The debug assertion assumes that the table definition is always in the
binlogs. If a binlog row event without a table definition is read, debug
versions would crash even though the situation is acceptable and expected.
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.
MariaDB and others match grants first by exact hostname/IP and then by
wildcard. If there are no exact matches, the wildcard grant should be
picked. This can be tested by having different passwords for localhost and
remote address.
The SQLite based authentication should first check for an exact match and
then only after that should it try to match the hostname to a wildcard
grant.
The get_users function now combines the functionality of the old get_users
and get_all_users. This removes large parts of similar code.
Removed the listener resources as MySQLAuth was the only one that used it.
The user data is now stored inside a SQLite3 database. By storing the data
inside a database, we remove the restriction that the previous hashtable
based implementation had.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
The backtick was copied to the field name and converted to an underscore
when the name was transformed into a valid Avro identifier. This caused
one extra character to appear in the field name in the Avro schema files.
For instance, if bob is returned an error because he does not have
the required grants, then if the error were cached, alice would
receive bob's error reply even if she has the required grants.
Monitored nodes could be part of different cluster UUIDs: select only
the ones belonging to UUID with more joined nodes.
In case of different UUIDs if the joined numbers is less than (n_nodes
/ 2 ) + 1 don’t consider any node part of the cluster
- snake_case
- member variables prefixed with m_
- static member variables prefixed with s_
- where prefixes are used (z,p,s), the following character
is capitalized
As the cdc_kafka_producer script is an example, it should flush the
producer after every new record. This should make it easier to see that
events from MaxScale are sent to Kafka.
The firewall filter should allow COM_PING and other similar commands to
pass through as they are mainly used to check the status of the backend
server or to display statistics. The COM_PROCESS_KILL is the exception as
it affects the state of the backend server. This is better controlled with
permissions in the server than in the firewall filter.
Commands that require special grants aren't allowed to pass as they are
mainly for maintenance purposes and these should not be done through the
firewall.
