Some MySQL options need to be passed several times. For example :
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_replicate-do-db
This is currently impossible with the override_options. This patch allows to
pass array as value. Example :
override_options => {
'client' => {
'password' => 'xxx',
},
'mysqld' => {
'bind_address' => '0.0.0.0',
'replicate-do-db' => ['base1', 'base2', 'base3'],
},
}
Which will be evaluated into :
[client]
password = xxx
[mysqld]
bind_address = 0.0.0.0
replicate-do-db = base1
replicate-do-db = base2
replicate-do-db = base3
The current MySQL module is hard to modify, test, and drop in
replacement components to. This work starts out by refactoring
the bindings support in MySQL to a completely seperate bindings
class in order to reduce the amount of parameters in the main
class for a feature that is infrequently used.
In addition to this start the movement of client configuration
and packages to the mysql::client::* namespace.
