The tee filter iterates over the available ports and finds the first
available network listener and tries to connect. This allows the use of
UNIX domain sockets with services that are targeted by the tee filter.
The tee filter now uses the local client class to clone the queries. This
imposes some restrictions on how the filter can be used but also makes
MaxScale as a whole more robust.
The local client class handles a network connection to a local service. It
is meant to be used with the tee filter so that the internal cloning of
DCBs can be removed.
The local client class connects to a port on the local host. This requires
that the user connecting to the tee filter has adequate grants to connect
locally to a MaxScale service.
After authentication for the local client is complete, the client will
pipe all queries to the service while ignoring any responses it
generates. This could be expanded so that a special handler would be given
as an argument. The handler would then handle the responses to the
queries.
Refactored the backend authentication functions so that they can be
exposed to the tee filter. This allows the tee filter to use the same
functions as the protocol modules use without having to reimplement them
inside the tee filter.
Allowing requests to be converted to raw HTTP requests allows them to be
propagated to other instances of MaxScale. This should allow multiple
MaxScales to perform the same action in a coherent manner.
A simple clustering mechanism needs to be added to make MaxScale aware of
other instances.
The module command self links now point to an endpoint that executes the
module command. Depending on the type of the module command, either a GET
or a POST request must be made.
The type and name parsing functions could move outside of allocated memory
as they didn't check for the terminating null character. Also fixed the
printf format string used when the list of used tables is being created.
Fixed CDC testing connector to abort on error and added some extra output
to the cdc_datatypes test.
A quoted string is a string enclosed in '"':s. This makes it clear
where the string begins and ends, avoiding ambiguity with whitespace.
After the config file has been loaded, the '"':s at the beginning
and at the end of the string are erased. Querying the config value
with config_get_string() will return this de-quoted value.
For example, if the config file reads 'my_string="test""', the actual
string will be 'test"'.
Files are saved in GTID repo at creation time: this allows to show
files without transactions via SHOW [FULL] BINARY LOGS
The FULL keywords add domain_id and server id to the output as file
prefix: 0/10122/mysql-bin.000080
The /maxscale/ resource now supports PUT requests which modify core
parameters. As not all parameters can be changed at runtime, only
modifications to parameters that support runtime configuration are
allowed.
A set of the core MaxScale parameters can now be altered at runtime. This
set consists of the authentication timeouts and the admin interface
authentication. Other parameters either can't be modified due to internal
limitations or aren't sensible to modify at runtime.
The /users/ resource shows all user accounts that can be used with
MaxScale. This resource is further split into two resource collections,
/users/inet and /users/unix, which contain the network users and Linux
accounts respectively.
The REST API now uses the same users as MaxAdmin network interface. This
allows them to be created with MaxAdmin.
The next step is to add user creation to the REST API.
The runtime error buffer is now a thread-local buffer. This fixes the
build failure on older systems where the compiler doesn't allow
thread-local non-POD objects to be created.
Also expanded some of the JSON validation functions so that they provide
better errors.
The requests that send a body should define at least a `data` member.
Added a simple test that checks that bad requests are rejected. This test
should be expanded to check that the returned error body contains the
correct members.
This allows MaxScale to use the PATCH functionality that's only in the
newer versions of the library. It also removes some of the problems that
exist with older systems that don't support all of the options.
Standalone events in transaction (no COMMIT event) are now handled:
the GTID is saved to gtid_maps storage.
Transaction detection assumes there is only one query_event after GTID
event with MARIADB_FL_STANDALONE flag set.
Saving GTID components into gtid_maps storage will allow to create a
hiearchical binlog cache dir.
Empty GTID for master registration can be specified with SET
@@global.gtid_slave_pos = ‘’
The template class wraps a HashMap such that only a few operations
are allowed. Usage requires specializing a RegistryTraits class
template for each entry type.
The /maxscale/ resource now has values for most of the configuration
parameters in the [maxscale] section as well as the version, commit and
uptime information.
The schema generator program needs to add the real_type and length fields
if the data types define them.
Also fixed a bug where the real_type and length fields were checked for
generated fields.
When a cloned DCB is created, the service pointer is not copied and it
needs to be manually set in the newSession entry point. This most likely
due to the fact that the cloned DCB always has a different service and it
is not possible to deduce it.
Another option would be to pass the target service as a parameter but the
whole DCB cloning process could use with a rewrite so any modifications
beyond the required minimum are wasteful.
The example in the epoll(7) manpage only sets the EPOLLIN event flag.
Although it is not explicitly stated that only EPOLLIN events arrive for
sockets that are listening, any other types of events should not be
relevant for listeners.
