Description
This PR adds a new flag called "--create-table", an alternative to the "--alter" flag. With "--create-table" you can redefine the table that you want gh-ost to migrate to, effectively supporting what would have required multiple ALTERs.
For example, If you need to restructure the secondary indexes on a MySQL table, you would need to do the following:
Assuming a and b are already columns in the table...
x
INT, ADD COLUMNy
VARCHAR(24),ADD INDEX
a_x_idx
(a
,x
),ADD INDEX
y_idx
(y),DROP INDEX
a_b_idx
Now you can simply provide a "--create-table" flag like so
The PR is a bit large as it includes some refactors to maintain code cleanliness. I can separate out some of the refactors into separate PRs for ease of review
