WL#4403: deprecate @log and @slow_log_queries variables
Affects: Server-5.1
—
Status: Complete
"log" and "log_slow_queries" command-line options and server variables duplicate the functionality of the "general_log" and "slow_query_log" variables. They should be deprecated. A warning should be added in 5.1, removal is scheduled for 7.0 Additionally, general_log_file and slow_query_log_file only exist as server variables, not at options - one is supposed to use old --log and --log_slow_queries to set file names. It is confusing, we should create appropriate command-line options with matching names for them. Notice that general_log_file and slow_query_log_file should only set the log file name, without activating the logging (the desired behavior). To mirror these variables correctly, we must also implement "general_log" and "slow_query_log" as options. These two options will start the logging without affecting the file names.
