[Maria-developers] Open Questions in the knowledgebase
by Ian Gilfillan 31 May '13

31 May '13

I've been cleaning up the questions on the knowledgebase, but there are still a few open ones that need a response. If anyone can help, please pay a visit. Here are the ones still needing feedback: Multiple error logs: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/multiple-err-logs/ Query optimizer: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/does-the-query-optimize-a-low-cardinality-index-… Strange SSL messages: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/strange-ssl-messages-in-error-log/ Multi-source replication and time zones: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/time-zones-multi-source-replication/ And of course, the old faithful, when will it be released (10.x as stable) - https://kb.askmonty.org/en/release-date-for-10x-stable-version/ Also, a comment asking for specifics on JSON implementation going forward: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/column_json/ thanks, ian

[Maria-developers] GSoC 2013 - Interested Student - Roles Project
by Vicentiu Ciorbaru 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hello, My name is Vicențiu Ciorbaru. I am 3'rd year undergraduate student at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania and I am very interested in contributing to MariaDB as part of Google Summer of Code. I have not used MariaDB previously but I have taken it for a spin just now. I have participated in GSoC once before and would like to do so again. I have contributed to other open source organisations (Mozilla, Samba, ROSEdu) and I submit patches when time permits. The project that interests me the most is MDEV-4397: Roles. I want to ask you what would be a good place to start in the codebase to help me get an idea what I need to do for this project? Looking forward to hearing from you, Vicențiu

Can you elaborate exactly what semantics you have in mind for this new option? And why a new option is needed/how it differs from the already existing read-only and sql-log-bin options? It sounds to me what you want is simply to be able to start the server with --sql-log-bin=0 and still have the slave sql thread log its events to the binlog (if --log-slave-updates=1)? I would expect that to work already, but maybe there is a bug (that we could fix), or maybe you had something else in mind? - Kristian.

[Maria-developers] Query cache information plugin - MDEV-4516
by Roberto Spadim 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hi guys i'm reading query cache code, and i have some doubts... mariadb-10.0.1 source: 1)PROTOCOL_LOCAL: at line: 1412 (Query_cache::store_query) we have this comment: /* PROTOCOL_LOCAL results are not cached. */ what's PROTOCOL_LOCAL ? it's the unix socket? windows pipe? embedded? memcache? mysql? another thing like this? or it's the internal mariadb source running queries? 2)the query_size=0 (MDEV-4516) i was reading at line 1680 if (is_disabled() || thd->locked_tables_mode || thd->variables.query_cache_type == 0) goto err; and line : 1694 DBUG_ASSERT(query_cache_size != 0); // otherwise cache would be disabled why it's isn't used in query_cache_information plugin? *check that in line 1680 it test the "query_cache_type" too, * *in MDEV-4516 report about size=0 we didn't tested this case!!!* 3) i was at line 1886: DBUG_PRINT("qcache", ("\ long %d, 4.1: %d, bin_proto: %d, more results %d, pkt_nr: %d, \ CS client: %u, CS result: %u, CS conn: %u, limit: %lu, TZ: 0x%lx, \ sql mode: 0x%llx, sort len: %lu, conncat len: %lu, div_precision: %lu, \ def_week_frmt: %lu, in_trans: %d, autocommit: %d", is this the "primary key" of the query cache!?!?!?!?!?!?! could we use a sha1 or another "primary key" method (index [] of the query in cache + '';'+ 5 bytes of a hash key to compare if the index still with the same query) to easly show query entry "number", and allow a "delete from query_cache_information where key=xxx" function? at line 1938 we have this maybe the query position on cache ("primary key of query cache")?: DBUG_PRINT("qcache", ("Query have result 0x%lx", (ulong) query)); 4) there's some more ideas about query cache information plugin at MDEV-4571, if anyone could read it =) well that's all =] -- Roberto Spadim

[Maria-developers] GTID replication and relay_log.info
by Pavel Ivanov 27 May '13

27 May '13

Kristian, There's a well-known problem in MySQL that relay_log.info is not always in sync with the database state, and killing and restarting server at an unfortunate time will cause it to re-execute last statement and potentially break replication. Did you fix this situation with GTIDs and rpl_slave_state table? It looks like with GTIDs it's really easy to solve the problem -- rpl_slave_state has GTID of the last executed transaction, so on restart one needs just to ignore all relay logs and re-connect to master with the last GTID. Did you do that? If not are you planning to do that? Thank you, Pavel

[Maria-developers] MariaDB 5.5 EOL plans
by Honza Horak 25 May '13

25 May '13

Hi guys, I'm not able to find any info about life cycle of MariaDB 5.5 or even other versions. Particularly if the MariaDB 5.5 life cycle will somehow follow the MySQL's 5.5 life cycle or if there is some another vision/rough plans when supporting of 5.5 will end? Cheers, Honza

[Maria-developers] query cache restrictions
by Roberto Spadim 24 May '13

24 May '13

hi guys, why we can't cache "union" queries with query cache? http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/07/27/mysql-query-cache/ *Caching full queries only *– Meaning it does not work for subselects, inline views, parts of the UNION. This is also common missunderstanding. -- Roberto Spadim
