MyCAT是mysql中间件，前身是阿里大名鼎鼎的Cobar，Cobar在开源了一段时间后，不了了之。于是MyCAT扛起了这面大旗，在大数据时代，其重要性愈发彰显。这篇文章主要是MyCAT的入门部署。
一、安装java
因Mycat是用java开发的，所以需要在实验环境下安装java，官方建议jdk1.7及以上版本
Java Oracle官方下载地址为：
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/archive-139210.html
解压jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz文件，并配置java的环境变量
# tar xvf jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz
# mv jdk1.7.0_79/ /usr/local/
编辑/etc/profile文件
# vim /etc/profile 添加如下内容
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_79 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATHexport CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
# source /etc/profile –使/etc/profile文件生效
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_79"Java(TM) SE RuntimeEnvironment(build 1.7.0_79-b15)JavaHotSpot(TM)64-BitServer VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)
二、安装MySQL
MySQL官方下载地址如下：
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
里面有各种版本，包括RPM，二进制，源码包。
为了方便起见，我这里选择是RPM包
# yum install -y mysql-community-server-5.6.26-2.el5.x86_64.rpm
启动MySQL
# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Startingmysqld(viasystemctl):[ OK ]
为root账户创建密码
# mysqladmin -u root password “123456”
建议为123456，后面MyCAT配置文件schema.xml中会用到
三、安装MyCAT
创建MyCAT用户并设置密码
# useradd mycat
# passwd mycat
解压MyCAT文件
# tar xvf Mycat-server-1.5-alpha-20151221110028-linux.tar.gz
# mv mycat/ /usr/local/
设置mycat目录的属主和属组
# chown -R mycat.mycat /usr/local/mycat/
四、测试MyCAT
首先在MySQL上创建三个数据库：db1，db2，db3。
mysql>create database db1;Query OK,1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql>create database db2;Query OK,1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql>create database db3;Query OK,1 row affected (0.00 sec)
启动mycat服务
# cd /usr/local/mycat/bin/
# ./mycat start
StartingMycat-server...
查看mycat服务是否启动
# ps -ef |grep mycat
root 96407257022:47 pts/300:00:00 grep --color=auto mycat
并没有启动
查看日志
# cd /usr/local/mycat/logs/
# cat wrapper.log

根据报错信息，怀疑主机名没有绑定
修改hosts文件，绑定主机名
# vim /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1localhostlocalhost.localdomainlocalhost4localhost4.localdomain4::1localhostlocalhost.localdomainlocalhost6localhost6.localdomain6192.168.244.144MySQL-Server1
重新启动mycat服务
# cd /usr/local/mycat/bin/
# ./mycat start
这次mycat正常启动
# ps -ef |grep mycat
root 107251022:54?00:00:00/usr/local/mycat/bin/./wrapper-linux-x86-64/usr/local/mycat/conf/wrapper.conf wrapper.syslog.ident=mycat wrapper.pidfile=/usr/local/mycat/logs/mycat.pid wrapper.daemonize=TRUE wrapper.lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/mycat root 108817257022:55 pts/300:00:00 grep --color=auto mycat
下面以Travelrecord为例，来进行插入，查询，路由分析等基本操作。
首先利用mycat连接mysql数据库
# mysql -utest -ptest -h127.0.0.1 -P8066 -DTESTDB
其中8066是mycat的监听端口，类似于mysql的3306端口，其中-u，-p，-h分别是用户名，密码和主机，-D是连接的逻辑库。
至于为什么是这些，这个跟配置文件有关。
红色部分表明连接的是mycat。
创建Travelrecord表
createtable travelrecord (id bigint notnullprimarykey,user_id varchar(100),traveldate DATE, fee decimal,days int);
插入数据
mysql>insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(1,'Victor',20160101,100,10);Query OK,1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql>insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(5000001,'Job',20160102,100,10);Query OK,1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql>insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(10000001,'Slow',20160103,100,10);Query OK,1 row affected (0.00 sec)
至于ID为什么取三个值，这个与conf目录下autopartition-long.txt的定义有关，这个文件主要定义auto-sharding-long的规则。
# range start-end ,data node index# K=1000,M=10000.0-500M=0500M-1000M=11000M-1500M=2
我主要是测试在id取不同区间的值时，分片的效果。
下面来看看分片的效果
mysql>select*from db1.travelrecord;+----+---------+------------+------+------+| id | user_id | traveldate | fee | days |+----+---------+------------+------+------+|1|Victor|2016-01-01|100|10|+----+---------+------------+------+------+1 row inset(0.00 sec) mysql>select*from db2.travelrecord;+---------+---------+------------+------+------+| id | user_id | traveldate | fee | days |+---------+---------+------------+------+------+|5000001|Job|2016-01-02|100|10|+---------+---------+------------+------+------+1 row inset(0.00 sec) mysql>select*from db3.travelrecord;+----------+---------+------------+------+------+| id | user_id | traveldate | fee | days |+----------+---------+------------+------+------+|10000001|Slow|2016-01-03|100|10|+----------+---------+------------+------+------+1 row inset(0.00 sec)
果然是分配到三个不同的节点上了。
如果想看MyCAT具体会将数据分配到哪个节点上，可通过路由分析。
语法其实蛮简单，就是SQL语句前加上explain语句。
下面根据explain命令查看create语句和insert语句具体会分配到哪些Datanode上。
mysql> explain createtable travelrecord (id bigint notnullprimarykey,user_id varchar(100),traveldate DATE, fee decimal,days int);+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| DATA_NODE | SQL |+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| dn1 |createtable travelrecord (id bigint notnullprimarykey,user_id varchar(100),traveldate DATE, fee decimal,days int)|| dn2 |createtable travelrecord (id bigint notnullprimarykey,user_id varchar(100),traveldate DATE, fee decimal,days int)|| dn3 |createtable travelrecord (id bigint notnullprimarykey,user_id varchar(100),traveldate DATE, fee decimal,days int)|+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+3rowsinset(0.00 sec) mysql> explain insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(1,'Victor',20160101,100,10);+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| DATA_NODE | SQL |+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| dn1 |insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(1,'Victor',20160101,100,10)|+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+1 row inset(0.01 sec) mysql> explain insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(5000001,'Job',20160102,100,10);+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| DATA_NODE | SQL |+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| dn2 |insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(5000001,'Job',20160102,100,10)|+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+1 row inset(0.00 sec) mysql> explain insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(10000001,'Slow',20160103,100,10);+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| DATA_NODE | SQL |+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+| dn3 |insertinto travelrecord(id,user_id,traveldate,fee,days)values(10000001,'Slow',20160103,100,10)|+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+1 row inset(0.00 sec)
总结：
关于MyCAT的配置其实是蛮简单的，最主要的是熟悉各配置文件的规则。以上用户名，密码，如何分库，都是在配置文件中定义的，后续，有时间再一一详表。
关于配置文件，conf目录下主要以下三个需要熟悉。
server.xml是Mycat服务器参数调整和用户授权的配置文件
schema.xml是逻辑库定义和表以及分片定义的配置文件
rule.xml是分片规则的配置文件
