vitess-consul-tests

This repo has resources to create a Vitess cluster using Consul for the topology server for testing purposes.

After cloning this repo, create a minikube cluster and a namespace:

minikube start
kubectl create ns vitess

Deployment:

• Apply consul.yaml file, it will create a consul client pod and 3 server nodes in cluster. Once it is ready you can get URL for consul UI from minikube

kubectl apply -f consul.yaml
minikube service consul-ui -n vitess

|-----------|-----------|-------------|---------------------------|
🏃  Starting tunnel for service consul-ui.
|-----------|-----------|-------------|------------------------|
| NAMESPACE |   NAME    | TARGET PORT |          URL           |
|-----------|-----------|-------------|------------------------|
| vitess     | consul-ui |             | http://127.0.0.1:59911 |
|-----------|-----------|-------------|------------------------|

• Apply vtctld.yaml file to deploy vtctld pod. It has a nginx sidecar to proxy consul requests (localhost:8500) to consul client:

kubectl apply -f vtctld.yaml

• Exec into vtctld container and run following commands:

kubectl exec --namespace vitess --stdin --tty $VTCTLD_POD_NAME -- /bin/sh
/vt/bin/vtctlclient -server localhost:15999 AddCellInfo -server_address localhost:8500 -root vitess/us_east_1 us_east_1

• Apply mysql.yaml file to create vttablet and mysql services (it takes 20-30 seconds for mysql to be up and running, so vttablet container might get restarted 1-2 times until then):

kubectl apply -f mysql.yaml

• Apply vtgate.yaml to create vtgate service:

kubectl apply -f vtgate.yaml

• Exec into vtctld container to init shard master:

kubectl exec --namespace vitess --stdin --tty $VTCTLD_POD_NAME -- /bin/sh
/vt/bin/vtctlclient -server localhost:15999 InitShardPrimary -force vitess-test/0 us_east_1-1126369102

At this step after making sure every pod is up and running we port-forward :3306 from vtgate pod to our local and test connection:

kubectl port-forward pod/$VTGATE_POD_NAME 33306:3306 -n vitess
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:33306 -> 3306
Forwarding from [::1]:33306 -> 3306
