MaxScale has a lot of features that create differentiation and competitive advantages for SkySQL. This is request is to simply change some of the defaults.

Master reconnection
Allows MaxScale to migrate connections from the old primary to the new primary so applications don't have to open new ones.

Adapting routing
Allows MaxScale to route queries based on individual instance response times.

Delayed retry
Allows MaxScale to retry reads if they fail due to a connection error (e.g., the replica just failed).
We may want to set the read timeout to a smaller value (10s by default)

Transaction replay
Allows MaxScale to replay transactions on the new primary if the original fails.

Causal reads
Allows MaxScale to tell a replica to catch up to the client before executing the query.
We may want to set the read timeout to a smaller value (10s by default)
