The line length limitation is now increased to 16384 bytes. It is now
clearly documented in the limitations document.
The configuration parser now uses memory from the heap instead of the
stack. This should remove any problems caused by the larger line length.
When log messages are written with both address and port information, IPv6
addresses can cause confusion if the normal address:port formatting is
used. The RFC 3986 suggests that all IPv6 addresses are expressed as a
bracket enclosed address optionally followed by the port that is separate
from the address by a colon.
In practice, the "all interfaces" address and port number 3306 can be
written in IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation as 0.0.0.0:3306 and in IPv6
notation as [::]:3306. Using the latter format in log messages keeps the
output consistent with all types of addresses.
The details of the standard can be found at the following addresses:
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txthttps://www.rfc-editor.org/std/std66.txt
The libaio is not required by MaxScale so the check for it is no longer
needed.
Updated documentation to match the current requirements to build MaxScale.
The connector plugin directory can now be controlled with the
`connector_plugindir` argument and configuration option. This should allow
the connector to use the system plugins if the versions are binary
compatible.
Replaced calls to mysql_options to mysql_optionsv as the former is
deprecated in Connector-C 3.0 and the latter is supported in Connector-C
2.3.
The Avro C API fails to write bytes of size zero. A workaround is to write
a single zero byte for each NULL field of type bytes.
Also added an option to configure the Avro block size in case very large
records are written.
The resultset of SELECTs that use functions whose result will
always vary or whose result depend upon the user executing the
query should not be cached. The list of functions is the same
as that specified for the query cache of MariaDB:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/query-cache/
If user or system variables are used in a SELECT statement, then
the result will not be cached. That ensures that the wrong result
will not be returned.
If all but one server in a cluster fail and `failover` is enabled for
mysqlmon, the last server would be used as if it were a master. With this
change, the restrictions on failover also require that the last server is
not configured as a slave.
This change will prevent unintended failovers from happening when network
connectivity is bad. It also allows external actors to clear the slave
configuration from the last remaining server to signal MaxScale that the
server can be used as a master.
As before, the cache will be used if there is no ongoing transaction
(includes autocommit being on), or if there is an explicitly read-
only transaction.
In addition, the cache will be used and populated during any other
transaction as long as only pure read statements are executed. After
first non-read statement, the use of the cache is disabled.
They are not particularly useful, they surely are not used
and impose a small cost for every event extracted from the
poll sets.
This commit only removes the maxadmin commands, subsequent
commits will remove the actual code.
The `failover_recovery` option allows failed servers to rejoin the
cluster. This should make using MaxScale with two node clusters easier.
One use case for this is when the replication-manager promotes the last
node in the cluster as the master. When this is done, the slave
configuration is cleared and the read-only mode is disabled. Since the
failover requires that the server is not configured as a slave and that it
is not in read-only mode, it is safe to use `failover_recovery` with
replication-manager.
