Together with the field names, now qc_get_field_info also returns field usage information, that is, in what context a field is used. This allows, for instance, the cache to take action if a a particular field is selected (SELECT a FROM ...), but not if it is used in a GROUP BY clause (...GROUP BY a). This caused a significant modifications of qc_mysqlembedded that earlier did not walk the parse-tree, but instead looped over of a list of st_select_lex instances that, the name notwithstanding, also contain information about other things but SELECTs. The former approach lost all contextual information, so it was not possible to know where a particular field was used. Now the parse tree is walked, which means that the contextual information is known, and thus the field usage can be updated.
# MaxScale by MariaDB Corporation The MariaDB Corporation MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules, a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of the various servers within the backend cluster of databases. MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to support different protocols and routing decisions. MaxScale is implemented in C and makes extensive use of the asynchronous I/O capabilities of the Linux operating system. The epoll system is used to provide the event driven framework for the input and output via sockets. The protocols are implemented as external shared object modules which can be loaded at runtime. These modules support a fixed interface, communicating the entries points via a structure consisting of a set of function pointers. This structure is called the "module object". The code that routes the queries to the database servers is also loaded as external shared objects and are referred to as routing modules. An Google Group exists for MaxScale that can be used to discuss ideas, issues and communicate with the MaxScale community.
