Reconfigure SingleStore Cluster Database

This guide will show you how to use KubeDB Ops-manager operator to reconfigure a SingleStore Cluster.

Before You Begin

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
      configSecret:
        name: sdb-configuration
      podTemplate:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: singlestore
            resources:
              limits:
                memory: "2Gi"
                cpu: "600m"
              requests:
                memory: "2Gi"
                cpu: "600m"
      storage:
        storageClassName: "standard"
        accessModes:
        - ReadWriteOnce
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 1Gi
    leaf:
      replicas: 2
      configSecret:
        name: sdb-configuration
      podTemplate:
        spec:
          containers:
            - name: singlestore
              resources:
                limits:
                  memory: "2Gi"
                  cpu: "600m"
                requests:
                  memory: "2Gi"
                  cpu: "600m"                      
      storage:
        storageClassName: "standard"
        accessModes:
          - ReadWriteOnce
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 10Gi
  licenseSecret:
    name: license-secret
  storageType: Durable
  deletionPolicy: WipeOut

Let’s create the SingleStore CR we have shown above,

$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.9.30/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)

singlestore> exit
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.name specifies that we are reconfiguring custom-sdb database.
  • spec.type specifies that we are performing Reconfigure on our database.
  • spec.configuration.aggregator.applyConfig is a map where key supports 1 values, namely sdb-apply.cnf for aggregator nodes. You can also specifies spec.configuration.leaf.applyConfig which is a map where key supports 1 values, namely sdb-apply.cnf for leaf nodes.

Let’s create the SinglestoreOpsRequest CR we have shown above,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.9.30/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.

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
Defaulted container "singlestore" out of: singlestore, singlestore-coordinator, singlestore-init (init)
[memsql@custom-sdb-aggregator-0 /]$ memsql -uroot -p$ROOT_PASSWORD

singlestore> exit
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:
    aggregator:  
      removeCustomConfig: true

Here,

  • spec.databaseRef.name specifies that we are reconfiguring custom-sdb database.
  • spec.type specifies that we are performing Reconfigure on our database.
  • spec.configuration.aggregator.removeCustomConfig is a bool field that should be true when 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/v2024.9.30/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
singlestore-client: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

singlestore> exit
Bye

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
