The charset sent in the handshake is now done with the following
priorities:
* First Master server
* Last Slave server
* First Running server or Down server whose charset is known
The change is that server in the Down state to which we've successfully
connected to can also be used as the charset source. This, in addition
with an "empty" default charset, helps avoid the use of the default latin1
charset unless absolutely necessary.
The mon_ping_or_connect_to_db resets the MYSQL handle which caused the
loss of the error message. Returning a new enumeration value for
authentication errors solves this problem.
The backend didn't expect AuthSwitchRequest packets in response to the
handshake response packets. This is allowed by the protocol and appears to
happen with at least MySQL 8.0.
The Connector-C was changed to always return only the client's charset,
not the actual charset that the connection ends up using. To cope with
this, the code has to use SQL to join the default character set name to
the default collation for it which can be used to extract the numeric ID
of the charset.
The password values are now masked with asterisks. This tells whether a
password is set or not but it does not expose any information about the
password itself.
The errors that are ignored by readwritesplit are now stored as the
current close reason in the Backend. This allows the information about the
error to be retained and it can be used later in the error handler to
display the true reason why the connection was closed.
The hangup and error handlers now have unique messages. Although the
behavior in the handlers is practically the same in both cases, the cause
of the error is not the same.
If a socket error is present, it is added to the error message. If an
error is present, it should clearly show the reason why the TCP socket was
closed.
The is_fake_event boolean helps distinguish fake events from real
ones. This makes figuring out the real source of hangup events easier.
The use of a regular expression allows multiple rewrite rules to be
combined into one. This allows more versatile conversions but, given the
simple nature of regular expressions, also makes accidental changes more
likely.
Addd mxs::pcre2_substitute that is a more C++-friendly version of
mxs_pcre2_substitute to make. This makes string replacement a lot easier
to do when the source and destination are not C strings.
The gwbuf_hexdump_pretty displays the hex contents of the buffer alongside
the human-readable version of it. The text version helps identify parts of
the buffer that contain text which makes protocol data decoding easier.
Added new ssl_version value for TLSv1.3. This allows the list of accepted
protocol versions to be limited to all supported protocols. Previously
TLSv1.3 was only available with ssl_version=MAX.
Also fixed the enum value serialization to use a lowercase v. This causes
them to have the same value as the one used in the enum.
Previously when ssl_version was used with a value that is not supported on
the system, an unknown parameter error was returned. This could be
confusing and logging a proper error message should make it clear.
Allows for code like
CacheConfig config("MXS-2727");
config.storage = std::string("inmemory_storage");
config.soft_ttl = std::chrono::seconds(1);
config.hard_ttl = std::chrono::seconds(10);
config.max_size = 10;
config.thread_model = CACHE_THREAD_MODEL_MT;
config.enabled = true;
to be used when you want to create a configuration manually and not
from a configuration file.
TIMESTAMP2, DATETIME2 and TIME2 values with decimal parts are now
correctly converted into their string forms. Previously the decimal part
was ignored but most of the code required to extract it was in place.
Logging the pipe buffer size on startup will tell how large it was at the
time when MaxScale read it. If there are some abnormalities in it, this
will make it visible.
Logging the worker ID when the posting of a message fails will tell which
particular worker it was. For example, if the worker in question is the
main worker (i.e. ID 0), we know there's something that's blocking the
processing.
