The unsigned integers that would previously be interpreted as negative
values are now correctly converted into their corresponding avro
values. Due to a limitation in the Avro file format, 64-bit unsigned
integers cannot be represented in their unsigned form.
Since both the signed and unsigned versions of a 32-bit integer cannot fit
into a single Avro int, the type for these was changed to long. This is a
backwards incompatible change which means files generated with older
versions will not convert unsigned values correctly.
The unsignedness of a column is now retained in the Column type as well as
the JSON schema. This allows correct conversion of unsigned integer types
which will be done in a later commit.
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 code that handles the Avro files is now fully abstracted behind the
AvroConverter class that implements the RowEventHandler interface.
The code still has some avro specific behavior in a few places (parsing of
JSON files into TableCreate objects). This can be replaced, if needed, by
querying the master server for the CREATE TABLE statements.
