Module cartridge.roles

Role management (internal module).

The module consolidates all the role management functions: cfg , some getters, validate_config and apply_config .

The module is almost stateless, it’s only state is a collection of registered roles.

(Added in v1.2.0-20)

Functions

reload ()

Perform hot-reload of cartridge roles code.

This is an experimental feature, it’s only allowed if the application enables it explicitly: cartridge.cfg({roles_reload_allowed = true}) .

Reloading starts by stopping all roles and restoring the initial state. It’s supposed that a role cleans up the global state when stopped, but even if it doesn’t, cartridge kills all fibers and removes global variables and HTTP routes.

All Lua modules that were loaded during cartridge.cfg are unloaded, including supplementary modules required by a role. Modules, loaded before cartridge.cfg aren’t affected.

Instance performs roles reload in a dedicated state ReloadingRoles . If reload fails, the instance enters the ReloadError state, which can later be retried. Otherwise, if reload succeeds, instance proceeds to the ConfiguringRoles state and initializes them as usual with validate_config() , init() , and apply_config() callbacks.

Hot-reload could be forbidden in runtime with forbid_reload function.
