Syntax:
MASTER_POS_WAIT(log_name,log_pos[,timeout][,channel])

This function is useful for control of source/replica synchronization.
It blocks until the replica has read and applied all updates up to the
specified position in the source's binary log. The return value is the
number of log events the replica had to wait for to advance to the
specified position. The function returns NULL if the replication SQL
thread is not started, the replica's source information is not
initialized, the arguments are incorrect, or an error occurs. It
returns -1 if the timeout has been exceeded. If the replication SQL
thread stops while MASTER_POS_WAIT() is waiting, the function returns
NULL. If the replica is past the specified position, the function
returns immediately.

On a multithreaded replica, the function waits until expiry of the
limit set by the slave_checkpoint_group or slave_checkpoint_period
system variable, when the checkpoint operation is called to update the
status of the replica. Depending on the setting for the system
variables, the function might therefore return some time after the
specified position was reached.

If binary log transaction compression is in use and the transaction
payload at the specified position is compressed (as a
Transaction_payload_event), the function waits until the whole
transaction has been read and applied, and the positions have updated.

If a timeout value is specified, MASTER_POS_WAIT() stops waiting when
timeout seconds have elapsed. timeout must be greater than 0; a zero or
negative timeout means no timeout.

The optional channel value enables you to name which replication
channel the function applies to. See
