Implement DB `use_replicas_for_read_queries`
What does this MR do?
The second part of gitlab-com/gl-infra/scalability#1005 (closed). Should be deployed after !59086 (merged).
This MR implements use_replicas_for_all_reads
to redirect all read queries to the replicas, regardless of primary stickiness. This would help optimizing the expensive queries, forcefully pushing them to the replicas. This does not affect write or ambiguous queries.
::Gitlab::Database::LoadBalancing::Session.current.use_primary!
::Gitlab::Database::LoadBalancing::Session.current.use_replicas_for_read_queries do
User.find_by(email: 'a@a.com') # This goes to a replica, regardless of recent stickiness
end
Screenshots (strongly suggested)
Not really. This is a new interface at the load balancing layer.
