Gorm Sharding

Gorm Sharding plugin using SQL parser and replace for splits large tables into smaller ones, redirects Query into sharding tables. Give you a high performance database access.

Gorm Sharding 是一个高性能的数据库分表中间件。

它基于 Conn 层做 SQL 拦截、AST 解析、分表路由、自增主键填充，带来的额外开销极小。对开发者友好、透明，使用上与普通 SQL、Gorm 查询无差别，只需要额外注意一下分表键条件。

Features

• Non-intrusive design. Load the plugin, specify the config, and all done.
• Lighting-fast. No network based middlewares, as fast as Go.
• Multiple database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) support.
• Integrated primary key generator (Snowflake, PostgreSQL Sequence, Custom, ...).

Install

go get -u gorm.io/sharding

Usage

Config the sharding middleware, register the tables which you want to shard.

import (
  "fmt"

  "gorm.io/driver/postgres"
  "gorm.io/gorm"
  "gorm.io/sharding"
)

db, err := gorm.Open(postgres.New(postgres.Config{DSN: "postgres://localhost:5432/sharding-db?sslmode=disable"))

db.Use(sharding.Register(sharding.Config{
    ShardingKey:         "user_id",
    NumberOfShards:      64,
    PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKSnowflake,
}, "orders", Notification{}, AuditLog{}))
// This case for show up give notifications, audit_logs table use same sharding rule.

Use the db session as usual. Just note that the query should have the Sharding Key when operate sharding tables.

// Gorm create example, this will insert to orders_02
db.Create(&Order{UserID: 2})
// sql: INSERT INTO orders_2 ...

// Show have use Raw SQL to insert, this will insert into orders_03
db.Exec("INSERT INTO orders(user_id) VALUES(?)", int64(3))

// This will throw ErrMissingShardingKey error, because there not have sharding key presented.
db.Create(&Order{Amount: 10, ProductID: 100})
fmt.Println(err)

// Find, this will redirect query to orders_02
var orders []Order
db.Model(&Order{}).Where("user_id", int64(2)).Find(&orders)
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", orders)

// Raw SQL also supported
db.Raw("SELECT * FROM orders WHERE user_id = ?", int64(3)).Scan(&orders)
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", orders)

// This will throw ErrMissingShardingKey error, because WHERE conditions not included sharding key
err = db.Model(&Order{}).Where("product_id", "1").Find(&orders).Error
fmt.Println(err)

// Update and Delete are similar to create and query
db.Exec("UPDATE orders SET product_id = ? WHERE user_id = ?", 2, int64(3))
err = db.Exec("DELETE FROM orders WHERE product_id = 3").Error
fmt.Println(err) // ErrMissingShardingKey

The full example is here.

🚨 NOTE: Gorm config PrepareStmt: true is not supported for now.

🚨 NOTE: Default snowflake generator in multiple nodes may result conflicted primary key, use your custom primary key generator, or regenerate a primary key when conflict occurs.

Primary Key

When you sharding tables, you need consider how the primary key generate.

Recommend options:

• Snowflake
• Database sequence by manully

Use Snowflake

Built-in Snowflake primary key generator.

db.Use(sharding.Register(sharding.Config{
    ShardingKey:         "user_id",
    NumberOfShards:      64,
    PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKSnowflake,
}, "orders")

Use PostgreSQL Sequence

There has built-in PostgreSQL sequence primary key implementation in Gorm Sharding, you just configure PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKPGSequence to use.

You don't need create sequence manually, Gorm Sharding check and create when the PostgreSQL sequence does not exists.

This sequence name followed gorm_sharding_${table_name}_id_seq, for example orders table, the sequence name is gorm_sharding_orders_id_seq.

db.Use(sharding.Register(sharding.Config{
    ShardingKey:         "user_id",
    NumberOfShards:      64,
    PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKPGSequence,
}, "orders")

Use MySQL Sequence

There has built-in MySQL sequence primary key implementation in Gorm Sharding, you just configure PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKMySQLSequence to use.

You don't need create sequence manually, Gorm Sharding check and create when the MySQL sequence does not exists.

This sequence name followed gorm_sharding_${table_name}_id_seq, for example orders table, the sequence name is gorm_sharding_orders_id_seq.

db.Use(sharding.Register(sharding.Config{
    ShardingKey:         "user_id",
    NumberOfShards:      64,
    PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKMySQLSequence,
}, "orders")

No primary key

If your table doesn't have a primary key, or has a primary key that isn't called id, anyway, you don't want to auto-fill the id field, then you can set PrimaryKeyGenerator to PKCustom and have PrimaryKeyGeneratorFn return 0.

Combining with dbresolver

🚨 NOTE: Use dbresolver first.

dsn := "host=localhost user=gorm password=gorm dbname=gorm port=5432 sslmode=disable"
dsnRead := "host=localhost user=gorm password=gorm dbname=gorm-slave port=5432 sslmode=disable"

conn := postgres.Open(dsn)
connRead := postgres.Open(dsnRead)

db, err := gorm.Open(conn, &gorm.Config{})
dbRead, err := gorm.Open(conn, &gorm.Config{})

db.Use(dbresolver.Register(dbresolver.Config{
  Replicas: []gorm.Dialector{dbRead.Dialector},
}))

db.Use(sharding.Register(sharding.Config{
  ShardingKey:         "user_id",
  NumberOfShards:      64,
  PrimaryKeyGenerator: sharding.PKSnowflake,
}))
