Some of the test cases reference to binlog position and
these position numbers are written into result explicitly.
It is difficult to maintain if log event format changes.
There are a couple of cases explicit position number appears,
we handle them in different ways
A. 'CHANGE MASTER ...' with MASTER_LOG_POS or/and RELAY_LOG_POS options
Use --replace_result to mask them.
B. 'SHOW BINLOG EVENT ...'
Replaced by show_binlog_events.inc or wait_for_binlog_event.inc.
show_binlog_events.inc file's function is enhanced by given
$binlog_file and $binlog_limit.
C. 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS', 'show_slave_status.inc' and 'show_slave_status2.inc'
For the test cases just care a few items in the result of 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS',
only the items related to each test case are showed.
'show_slave_status.inc' is rebuild, only the given items in $status_items
will be showed.
'check_slave_is_running.inc' and 'check_slave_no_error.inc'
and 'check_slave_param.inc' are auxiliary files helping
to show running status and error information easily.
Problem: Many test cases don't clean up after themselves (fail
to drop tables or fail to reset variables). This implies that:
(1) check-testcase in the new mtr that currently lives in
5.1-rpl failed. (2) it may cause unexpected results in
subsequent tests.
Fix: make all tests clean up.
Also: cleaned away unnecessary output in rpl_packet.result
Also: fixed bug where rpl_log called RESET MASTER with a running
slave. This is not supposed to work.
Also: removed unnecessary code from rpl_stm_EE_err2 and made it
verify that an error occurred.
Also: removed unnecessary code from rpl_ndb_ctype_ucs2_def.
