The hard limit of 10 seconds is too strict when taking into account the
fact that infinite refreshes was possible before the bug was fixed. This
also makes testing a lot easier where rapid reloads are necessary.
In MaxScale, a "deprecated" parameter is not in use and can be ignored.
Leaving the parameters out of serialized configuration files avoids warning
messages.
Changed getter function return values to std::string, converted
MXS_CONFIG_PARAMETER::set_from_list to take std::strings instead of const
char pointers.
SSLContext is now used everywhere except the binlogrouter which still
allocates the contexts itself. Fixing the binlogrouter's misuse of
internal structures is a rather large undertaking and for this reason the
SSLContext will be taken into use there in a separate commit.
The Listener::create method now takes a set of configuration parameters
from which it constructs a listener. This removes the duplicated code and
makes the behavior of listener creation similar to other objects in
MaxScale. It also allows the configuration parameters to be stored in the
listener object itself.
The functions that searched for listeners compared both sockets and
addresses in the same function. This made its use error prone and caused
false positives in some cases.
Duration values converted to JSON are now again returned as integers. This
keeps the REST API backwards compatible until suffixed durations are no
longer supported at which point all duration values can be represented in
milliseconds.
Currently it's too laborious to use duration suffixes when saving
generated configs and also to handle suffixes when changes are made
dynamically using maxctrl.
It will be trivial to do that when the new configuration mechanism
has been taken into use everywhere. That will not happen before
MaxScale 2.5.
So, in MaxScale 2.4 duration suffixes will be accepted in manually
created configuration files, but no warning will be logged if a
suffix is not used.
It's now possible to specify in the config parameter declaration
that the smallest allowed unit is seconds. For parameters whose
granularity is seconds, allowing to specify a duration in
milliseconds would open up a possibility for hard to detect errors.
Now the desired type must be specified when getting a duration.
The type also dictates how durations without suffixes should be
interpreted.
That removes the need for remembering that to convert a returned
millisecond duration to a second duration.
