Binlog server option ‘encryption_key_file=’ can now use the same key
file the MariaDB 10.1 server might have in my.cnf:
‘file_key_management_filename=‘
Note: the file content must be in clear, no key encryption.
The backend MySQL protocol module now supports a new routing capability
which allows result sets to be gathered into one buffer before they are
routed onward. This should not be used by modules that expect large
result sets as the result set is buffered in memory.
Adding a limit on how large of a result set could be buffered would allow
relatively safe use of this routing capability without compromising the
stability of the system.
Storing the large events in memory allows checksum calculations to be done
in one step. This also makes the encryption of events easier as they
require the complete event in memory.
The backend protocol module can be requested to provide complete and
contiguous packets to the router module. This removes the need to process
the packets in binlogrouter.
