01 Oct '12

Is Explain output in Json format planned in MariaDB (refer http://glebshchepa.blogspot.in/2012/04/optimizer-new-explain-formatjson.html) ? If so when? and will the implementation details and output format be fully identical to Oracle/MySQL 5.6? (I did not find it mentioned here: http://monty-says.blogspot.dk/2012/09/now-is-good-time-to-be-part-of-future… http://blog.mariadb.org/mariadb-directions/ .. sorry if I overlooked it somewhere) -- Peter -- Webyog

The plan is for a rapid release cycle to heavily test the performance and usage of MariaDB Galera Cluster in different environments. Please file bugs at: https://mariadb.atlassian.net Quotes: Seppo Jaakola, CEO for Codership "It's great that we are working closely with an upstream provider of a MySQL-compatible binary, MariaDB. We no longer have to spend time coding against out-of-tree changes as we're part of MariaDB. The excellent MariaDB engineering team constantly releases new versions of MariaDB with high quality assurance (QA). Codership will continue to collaborate closely with the MariaDB engineering team to improve the product and make new versions of the MariaDB Galera Cluster available." Michael "Monty" Widenius, CEO for Monty Program Ab "We've received a significant amount of requests for a MariaDB based Galera cluster and today we're proud to deliver that. We're currently preparing ourselves and our partners for a rollout of the GA product and related professional services via SkySQL to run critical systems on top of MariaDB Galera Cluster."
