Also, the list of release notes have been removed from the upgrading
document. The referral to the ChangeLog remains. That way, the list
of release notes need not be maintained in several places.
In some cases you might want to use a specific address/interface
when connecting to a server instead of the default one. With the
global parameter 'local_address' it can now be specified which
address to use.
The `purge` command can be used to reset the conversion
process. Currently, executing the `purge` module command and restarting
MaxScale is the only correct way to reset the conversion process.
The new parameter allows ignoring of master servers that are external to
the monitor configuration. This allows sub-trees of the actual replication
tree to be used as fully fledged replication trees.
Break lines at 80 characters. Add a Table of Contents and reorder sections
to have the actual tutorial part first.
Things that still need doing:
* Move limitations and other documentation to the actual router
documentation
* Review and simplify examples
Updated all examples to use parameters instead of router_options. Added a
more clear note about router_options being deprecated. Removed unnecessary
parameters from all examples.
The total timeout for the retrying of interrupted queries can now be
configured with the `query_retry_timeout` parameter. It controls the total
timeout in seconds that the query can take.
The actual connection, read and write timeouts of the connector aren't a
good configuration value to use for abstracted queries as the time that it
takes to execute a query can be composed of both connections, reads and
writes. This is caused by the usage of MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT that hides the
fact that the connector reconnects to the server when a query is
attempted.
The new `query_retries` parameter controls how many times an interrupted
query is retried. This retrying of interrupted queries will reduce the
rate of false positives that MaxScale monitors detect.
