.
In this quick start, we use the home directory to avoid obfuscating the key steps of the process.
8. Configure the nodes in the cluster:
```
vi ~/db/testdb.lrl
add
cluster nodes machine-1.comdb2.example.com machine-2.comdb2.example.com
```
9. On other nodes, copy the database over:
```
copycomdb2 mptest-1.comdb2.example.com:${HOME}/db/testdb.lrl
```
0. On all nodes, start the database.
```
comdb2 --lrl ~/db/testdb.lrl testdb
```
All nodes will say 'I AM READY.' when ready.
Note: the log dir comdb2 uses by default is */opt/bb/var/log/cdb2/*
If this directory does not have permissions allowing the user to create file, there will be diagnostics output such as:
> [ERROR] error opening '/opt/bb/var/log/cdb2/testdb.longreqs' for logging: 13 Permission denied
This condition will not impact operation of the database for the purposes of this quick start.
1. On any node, start using the database. You don't have any tables yet. You can add them with *cdb2sql*
Example -
```sql
cdb2sql testdb local 'CREATE TABLE t1 {
schema {
int a
}
}'
```
Database can be queried/updated with cdb2sql:
```sql
cdb2sql testdb local 'insert into t1(a) values(1)'
(rows inserted=1)
cdb2sql testdb local 'select * from t1'
(a=1)
```
