Reasons:
- Riak DB development is almost halted after Basho
- riak-erlang-client is abandoned and doesn't work
correctly with OTP22
- Riak is slow in comparison to other databases
- Missing key ordering makes it impossible to implement range
queries efficiently (e.g. MAM queries)
The commit introduces the following API incompatibilities:
In ejabberd_auth.erl:
* dirty_get_registered_users/0 is renamed to get_users/0
* get_vh_registered_users/1 is renamed to get_users/1
* get_vh_registered_users/2 is renamed to get_users/2
* get_vh_registered_users_number/1 is renamed to count_users/1
* get_vh_registered_users_number/2 is renamed to count_users/2
In ejabberd_auth callbacks
* plain_password_required/0 is replaced by plain_password_required/1
where the argument is a virtual host
* store_type/0 is replaced by store_type/1 where the argument is
a virtual host
* set_password/3 is now an optional callback
* remove_user/3 callback is no longer needed
* remove_user/2 now should return `ok | {error, atom()}`
* is_user_exists/2 now must only be implemented for backends
with `external` store type
* check_password/6 is no longer needed
* check_password/4 now must only be implemented for backends
with `external` store type
* try_register/3 is now an optional callback and should return
`ok | {error, atom()}`
* dirty_get_registered_users/0 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users/1 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users/2 is renamed to get_users/2
* get_vh_registered_users_number/1 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users_number/2 is renamed to count_users/2
* get_password_s/2 is no longer needed
* get_password/2 now must only be implemented for backends with
`plain` or `scram` store type
Additionally, the commit introduces two new callbacks:
* use_cache/1 where the argument is a virtual host
* cache_nodes/1 where the argument is a virtual host
New options are also introduced: `auth_use_cache`, `auth_cache_missed`,
`auth_cache_life_time` and `auth_cache_size`.
It is now possible for client connections to login using PKIX certificates.
This is disabled by default, to enable it:
- either set 'tls_verify: true' and 'cafile: /path/to/CAfile'
in the corresponding listener's section
- or set equivalent per-vhost options 'c2s_tls_verify' and 'c2s_cafile'
