When MaxScale is started, it will attempt to create the PID directory. If
the directory does not exist and MaxScale is able to create it, MaxScale
will successfully start whereas it previously failed to do so.
If MaxScale lacks the permissions to create the directory, an error
message is printed to the user explaining the reason why MaxScale fails to
start.
The thread id is copied to a local variable to avoid having
__tls_get_addr from unnecessarily being called over and over
again. Together that used to amount to some 1% of the execution
time.
These fixes prevent loops turning into eternal loops when
optimizations have been turned on.
The right remedy is to remove the internal locks from hashtable
and use external locks instead.
The DECIMAL type was not correctly converted to positive integers. The
0x80 bit was set only for negative numbers when it needed to be XOR-ed for
all values.
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.
Backported to the 2.0 branch.
If MaxScale is started without the appropriate permissions to the paths
pointed by default values, the debug assertion fails even though the
parameter is valid but not usable.
The random number generator can be initialized when MaxScale's other
systems are being initialized. This removes the need to initialized it
when the function is used for the first time.
Removed unused spinlocks from DCBs, sessions and the MySQL protocol
structs. They were used in a context where only one thread has access to
the structure.
Removed unused member variables from DCBs.
In a configuration with multiple services, one with connection_timeout and
others without it, the connections to non-connection_timeout services
would get immediately closed due to integer overflow.
As the DCBs are "owned" by threads and are handled without locks, no
cross-thread access to those DCBs should be done. Due to this, the show
persistent command for maxadmin has to be changed to show only the size of
the pool.
This header defines some general functions and maxscale main() return
values. Most of it is still public, but there were some functions
which were moved to a core header.
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 transaction ends, it's good to know what type of a transaction
just ended. Currently, this will be used by readwritesplit to detect when
a read-only transaction ends.
When the relay master or external slave states change, they should be
ignored in the current implementation. When the relay master and slave of
external master events are added, the events can be enabled.
