Problem - The default port number shown in SHOW SLAVE HOSTS is always 3306
though the slave is actually listening on a different port number.
This is a problem as the user can not be sure whether this port
value can be trusted and so client trying to read replication
topology can get confused.
Fix - 3306 ceases to be the default value of report-port. Moreover report-port
does not have a static default any longer.
Instead we initialize report-port to 0 as the new default value and change
it based on two checks :
1) If report_port is not set, the slave reports the port number its listening
on. (i.e. if report-port is not set we get the actual value of the slave's
port number).
2) If report-port is set, we show the value report-port is set to, as the slave's
port number.
mysql-test/include/show_slave_hosts.inc:
A .inc file is added to use show slave hosts in the new test added.
mysql-test/r/mysqld--help-notwin.result:
Updated the result file to show the default value passed for report-port.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_report_port.result:
The result file for the new test that is added.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_show_slave_hosts.result:
Updated the result file to show the default value passed for report-port.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_report_port-slave.opt:
Option file for the new test added.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_report_port.test:
Added a test to check the correct functionality of report-port.
We check this by running the replication twice.
In the first run we do not set the value of report-port through the opt file
and get the actual port number of the slave's port.
We then restart the server with report-port set to some value (in this case 9000)
and check the value reported for the slave's port number.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/report_port_basic.test:
Update the test file to show the value for report-port. It is replaced with
SLAVE_PORT as the actual value of the report-port will change with each run.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Changed the value reported by report port :
1. If the value for report-port is not set we assign report-port to be the
actual port number of the slave (mysqld_port).
2. If report-port is set we get the value set for the report-port.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
Passed 0 as the default value of the report-port.
IN WAIT_SHOW_CONDITION)
There was a typo in the name of one of the parameters to the
include file wait_show_condition. The parameter name was being
set to "connection" instead of "condition".
We fix this typo, improve one instruction in the test case and
deploy parameter checks inside wait_show_condition.inc.
Before the patch, slaves only appear in the output of SHOW SLAVE HOSTS
when report-host option is set. If an expected slave does not appear in
the list, nobody knows whether the slave does not connect or has started
without the "report-host" option. The output also contains a strange
field "Rpl_recovery_rank" which has never been implemented and the manual
of MySQL5.4 declares that the field has been removed from MySQL5.4.
This patch is done with these,
According to the manual of MySQL5.4, "Rpl_recovery_rank" is removed.
Slaves will register themselves to master no matter if report_host option is set
or not. When slaves are registering themselves, their Server_ids, report_host
and other information are together sent to master. Sever_ids are never null
and is unique in one replication group. Slaves always can be identified with
different Server_ids no matter if report_host exists.
