Changed Features

Watchdog

The systemd watchdog is now safe to use in all circumstances.

By default it is enabled with a timeout of 60 seconds.

Readwritesplit

connection_keepalive

The default value of connection_keepalive is now 300 seconds. This prevents the connections from dying due to wait_timeout with longer sessions. This is especially helpful with pooled connections that stay alive for a very long time.

MariaDBMonitor

The monitor by default assumes that hostnames used by MaxScale to connect to the backends are equal to the ones backends use to connect to each other. Specifically, for the slave connections to be properly detected the Master_Host and Master_Port fields of the output to "SHOW ALL SLAVES STATUS"-query must match server entries in the MaxScale configuration file. If the network configuration is such that this is not the case, the setting assume_unique_hostnames should be disabled.

New Features

  • MXS-1598 heartbeat replication don't support multimaster

  • MXS-2187 Transaction replay is only attempted once
  • MXS-2186 SHOW DATABASES is routed to the master
  • MXS-2184 event_number is not incremented for updates
  • MXS-2179 Watchdog notifications must be generated also when users are fetched.
  • MXS-2178 Admin operations may cause systemd watchdog to be triggered.
  • MXS-2167 Monitors should be able to use extra_port
  • MXS-2158 Node rejoin fails, if the node was never a slave (but was master before going down)
