Re: [Maria-developers] MySQL Bug 59449 - Accepted by MariaDB?

Cool, thank you! As I'm not very familiar with the working process between MariaDB and MySQL upstream, do you think this patch will go back upstream? My intention in my original work on it was to get a fix into all distros that track MySQL. Thanks again!

By this I mean that the client library handles compression and decompression so that the client code does not have to deal with it. The benefit from this is reduced load. There will be less network traffic between client/server and master/slave. This uses less space in the binlog, relay log, innodb transaction log and database files. The alternative is to use compression between client/server and master/slave but that doesn't help with the size of the binlog file nor with the innodb datafiles or log file. We have too many cases where huge text/blob values store uncompressed JSON and the bloat from that hurts performance.

Looking at that bug report it looks like I am not the only one who wishes to use DATETIME columns and have a way of setting their default value to the time when the row was created. Also TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIME can occur only once in a table. It should be possible to have several "DATETIME DEFAULT NOW()" columns (as this is useful for having automatically initialized created_time and modified_time columns for a row, for example). Looks like MariaDB might gain some supporters by implementing this much-wanted feature. Currently the only decent work-around is to create a trigger which populates DATETIME columns before insert.

New syntax is > KILL [HARD|SOFT] [CONNECTION|QUERY] [ID | USER user_name] > - If USER is given, all threads for that user is signaled > - If SOFT is used then the KILL will not be sent to the handler. Hm. So, this is the definition? "not sent to the handler"? I liked the older version of it "not interrupt an operation that leaves the table corrupted or unusable". This definition is easier to understand for the user, who does not necessarily know or care how every particular statement is split between the server and the engine (especially, as this is different for different engines). So, the point is - no matter how this SOFT is internally implemented (by not sending to the handler or whatever), what is the official definition of this feature? What should the manual say? Currently is says "will not send the signal to storage engines" which - see above - is suboptimal, in my opinion. > This can be used to not interrupt critical things in the handler > like 'REPAIR'. > > Internally added more kill signals.

You lock thd->LOCK_thd_data for many threads. This defines a specific locking order. Which sounds quite fragile - I see no guarantee that this order cannot be violated by another thread. It can be even violated by some other feature that we'll implement in the future - and we won't notice it, even your deadlock detector won't catch it, because you create the dependency only during KILL USER, and only for specific THD's. So, if we'll ever have this locking order violated, it will show up as very random lockups in the undefined future :( I would suggest to rewrite this code (if possible) to avoid locking all thd->LOCK_thd_data's at once.

If you want unsigned int, you just use 'long' (Most of our variables are 'long' anyway; We have only a handful of int variables and the range of MAX_INT is good enough for these). When we ever need unsigned int, we will add a SHOW_UINT. I wanted to keep the patch minimal and as no-intrusive as possible and thats why I only fixed SHOW_INT and not SHOW_LONG and SHOW_LONGLONG. It's actually a bug that SHOW_INT didn't take negative numbers before; It's supposed to work the same way as GET_INT works in my_getopt.c, which it didn't do. >> === modified file 'sql/sql_acl.cc' >> - /* Don't allow the user to connect if he has done too many queries */ >> - if ((acl_user->user_resource.questions || acl_user->user_resource.updates || >> - acl_user->user_resource.conn_per_hour || >> - acl_user->user_resource.user_conn || max_user_connections) && >> - get_or_create_user_conn(thd, >> - (opt_old_style_user_limits ? sctx->user : sctx->priv_user), >> - (opt_old_style_user_limits ? sctx->host_or_ip : sctx->priv_host), >> - &acl_user->user_resource)) >> + /* >> + Don't allow the user to connect if he has done too many queries >> + We always have to allocated this as someone may change >> + max_user_connections any time.

I think it's better to not regard any value as special. It's easier to document it the current way; Doing it your way would make it hard to document and understand and that usually means it's a bad idea. (For example, what happens if you set max_user_connections=-1 and then later change it to 1; What limits apply to the root user that is now logged in twice). If you want to constrain the root user, you can do that with GRANT root ... max_user_connections=# Regards, Monty

[Maria-developers] SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE question on accept() call
by Steve Ellcey 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Whild building mariadb on HP-UX, I ran into a problem with a call to accept(). The mariadb configure script uses MYSQL_TYPE_ACCEPT to determine if the third argument to accept should be type socklen_t or type int, and sets SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE accordingly, but in socket_accept (plugin/handler_socket/libhsclient/socket.cpp), the third argument to the accept call (addrlen_r) is hardcoded to be type socklen_t instead of using SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE. I think that the addrlen_r argument to socket_accept should be type SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE instead of socklent_t. I think this also means that the addrlen field in the socket_args structure (plugin/handler_socket/libhsclient/socket.hpp) should be type SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE instead of socklen_t. Does that sound right?

I would like to see the IF (NOT) EXISTS clauses added to the RENAME command and it would really be nice if such a clause could be added to the various operations of the ALTER TABLE command. For example: RENAME TABLE IF EXISTS WrongName TO RightName; -- when placed in an update script, it will rename the table if it still has the wrong name, but it will not fail if it already has the right name.

[Maria-developers] MariaDB 5.2.9
by Daniel Bartholomew 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

All, Monty asked me to prep the MariaDB 5.2.9 release. He said to use the build of revision 3033 for the release: http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/grid?branch=5.2&category=package http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/5.2/revision/3033 ...and I've uploaded the files from that build to the primary mirror. They should be mirrored worldwide by tomorrow. But before I can finish the release and announce it I need a couple of things: First, I need one of the developers to tag the release in the source tree: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/5.2/changes Second, I need to know if there is anything that I should be sure to mention in the release notes. One thing I can think of which hasn't been mentioned in the past few release notes is which version of MySQL that this version of MariaDB has merged in. The current versions of other things, like PBXT and XtraDB would also be helpful. Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org
