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
This parameter can be used to specify whether the service
should be running.
It has been implemented to allow installations of mysql::server to
be in passive mode for HA.
On Ubuntu, mysql should use upstart provider instead of init.d. This
change overrides the init provider until the issue with init provider
can be addressed.
