Hallo Sergey, sorry for the delay, but now sphinxql:// has an own parser and delete_row() is much simplified. If i still has something missed, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Markus Lidel Am 16.06.2013 19:58, schrieb Markus Lidel:

Hi Markus,
thanks for your contribution. Connecting to Sphinx RT index via federatedx sounds like a great idea.
I reviewed attached patch and from what I can see, relevant difference between dialects is as following:
1. Connection to RT index doesn't require database name and you made it optional in parse_url(). That's acceptable with sphinxql scheme, but with mysql scheme it's a bit ambiguous. What do you think if we keep database name mandatory and document that connection string to RT index should look like sphinxql://root@localhost:9306//rt or sphinxql://root@localhost:9306/dummy/rt
Hmmm, i think both ways are a workaround. Probably the best way is to implement a unique parse_url() function for sphinxql and mysql. This way you don't have to specify a database, which isn't used for SphinxQL and for MySQL you couldn't forget to set the database. The only reason why i didn't implement it already was because i want to change as less as possible. I'll look into it and send an updated patch.
2. delete_row(): looks nice, but could be greatly simplified because sphinxql accepts only record identifier in WHERE clause.
Yes, that's true.
3. delete_all_rows(): FWICS there is "TRUNCATE RTINDEX" statement in sphinx. Why can't we use it? Even better patch sphinx to make RTINDEX word optional?
TRUNCATE RTINDEX was implemented first in Sphinx 2.1.1-beta. In the current release the TRUNCATE RTINDEX is not available.
4. table_metadata(): I believe it should be easy and natural to patch sphinx to support SHOW TABLE STATUS. What do you think?
Yes, that will be the best solution, but i didn't looked at the source of Sphinx.
5. query(): Same here, sphinxql shouldn't add implicit limit.
SphinxQL by default adds a limit to 30 rows. So if you don't specify a LIMIT you only get 30 rows back instead of all rows. If you for example have 100 rows in your Sphinx index, and you want to delete all rows, you could only delete 30 at once. So i thought the best way is to add a limit.
6. test_connection(): What's the problem with test query?
Sphinx simply doesn't understand the test query:
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1=0
so i changed it into
SELECT * FROM <table> LIMIT 0
which should do the same, and Sphinx did understand.
Did I miss anything else?
If so, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Markus Lidel
Thanks, Sergey

написал(а): Hello,
the Sphinx Search engine has RT indexes, which could be updated with a subset of SQL commands, refered to as SphinxQL:
http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/2.1.1/sphinxql-reference.html
Because the FederatedX storage engine uses some commands, which Sphinx does not know, here is a patch, wich extends the FederatedX storage engine to support this subset of commands. Now its possible to update Sphinx RT indexes directly from MariaDB. To create a connection to the RT index in the Sphinx default RT-index:
index rt { type = rt
path = @CONFDIR@/data/rt
rt_field = title rt_field = content
rt_attr_string = title rt_attr_string = content
rt_attr_uint = gid }
you just have to call:
CREATE TABLE `rt` ( `id` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `title` TEXT, `content` TEXT, `gid` INT UNSIGNED ) ENGINE=FEDERATED CONNECTION='sphinxql://root@localhost:9306/rt';
It would be great, if the attached patch could be integrated into MariaDB. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Markus Lidel
