Description:
# MySQL Router <= 2.1.4 treats `connect_timeout` as second

## Routing module uses `select` with `timeout_val` argument for timeout(struct timeval).

- https://github.com/mysql/mysql-router/blob/release-2.1.4/src/routing/src/routing.cc#L174

## `timeout_val` is set tv_sec = connect_timeout

- https://github.com/mysql/mysql-router/blob/release-2.1.4/src/routing/src/routing.cc#L153-L...

# MySQL Router = 2.1.5 treats `connect_timeout` as **millisecond**

## 2.1.5 uses `connect_non_blocking_wait` new function

- https://github.com/mysql/mysql-router/blob/release-2.1.5/src/routing/src/routing.cc#L203

## `connect_non_blocking_wait` uses `poll` function and its timeout argument is `timeout_ms` (int)

- https://github.com/mysql/mysql-router/blob/release-2.1.5/src/routing/src/routing.cc#L125

## `timeout_ms` is passed `connect_timeout` without any modification

- https://github.com/mysql/mysql-router/blob/release-2.1.5/src/routing/src/routing.cc#L203

```

After that, MySQL Router 2.1.5 fails to connect destination server by timeout over the Internet.

How to repeat:
1. Add routing into /etc/mysqlrouter/mysqlrouter.conf, `destinations` is over the Internet.

```
[routing:test]
bind_port= 13306
mode= read-write
destinations= xxxx:3306
```

2. Start MySQL Router and try to connect by mysql command-line client.

```
$ sudo systemctl start mysqlrouter
$ mysql -h127.0.0.1 -P13306
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0
```

3. See /var/log/mysqlrouter/mysqlrouter.log

```
$ sudo less /var/log/mysqlrouter/mysqlrouter.log
2018-02-21 12:27:25 INFO    [7fe221c14700] [routing:test] started: listening on 127.0.0.1:13306; read-write
2018-02-21 12:27:39 WARNING [7fe213fff700] Timeout reached trying to connect to MySQL Server xxxx:3306: Connection timed out
2018-02-21 12:27:48 INFO    [7fe213fff700] [routing:test] fd=5 Pre-auth socket failure 127.0.0.1: client auth timed out
```

Suggested fix:
Get back `connect_timeout` as second value.
This means connect_non_blocking_wait function should receive 2nd argument(int timeout_ms) as second value(int timeout_sec), and pass `timeout_sec * 1000` to `poll` function.

I think this is **NOT Documentation Bug**.
This is too big imcompatibillity during 1 GA series minor upgrade.

Change synopsis, old one is "MySQL Router 2.1.5 treats connect_timeout as millisecond value"

Hi,

I agree this is a bug. Easily "workaroundable", but yes, that is not acceptable change for minor version upgrade. 

thanks for report

Posted by developer:
 
Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Router 2.1.6 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Router's connect_timeout configuration option was measured in milliseconds
instead of seconds in v2.1.5.

Thank you for the detailed bug report.
