Updated all examples to use parameters instead of router_options. Added a
more clear note about router_options being deprecated. Removed unnecessary
parameters from all examples.
The transaction safety was checked even if master GTID registration was
disabled. This always caused a failure when the router was started without
the transaction safety parameter.
As transaction safety is required by the GTID registration, it is not very
helpful to refuse to start if an invalid set of options is detected. To
make usage of the master GTID registration easier, the transaction safety
is also automatically enabled.
The documentation stated that the binlogrouter would use the cache
directory to store the binary log files. In reality, there was no default
value and the service would fail to start without a binlogdir parameter.
The router now uses the data directory (/var/lib/maxscale/) to store the
binary logs.
Set the default value of mariadb10-compatibility to true. This is in line
with the fact that most installations should use the router with a MariaDB
10.0 server or newer.
The new parameter allows the session to be "locked" to the master server
after a stored procedure is called. This will keep the session state
consistent if the stored procedure call modifies the state of the session.
The schemarouter can now resolve database mapping conflicts in a
deterministic manner. This will fix the problem of central databases which
are replicated shards being assigned in a non-deterministic manner.
The readwritesplit now sends COM_PING queries to backend servers that have
been idle for too long. The option is configured with the
`connection_keepalive` parameter.
The Avro C API fails to write bytes of size zero. A workaround is to write
a single zero byte for each NULL field of type bytes.
Also added an option to configure the Avro block size in case very large
records are written.
The combination of the default values of `disable_sescmd_history=false`
and `max_slave_connections=100%` does not make sense as it is not possible
to find a replacement slave in case an active one fails.
