Sengiri

Flexible sharding access for Ruby on Rails with ActiveRecord

Sharding model generator

    rails g sengiri:model mygroup user name:string

database.yml

    mysql: &mysql
      adapter: mysql2
      encoding: utf8
      reconnect: false
      pool: 1
      username: root
      password:
      host: localhost
    
    mygroup_shard_first: # define shard as 'first'
      <<: *mysql
      database: mygroup_1
      host: hosta
    mygroup_shard_second: # define shard as 'second'
      <<: *mysql
      database: mygroup_2
      host: hostb
    mygroup_shard_third: # define shard as 'third'
      <<: *mysql
      database: mygroup_3
      host: hostc
    .

Sharding migration

Generator

    rails g sengiri:migration mygroup create_user

ActiveRecord task is available on every shard.

    rake sengiri:mygroup:db:create
    rake sengiri:mygroup:db:migrate
    rake sengiri:mygroup:db:rollback
    ...

Sharding access

On a shard, ActiveRecord class is given.

    User.shard('second') do |shard|
      shard.all.limit(10)   # query on db 'mygroup_2'
      shard.find(1)         # query on db 'mygroup_2'
    end

Every shard.

    User.shards do |shard|
      shard.all.limit(10) # query on all shards 'mygroup_1', 'mygroup_2', 'mygroup_3'
    end

All records from all shards.

    all_records = User.all.broadcast

Transaction

In a shard transaction.

    User.shard('second').transaction do
      # in mygroup_2 transaction
    end

In all shards transaction.

    User.transaction do
      # in mygroup_1, mygroup_2 and mygroup_3 transaction
    end

This is same as below

    User.shard('first').transaction do
      User.shard('second').transaction do
        User.shard('third').transaction do
        end
      end
    end
