The NULL values were not stored as NULL Avro values due to the fact that
the file format has no native NULL-ness for the basic types. To solve
this, all values must be stored as a union that contains the actual type
as well as the null type.
Unions were not implemented in the maxavro library but implementing means
simply recursing one level down.
If the query statement is wrongly treated as a table creation statement it
could cause a crash. To handle this, unknown SQL is now reported and the
processing is stopped early. This does not solve the root cause of the
problem but makes it possible to detect it in the future.
The admin files are now created with 640 permissions and automatically
created directories now properly set the permissions for the group as
well. All files and directories created by avrorouter and binlogrouter
also now correctly limit the read and write permissions only to the owner
and the group.
Replaced SPINLOCK with std::mutex where possible, leaving out the more
complex cases. The big offenders remaining are the binlogrouter and the
gateway.cc OpenSSL locks.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
The maxscale_is_shutting_down function is used to detect when MaxScale
should stop. This fixes a race condition in the code where the workers has
not yet been initialized but a termination signal has been received. It
also replaces the misuse of the service_should_stop variable with a proper
function.
The paths were wrong in the scripts used to run tests. The same problem
was in the CMake files that used CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR instead of
CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR.
Added missing check for BUILD_SYSTEM_TESTS in avrorouter for the
workaround to building without all dependencies present.
The offsets in the events were wrong if MaxScale was restarted in the
middle of a binlog. This was caused by the fact that the FDE event
contains information on binlog checksums which is required for a correct
interpretation of the binlog. The FDE event was only read when the binlog
was first opened when it needs to be read every time the binlog is opened.
As a JSON object can never start with the ERR prefix, it is safe to check
it for all requests. Also fixed the missing newline in the avrorouter
error message.
The custom random number generator can now be replaced with a C++11
RNG. This greatly improves the reliability and trustworthiness of it.
In addition to this, the conversion of the RNG to a thread-local object
removes the race condition that was present in the previous
implementation. It also theoretically improves performance by a tiny bit.
This is the first step in some cleanup of the Worker interface.
The execution mode must now be explicitly specified, but that is
just a temporary step. Further down the road, _posting_ will
*always* mean via the message loop while _executing_ will optionally
and by default mean direct execution if the calling thread is that
of the worker.
The signal handler no longer acquires the service list lock which removes
a number of deadlock possibilities from the shutdown process. Instead, a
global shutdown flag is set that serves the same purpose as the individual
service shutdown flags did.
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.
