Reconfigure SingleStore Cluster Database
This guide will show you how to use KubeDB Ops-manager operator to reconfigure a SingleStore Cluster.
Before You Begin
At first, you need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the
kubectlcommand-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.Install
KubeDBProvisioner and Ops-manager operator in your cluster following the steps here.You should be familiar with the following
KubeDBconcepts:
To keep everything isolated, we are going to use a separate namespace called demo throughout this tutorial.
$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created
Now, we are going to deploy a SingleStore Cluster using a supported version by KubeDB operator. Then we are going to apply SingleStoreOpsRequest to reconfigure its configuration.
Create SingleStore License Secret
We need SingleStore License to create SingleStore Database. So, Ensure that you have acquired a license and then simply pass the license by secret.
$ kubectl create secret generic -n demo license-secret \
--from-literal=username=license \
--from-literal=password='your-license-set-here'
secret/license-secret created
Deploy SingleStore
At first, we will create sdb-config.cnf file containing required configuration settings.
$ cat sdb-config.cnf
[server]
max_connections = 250
read_buffer_size = 122880
Here, max_connections is set to 250, whereas the default value is 100000. Likewise, read_buffer_size has the deafult value 131072.
Now, we will create a secret with this configuration file.
$ kubectl create secret generic -n demo sdb-configuration --from-file=./sdb-config.cnf
secret/sdb-configuration created
In this section, we are going to create a SingleStore object specifying spec.topology.aggreagtor.configSecret field to apply this custom configuration. Below is the YAML of the SingleStore CR that we are going to create,
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: Singlestore
metadata:
name: custom-sdb
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "8.7.10"
topology:
aggregator:
replicas: 2

accessModes:

storageClassName: "standard"
accessModes:

resources:

licenseSecret:

storageType: Durable

Let’s create the SingleStore CR we have shown above,
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.11.18/docs/guides/singlestore/reconfigure/reconfigure-steps/yamls/custom-sdb.yaml
singlestore.kubedb.com/custom-sdb created
Now, wait until `custom-sdb` has status `Ready`. i.e,
```bash
$ kubectl get pod -n demo
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
custom-sdb-aggregator-0 2/2 Running 0 94s
custom-sdb-aggregator-1 2/2 Running 0 88s
custom-sdb-leaf-0 2/2 Running 0 91s
custom-sdb-leaf-1 2/2 Running 0 86s
$ kubectl get sdb -n demo
NAME TYPE VERSION STATUS AGE
custom-sdb kubedb.com/v1alpha2 8.7.10 Ready 4m29s
We can see the database is in ready phase so it can accept conncetion.
Now, we will check if the database has started with the custom configuration we have provided.
Read the comment written for the following commands. They contain the instructions and explanations of the commands.
# Connceting to the database
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo custom-sdb-aggregator-0 -- bash
Defaulted container "singlestore" out of: singlestore, singlestore-coordinator, singlestore-init (init)
[memsql@custom-sdb-aggregator-0 /]$ memsql -uroot -p$ROOT_PASSWORD

Bye
As we can see from the configuration of ready singlestore, the value of max_connections has been set to 250 and read_buffer_size has been set to 122880.
Reconfigure using new config secret
Now we will reconfigure this database to set max_connections to 350 and read_buffer_size to 132880.
Now, we will create new file new-sdb-config.cnf containing required configuration settings.
Create SingleStoreOpsRequest
Now, we will use this secret to replace the previous secret using a SingleStoreOpsRequest CR. The SingleStoreOpsRequest yaml is given below,
apiVersion: ops.kubedb.com/v1alpha1
kind: SinglestoreOpsRequest
metadata:
name: sdbops-reconfigure-config
namespace: demo
spec:
type: Reconfigure
databaseRef:
name: custom-sdb
configuration:
aggregator:
applyConfig:
sdb-apply.cnf: |-
max_connections = 550
Here,
spec.databaseRef.namespecifies that we are reconfiguringcustom-sdbdatabase.spec.typespecifies that we are performingReconfigureon our database.spec.configuration.aggregator.applyConfigis a map where key supports 1 values, namelysdb-apply.cnffor aggregator nodes. You can also specifiesspec.configuration.leaf.applyConfigwhich is a map where key supports 1 values, namelysdb-apply.cnffor leaf nodes.
Let’s create the SinglestoreOpsRequest CR we have shown above,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.11.18/docs/guides/singlestore/reconfigure-steps/yamls/reconfigure-using-applyConfig.yaml
singlestoreopsrequest.ops.kubedb.com/sdbops-reconfigure-config created
Verify the new configuration is working
If everything goes well, KubeDB Ops-manager operator will update the configSecret of SingleStore object.
Let’s wait for SinglestoreOpsRequest to be Successful. Run the following command to watch SinglestoreOpsRequest CR,
$ kubectl get singlestoreopsrequest --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE NAME TYPE STATUS AGE
demo sdbops-reconfigure-config Reconfigure Successful 10m
We can see from the above output that the SinglestoreOpsRequest has succeeded. If we describe the SinglestoreOpsRequest we will get an overview of the steps that were followed to reconfigure the database.
$ kubectl describe singlestoreopsrequest -n demo sdbops-reconfigure-config

Now let’s connect to a singlestore instance and run a memsql internal command to check the new configuration we have provided.
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo custom-sdb-aggregator-0 -- bash

Bye
As we can see from the configuration has changed, the value of max_connections has been changed from 250 to 550. So the reconfiguration of the database is successful.
Remove Custom Configuration
We can also remove exisiting custom config using SinglestoreOpsRequest. Provide true to field spec.configuration.aggregator.removeCustomConfig and make an Ops Request to remove existing custom configuration.
Create SingleStoreOpsRequest
Lets create an SinglestoreOpsRequest having spec.configuration.aggregator.removeCustomConfig is equal true,
apiVersion: ops.kubedb.com/v1alpha1
kind: SinglestoreOpsRequest
metadata:
name: sdbops-reconfigure-remove
namespace: demo
spec:
type: Reconfigure
databaseRef:
name: custom-sdb
configuration:

removeCustomConfig: true
Here,
spec.databaseRef.namespecifies that we are reconfiguringcustom-sdbdatabase.spec.typespecifies that we are performingReconfigureon our database.spec.configuration.aggregator.removeCustomConfigis a bool field that should betruewhen you want to remove existing custom configuration.
Let’s create the SingleStoreOpsRequest CR we have shown above,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.11.18/docs/guides/singlestore/reconfigure/yamls/reconfigure-steps/reconfigure-remove.yaml
singlestoreopsrequest.ops.kubedb.com/sdbops-reconfigure-remove created
Verify the new configuration is working
If everything goes well, KubeDB Ops-manager operator will update the configSecret of SingleStore object.
Let’s wait for SingleStoreOpsRequest to be Successful. Run the following command to watch SingleStoreOpsRequest CR,
$ kubectl get singlestoreopsrequest -n demo
NAME TYPE STATUS AGE
sdbops-reconfigure-remove Reconfigure Successful 5m31s
Now let’s connect to a singlestore instance and run a singlestore internal command to check the new configuration we have provided.
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo custom-sdb-aggregator-0 -- bash
Defaulted container "singlestore" out of: singlestore, singlestore-coordinator, singlestore-init (init)
[memsql@custom-sdb-aggregator-0 /]$ memsql -uroot -p$ROOT_PASSWORD

As we can see from the configuration has changed to its default value. So removal of existing custom configuration using SingleStoreOpsRequest is successful.
Cleaning Up
To clean up the Kubernetes resources created by this tutorial, run:
$ kubectl delete singlestore -n demo custom-sdb
$ kubectl delete singlestoreopsrequest -n demo sdbops-reconfigure-config sdbops-reconfigure-remove
$ kubectl delete ns demo
