A Definitive Guide to Apache ShardingSphere

By: Trista Pan, Zhang Liang, Yacine Si Tayeb

Overview of this book

Apache ShardingSphere is a new open source ecosystem for distributed data infrastructures based on pluggability and cloud-native principles that helps enhance your database. This book begins with a quick overview of the main challenges faced by database management systems (DBMSs) in production environments, followed by a brief introduction to the software's kernel concept. After that, using real-world examples of distributed database solutions, elastic scaling, DistSQL, synthetic monitoring, database gateways, and SQL authority and user authentication, you’ll fully understand ShardingSphere's architectural components, how they’re configured and can be plugged into your existing infrastructure, and how to manage your data and applications. You’ll also explore ShardingSphere-JDBC and ShardingSphere-Proxy, the ecosystem’s clients, and how they can work either concurrently or independently to address your needs. You’ll then learn how to customize the plugin platform to define personalized user strategies and manage multiple configurations seamlessly. Finally, the book enables you to get up and running with functional and performance tests for all scenarios. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy a customized version of ShardingSphere, addressing the key pain points encountered in your data management infrastructure.

Configuration – encryption

Data encryption can transform data based on encryption rules and encryption algorithms to protect private user data, while data decryption reverses the data encryption process.

In this section, we will present DistSQL statements and examples concerning data encryption alongside the YAML configurations and examples.

DistSQL

Now, let's look at the DistSQL statements:

  • Create Encrypt Rules:
    CREATE ENCRYPT RULE tableName(
    COLUMNS(
    (NAME=columnName ,PLAIN=plainColumnName,CIPHER=cipherColumnName,
    TYPE(NAME=encryptAlgorithmType ,PROPERTIES('key'='value')))
    ),QUERY_WITH_CIPHER_COLUMN=true);

To modify the syntax of the encrypt rule, replace CREATE with ALTER and keep the other parts unchanged. Here's an example:

CREATE ENCRYPT RULE t_encrypt (
COLUMNS(
(NAME=user_name,PLAIN=user_name_plain,CIPHER=user_name_cipher,TYPE(NAME=AES,PROPERTIES ('aes-key-value'='123456abc'))),
(NAME=password...
