我是山姆鍋

對於流量高的 Wordpress 網站來說,資料庫往往是第一個出現的瓶頸。針對資料庫擴充性的問題,本文介紹 HyperDB 這個解決方案。

HyperDB 設計來取代內建的 $wpdb 物件,因此,對於現有程式來說,無須修改就能夠享受它帶來的好處。
HyperDB 支援多個資料庫服務器,可以將唯讀的請求導到 MySQL
從屬 (slave) 伺服器以提高查詢效能;
當某一台資料庫伺服器沒有回應,它也能夠偵測出來,並將請求導到其他還有作用的伺服器,以達到錯誤轉移的效果。

前提假設

  • 假設有兩台 MySQL 伺服器,已經按照 設定 MySQL Master-Master
    複製

    方式設定。
  • 這兩台 MySQL 伺服器各自內部的連線網址分別為: node1.local 跟
    node2.local。

安裝方式

複製 db.php

將 HyperDB 的 zip 檔解開到某個目錄,將其中的 db.php 複製到
wp-content 目錄中。

建立 db-config

在跟 wp-config.php 同一層的目錄,建立名為
db-config.php 的檔案,底下為其內容:

/** Masters and slaves
*
* A database definition can include 'read' and 'write' parameters. These
* operate as boolean switches but they are typically specified as integers.
* They allow or disallow use of the database for reading or writing.
*
* A master database might be configured to allow reading and writing:
*   'write' => 1,
*   'read'  => 1,
* while a slave would be allowed only to read:
*   'write' => 0,
*   'read'  => 1,
*
* It might be advantageous to disallow reading from the master, such as when
* there are many slaves available and the master is very busy with writes.
*   'write' => 1,
*   'read'  => 0,
* HyperDB tracks the tables that it has written since instantiation and sending
* subsequent read queries to the same server that received the write query.
* Thus a master set up this way will still receive read queries, but only
* subsequent to writes.
*/

/**
* Slaves lag awareness
*
* HyperDB accommodates slave lag by making decisions, based on the defined lag
* threshold. If the lag threshold is not set, it will ignore the slave lag.
* Otherwise, it will try to find a non-lagged slave, before connecting to a lagged one.
*
* A slave is considered lagged, if it's replication lag is bigger than the lag threshold
* you have defined in $wpdb->$default_lag_threshold or in the per-database settings, using
* add_database(). You can also rewrite the lag threshold, by returning
* $server['lag_threshold'] variable with the 'dataset' group callbacks.
*
* HyperDB does not check the lag on the slaves. You have to define two callbacks
* callbacks to do that:
*
* $wpdb->add_callback( $callback, 'get_lag_cache' );
*
* and
*
* $wpdb->add_callback( $callback, 'get_lag' );
*
* The first one is called, before connecting to a slave and should return
* the replication lag in seconds or false, if unknown, based on $wpdb->lag_cache_key.
*
* The second callback is called after a connection to a slave is established.
* It should return it's replication lag or false, if unknown,
* based on the connection in $wpdb->dbhs[ $wpdb->dbhname ].

// The ending PHP tag is omitted. This is actually safer than including it.

重點在其中的 $wpdb->add_database 敘述,第一個敘述將 Wordpress 現有的資料庫連線作為預設,
只有這個的話,行為跟沒有安裝 HyperDB 應該一樣。後兩個敘述,就是把 node1.local
跟 node2.local 這兩個資料庫加入成為唯讀的連線設定。

修改 wp-config.php

修改 wp-config.php 檔案,在最後加上下列敘述:

require_once(ABSPATH . 'db-config.php');
