Data Services API

The CartoDB Data Services SQL API (server and client FTM)

Deploy instructions

Steps to deploy a new Data Services API version :

• Deploy new version of dataservices API to all servers
• Update the server user using: ALTER EXTENSION cdb_dataservices_server UPDATE TO '<CURRENT_VERSION>';
• Update the python dependencies if needed: cartodb_geocoder and heremaps
• Add the needed config in the cdb_conf table:
  • redis_metadata_config and redis_metrics_conf
    • {"sentinel_host": "localhost", "sentinel_port": 26379, "sentinel_master_id": "mymaster", "timeout": 0.1, "redis_db": 5}
  • heremaps_conf
    • {"app_id": "APP_ID", "app_code": "APP_CODE"}
• Deploy the client to all the servers with the new version
• Deploy the editor with the new dataservices api version changed (https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb/blob/master/app/models/user/db_service.rb#L18)
• Execute the rails task to update first the CartoDB team organizaton to test in production
  • RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake cartodb:db:configure_geocoder_extension_for_organizations['team']
• Check if all works perfectly for our team. If so, execute the rake tasks to update all the users and organizations:
  • RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake cartodb:db:configure_geocoder_extension_for_organizations['', true]
  • RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake cartodb:db:configure_geocoder_extension_for_non_org_users['', true]
• Freeze the generated SQL file for the version. Eg. cdb_dataservices_server--0.0.1.sql

Local install instructions

• install data services geocoder extension

  git clone git@github.com:CartoDB/data-services.git
  cd data-services/geocoder/extension
  sudo make install
  

• install server and client extensions

  cd client && sudo make install
  cd server/extension && sudo make install
  

• install python library

  cd server/lib/python/cartodb_services && python setup.py install
  

• install extensions in user database

  create extension cdb_geocoder;
  create extension plproxy;
  create extension cdb_dataservices_server;
  create extension cdb_dataservices_client;
  

• add configuration for different services in user database

  # If sentinel is used:
    SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('redis_metadata_config', '{"sentinel_host": "localhost", "sentinel_port": 26379, "sentinel_master_id": "mymaster", "timeout": 0.1, "redis_db": 5}');
    SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('redis_metrics_config', '{"sentinel_host": "localhost", "sentinel_port": 26379, "sentinel_master_id": "", "timeout": 0.1, "redis_db": 5}');
  
  # If sentinel is not used
    SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('redis_metadata_config', '{"redis_host": "localhost", "redis_port": 26379, "sentinel_master_id": "", "timeout": 0.1, "redis_db": 5}');
    SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('redis_metrics_config', '{"redis_host": "localhost", "redis_port": 6379, "sentinel_master_id": "", "timeout": 0.1, "redis_db": 5}');
  
  SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('heremaps_conf', '{"app_id": "APP_ID", "app_code": "APP_CODE", "geocoder_cost_per_hit": "COST_PER_HIT"}');
  SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('user_config', '{"is_organization": false, "entity_name": "<YOUR_USERNAME>"}')
  SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('mapzen_conf', '{"routing_app_key": "ROUTING_API_KEY", "geocoder_app_key": "GEOCODER_API_KEY"}');
  SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('logger_con', '{"geocoder_log_path": "/tmp/geocodings.log"}')
  

• configure plproxy to point to the a database (you can use a specific database for the server or your same user)

   SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('geocoder_server_config', '{ "connection_str": "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=<SERVER_DB_NAME> user=postgres"}');
  

• configure the search path in order to be able to execute the functions without using the schema:

  ALTER ROLE "<USER_ROLE>" SET search_path="$user", public, cartodb, cdb_dataservices_client;
