go-mysql-server

go-mysql-server is a SQL engine which parses standard SQL (based on MySQL syntax), resolves and optimizes queries. It provides simple interfaces to allow custom tabular data source implementations.

go-mysql-server also provides a server implementation compatible with the MySQL wire protocol. That means it is compatible with MySQL ODBC, JDBC, or the default MySQL client shell interface.

Scope of this project

These are the goals of go-mysql-server:

Be a generic extensible SQL engine that performs queries on your data sources.
Provide interfaces so you can implement your own custom data sources without providing any (except for the mem data source that is used for testing purposes).
Have a runnable server you can use on your specific implementation.
Parse and optimize queries while still allow specific implementations to add their own analysis steps and optimizations.
Provide some common index driver implementations so the user does not have to bring their own index implementation, and still be able to do so if they need to.

What are not the goals of go-mysql-server:

Be a drop-in MySQL database replacement.
Be an application/server you can use directly.
Provide any kind of backend implementation (other than the mem one used for testing) such as json, csv, yaml, ... That's for clients to implement and use.

What's the use case of go-mysql-server?

Having data in another format that you want as tabular data to query using SQL, such as git. As an example of this, we have gitbase.

SQL syntax

We are continuously adding more functionality to go-mysql-server. We support a subset of what is supported in MySQL, to see what is currently included check the SUPPORTED file.

Third-party clients

We support and actively test against certain third-party clients to ensure compatibility between them and go-mysql-server. You can check out the list of supported third party clients in the SUPPORTED_CLIENTS file along with some examples on how to connect to go-mysql-server using them.

Configuration

The behaviour of certain parts of go-mysql-server can be configured using either environment variables or session variables.

Session variables are set using the following SQL queries:

SET <variable name> = <value>

Name	Type	Description
`INMEMORY_JOINS`	environment	If set it will perform all joins in memory. Default is off.
`inmemory_joins`	session	If set it will perform all joins in memory. Default is off. This has precedence over `INMEMORY_JOINS`.
`MAX_MEMORY`	environment	The maximum number of memory, in megabytes, that can be consumed by go-mysql-server. Any in-memory caches or computations will no longer try to use memory when the limit is reached. Note that this may cause certain queries to fail if there is not enough memory available, such as queries using DISTINCT, ORDER BY or GROUP BY with groupings.
`DEBUG_ANALYZER`	environment	If set, the analyzer will print debug messages. Default is off.
`PILOSA_INDEX_THREADS`	environment	Number of threads used in index creation. Default is the number of cores available in the machine.
`pilosa_index_threads`	environment	Number of threads used in index creation. Default is the number of cores available in the machine. This has precedence over `PILOSA_INDEX_THREADS`.

Example

go-mysql-server contains a SQL engine and server implementation. So, if you want to start a server, first instantiate the engine and pass your sql.Database implementation.

It will be in charge of handling all the logic to retrieve the data from your source. Here you can see an example using the in-memory database implementation:

...

func main() {
    driver := sqle.NewDefault()
    driver.AddDatabase(createTestDatabase())

    config := server.Config{
        Protocol: "tcp",
        Address:  "localhost:3306",
        Auth:     auth.NewNativeSingle("user", "pass", auth.AllPermissions),
    }

    s, err := server.NewDefaultServer(config, driver)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    s.Start()
}

func createTestDatabase() *memory.Database {
    const (
        dbName    = "test"
        tableName = "mytable"
    )

    db := memory.NewDatabase(dbName)
    table := memory.NewTable(tableName, sql.Schema{
        {Name: "name", Type: sql.Text, Nullable: false, Source: tableName},
        {Name: "email", Type: sql.Text, Nullable: false, Source: tableName},
        {Name: "phone_numbers", Type: sql.JSON, Nullable: false, Source: tableName},
        {Name: "created_at", Type: sql.Timestamp, Nullable: false, Source: tableName},
    })

    db.AddTable(tableName, table)
    ctx := sql.NewEmptyContext()

    rows := []sql.Row{
        sql.NewRow("John Doe", "[email protected]", []string{"555-555-555"}, time.Now()),
        sql.NewRow("John Doe", "[email protected]", []string{}, time.Now()),
        sql.NewRow("Jane Doe", "[email protected]", []string{}, time.Now()),
        sql.NewRow("Evil Bob", "[email protected]", []string{"555-666-555", "666-666-666"}, time.Now()),
	}

    for _, row := range rows {
        table.Insert(ctx, row)
    }

    return db
}

...

Then, you can connect to the server with any MySQL client:

> mysql --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 -u user -ppass test -e "SELECT * FROM mytable"
+----------+-------------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+
| name     | email             | phone_numbers                 | created_at          |
+----------+-------------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+
| John Doe | [email protected]      | ["555-555-555"]               | 2018-04-18 10:42:58 |
| John Doe | [email protected]   | []                            | 2018-04-18 10:42:58 |
| Jane Doe | [email protected]      | []                            | 2018-04-18 10:42:58 |

+----------+-------------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+

See the complete example here.

Custom data source implementation

To be able to create your own data source implementation you need to implement the following interfaces:

sql.Database interface. This interface will provide tables from your data source.
- If your database implementation supports adding more tables, you might want to add support for sql.Alterable interface
sql.Table interface. It will be in charge of transforming any kind of data into an iterator of Rows. Depending on how much you want to optimize the queries, you also can implement other interfaces on your tables:
- sql.PushdownProjectionTable interface will provide a way to get only the columns needed for the executed query.
- sql.PushdownProjectionAndFiltersTable interface will provide the same functionality described before, but also will push down the filters used in the executed query. It allows to filter data in advance, and speed up queries.
- sql.Indexable add index capabilities to your table. By implementing this interface you can create and use indexes on this table.
- sql.Inserter can be implemented if your data source tables allow insertions.
If you need some custom tree modifications, you can also implement your own analyzer.Rules.

You can see a really simple data source implementation on our mem package.

Indexes

go-mysql-server exposes a series of interfaces to allow you to implement your own indexes so you can speedup your queries.

Taking a look at the main index interface, you must note a couple of constraints:

This abstraction lets you create an index for multiple columns (one or more) or for only one expression (e.g. function applied on multiple columns).
If you want to index an expression that is not a column you will only be able to index one and only one expression at a time.

Custom index driver implementation

Index drivers provide different backends for storing and querying indexes. To implement a custom index driver you need to implement a few things:

sql.IndexDriver interface, which will be the driver itself. Not that your driver must return an unique ID in the ID method. This ID is unique for your driver and should not clash with any other registered driver. It's the driver's responsibility to be fault tolerant and be able to automatically detect and recover from corruption in indexes.
sql.Index interface, returned by your driver when an index is loaded or created.
- Your sql.Index may optionally implement the sql.AscendIndex and/or sql.DescendIndex interfaces, if you want to support more comparison operators like >, <, >=, <= or BETWEEN.
sql.IndexLookup interface, returned by your index in any of the implemented operations to get a subset of the indexed values.
- Your sql.IndexLookup may optionally implement the sql.Mergeable and sql.SetOperations interfaces if you want to support set operations to merge your index lookups.
sql.IndexValueIter interface, which will be returned by your sql.IndexLookup and should return the values of the index.
Don't forget to register the index driver in your sql.Catalog using catalog.RegisterIndexDriver(mydriver) to be able to use it.

To create indexes using your custom index driver you need to use USING driverid on the index creation query. For example:

CREATE INDEX foo ON table USING driverid (col1, col2)

You can see an example of a driver implementation inside the sql/index/pilosa package, where the pilosa driver is implemented.

Index creation is synchronous by default, to make it asynchronous, use WITH (async = true), for example:

CREATE INDEX foo ON table USING driverid (col1, col2) WITH (async = true)

Old `pilosalib` driver

pilosalib driver was renamed to pilosa and now pilosa does not require an external pilosa server. pilosa is not supported on Windows.

Metrics

go-mysql-server utilizes github.com/go-kit/kit/metrics module to expose metrics (counters, gauges, histograms) for certain packages (so far for engine, analyzer, regex, pilosa). If you already have metrics server (prometheus, statsd/statsite, influxdb, etc.) and you want to gather metrics also from go-mysql-server components, you will need to initialize some global variables by particular implementations to satisfy following interfaces:

// Counter describes a metric that accumulates values monotonically.
type Counter interface {
	With(labelValues ...string) Counter
	Add(delta float64)
}

// Gauge describes a metric that takes specific values over time.
type Gauge interface {
	With(labelValues ...string) Gauge
	Set(value float64)
	Add(delta float64)
}

// Histogram describes a metric that takes repeated observations of the same
// kind of thing, and produces a statistical summary of those observations,
// typically expressed as quantiles or buckets.
type Histogram interface {
	With(labelValues ...string) Histogram
	Observe(value float64)
}

You can use one of go-kit implementations or try your own. For instance, we want to expose metrics for prometheus server. So, before we start mysql engine, we have to set up the following variables:

import(
    "github.com/go-kit/kit/metrics/prometheus"
    promopts "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"
    "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus/promhttp"
)

//....

// engine metrics
sqle.QueryCounter = prometheus.NewCounterFrom(promopts.CounterOpts{
		Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
		Subsystem: "engine",
		Name:      "query_counter",
	}, []string{
		"query",
	})
sqle.QueryErrorCounter = prometheus.NewCounterFrom(promopts.CounterOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "engine",
    Name:      "query_error_counter",
}, []string{
    "query",
    "error",
})
sqle.QueryHistogram = prometheus.NewHistogramFrom(promopts.HistogramOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "engine",
    Name:      "query_histogram",
}, []string{
    "query",
    "duration",
})

// analyzer metrics
analyzer.ParallelQueryCounter = prometheus.NewCounterFrom(promopts.CounterOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "analyzer",
    Name:      "parallel_query_counter",
}, []string{
    "parallelism",
})

// regex metrics
regex.CompileHistogram = prometheus.NewHistogramFrom(promopts.HistogramOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "regex",
    Name:      "compile_histogram",
}, []string{
    "regex",
    "duration",
})
regex.MatchHistogram = prometheus.NewHistogramFrom(promopts.HistogramOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "regex",
    Name:      "match_histogram",
}, []string{
    "string",
    "duration",
})

// pilosa index driver metrics
pilosa.RowsGauge = prometheus.NewGaugeFrom(promopts.GaugeOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "index",
    Name:      "indexed_rows_gauge",
}, []string{
    "driver",
})
pilosa.TotalHistogram = prometheus.NewHistogramFrom(promopts.HistogramOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "index",
    Name:      "index_created_total_histogram",
}, []string{
    "driver",
    "duration",
})
pilosa.MappingHistogram = prometheus.NewHistogramFrom(promopts.HistogramOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "index",
    Name:      "index_created_mapping_histogram",
}, []string{
    "driver",
    "duration",
})
pilosa.BitmapHistogram = prometheus.NewHistogramFrom(promopts.HistogramOpts{
    Namespace: "go_mysql_server",
    Subsystem: "index",
    Name:      "index_created_bitmap_histogram",
}, []string{
    "driver",
    "duration",
})

One important note - internally we set some labels for metrics, that's why have to pass those keys like "duration", "query", "driver", ... when we register metrics in prometheus. Other systems may have different requirements.
