[Maria-developers] Replicating same server_id problem
by Pavel Ivanov 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Kristian, Currently MariaDB (as well as MySQL of all previous versions) has a very big problem related to replicating same server_id. There is --replicate-same-server-id flag which as I understand (when set to 0) controls two things: 1) It doesn't allow slave to connect to a master with the same server_id. 2) Slave ignores all binlog events in the replication stream that have the same server_id as slave. And this flag cannot be set to 1 when --log-slave-updates is used. And that is a big problem. Consider the following scenario: let's say we have two servers S1 (master) and S2 (slave). Let's say at some moment in time they are completely in sync and you bring down S2 to take cold backup (you can even include binlogs in it). Then you bring it back up, S1 is still master. Now you execute some transactions, then you do a failover, make S2 master and execute some more transactions. Then you bring down S1, restore it from the backup taken earlier and connect to replicate from S2 again. At this point S1 will have to reply some transaction that have the same server_id as S1 has, but S1 doesn't have those transactions yet, so it shouldn't skip them, but it will. What do you think about how this should be fixed? As I understand you explicitly wanted to support replication cycles, so you still want the skipping of transactions with the same server_id to exist. But the situation above is a valid production use case. Maybe in GTID world it can be solved better? E.g. if transaction has the same server_id, but the GTID wasn't applied yet then it shouldn't be skipped? Thank you, Pavel

[Maria-developers] Galera and aria
by Roberto Spadim 01 Oct '13

Hi again guys! =) I have a doubt, i was using a diff -u galera-5.33a mariadb-5.33a | grep -i "myisam" and found some lines... well could we add the aria storage to 'work' like myisam with galera cluster? i don't know if it's the right way (changing "== MYISAM_ENGINE" to something like (== myisam_engine OR == maria_engine)) if yes... i could make this patch and send? should i create a mdev to this task (allow aria engine with galera cluster)? today it's not a trasational engine, but it's better than myisam with the crash safe feature that's all :) thanks guys -- Roberto Spadim
