The total timeout for the retrying of interrupted queries can now be
configured with the `query_retry_timeout` parameter. It controls the total
timeout in seconds that the query can take.
The actual connection, read and write timeouts of the connector aren't a
good configuration value to use for abstracted queries as the time that it
takes to execute a query can be composed of both connections, reads and
writes. This is caused by the usage of MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT that hides the
fact that the connector reconnects to the server when a query is
attempted.
The new `query_retries` parameter controls how many times an interrupted
query is retried. This retrying of interrupted queries will reduce the
rate of false positives that MaxScale monitors detect.
A set of the core MaxScale parameters can now be altered at runtime. This
set consists of the authentication timeouts and the admin interface
authentication. Other parameters either can't be modified due to internal
limitations or aren't sensible to modify at runtime.
The filter names for the service parameter `filters` weren't converted
into the new format. This caused a configuration error when a filter with
significant whitespace in its name was used in a service.
When a persisted configuration file is read, the values in it are
considered to be more up-to-date than the ones in the main configuration
file. This allows all objects to be persisted in a more complete form
making it easier to change configuration values at runtime.
This change is intended to help make runtime alterations to services
possible.
The service, filter and monitor resources now have a "parameters" value
which contains a set of all configuration parameters for that object. This
set contains both standard and non-standard parameters.
Also fixed a mistake in the constant name definitions for the monitor
parameters "events" and "script".
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.
The external config.h header defined functions and structures that are
intended to be used by modules. The internal header contains functions
that are used only by the MaxScale core.
