Re: [MariaDB/server] Compressed binary log (#247)

 

Hi knielsen,

The new code is here:
https://github.com/vinchen/server/commits/GCSAdmin-10.2-binlog-compressed2-2

based on
https://github.com/knielsen/server/commits/GCSAdmin-10.2-binlog-compressed2-2

And added two fixed:
1.Avoid overflowing buffers in case of corrupt events
2.Check the compressed algorithm.
