Complete MariaDB support

[novotnyJiri]

Hello,
I am part of the Debezium team and I am writing my diploma thesis called Implementation of MariaDB connector for Debezium. Part of my thesis is also exetending mysql-binlog-connector-java library with support for all the needed MariaDB specific binary log features. Is it possible for you to have a talk with me about all the work that needs to be done, which features are already implemented and some tips and tricks about the binlog connector?

maybe @gunnarmorling can help here a bit, he's the head of debezium. MariaDB GTID support landed recently, that was the big deficiency we've had thus far. there may be a couple of event types left to fully support but i don't know.

So, to be clear, I'm up and running with mariadb in production, no major issues... sorry!

Oh ok, wonderful news because that means less work for me :). I am afraid @gunnarmorling is no longer the head of debezium but that will not be a problem. I will take care of the GTID support and any feature that we need and is not supported. Thanks alout for your response.
