It is fully read-write scalable, comes with synchronous replication, allows multi-master topologies, and guarantees no lag or lost transactions. Some of its features & benefits are listed below. Features * Synchronous replication * Active-active multi-master topology * Read and write to any cluster node * Automatic membership control, with failed nodes dropped from the cluster * Automatic node joining * True row-level parallel replication * Direct client connections, native MariaDB/MySQL look & feel Benefits The above features yield several benefits for a database clustering solution, including: * No slave lag * No lost transactions * Both read and write scalability * Smaller client latencies Technology MariaDB Galera Cluster uses the Galera Library for the replication implementation. http://codership.com/products/galera_replication To interface with Galera replication, we have enhanced MariaDB to support the replication API definition in the Write Set REPlication (https://launchpad.net/wsrep) project. The implementation of the replication API in MariaDB happens in the open source MySQL-wsrep project. http://www.codership.com/products/mysql-write-set-replication-project - - Operations Support - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Once you run MariaDB Galera Cluster in production you want to make sure there is a helping hand available whenever needed.

MariaDB 10.0.1-alpha now available
by MariaDB Announce List 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

The MariaDB project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of MariaDB 10.0.1. This is an alpha release. MariaDB 10.0 is the development version of MariaDB. It is built on the MariaDB 5.5 series with backported features from MySQL 5.6 and entirely new features not found anywhere else. This is the second 10.0-based release, and we are releasing it now to get it into the hands of any who might want to test it. Not all features planned for the MariaDB 10.0 series are included in this release. Additional features will be pushed in future releases. See the release notes and changelog for details on what is new in this release. Do not use alpha releases on production systems. - - MariaDB 10.0 Links - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Release Notes: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-1001-release-notes Changelog: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-1001-changelog Downloads: http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.0.1 APT and YUM Repository Configuration Generator: http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/ Overview of MariaDB 10.0: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/what-is-mariadb-100 - - New Packages - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MariaDB 10.0.1 includes packages for Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" and Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal".

Doing this is great for those few who are interested in old releases, but the disk space required to host all of our old releases is over 130 Gigabytes at present and grows by several gigabytes with each new release. This is too much for some of our mirrors to handle. So, starting with this round of releases our primary mirror will only host the most recent few releases in each series (5.5, 10.0, 5.3, and so on). Mirrors are, of course, free to keep archiving every release, but the primary mirror that they pull from will not. Old releases do have value, so for those that are interested in old releases, we are setting up a simple, no frills, archive server which will host them. Once the server is up and running, links to archived releases on https://downloads.mariadb.org will point at the archive server. During the transition period, links to some old releases may disappear for a short time, but don't worry, they haven't been deleted, they're just being moved! If you have hundreds of spare gigabytes on a fast connection and would also like to host the complete MariaDB archive, contact us at mirror at mariadb.org and we'll include a link your mirror from our archive server.

Like all Open Source projects, MariaDB thrives because of the community around it. We've been asked on many occasions "What can I do to help?" and we direct people to our "Contributing" page in the MariaDB Knowledgebase as a good starting point: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/contributing The above page lists various ways to contribute to MariaDB including obvious things like helping with development, reporting bugs, creating test cases, helping with documentation and translation, and so on. For those who want to support the project but don't have software development or other technical skills to offer, we have a donations page: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/donations This page details how you can donate things like CPU time to run a buildslave, among other things. It also, by request, includes a PayPal donate button for those who prefer to support MariaDB that way. The PayPal button is great, but we thought it would be nice for people who donate to get something physical in return. Inspired by the EFF, NPR, PBS, and other non-profit entities, we thought it would be neat to create a donations page that offered an exclusive t-shirt or other item in return for a donation. One of the quickest ways to do this is through CafePress, so that's what we've done: http://www.cafepress.com/mariadb Please check it out and let us know what you think!* All proceeds go directly to support MariaDB development, so don't think of it as purchasing a t-shirt, think of it as donating to support a worthy project and awesome product... and you get a t-shirt as a nice bonus!
