Sorry for the clickbaity title. This is about static method
ConnectionTimeouts::getHTTPTimeouts(). It was be declared in header
IO/ConnectionTimeouts.h, and defined in header
IO/ConnectionTimeoutsContext.h (!). This is weird and caused issues with
linking on s390x (##45520). There was an attempt to fix some
inconsistencies (#45848) but neither did @Algunenano nor me at first
really understand why the definition is in the header.
Turns out that ConnectionTimeoutsContext.h is only #include'd from
source files which are part of the normal server build BUT NOT part of
the keeper standalone build (which must be enabled via CMake
-DBUILD_STANDALONE_KEEPER=1). This dependency was not documented and as
a result, some misguided workarounds were introduced earlier, e.g.
0341c6c54b
The deeper cause was that getHTTPTimeouts() is passed a "Context". This
class is part of the "dbms" libary which is deliberately not linked by
the standalone build of clickhouse-keeper. The context is only used to
read the settings and the "Settings" class is part of the
clickhouse_common library which is linked by clickhouse-keeper already.
To resolve this mess, this PR
- creates source file IO/ConnectionTimeouts.cpp and moves all
ConnectionTimeouts definitions into it, including getHTTPTimeouts().
- breaks the wrong dependency by passing "Settings" instead of "Context"
into getHTTPTimeouts().
- resolves the previous hacks
The following headers are pretty generic, so use forward declaration as
much as possible:
- Context.h
- Settings.h
- ConnectionTimeouts.h
(Also this shows that some missing some includes -- this has been fixed)
And split ConnectionTimeouts.h into ConnectionTimeoutsContext.h (since
module part cannot be added for it, due to recursive build dependencies
that will be introduced)
Also remove Settings from the RemoteBlockInputStream/RemoteQueryExecutor
and just pass the context, since settings was passed only in speicifc
places, that can allow making a copy of Context (i.e. Copier).
Approx results (How much units will be recompiled after changing file X?):
- ConnectionTimeouts.h
- mainline: 100
- Context.h:
- mainline: ~800
- patched: 415
- Settings.h:
- mainline: 900-1K
- patched: 440 (most of them because of the Context.h)
