The admin requests are now processed in blocking mode. The timing out of
connecttions is handled by a specific timeout thread that checks the state
of each admin request.
The simplification will help with the JSON parsing with PUT/POST
commands. If non-blocking IO is used, the network reading code and JSON
parsing needs a lot more work to handle partial reads.
If the administrative interface requires higher performance and
concurrency, a multi-threaded solution could be created.
When MaxScale is started, a separate thread for the administrative
interface is started. This allows the worker threads to handle client
requests while the administrative thread handles the lower priority
administrative requests.
The administrative interface responds to all request with a 200 OK HTTP
response. This allows the administrative interface itself to be tested.
