So basically my question is: if I prepare a patch that will restore the original behavior of semi-sync replication (and remove the tests added for Bug#45672) will that be acceptable for MariaDB?
I don't have anything against it, as I said I do not have much opinion on semi-sync one way or the other.
But I would like to hear at least one other opinion (Serg maybe?)
I don't have it. I think semi-sync is a pretty fragile hack that simply cannot work correctly in the general case - at best it can work for someone in special use cases. Thus I don't care much what the subset of these cases is, and I don't have anything against your proposed change.
Do you think "smart semi-sync replication" (https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-162) will be better and will work in general case? Pavel
