All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
The external config.h header defined functions and structures that are
intended to be used by modules. The internal header contains functions
that are used only by the MaxScale core.
The module commands now support an optional flag for arguments that when
enabled checks that the argument module name matches the registered domain
name. This can be used to enforce argument type validity for arguments
that are given to modules that expect objects of a certain type.
For example, this is used by the cache and dbfwfilter to prevent valid
filters but of the wrong type being given as arguments.
To test the configuration validation and default value generation, the
functions needed to be refactored to allow parameters to be passed
directly to the function.
Some uses of monitorStart didn't pass the monitor parameters to the
function call. This caused runtime configuration of monitors to not have
any parameters as they never got their parameters.
The schemarouter now accepts all router_options values as parameters.
Also fixed a mistake in the documentation where the router options section
was listed twice.
The parameters that readwritesplit uses now use the new system. This
removes the need for the qualified parameter processing found in config.c.
All values for router_options are now also accepted as parameters. The
router_options is deprecated and support for it will be removed in a
future version.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The variables now use the actual option and parameter names. This should
help make the code more readable and easier to understand in relation to
the used options.
AES_CTR routines are part of openssl 1.0.
If an old library is in use the AES_CTR cannot be specified for
encryption.
Additionally compilation is done without errors.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
Currently, when the avrorouter finishes reading a binlog file or when a
certain number of rows or transactions is reached, it will flush all
tables to disk. This is quite slow as events can easily be written faster
into the binlog than they can be processed by avrorouter.
A solution to this would be to only sync the tables (close the Avro block)
instead of flushing them to disk. This would allow more efficient
processing of the files while still retaining the safe shutdown that
flushing offers.
Using the unique ID for the session is easier to use than an address. This
also allows the removal of all pointer values from the maxadmin output
which is never useful to the end user.
After upgrades, it is usually useful to see which version of MaxScale is
running. By adding a command, we can see the actual version of the running
daemon process instead of the version of the current binary.
The routeQuery() in readconnroute now checks for maintenance mode. If
the server is in maintenance, the session is closed, since this router
has no backend swapping capability.
gwbuf_clone cloned only the first buffer of a chain of buffers,
which never can be the desired outcome, while gwbuf_clone_all
cloned all buffers.
Now, gwbuf_clone behaves the way gwbuf_clone_all used to behave
and gwbuf_clone_all has been removed.
The DECIMAL value type is now properly handled in Avrorouter. It is
processed into an Avro double value when before it was ignored and
replaced with a zero integer.
