DECIMAL types that were larger than 8 bytes were not handled
correctly. The current implementation only prints the lowest 8 bytes of
the integer part of the decimal.
The output generated by a failed call to a module command was previously
overwritten with the error messages stored in the module command
subsystem.
In the case of a failure, the proper procedure is to check if the output
generated by the module command conforms to the JSON API error
specification and if it does, combine it with any system generated error
messages. If the output does not conform, it is stored in the "meta" field
of the returned object. This allows all of the generated output to be
saved.
Only asynchronous authenticators require the thread-specific loading of
users as the synchronous ones all share the same data. If the service does
not declare asynchronous capabilities at startup, the users are not
seeded. This prevents unnecessary loading of users at startup.
Setting the query classifier with an absolute path makes it easier to
manage test setup without having to manually resolve the relative path to
the query classifier from the test source directory.
The query classifier was not initialized for the housekeeper thread. This
means that tasks could not use the query classifier and as the avro
conversion is done inside a task, it can't use it.
As the stale status is not a real status bit and it's used to retain the
history of a master, there is no need to print it in any output. This
output will only confuse users now that the stale status will not be
cleared from masters that go down.
The log manager could send two messages if a log message was posted soon
before the log manager was stopped. This caused a debug assertion which
then manifested as a deadlock inside the log manager.
Make all modules lowercase and make module loading case
insensitive. Further, make command invocation case insensitive,
as far as the module name is conserned.
All modules now have an 8-bit range for capability flags. Currently only
the client side authenticator and protocol capability bits are loaded due
to the fact that backend versions of these modules don't relate to a
particular service.
Since there is a concept called "listener" it is confusing that the
dcb "this" argument in some dcb functions is called 'listener' instead
of 'dcb' as it is called everywhere else.
Using the effective name means that a module command can be invoked
both using the deprecated name as well as the actual name. E.g.
both using mysqlmon and mariadbmon even though only the last one
actually exists as a module.
The trailing comment removal pattern unnecessarily required that a leading
space is present in all trailing comments.
Also, the pattern didn't match if no line ending was included in the SQL
statement. The subject ending should be the third valid terminator in
addition to UNIX and Windows style line endings.
'mysqlmon' is still accepted but 'mariadbmon' is loaded instead.
This is done at runtime instead of e.g. by using a symbolic link,
so that a warning can be logged.
The warning is logged and the translation of the module name is
made by the code that loads the modules so that it's easy to do
the same thing for other modules as well.
In a subsequent commit the documentation is updated.
Pre-loading users for all threads at startup significantly reduces the
chance for failures caused by the lazy initialization of the user database
done by the authenticators.
If users are not loaded at startup and the connection limit for all
servers is reached, authentication in MaxScale will fail not due to too
many connections but due to the lack of authentication data. This causes
repeated reloading of users, which floods the log with messages, and
unnecessary stress on the cluster itself.
As the object name formatting is automated, so should the formatting of
object names in arguments. This also makes 2.2 backwards compatible with
2.1 commands.
The backend DCBs didn't have a valid service pointer whereas the client
DCBs had one. The necessity of the pointer can be questioned as a similar
pointer is located in the session.

The service for a dummy session will be NULL. If authentication fails for
a dummy session, then no service level actions should be taken.
Only the binlogrouter can trigger authentication failure with a dummy
session as it creates connections before the service itself has started.
All internal code is now inside an anonymous namespace to prevent their
use outside of the compilation unit.
Also fixed the wrong return type of ResourceWatcher::etag.
Executing the commands inside a worker thread allows further improvements
to job queuing but mainly it fixes the problem of loading users when
listeners are allocated at runtime.
When a runtime listener was being created, it was allocated in the admin
thread whereas the listeners created at startup were allocated in the
"main" thread. This caused a minor difference in how administrative
functions were handled by the REST API and MaxAdmin. The only real problem
is that listener allocation depends on being done inside a worker thread
as it lazily initializes some resources.
The memory for the rate limit struct was allocated but it was not assigned
for the service. Also corrected a false debug assertion in
service_refresh_users.
