If a server points to a local MaxScale listener, the permission checks for
that server are skipped. This allows permission checks to be used with a
mix of external servers and internal services.
The authenticators should have a similar way to print diagnostic
information as filter and routers do. This allows the authenticators to
print the users in their own format.
In the future, all the diagnostic entry points should be changed so that
they return a structure that contains the information in a standard
form. This information can then be formatted in different ways by other
modules.
Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
When the listeners were created twice, MaxScale would crash when the users
were loaded. This is caused by the fact that the DCB for the listener is
NULL for failed listeners.
Adding a server to multiple monitors is forbidden. This should be detected
and reported to the end user.
The information provided by the config_runtime system to the client isn't
as detailed as it could be. Some sort of an error message stack should be
added so that client facing interfaces could properly report the reason
for the failure. Currently the only way to detect the reason of the
failure is to parse the log files.
The service header in include/maxscale/ contains the public part of the
service API. These functions can be safely used by the modules.
The internal header located in service/core/maxscale/ is used by the core
to initialize MaxScale at startup or to provide other services in a more
controlled way (the config_runtime, for example).
The listeners aren't really destroyed and are only stopped. Further
changes are required so that they won't be started again once they have
been destroyed.
The created listeners are now stored to disk like created servers
are. This allows them to be used even after a restart.
Currently, the listeners cannot be deleted and need to be manually
removed.
The config_runtime.h header contains functions that can be used to
manipulate the running configuration. Currently the header contains the
function to create, add, remove and destroy servers.
When a service is added or removed from a service, a supplementary
configuration file is created. This allows MaxScale to survive restars and
unexpected downtime even if runtime changes to the servers of a service
have been made.
With these changes, it is possible to start MaxScale without any servers,
create servers, add the created servers to services and monitors and
restart Maxscale without losing the runtime configuration changes.
The checks for the server active status are now hidden behind a
macro. This allows for the conditions of the activity to change without
having to alter the code that uses it.
The BACKEND structure in readconnroute is now replaced with the use of the
SERVER_REF structure of the service. This allows dynamic changes to the
list of servers to be made.
Servers can now be added and removed from services which allows routers to
use them with new sessions. The routers don't fully use the new
functionality in the server references which prevents new servers from
being taken into use.
The dbusers.c was a MySQL protocol specific file which was used directly
by some of the modules.
Added a new return value for the loadusers authenticator entry point which
allows fatal failures to occur when users are loaded. Currently this is
only taken into notice when the service is first started. If a listener
later returns a fatal error, it is only logged but the service stays in
operation.
Moved the MySQLAuth authenticator sources and the tests that relate to
this module into a subdirectory in the authenticator
directory. Eventually, all authenticators could have a subdirectory of
their own.
- All now include maxscale/cdefs.h as the very first file.
- MXS_[BEGIN|END]_DECLS added to all C-headers.
Strictly speaking not necessary for private headers, but
does not hurt either.
- Include guards moved to the very top of the file.
- #pragma once added.
- Headers now to be included as <maxscale/xyz.h>
- First step, no cleanup of headers has been made. Only moving
from one place to another + necessary modifications.
