Maxavro now supports reading records with the zlib deflate
algorithm.
With this change, each data block is read into memory in one IO
operation. This allows the library to decompress the data block if
necessary.
The avrorouter does not yet use compression when writing the records.
There's no point in indexing the file if it hasn't been synced to
disk. Any attempts to index the file will fail if the file still has an
open data block.
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.
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.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
The module commands now support an optional flag for arguments that when
enabled checks that the argument module name matches the registered domain
name. This can be used to enforce argument type validity for arguments
that are given to modules that expect objects of a certain type.
For example, this is used by the cache and dbfwfilter to prevent valid
filters but of the wrong type being given as arguments.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
Currently, when the avrorouter finishes reading a binlog file or when a
certain number of rows or transactions is reached, it will flush all
tables to disk. This is quite slow as events can easily be written faster
into the binlog than they can be processed by avrorouter.
A solution to this would be to only sync the tables (close the Avro block)
instead of flushing them to disk. This would allow more efficient
processing of the files while still retaining the safe shutdown that
flushing offers.
The DECIMAL value type is now properly handled in Avrorouter. It is
processed into an Avro double value when before it was ignored and
replaced with a zero integer.
