It would be very handy if, when attempting to parse the mysqlbinlog to create CDC events, if a table was/is missing the .avro files, if maxscale could automatically connect to a read slave, and do a show create table to get the information to automatically generate the necessary files.

Currently, if a .avro file is missing or corrupt, maxscale will basically ignore those events until a table alter statement appears in the binlog. This is suboptimal in the sense that in the event of maxscale exiting unexpectedly, it may not resume operation in the fashion it is desired.
