Description
Right now Vitess only supports
utf8*
characters sets, per https://vitess.io/docs/reference/compatibility/mysql-compatibility/#character-set-and-collationWhile schemas pass through, schema changes with non
utf8*
charsets will not work in VReplication. For this reason, we rejects changes where tables have nonutf8*
textual columns. This PR imports and modifies a online DDL/VReplication suite test, from thegh-ost
suite.Will possibly try to fix that in VReplication later on.
