hasql 0.5.7

hasql

hasql is a library for acquiring actual connections to masters and replicas in high available PostgreSQL clusters.

Features

• completely asynchronous api

• automatic detection of the host role in the cluster

• health-checks for each host and automatic traffic outage for unavailable hosts

• autodetection of hosts role changes, in case replica host will be promoted to master

• different policies for load balancing

• support for asyncpg, psycopg3 and aiopg

Usage

Some useful examples

from hasql.aiopg import PoolManager

hosts = ",".join([
    "master-host:5432",
    "replica-host-1:5432",
    "replica-host-2:5432",
])

multihost_dsn = f"postgresql://user:password@{hosts}/dbname"

async def create_pool(dsn) -> PoolManager:
    pool = PoolManager(multihost_dsn)

    # Waiting for 1 master and 1 replica will be available
    await pool_manager.ready(masters_count=1, replicas_count=1)
    return pool

from hasql.aiopg_sa import PoolManager

hosts = ",".join([
    "master-host:5432",
    "replica-host-1:5432",
    "replica-host-2:5432",
])

multihost_dsn = f"postgresql://user:password@{hosts}/dbname"

async def create_pool(dsn) -> PoolManager:
    pool = PoolManager(multihost_dsn)

    # Waiting for 1 master and 1 replica will be available
    await pool_manager.ready(masters_count=1, replicas_count=1)
    return pool

from hasql.asyncpg import PoolManager

hosts = ",".join([
    "master-host:5432",
    "replica-host-1:5432",
    "replica-host-2:5432",
])

multihost_dsn = f"postgresql://user:password@{hosts}/dbname"

async def create_pool(dsn) -> PoolManager:
    pool = PoolManager(multihost_dsn)

    # Waiting for 1 master and 1 replica will be available
    await pool_manager.ready(masters_count=1, replicas_count=1)
    return pool

from hasql.asyncpgsa import PoolManager

hosts = ",".join([
    "master-host:5432",
    "replica-host-1:5432",
    "replica-host-2:5432",
])

multihost_dsn = f"postgresql://user:password@{hosts}/dbname"

async def create_pool(dsn) -> PoolManager:
    pool = PoolManager(multihost_dsn)

    # Waiting for 1 master and 1 replica will be available
    await asyncio.gather(
        pool_manager.wait_masters_ready(1),
        pool_manager.wait_replicas_ready(1)
    )
    return pool

from hasql.psycopg3 import PoolManager


hosts = ",".join([
    "master-host:5432",
    "replica-host-1:5432",
    "replica-host-2:5432",
])
multihost_dsn = f"postgresql://user:password@{hosts}/dbname"

async def create_pool(dsn) -> PoolManager:
    pool = PoolManager(multihost_dsn)

    # Waiting for 1 master and 1 replica will be available
    await pool_manager.ready(masters_count=1, replicas_count=1)
    return pool

async def do_something():
    pool = await create_pool(multihost_dsn)
    async with pool.acquire(read_only=False) as connection:
        ...

async def do_something():
    pool = await create_pool(multihost_dsn)
    async with pool.acquire_master() as connection:
        ...

async def do_something():
    pool = await create_pool(multihost_dsn)
    async with pool.acquire(read_only=True) as connection:
        ...

async def do_something():
    pool = await create_pool(multihost_dsn)
    async with pool.acquire_replica() as connection:
        ...

async def do_something():
    pool = await create_pool(multihost_dsn)
    connection = await pool.acquire(read_only=False)
    await pool.release(connection)

async def do_something():
    pool = await create_pool(multihost_dsn)
    try:
        connection = await pool.acquire(read_only=False)
    finally:
        await pool.release(connection)

How it works?

For each host from dsn string, a connection pool is created. From each pool one connection is reserved, which is used to check the availability of the host and its role. The minimum and maximum number of connections in the pool increases by 1 (to reserve a system connection).

For each pool a background task is created, in which the host availability and its role (master or replica) is checked once every refresh_delay second.

When switching hosts roles, hasql detects this with a slight delay.

For PostgreSQL, when switching the master, all connections to all hosts are broken (the details of implementing PostgreSQL).

If there are no available hosts, the methods acquire(), acquire_master(), and acquire_replica() wait until the host with the desired role startup.

Balancer policies

• hasql.balancer_policy.GreedyBalancerPolicy Chooses pool with the most free connections. If there are several such pools, a random one is taken.

• hasql.balancer_policy.RandomWeightedBalancerPolicy Chooses random pool according to their weights. The weight is inversely proportional to the response time of the database of the respective pool (faster response - higher weight).

• hasql.balancer_policy.RoundRobinBalancerPolicy
