Yuan Teoh 293c1d6889 feat!: update configuration file v2 (#2369)
This PR introduces a significant update to the Toolbox configuration
file format, which is one of the primary **breaking changes** required
for the implementation of the Advanced Control Plane.

# Summary of Changes
The configuration schema has been updated to enforce resource isolation
and facilitate atomic, incremental updates.
* Resource Isolation: Resource definitions are now separated into
individual blocks, using a distinct structure for each resource type
(Source, Tool, Toolset, etc.). This improves readability, management,
and auditing of configuration files.
* Field Name Modification: Internal field names have been modified to
align with declarative methodologies. Specifically, the configuration
now separates kind (general resource type, e.g., Source) from type
(specific implementation, e.g., Postgres).

# User Impact
Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.
Users must eventually update their files to the new YAML format.

# Mitigation & Compatibility
Backward compatibility is maintained during this transition to ensure no
immediate user action is required for existing files.
* Immediate Backward Compatibility: The source code includes a
pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration
files (v1 format) and converts them to the new v2 format under the hood.
* [COMING SOON] Migration Support: The new toolbox migrate subcommand
will be introduced to allow users to automatically convert their old
configuration files to the latest format.

# Example
Example for config file v2:
```
kind: sources
name: my-pg-instance
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project
region: my-region
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: my_user
password: my_pass
---
kind: authServices
name: my-google-auth
type: google
clientId: testing-id
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: some description
statement: SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
parameters:
- name: country
  type: string
  description: some description
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool_2
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: returning the number one
statement: SELECT 1;
---
kind: toolsets
name: example_toolset
tools:
- example_tool
```

About

OceanBase is a distributed relational database management system (RDBMS) that provides high availability, scalability, and strong consistency. It's designed to handle large-scale data processing and is compatible with MySQL, making it easy for developers to migrate from MySQL to OceanBase.

Requirements

Database User

This source only uses standard authentication. You will need to create an OceanBase user to login to the database with. OceanBase supports MySQL-compatible user management syntax.

Network Connectivity

Ensure that your application can connect to the OceanBase cluster. OceanBase typically runs on ports 2881 (for MySQL protocol) or 3881 (for MySQL protocol with SSL).

Example

kind: sources
name: my-oceanbase-source
type: oceanbase
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 2881
database: my_db
user: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}
queryTimeout: 30s # Optional: query timeout duration

{{< notice tip >}} Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME} instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file. {{< /notice >}}

Reference

field type required description
type string true Must be "oceanbase".
host string true IP address to connect to (e.g. "127.0.0.1").
port string true Port to connect to (e.g. "2881").
database string true Name of the OceanBase database to connect to (e.g. "my_db").
user string true Name of the OceanBase user to connect as (e.g. "my-oceanbase-user").
password string true Password of the OceanBase user (e.g. "my-password").
queryTimeout string false Maximum time to wait for query execution (e.g. "30s", "2m"). By default, no timeout is applied.

Features

MySQL Compatibility

OceanBase is highly compatible with MySQL, supporting most MySQL SQL syntax, data types, and functions. This makes it easy to migrate existing MySQL applications to OceanBase.

High Availability

OceanBase provides automatic failover and data replication across multiple nodes, ensuring high availability and data durability.

Scalability

OceanBase can scale horizontally by adding more nodes to the cluster, making it suitable for large-scale applications.

Strong Consistency

OceanBase provides strong consistency guarantees, ensuring that all transactions are ACID compliant.
