Maintenance API

Note

Available in Nexus Repository Pro only when HA-C is Enabled

Note

High Availability Clustering is a legacy feature that only works on the Orient database.

All new deployments should use one of our new high availability or resilient deployment options described in Resiliency and High Availability.

Introduction

These HA-C specific REST endpoints allow the user to inspect and manipulate the state of a node in an Orient database cluster. The expectation is that these will be used mainly for troubleshooting and recovery operations.

Possible Database Names: component, config, security

Endpoints

Check Database

PUT /service/rest/v1/maintenance/{databaseName}/check

Checks database pages for corruption and checks that indices cover all records (i.e. no duplicates).

curl -u admin:admin123 -X PUT http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/maintenance/component/check

Example Response

{
  "pageCorruption" : false,
  "indexErrors" : 0
}

Reinstall Database

PUT /service/rest/v1/maintenance/{databaseName}/reinstall

Attempts to reinstall the full database from the rest of the cluster.

Note

The user can't force a reinstall from a specific node, but typically Orient will choose the node that most recently took a backup or the oldest member (assuming that's not the node requesting the reinstall)

curl -u admin:admin123 -X PUT http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/maintenance/component/reinstall

Example Response

{
  "reinstalled" : true
}

Database Role

This attribute represents the role of the database node in an Orient cluster. The role of MASTER represents a fully writable database node in an Orient cluster which participates in the writeQuorum. The role of REPLICA represents a database node in read-only mode which is accepting only idempotent commands, e.g. read and queries.

Possible Roles: MASTER, REPLICA

Get Role

GET /service/rest/v1/maintenance/{databaseName}/role
curl -u admin:admin123 -X GET http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/maintenance/component/role

Example Response

MASTER

Set Role

PUT /service/rest/v1/maintenance/{databaseName}/role

When setting a database node's role to REPLICA an override is added to Orient's configuration so that node will always be a REPLICA, regardless of the cluster's default role. When the database node is set back to MASTER that override is removed, so it will defer to the cluster's default role - which is MASTER unless it's been frozen.

curl -u admin:admin123 -X PUT http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/maintenance/component/role -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "MASTER"

Example Response

Database Status

This attribute represents the status of the database node in an Orient cluster. The status of ONLINE represents a database node in a normal state which is fully participating in the cluster. The status of OFFLINE represents a database node that is not currently participating in the cluster. The status of NOT_AVAILABLE represents a database node that is not currently available for some reason.

Possible Statuses: ONLINE, OFFLINE, NOT_AVAILABLE

Get Status

GET /service/rest/v1/maintenance/{databaseName}/status
curl -u admin:admin123 -X GET http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/maintenance/component/status

Example Response

ONLINE

Set Status

PUT /service/rest/v1/maintenance/{databaseName}/status

Note

Setting the database status to NOT_AVAILABLE triggers an automatic delta-sync with the rest of the cluster. If this is successful, it will move back to ONLINE.

curl -u admin:admin123 -X PUT http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/maintenance/component/status -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "ONLINE"
