- Identifying textual characters sets; converting into specific type when applying dml events
- Refactored `ColumnsList`: introducing `Column` type
- Refactored `unsigned` handling, as part of `Column`
- `Column` type supports `convertArg()`: converting value of argument according to column data type
- DB URI attempts `utf8mb4,utf8,latin1` charsets in that order (first one to be recognized wins)
- Local tests filter by pattern
- Local tests append table schema on failure
- Local tests do not have postpone flag file
- Added character set local tests: `utf8`, `utf8mb4`, `latin1`
- Rowcopy time is bounded by copy end-time
- Retries are configurable via `--default-retries` (default: `60`)
- `migrator` notes the hostname
- `applier` and `inspector` note `impliedKey` (`@@hostname` and `@@port`)
- Added lots of code comments
- Adding documentation for "triggerless design"
- Operation would terminate after events lock noticed but before applying all events: race condition where the event would be captured asynchronously. The event is now handled sequentially with the DML events, hence now safe.
- Multiple rowcopy operations would still write to `rowCopyComplete` channel. This is still the case, but now we only wait for the first and then just flush (read and discard) any others, to avoid blocking
- Events DML listener is only added after table creation: the problem was that with very busy tables, the events func buffer would fill up, and the "tables-created" event would be blocked.
- `waitForEventsUpToLock()` unifies the waiting on all variants of complete-migration
- With `--test-on-replica`, now stopping replication "nicely", using `master_pos_wait()`
- With `--test-on-replica`, not throttling on replication after replication is stopped (duh)
- More debug output
- when `--test-on-replica`, the tested replica is implicitly a control replica
- added `replication-lag-query`, an alternate query to `SHOW SLAVE STATUS` to get replication lag
- throttling takes both the above into consideration
