+  scheduler.h contains definitions required by the plugin.

+  To handle definitions of Information Schema plugins it is also required
+  to include sql_profile.h and table.h.

+  The goal is to move all dependencies from a thread pool plugin on the
+  MySQL Server into a version-handled plugin API.
