The operation of the statement to be prepared is no longer
reported as the operation of the PREPARE statement.
Instead, when the type of the statement is
QUERY_TYPE_PREPARE_NAMED_STMT, the operation can be obtained
using qc_get_prepare_operation().
The qc_mysqlembedded implementation will be provided in a
subsequent commit.
Given a config file "config.cnf", we look for the directory
"config.cnf.d" and recursively in that hierarhcy load all files
whose suffix is ".cnf"; other files are ignored.
Currently duplicate sections are checked on a file by file basis.
That will be changed so that duplicate sections are not allowed
across all the files.
- First <maxscale/cdefs.h>
- Then all system, c-runtime, OS include files in alphabetical order.
- Then include files for "3rd-party" software in a loose order of
importance.
- Then maxscale headers ordered alphabetically.
The operation of a PREPARE statement will be that of the preparable
statement. That will make it possible to know whether an EXECUTEd
prepared statement e.g. is a SELECT or an UPDATE.
Now that a filter can express that the transaction state is tracked,
the cache implementation can be simplified. We do not need to cater
for the case that a "too short" or "too long" a packet would be
delivered.
Further, since the autocommit mode and transaction state of the session
are tracked, the filter can cache data when it is safe to do so. In
practice that means when either AUTOCOMMIT is ON and no explicit
transaction is active or when a READ ONLY transaction is active,
irrespective of the autocommit state.
In principle it would be possible to tentatively cache data during
a transaction, and if the transaction is committed successfully
flush the tentatively cached data to the actual cache, but that will
be for another day.
The transaction state only reflects explicitly started transactions.
Thus, by looking at the autocommit mode and the transaction state a
component can figure out whether the current statement will be committed
or not.
The transaction state must be updated after a buffer has been split
into buffer containing individual packets.
NOTE: The actual updating of the transaction state and the autocommit
mode is currently wrong, but will be updated in a subsequent change.
The authentication checks make sure that a user has all the required
grants to access the database. This prevents the creation of unnecessary
backend connections reducing the overall load on the database.
Doing preliminary authentication in MaxScale enables the creation of more
informative error messages.
With this change, whether something should be logged or, that is,
whether the used log priority is enabled or not, is checked before
the logging function is called. That should save a few cycles.
Now mxs_log_message() always logs a message, without consideration
for whether the priority is enabled or not. The inline function
mxs_log_is_priority_enabled() returns true if a particular priority
is enabled and the MXS_LOG_MESSAGE() macro (that MXS_ERROR etc. are
expanded into) call that before calling the actual logging function.
Some of the libraries used by MaxScale are distributed under BSD
licenses. The BSD license requires that the license text is included with
the binary distributions.
Some of the tests depended on a working installation where modules are all
located at the default paths. These tests now explicitly set the module
directory which fixes the immediate problem.
Disabled the starting of services in the service test as this will fail
with real modules. The dummy internal modules aren't build and should be
removed in a later commit. In general, it might be better to do service
level testing outside the internal test suite.
The HTTPD protocol mistakenly assumed that the `authenticator` parameter
of a listener would be NULL if the default authenticator is used.
Recent changes modified it so that the value is never NULL and
`NullAuthDeny` would be used for protocols which did not implement the
auth_default entry point.
Common capabilities are now defined in routing.h. The common
capabilities can be defined using bits 0 - 15.
Router capabilities are defined using bits 16-31 and filter
capabilities (should there ever be such) using bits 32-47.
So, to find out the capabilities of a service you only need to
OR the capabilities of the router and all filters together.
For instance, if a single filter needs statement based routing,
then that is what is done.
The release notes now mention that the caching is done by the
authenticators, not by the core. It also mentions that only MySQLAuth
implements this functionality.
Added notes to binlogrouter documentation about the changes to the loading
and storing of users.
Cleaned up MySQL-Authenticator document to make it a bit easier to read.
Doing the checksum matching after memory is allocated and all the work is
done is not very efficient. A simpler solution is to always replace the
users when we reload them.
Replacing the users every time the service users are reloaded will not
cause a degradation in performance because the previous implementation
already does all the extra work but then just discards it.
A faster solution would be to first query the server and request some sort
of a checksum based on the result set the users query would
create. Currently, this can be done inside a stored procedure but it is
not very convenient for the average user. Another option would be to
generate a long string with GROUP_CONCAT but it is highly likely that some
internal buffer limit is hit before the complete value is calculated.
The path that was given as the option for the cache directory wasn't
properly checked for terminating forward slashes. Due to this, the cache
file was created with the wrong name.
The dbusers.c was a MySQL protocol specific file which was used directly
by some of the modules.
Added a new return value for the loadusers authenticator entry point which
allows fatal failures to occur when users are loaded. Currently this is
only taken into notice when the service is first started. If a listener
later returns a fatal error, it is only logged but the service stays in
operation.
Moved the MySQLAuth authenticator sources and the tests that relate to
this module into a subdirectory in the authenticator
directory. Eventually, all authenticators could have a subdirectory of
their own.
