Allocating the session before a DCB guarantees that at no point will a DCB
have a null session. This further clarifies the concept of the session and
also allows the listener reference to be moved there.
Ideally, the session itself would allocate and assign the client DCB but
since the Listener is the only one who does it, it's acceptable for now.
By storing the reference in the DCB, the two-way dependency between the
listeners and services is severed. Now the services have no direct link to
listeners and after the destruction of a listener it will be freed once
all connections through it have closed.
Due to the fact that a listener itself has a DCB that must point to a
valid listener, a self-reference is stored in the listener DCB. This is
extremely confusing and is only here to keep the code functional until the
DCB part of the listener can be factored out.
The class is still mostly the same as the old C version but it now uses
std::string instead of char pointers. Changed configuration default values
so that the parameters passed to the listener allocation are always valid.
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.
Make all modules lowercase and make module loading case
insensitive. Further, make command invocation case insensitive,
as far as the module name is conserned.
The type of the user being created is defined at creation time. This
allows the creation of basic users.
Although the users can be created internally, they cannot yet be created
via maxadmin or the REST API.
The refactored interface is now in use. The only module that used it
directly was the CDC protocol module. This should probably be changed so
that it uses the adminusers interface instead of the users interface
directly.
The module commands can now produce JSON formatted output which is passed
to the caller. The output should conform to the JSON API as closely as
possible.
Currently, the REST API wraps all JSON produced by module commands inside
a meta-object of the following type:
{
"meta": <output of module command>
}
This allows the output to be JSON API conformant without modifying the
modules and allows incremental updates to code.
The module command self links now point to an endpoint that executes the
module command. Depending on the type of the module command, either a GET
or a POST request must be made.
