The trailing comment removal pattern unnecessarily required that a leading
space is present in all trailing comments.
Also, the pattern didn't match if no line ending was included in the SQL
statement. The subject ending should be the third valid terminator in
addition to UNIX and Windows style line endings.
'mysqlmon' is still accepted but 'mariadbmon' is loaded instead.
This is done at runtime instead of e.g. by using a symbolic link,
so that a warning can be logged.
The warning is logged and the translation of the module name is
made by the code that loads the modules so that it's easy to do
the same thing for other modules as well.
In a subsequent commit the documentation is updated.
Pre-loading users for all threads at startup significantly reduces the
chance for failures caused by the lazy initialization of the user database
done by the authenticators.
If users are not loaded at startup and the connection limit for all
servers is reached, authentication in MaxScale will fail not due to too
many connections but due to the lack of authentication data. This causes
repeated reloading of users, which floods the log with messages, and
unnecessary stress on the cluster itself.
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 backend DCBs didn't have a valid service pointer whereas the client
DCBs had one. The necessity of the pointer can be questioned as a similar
pointer is located in the session.

The service for a dummy session will be NULL. If authentication fails for
a dummy session, then no service level actions should be taken.
Only the binlogrouter can trigger authentication failure with a dummy
session as it creates connections before the service itself has started.
All internal code is now inside an anonymous namespace to prevent their
use outside of the compilation unit.
Also fixed the wrong return type of ResourceWatcher::etag.
Executing the commands inside a worker thread allows further improvements
to job queuing but mainly it fixes the problem of loading users when
listeners are allocated at runtime.
When a runtime listener was being created, it was allocated in the admin
thread whereas the listeners created at startup were allocated in the
"main" thread. This caused a minor difference in how administrative
functions were handled by the REST API and MaxAdmin. The only real problem
is that listener allocation depends on being done inside a worker thread
as it lazily initializes some resources.
The memory for the rate limit struct was allocated but it was not assigned
for the service. Also corrected a false debug assertion in
service_refresh_users.
If a CREATE TABLE statement had a quoted keyword as the name of a field,
the calculated column count and actual column counts would differ.
In addition to this, oneline comments before the end of the statement
would truncate the SQL due to the fact that the whitespace was squashed
before the comment removal was done.
If the provided config path refers to a directory it can still
be opened and an attempt to read be made. However, as reading
will fail but end-of-file not be reached, we can't rely upon
'feof()' for detecting when to bail out.
As it is a user error to provide a directory as the config path,
that will be detected and deemed an error in a subsequent commit.
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.
The error message was not 100% accurate about the value. In addition to
that, neither the value itself nor the monitor or parameter names were
printed in the error message.
The state of the monitored servers is only persisted if the states of the
servers have changed. This removes the unnecessary disk IO caused by the
writing on the monitor journal.
The new `ssl_verify_peer_certificate` parameter controls whether the peer
certificate is verified. This allows self-signed certificates to be
properly used with MaxScale.
With "--daemon" or "-n" MaxScale can now be told to run in daemon
mode, that is, it forks and the parent exits. This is the default
behaviour, but a flag to this effect is needed if the default
behaviour is changed.
MaxScale now refuses to run as root. However, it is possible to
start MaxScale as root, as long as a user to run MaxScale as is
provided as a command line argument.
It is possible to run as root by invoking MaxScale as root and
by specifying the MaxScale user to be root.
Only used in conjunction with queued connections, which are not
enabled anyway. Once that comes on the table again, better to use
some standard data structures.
This commit introduces maxscale::future, maxscale::packaged_task
and maxscale::thread that are modeled after C++11 std::future,
std::packaged_task and std::thread as described here:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread
The standard classes rely upon rvalue references (and move
constructors) introduced by C++11. As the C++ compilers we must use
are pre-C++11 that feature is obviously not present. The absence of
rvalue references is circumvented by implementing regular copy
constructors and assignment operators as if the arguments were rvalue
references.
In practice the above means that when one of these objects are copied,
the state is _moved_ rendering the copied object in default initialized
state. Some care is needed to ensure that unintended copying does not
occur.
As the passive parameter is only used by the failover and the failover can
only be initiated by the monitor, there is no true need to synchronize the
reads and write of this parameter.
As all runtime changes are protected by the runtime lock, only partial
reads are of concern. For the supported platforms, this is not a practical
problem and it only confuses the reader when other variables are modified
without atomic operations.
The master failure was assumed to be the only master related event for
each monitoring loop. If the master was switched by an external actor, the
monitor tracking would be out of sync.
The helper function provides map-like access to row values. This is used
to retrieve the values for all MariaDB 10.0+ versions as there are
differences in the returned results between 10.1 and 10.2.
Using timestamps to detect whether MaxScale was active or passive can
cause problems if multiple events happen at the same time. This can be
avoided by separating events into actively observed and passively observed
events. This clarifies the logic by removing the ambiguity of timestamps.
As the monitoring threads are separate from the worker threads, it is
prudent to use atomic operations to modify and read the state of the
MaxScale. This will impose an happens-before relation between MaxScale
being set into passive mode and events being classified as being passively
observed.
