The readwritesplit now sends COM_PING queries to backend servers that have
been idle for too long. The option is configured with the
`connection_keepalive` parameter.
The libaio is not required by MaxScale so the check for it is no longer
needed.
Updated documentation to match the current requirements to build MaxScale.
The connector plugin directory can now be controlled with the
`connector_plugindir` argument and configuration option. This should allow
the connector to use the system plugins if the versions are binary
compatible.
Replaced calls to mysql_options to mysql_optionsv as the former is
deprecated in Connector-C 3.0 and the latter is supported in Connector-C
2.3.
Change to modutil_extract_SQL(), add pcre2_data to filter session.
The pattern is now jit-compiled for maximum speed. Move general
pcre2 error printing to a function and macro. Add instance-level
statistics so the filter always prints diagnostic info. Add a mention
of PCRE2 to release notes.
The Avro C API fails to write bytes of size zero. A workaround is to write
a single zero byte for each NULL field of type bytes.
Also added an option to configure the Avro block size in case very large
records are written.
The resultset of SELECTs that use functions whose result will
always vary or whose result depend upon the user executing the
query should not be cached. The list of functions is the same
as that specified for the query cache of MariaDB:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/query-cache/
If user or system variables are used in a SELECT statement, then
the result will not be cached. That ensures that the wrong result
will not be returned.
If all but one server in a cluster fail and `failover` is enabled for
mysqlmon, the last server would be used as if it were a master. With this
change, the restrictions on failover also require that the last server is
not configured as a slave.
This change will prevent unintended failovers from happening when network
connectivity is bad. It also allows external actors to clear the slave
configuration from the last remaining server to signal MaxScale that the
server can be used as a master.
As before, the cache will be used if there is no ongoing transaction
(includes autocommit being on), or if there is an explicitly read-
only transaction.
In addition, the cache will be used and populated during any other
transaction as long as only pure read statements are executed. After
first non-read statement, the use of the cache is disabled.
