This turned out to be a fairly bad idea. It begun as a way to try
and mirror what happens in the postgresql module for consistency
but instead made things complex.
I've changed it to have the override_options in mysql::server which
leads much more naturally out of the design and shape of MySQL.
This initial round of work focuses on adding the concept of
mysql::globals to the module. This is a shared place to provide all the
data the module needs, and then clients, servers, and providers can all
rely on this information to set things up.
This is being primarily used at first to allow a default_options hash
that contains all the previous parameters and takes a overrides_options
that allows you to then further customize any of the options in my.cnf.
This provider has undergone the largest set of changes and currently
just accepts a full SQL grant string as the name and then applies it,
making things easier for DBAs and removes the awkward attempts at
modelling grants into Puppet.
This work adds max_connections_per_hour, max_queries_per_hour, and
max_updates_per_hour support to the provider and extends self.instances to add
in the new parameters when checking existing users. It also adds
self.prefetch in order to speed up Puppet runs.
Provider is also switched to using mk_resource_methods to generate
all the resource readers, and exists? and other methods now use the
property_hash where appropriate.
Tests rewritten to handle changes and extend code coverage.
Add collate as a new managable parameter, and extend self.instances to
add in all parameters when checking existing databases. It also adds
self.prefetch in order to speed up Puppet runs.

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.
This adds a parameter (default value is like old behavior) so that the
my.cnf file isn't managed (created/updated) by the mysql module at all
which is necessary for our environment. We need to set all parameters by
ourself. If we don't set a parameter then the default from the mysqld
binary should be used instead of any default parameter the mysql module
provides us.
