    BUG#16460123- NOTE ABOUT "MASTER.INFO REPOSITORY" ON CHANGE MASTER TO IS MISLEADING · 2cc1e9d7

    BUG#16461303- WARNING ISSUED ABOUT MASTER.INFO WHEN USING MASTER-INFO-REPOSITORY=TABLE
    
    Problem:
    When executing CHANGE MASTER TO on MySQL 5.6 with either
    MASTER_USER or MASTER_PASSWORD options, MySQL issues a 
    warning:
    Level: Note
    Code: 1760
    Message: Storing MySQL user name or password information
    in the master.info repository is not secure and is 
    therefore not recommended. Please see the MySQL Manual for
    more about this issue and possible alternatives.
    
    This appears to suggest that "master.info" is insecure,
    which may lead the reader to believe that they should use
    master-info-repository=table instead of 
    master-info-repository=file. However, this warning is
    issued when using both types of master info repository.
    
    Also, the suggestion to see the MySQL Manual is not
    pointing to any specific section in the Manual for user's
    convenience.
    
    Fix:
    This Note is changed to specify that master info repository
    is insecure to store USERNAME or PASSWORD and thence points
    to the START SLAVE section of MYSQL Manual for reference.
