Description:
According to http://dev.mysql.com/worklog/task/?id=3283 and https://launchpad.net/mysql-replication-listener,

A binlog API for the replication log is a feature that has been started on, but not completed.

This is simply a feature request for such an API. However, having this API in Java rather than C++ would IMO be an improvement.

How to repeat:
Hack hack

The reason I want it is to use MySQL as "source of truth" of data, and be able to propagate the data to other systems. Current workarounds for this is:

* Implement custom storage engine plugged into mysql
* Polling the database and using some magic fields to control which updates to read.
