With this change, the cache will be aware of which default database
is being used. That will remove the need for the cache parameter
'allowed_references' and thus make the cache easier to configure
and manage.
The backend reference states should be cleared when a reconnection attempt
is made. Should the creation of a new DCB succeed, the backend should no
longer be closed.
The canonical form of the query should ignore changes in whitespace as the
semantics of the query stays the same regardless of the amount of
whitespace.
The TARBALL variable controls if a special tar.gz package is built when
packages are generated. This package has a different directory structure
compared to the RPM/DEB packages.
If RPM/DEB packages are built, tar.gz packages are not built. This makes
RPM/DEB generation faster and allows tarballs to be built separately with
a proper directory structures.
The MYSQL_* authentication return codes are now in gw_authenticator.h so
that all authenticators can use them. Also dropped the MYSQL_ prefix from
the return codes and added AUTH_INCOMPLETE for a generic
authentication-in-progress return code.
The authenticators can now declare the authentication plugin name. Right
now this is only relevant for MySQL authentication but for example the
HTTP module could implement both Basic and Digest authentication.
When a query has been sent to a backend, the response is now
processed to the extent that the cache is capable of figuring
out how many rows are being returned, so that the cache setting
`max_resultset_rows` can be processed.
The code is now also written in such a manner that it should be
insensitive to how a package has been split up into a chain of
GWBUFs.
The `create_grants` scripts allow users to be easily "copied" to
MaxScale. It queries the backend for grants for all users and converts
them into similar grants for the MaxScale host.
The `create_roles.sql` is a small set of queries which creates two utility
roles, `proxy_authenticator` and `proxy_monitor`. These roles can be
assigned to the actual service and monitor users with a single grant
command.
MaxScale shouldn't require the service and monitor user checks. It makes
sense to disable the checks to speed up the startup process when the user
knows that the permissions are OK.
Session command responses with multiple packets could be spread across
multiple, non-contiguous buffers. If a buffer contained a complete packet
and some extra data but it wasn't contiguous, the debug assertion in
gwbuf_clone_portion would fail. With release builds, it would cause
eventual out-of-bounds memory access when the response would be sent to
the client.
When a backend causes an error and it should be sent to the client, the
backend reference was closed but the waiting results state was not
cleared. This caused a debug assertion to be hit.
The active operation counters are now closed every time a backend referece
is taken out of use. This should fix a few debug assertions that were hit
in tests.
- Single entry/single exit.
- Variables declared as they are needed.
- The GWBUF_EMPTY check removed as it only looks at the first buffer
in a chain. That is, if there had been a non-empty chain where the
first buffer is empty, the function would incorrectly have reported
that the buffer contains no packet.
- Documentation updated.
