Enabling it will give a performance improvement and it offloads work from
the CPU. This leads to better and more complete utilization of system
resources.
The master server of a monitor can now be extracted with the
mon_get_external_master function. It uses the REST API to find a master
server in the set of servers monitored by a monitor.
The test does a request and prints the responses. It is done to see that
the functionality works. Also added a timeout of 10 seconds to both the
connection and data transfer phases.
When the replication status from the external master is checked, the
pending status must be used. This makes sure that the SlaveStatusArray and
the server state are sync.
Also extended the message that was logged when the external master was
lost. By adding the network address there, it makes it easier to see where
the server was replicating from if only the log file is available.
The server allows both unencrypted and encrypted connections on the same
port. MaxScale only allows either encrypted or unencrypted
connections. The differences as well as the reasoning for this need to be
documented.
Services, monitors and filters all use the parameters for object
serialization. This means that when the object is created, the module
parameter must be in the parameter list.
The iterator to the buffer isn't really needed as the beginning of the
buffer can be used instead. This should make the code more robust. Changed
the internal buffer from a vector to a deque as the latter is more
appropriate for insertion on one end and consumption on the other.
Everything of maxbase can now be initialized by a call to
maxbase_init();
(from a C-program) or
maxbase::init();
from a C++-program and finalized with calls to either
maxbase_finish() or maxbase::finish(). Creating an instance
maxbase::MaxBase will take care of both operations.
The parameter validation for all module types follows roughly the same
path: first check whether it's a known parameter and then whether the
value is valid. This can be moved into common functions that removes
duplicated code.
The SSL initialization should only be attempted if `ssl_key`, `ssl_cert`
or `ssl_ca_cert` is defined. In addition to this, the SSL parameters
requirements for servers and listeners are different: servers require only
`ssl_ca_cert` but listeners require all three.
The config and JSON serialization of servers is now from the
parameters. As the server's use a different parameter type, a temporary
adapter was required. Eventually, a lock-free and globally safe way to
"disable" parameters is needed.
The services, monitors and filters now construct the JSON format
parameters from the configuration parameters. This reduces the need for
the amount of explicit operations and makes adding new parameters easier.
The runtime modification of servers, services and monitors now validates
the parameters before starting the update process. This guarantees that
the set of parameters is valid before it is processed.
After the validation, the parameters are now also stored in the list of
configuration parameters. This will simplify the serialization process by
removing the need to explicitly serialize all common object parameters.
Putting the file descriptor first keeps it in line with dprintf.
Making the parameter set an initializer list allows matching against
multiple sets of parameters in one function call. This will compact the
parameter serialization by using the same code for the common service
parameters and the module parameters.
The atexit functions should be registered after there is a need for
them. This fixes the problem where cleanup functions were called before
the initialization for them was done. Also removed the header and footer
printint to stdout.
The paths were wrong in the scripts used to run tests. The same problem
was in the CMake files that used CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR instead of
CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR.
Added missing check for BUILD_SYSTEM_TESTS in avrorouter for the
workaround to building without all dependencies present.
