# Tarantool NginX upstream module
---------------------------------
Key features:
* Both nginx and Tarantool features accessible over HTTP(S).
* Tarantool methods callable via JSON-RPC or REST.
* Load balancing with elastic configuration.
* Backup and fault tolerance.
* Low overhead.
See more about:
* [Tarantool](http://tarantool.org)
* [nginx upstream](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#upstream)
# Limitations
-------------
1. WebSockets are not supported until Tarantool supports out-of-band replies.
2. This module does not support Tarantool 1.6.x starting with 2.4.0.
Since then it uses Tarantool 1.7 protocol features.

## Test run and notes for contributors
This paragraph is actual only if you choose [build from source](#build-from-source)
installation. So that, nginx git repository should be placed into
`nginx` directory within the module repository. But now, you should use
`make configure-for-testing`. It points the path to the necessary for testing
configs, so it is needed to run tests.
To run all tests with different nginx versions use `./test/auto.sh`. It
will checkout several nginx versions, rebuild nginx with the module and
run tests on each of those nginx versions.
For selective running, start:
1) nginx in other terminal with `./nginx/objs/nginx -c conf/nginx.conf`,
2) Tarantool in another terminal with `tarantool test/test.lua`,
3) run separate test file, e.g. `./test/basic_features.py`.
If you want to add new test, see examples: `*_features.py` files.
Don't forget to include it to `test/run_all.sh`.
You can set `VERBOSE` environment variable to `True` to enable
debug info.

## REST
-------
**Note:** since v0.2.0
With this module, you can call Tarantool stored procedures via HTTP
REST methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
Example:
```nginx
upstream backend {
# Tarantool hosts
server 127.0.0.1:9999;
}
server {
# HTTP [GET | POST | PUT | PATCH | DELETE] /tnt_rest?q=1&q=2&q=3
location /tnt_rest {
# REST mode on
tnt_http_rest_methods get post put patch delete; # or all
# Pass http headers and uri
tnt_pass_http_request on;
# Module on
tnt_pass backend;
}
}
```
```lua
-- Tarantool procedure
function tnt_rest(req)
req.headers -- http headers
req.uri -- uri
return { 'ok' }
end
```
```bash
$> wget NGX_HOST/tnt_rest?arg1=1&argN=N
```
[Back to contents](#contents)
## JSON
-------
**Note:** since v0.1.4
The module expects JSON posted with HTTP POST, PUT (since v0.2.0),
or PATCH (since v2.3.8) and carried in request body.
Server HTTP statuses:
* **OK** - response body contains a result or an error;
the error may appear only if something wrong happened within Tarantool,
for instance: 'method not found'.
* **INTERNAL SERVER ERROR** - may appear in many cases,
most of them being 'out of memory' error.
* **NOT ALLOWED** - in response to anything but a POST request.
* **BAD REQUEST** - JSON parse error, empty request body, etc.
* **BAD GATEWAY** - lost connection to Tarantool server(s).
Since both (i.e. json -> tp and tp -> json) parsers work
asynchronously, this error may appear if 'params' or 'method'
does not exists in the structure of the incoming JSON, please
see the protocol description for more details.
**Note:** this behavior will change in the future.
### Input JSON form
```
[ { "method": STR, "params":[arg0 ... argN], "id": UINT }, ...N ]
```
* **method** - a string containing the name of the Tarantool method to be
invoked (i.e. Tarantool "call")
* **params** - a structured array. Each element is an argument of the Tarantool
"call".
* **id** - an identifier established by the Client. MUST contain an unsigned
number not greater than unsigned int. May be 0.
These all are required fields.
### Output JSON form
```
[ { "result": JSON_RESULT_OBJECT, "id":UINT, "error": { "message": STR, "code": INT } }, ...N ]
```
* **result** - Tarantool execution result (a json object/array, etc).
Version 2.4.0+ outputs a raw result, i.e. ``JSON_RESULT_OBJECT``.
May be null or undefined.
* **id** - DEPRECATED in 2.4.0+ - request id.
May be null or undefined.
* **error** - a structured object which contains an internal error message.
This field exists only if an internal error occurred, for instance:
"too large request", "input json parse error", etc.
If this field exists, the input message was _probably_ not passed to
the Tarantool backend.
See "message"/"code" fields for details.
### Example
For instance, Tarantool has a stored procedure `echo`:
```Lua
function echo(a, b, c, d)
return a, b, c, d
end
```
Syntax:
```
--> data sent to Server
<-- data sent to Client
```
rpc call 1:
```
--> { "method": "echo", "params": [42, 23], "id": 1 }
<-- { "id": 1, "result": [42, 23]
```
rpc call 2:
```
--> { "method": "echo", "params": [ [ {"hello": "world"} ], "!" ], "id": 2 }
<-- { "id": 2, "result": [ {"hello": "world"} ], "!" ]}
```
rpc call of a non-existent method:
```
--> { "method": "echo_2", "id": 1 }
<-- { "error": {"code": -32601, "message": "Method not found"}, "id": 1 }
```
rpc call with invalid JSON:
```
--> { "method": "echo", "params": [1, 2, 3, __wrong__ ] }
<-- { "error": { "code": -32700, "message": "Parse error" } }
```
rpc call Batch:
```
--> [
{ "method": "echo", "params": [42, 23], "id": 1 },
{ "method": "echo", "params": [ [ {"hello": "world"} ], "!" ], "id": 2 }
]
<-- [
{ "id": 1, "result": [42, 23]},
{ "id": 2, "result" : [{"hello": "world"} ], "!" ]},
]
```
rpc call Batch of a non-existent method:
```
--> [
{ "method": "echo_2", "params": [42, 23], "id": 1 },
{ "method": "echo", "params": [ [ {"hello": "world"} ], "!" ], "id": 2 }
]
<-- [
{ "error": {"code": -32601, "message": "Method not found"}, "id": 1 },
{"id": 2, "result": [ {"hello": "world"} ], "!" ]}
]
```
rpc call Batch with invalid JSON:
```
--> [
{ "method": "echo", "params": [42, 23, __wrong__], "id": 1 },
{ "method": "echo", "params": [ [ {"hello": "world"} ], "!" ], "id": 2 }
]
<-- { "error": { "code": -32700, "message": "Parse error" } }
```

## HTTP headers and status
--------------------------
Sometimes you have to set status or headers which came from Tarantool.
For this purpose, you have to use something like
[ngx_lua](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module)
or [ngx_perl](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_perl_module.html), etc.
With the methods, you can also transform the result from `Tarantool` into
something else.
Here is an example with `ngx_lua`:
```Lua
-- Tarantool, stored procedure
function foo(req, ...)
local status = 200
local headers = {
["X-Tarantool"] = "FROM_TNT",
}
local body = 'It works!'
return status, headers, body
end
```
```nginx
# Nginx, configuration
# If you're experience an problem with lua-resty-core like
# https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/issues/1509
# it can be disabled by the following directive.
#
# lua_load_resty_core off;
# If you're not using lua-resty-core you may need to manually specify a path
# to cjson module. See the documentation:
# https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_package_cpath
#
# lua_package_cpath "/path/in/lua/cpath/format/?.so";

## Directives
-------------
tnt_pass
--------
**syntax:** *tnt_pass UPSTREAM*
**default:** *no*
**context:** *location*
Specify the Tarantool server backend.
```nginx
upstream tnt_upstream {
127.0.0.1:9999
};
location = /tnt {
tnt_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;
}
location = /tnt_next_location {
tnt_pass tnt_upstream;
}
```
[Back to contents](#contents)
tnt_http_methods
----------------
**syntax:** *tnt_http_methods post, put, patch, delete, all*
**default:** *post, delete*
**context:** *location*
Allow to accept one or many http methods.
If a method is allowed, the module expects [JSON](#json) carried in the request
body.
If `tnt_method` is not set, then the name of the Tarantool stored procedure is
the protocol [JSON](#json).
Example:
```nginx
location tnt {
tnt_http_methods delete;
tnt_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;
}
```
```bash
# Call tarantool_stored_procedure_name()
$> wget --method=delete --body-data='{"method":"lua_function", "params": [], "id": 0}' NGINX_HOST/tnt
```
[Back to contents](#contents)
tnt_http_rest_methods
---------------------
**syntax:** *tnt_http_rest_methods get, post, put, patch, delete, all*
**default:** *no*
**context:** *location*
**NOTICE:**
This does not restrict anything. The option just says to NGINX:
use this methods for allowing REST requests.
If you have a wish to set some methods as not allowed methods, then
please use "if" inside locations.
For example:
```nginx
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|POST|HEAD)$) {
return 405 "Please use HEAD, PATCH and so on";
}
```
Allow to accept one or more REST methods.
If `tnt_method` is not set, then the name of the Tarantool stored procedure is
the first part of the URL path.
Example:
```nginx
location tnt {
tnt_http_rest_methods get;
tnt_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;
}
```
```bash
# Call tarantool_stored_procedure_name()
$> wget NGINX_HOST/tarantool_stored_procedure_name/some/mega/path?q=1
```
[Back to contents](#contents)
tnt_pass_http_request
---------------------
**syntax:** *tnt_pass_http_request [on|off|parse_args|unescape|pass_body|pass_headers_out|parse_urlencoded|pass_subrequest_uri]*
**default:** *off*
**context:** *location, location if*
Allow to pass HTTP headers and queries to Tarantool stored procedures.
Examples #1:
```nginx
location tnt {
# Also, tnt_pass_http_request can be used together with JSON communication
tnt_http_rest_methods get;
# [on|of]
tnt_pass_http_request on;
tnt_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;
}
```
```lua

req.query -- string
return { 'OK' }
end
-- With parse_args
function tarantool_stored_procedure_name_1(req, ...)
req.headers -- lua table
req.query -- string
req.args -- query args as lua table
return { 'OK' }
end
-- With pass_body
function tarantool_stored_procedure_name_2(req, ...)
req.body -- request body, type string
end
```
Examples #2 (pass_headers_out):
```nginx
location @tnt {
tnt_http_rest_methods get;
tnt_pass_http_request on pass_headers_out;
tnt_method tarantool_stored_procedure_name;
tnt_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;
}
location / {
add_header "X-Req-time" "$request_time";

```lua
function tarantool_stored_procedure_name(req, ...)
req.headers -- a lua table
req.query -- a string
req.args.q -- 1
req.args_urlencoded.p -- 2
return true
end
```
```bash

Format
------
**syntax:** *tnt_{OPT} [ARGS] [FMT]*
Tarantool stores data in [tuples](https://tarantool.org/en/doc/1.7/book/box/data_model.html#tuple).
A tuple is a list of elements. Each element is a value or an object,
and each element should have a strong type.
The tuple format is called [MsgPack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MessagePack),
it's like JSON in a binary format.
The main goal of Format (see [FMT] above) is to enable conversion between
a query string and MsgPack without losing type information or value.
The syntax is: `{QUERY_ARG_NAME}=%{FMT_TYPE}`
Please look carefully for yours url encoding!
A good example is (also see examples [tnt_update](#tnt_update) and [tnt_upsert](#tnt_upsert)):
```
HTTP GET ... /url?space_id=512&value=some+string
it could be matched by using the following format 'space_id=%%space_id,value=%s'
```
Also this works with HTTP forms, i.e. HTTP POST, HTTP PUT and so on.
Here is a full list of {FMT_TYPE} types:
```
TUPLES
%n - int64
%f - float
%d - double
%s - string
%b - boolean
Special types
%%space_id - space_id
%%idx_id - index_id
%%off - [select](#tnt_select) offset
%%lim - [select](#tnt_select) limit
%%it - [select](#tnt_select) iterator type, allowed values are:
eq,req,all,lt,le,ge,gt,all_set,any_set,
all_non_set,overlaps,neighbor
KEYS (for [tnt_update](#tnt_update))
%kn - int64
%kf - float
%kd - double
%ks - string
%kb - boolean
Operations (for [tnt_upsert](#tnt_upsert))
%on - int64
%of - float
%od - double
%os - string
%ob - boolean
```

This directive allows executing an insert query with Tarantool.
* The first argument is a space id.
* The second argument is a [format](#format) string.
Returns HTTP code 4XX if client's request doesn't well formatted. It means, that
this error raised if some of values missed or has wrong type.
Returns HTTP code 5XX if upstream is dead (no ping).
Also it can return an HTTP code 200 with an error formatted in JSON.
It happens when Tarantool can't issue a query.
Here is a description:
```
{"error": { "message": STR, "code": INT } }
```
* **error** - a structured object which contains an internal error message.
This field exists only if an internal error occurred, for instance:
"too large request", "input json parse error", etc.
If this field exists, the input message was _probably_ not passed to
the Tarantool backend.
