If a client is executing a COM_CHANGE_USER command and the
reauthentication of the client fails, no error message would be logged
about the failure of the reauthentication process and only a routing
failure message would be logged.
The protocol could leak memory in rare cases where several commands were
queued at the same time. Readwritesplit also didn't free the memory it
acquired via qc_get_table_names.
The process of stopping a service will not prevent new connections from
being created. The documentation needs to be extended so that the meaning
of `accepted` is explicitly and clearly stated.
The configuration guide now links to the runtime configuration in the TOC
instead of the deprecated legacy configuration reloading. The new section
lists the currently supported methods for altering the configuration at
runtime.
Updated links, removed redundant chapters about cluster types and replaced
them with a link to the main tutorial, added maxctrl to the administration section.
The runtime configuration of a MaxScale can now be exported to a single
file. This allows modifications made via runtime configuration commands to
be "committed" for later use.
Updated the README to point to various documents that help set up
MaxScale. Also removed the somewhat incorrect information about the
technical implementation details.
Before the state of the backend servers is checked, MaxScale needs to be
stopped to prevent the automated failover from interfering in the start-up
process.
If a service has no active servers and users are injected, a warning would
be logged. This is a misleading warning if the service has no servers and
should only be logged if the failure to load any users is an unexpected
situation.
The log manager is the only one that uses the mlist_t versioned list. The
counter that keeps track of the version number was not modified using
atomic operations meaning that the compiler is free to optimize away parts
of the lock-free versioning mechanism that uses it.
To prevent this optimization, the variable is declared volatile. A rewrite
is direly needed but it cannot be done in 2.2.
Displaying the MaxScale version helps identify which package the
executable was bundled with. As the MaxCtrl source is a part of MaxScale,
there's no need for separate versioning.
Removed the excessive comments in favor of a simplified description. Use
stack-allocated TestConnections and simplify assertions.
The main change is the different SQL used to update the user with the old
password. Direct modification of the `mysql`.`user` database isn't very
neat but it guarantees that the value is updated.
The test should stop MaxScale at the start unless the manual debug flag is
given on the command line. This fixes the connection failure of mxs1719
but reveals a problem with the filter itself.
Due to the skewed accept distribution without SO_REUSEPORT, we use
round-robin assignment of workers for new client connections. This
provides better performance as work is more likely to be evenly
distributed across all threads.
Using a least-busy-worker algorithm would provide a more stable result but
this is not trivially simple to implement. For this reason, the
round-robin based approach was chosen for 2.2.
Parameters that accept whitespace-only values need to have their default
values quoted if they contain only whitespace characters. In 2.2 the
qlafilter is the only module that did not do this.
