As each connection now immediately gets a session the dummy session is no
longer required. The next step would be to combine parts of the session
and the client DCB into one entity. This would prevent the possibility of
a client DCB with no associated session. Backend DCBs are different as
they can move from one session to another when the persistent connection
pool is in use.
Whenever a client DCB is accepted, a session for it is allocated. This
simplifies the handling of shared data between DCBs by allowing it to be
placed inside the session object. Currently, the data is stashed away in
the client DCB.
By doing the actual accepting of the new DCB in the core, the protocol
modules can only do the actual protocol level work. This removes some of
the redundant code that was in the protocol modules.
Modified the functions to use a listener instead of a DCB in the accepting
process. This removes some of the dependenices that the listeners have on
the DCB system.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
The protocol now allows protocol modules to return JSON formatted
information about the protocol module internals. Currently this is only
implemented by the mariadbbackend module and it returns the current
connection ID on the backend server.
Removed unused and properly documented all entry points in the protocol
module API. As the removal of the `session` entry point is an backwards
incompatible change, the protocol API version was updated.
Make all modules lowercase and make module loading case
insensitive. Further, make command invocation case insensitive,
as far as the module name is conserned.
If a connection has not been fully established (i.e. authentication has
been completed) then it should not be considered as a connection pool
candidate.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
