zalora/binlog-parser

A parser for MySQL binlog files that creates JSON messages. Useful for creating a stream of database events that can be stored and analyzed.

binlog-parser's Issues

Makefile cleanup

Using all in integration-test: all integration-test-setup in the Makefile seems unnecessary as go test already builds the binary.

Add option to run without retrieving information from the database

It would be useful (for me) if I could use the tool having just the binlogs, without the need to access the database. As noted in the documentation, the database schema might be out of date and might actually provide confusing information. Furthermore, sometimes I fetch binlogs from a remote server for local analysis and it might be not easy to recreate remote schema. While I can use a dummy MySQL instance with no information about the schema (I haven't checked if it would work though), this seems unnecessary.

I might commit my own time to implement this (sooner or later ;-) ) if the feature is deemed useful and has a chance to be merged.

Review usage of init_test.go

Having a init_test.go file in every package seems unnecessary and is most likely a leftover.

Makefile error

Hi,

can you, somehow, help me with the installation of this useful tool?
I have successfully installed GOLANG and configured path variables like the tutorial stated but running Makefile returns an error at line 9: The system cannot find the file specified.
I'm not able to solve this issue because I'm not familiar with Makefiles and I'm not sure which file is missing.

Thank you in advance!

Specify bin log position?

Hi
This is a wonderful piece of work. I wanted to know if it's possible to specify the bin log position to start from for parsing

Thank you
