If the password field in mysql.user is empty, it is possible that the
actual password is stored in the authentication_string field. Most of the
time this happens due to MDEV-16774 which causes the password to be stored
in the authentication_string field.
Also added a test case that verifies the problem and that it is fixed by
this commit.
The intention was to send the lowest backend version string automatically
to the client instead of the default handshake version. This did not work
as the service version string was used instead of the server version.
The table creation was not detected as the function used to extract the
table name did not return the fully qualified names. Even if it did return
a fully qualified name, it wouldn't have been correctly processed.
The test did not use the wait_for_monitor function to sync with the
monitor. This function speeds up the testing greatly by removing
unnecessary sleeps from it.
Also reduced the amount of data inserted into the cluster. There's no real
need to test with large amounts of data as it is only a functional test.
The test fails since slaves are constantly going out-of-sync and cannot rejoin
the cluster. After three failovers, the cluster has three standalone server and
the monitor gets confused which server is the master. For now, limit the test to
two failovers.
The test expects the monitor to respond within 5 seconds. This is not
guaranteed to happen so waiting for a monitor interval instead of a
hard-coded duration provides for a more stable test.
If the test would otherwise succeed but a coredump is found when the logs
are copied in the destructor, the test would pass. To prevent this, the
destructor should always exit with a non-zero status when it detects an
error.
Streamlined the test to perform as much testing as fast as possible. The
gradual ramp up did not provide any concrete benefits compared to testing
everything at once.
Replaced structures with C++11 alternatives where possible and removed
unused, redundant or dead code.
