+/**
+ * This filter replaces binlog events being sent
+ * by binlogrouter module to connected slave server.
+ * The checked binlog events are related to DML
+ * or DDL statements:
+ * if configuration matches, the affected eventa and following ones
+ * are replaced by RAND_EVENT events
+ *
+ * (1) Binlog events being checked
+ *
+ * - HEARTBEAT_EVENT: always skipped
+ * - MARIADB10_GTID_EVENT: just resets filtering process
+ * - MARIADB_ANNOTATE_ROWS_EVENT: filtering is possible
+ * - TABLE_MAP_EVENT: filtering is possible
+ * - QUERY_EVENT: filtering is possible.
+ *   If statement is COMMIT, filtering process stops
+ * - XID_EVENT: filtering process stops.
+ *
+ * (2) Replacing events
+ *
+ * Events are replaced by a RAND_EVENT, which is in details:
+ *
+ * - 19 bytes binlog header
+ * - 8 bytes first seed
+ * - 8 bytes second seed
+ * - 4 bytes CRC32 (if required)
+ *
+ * Number of bytes: 35 without CRC32 ad 39 with it.
