Relaced router_options with configuration parameters in the createInstance
router entry point. The same needs to be done for the filter API as barely
any filters use the feature.
Some routers (binlogrouter) still support router_options but using it is
deprecated. This had to be done as their use wasn't deprecated in 2.2.
The number of arguments to createListener was incremented but the maximum
count was not. Also fixed the parameter types for createListener and
alterServer.
The server runtime alteration was broken by commit
c850336199c3c19508a3d280fb7000291d66b80c when it increased the maximum
argument count of the `alter server` command to 14.
Servers in MaxScale can encrypt the connections without client keys and
certificates. As keys and certificates are no longer required, the CA
certificate must always be initialized.
When a listener is created at runtime or SSL is being enabled for an
already created listener, the ssl_verify_peer_certificate parameter can
now be defined.
Worker is now the base class of all workers. It has a message
queue and can be run in a thread of its own, or in the calling
thread. Worker can not be used as such, but a concrete worker
class must be derived from it. Currently there is only one
concrete class RoutingWorker.
There is some overlapping in functionality between Worker and
RoutingWorker, as there is e.g. a need for broadcasting a
message to all routing workers, but not to other workers.
Currently other workers can not be created as the array for
holding the pointers to the workers is exactly as large as
there will be RoutingWorkers. That will be changed so that
the maximum number of threads is hardwired to some ridiculous
value such as 128. That's the first step in the path towards
a situation where the number of worker threads can be changed
at runtime.
Since a shutdown message will now be sent via the regular epoll route,
there is no need to regularily wake up from epoll in order to check
whether shutdown has been initiated, but we can simply wait in epoll_wait
until told to wake up.
As the object name formatting is automated, so should the formatting of
object names in arguments. This also makes 2.2 backwards compatible with
2.1 commands.
The internal header directory conflicted with in-source builds causing a
build failure. This is fixed by renaming the internal header directory to
something other than maxscale.
The renaming pointed out a few problems in a couple of source files that
appeared to include internal headers when the headers were in fact public
headers.
Fixed maxctrl in-source builds by making the copying of the sources
optional.
If a module command returns a json object, it will always be
returned to the caller, irrespective of whether the command
itself succeeded or not.
Otherwise, if the command failed and if the module command has
set an error message, that error message will be returned as a
json object containing the error message.

Since the module command interface was expanded to include a JSON output
parameter, there is no longer a need for an output DCB. As the JSON can be
printed by both maxadmin and the REST API, this allows the removal of
explicit output formatting in module commands.
The failover command is simulated by executing a call to /usr/bin/echo
with all possible monitor parameters. This allows testing of the failover
mechanism without actually using the failover command.
The `script_timeout` and `journal_max_age` parameters weren't handled in
the monitor alteration code.
Also added missing documentation to maxadmin help output for
`alter monitor`.
The `add user` and `enable account` commands create fully privileged
administrative users like they did in 2.1. This makes the addition of
read-only users backwards compatible.
Updated and expanded the documentation on administrative interface
users. Added entries into the release notes as well as the upgrading
document about relevant changes between 2.1 and 2.2.
Removing the last admin account is now forbidden. This should prevent most
cases where users could lock themselves out of the administrative
interface.
This change does allow a non-root network user to be the last admin
account. In practice this does not prevent the root user from gaining
access to maxadmin. Access can be gained by removing the users file and
restarting MaxScale or by editing the users file by hand.
