Tracking how many times the monitor has performed its monitoring allows
the test framework to consistently wait for an event instead of waiting
for a hard-coded time period. The MaxCtrl `api get` command can be used to
easily extract the numeric value.
Defining the [maxscale] section in a configuration file that is not the
root configuration file is now treated as an error instead of silently
ignored.
Parameter deprecation on the module level means that the parameter should
no longer be used but using it will not cause an error. If a deprecated
parameter is used, it will be removed from the configuration.
Fixed string truncation warnings by reducing max parameter lengths by one
where applicable. The binlogrouter filename lengths are slightly different
so using memcpy to work around the warnings is an adequate "solution"
until the root of the problem is solved.
Removed unnecessary CMake policy settings from qc_sqlite. Adding a
self-dependency on the source file of an external project has no effect
and only caused warnings to be logged.
The maximum number of workers and routing workers are now
hardwired to 128 and 100, respectively. It is still so that
all workers must be created at startup and destroyed at
shutdown, creating/destorying workers at runtime is not
possible.
The documentation stated that all CPUs would be used when threads=auto was
used. In reality the behavior was the same as was with 2.0 (number of CPUs
minus one).
The old hkheartbeat variable was changed to the mxs_clock() function that
simply wraps an atomic load of the variable. This allows it to be
correctly read by MaxScale as well as opening up the possibility of
converting the value load to a relaxed memory order read.
Renamed the header and associated macros. Removed inclusion of the
heartbeat header from the housekeeper header and added it to the files
that were missing it.
With the configuration entry
dump_last_statements=[never|on_close|on_error]
you can now specify when and if to dump the last statements
of of a session.
With the configuration entry
retain_last_statements=<unsigned>
or the debug flag '--debug=retain-last-statements=<unsigned>',
MaxScale will store the specified number of last statements
for each session. By calling
session_dump_statements(session);
MaxScale will dump the last statements as NOTICE messages.
For debugging purposes.
If a MaxScale-generated configuration defines an empty value, it is
ignored with the assumption that the next modification will cause the
problem to correct itself.
Add missing listener JSON diagnostics call. Check that the
diagnostics_json function exists before calling it.
As the protocol modules don't have diagnostics functions, they aren't
called.
Replace hard-coded strings with constant parameters. This makes it
slightly cleaner.
If a listener section specifies both a 'socket' and a 'port' the
creation will fail with a clear error message.
If 'address' and 'socket' is specified, there will be a warning that
the address is meaningless.
It is now impossible to create two listeners for a service that
would listen on the same port/socket (as before), but the error
message is now sensible and provides detailed information to the
user.
"servers_no_promotion" is a comma-separated list of servers
which cannot be chosen when selecting a new master during failover
(auto or manual), or when automatically selecting a new master
for switchover (currently disabled).
The servers in the list are redirected normally and can be promoted
by switchover when manually selecting a new master.
Since a shutdown message will now be sent via the regular epoll route,
there is no need to regularily wake up from epoll in order to check
whether shutdown has been initiated, but we can simply wait in epoll_wait
until told to wake up.
