log load-balancing implementation was not seamlessly integrated within lbprm API. The consequence is that it could become harder to maintain over time since it added some specific cases just for the log backend. Moreover, it resulted in some code duplication since balance algorithms that are common to logs and regular (tcp, http) backends were specifically rewritten for log backends. Thanks to the previous commit, we now have all the prerequisites to make log load-balancing fully leverage lbprm logic. Thus in this patch we make __do_send_log_backend() use existing lbprm algorithms, and we no longer require log-specific lbprm initialization in cfgparse.c and in postcheck_log_backend(). As a bonus, for log backends this allows weighed algorithms to properly support weights (ie: roundrobin, random and log-hash) since we now leverage the same lb algorithms that we use for tcp/http backends (doc was updated).
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
