[Maria-discuss] InnoDB pain points
by Jan Lindström 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi all, I would like to know the most affecting InnoDB pain points the customers/potential customers first refer. By pain point, I mean anything that causes concerns, restricts sales etc, pain point can be bug, missing feature, usage problem, performance etc. My goal on asking this question is to find out what are the real issues customers or potential customer are struggling or issues that block customers using MariaDB. After that I will see what I can do about the situation and plan forward to address the raised issues with proper priorities. Dean, if this list does to reach the support engineers and technical sales teams please forward to more suitable list.

[Maria-discuss] Trouble getting MariaDB to start up
by Jonathan Gazeley 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi folks, I'm reasonably experienced with MySQL and MMM for cluster management but now I am working on a project to replace this with a MariaDB Galera cluster. Basic system info: [jg4461@db3 ~]$ uname -a Linux db3.resnet.bris.ac.uk 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 25 19:59:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [jg4461@db3 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.5 (Final) [jg4461@db3 ~]$ mysql -V mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.36-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1 I've set up a Galera prototype with two nodes and I got the clustering working. Then I decided to add a load of config options from my old MySQL install to the MariaDB install, and now it fails to start up, but doesn't give an obvious error message. The options were mostly to do with InnoDB buffers etc. This is the output in the log file /var/lib/mysql/db3.resnet.bris.ac.uk.err, the init script hangs for ages after this without giving any further output. 140331 15:07:49 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 140331 15:07:49 mysqld_safe WSREP: Running position recovery with --log_error='/var/lib/mysql/wsrep_recovery.mlbT89' --pid-file='/var/lib/mysql/db3.resnet.bris.ac.uk-recover.pid' 140331 15:07:51 mysqld_safe WSREP: Failed to recover position: '140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled 140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins 140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.3 140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: Using Linux native AIO 140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 1.5G 140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool 140331 15:07:49 InnoDB: highest supported file format is Barracuda.

My MariaDB config file is attached. Please could someone point me in the right direction of where to go with debugging this. I can't find any other error message so I'm struggling to track down why the server can't start. Any advice gratefully accepted! Thanks, Jonathan

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Multi Master Replication
by AskMonty KB 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Documentation" by eddow: -------------------------------- Greetings, I am attempting to set up Multi Master Replication. So far, I have been able to set up multiple masters and data is replicated to one slave. This works great. What I am having a problem with is if I add a new master. When I add the master the data in the slave table is truncated and only the data from the new master is replicated. I loose all my old data in the slave. Example: Master 1300: +----------------+ | name | +----------------+ t1300 Master 13: +----------------+ | name | +----------------+ t13 +----------------+ Slave: +----------------+ | name | +----------------+ t1300 t13 +----------------+ On the slave I do this: change master 't68' to master_host='10.79.84.149', master_user='replication_user', master_port=3306; start slave t1300; select * from name; Slave: +----------------+ | name | +----------------+ t68 +----------------+ -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/multi-master-replication/

[Maria-discuss] Does ADD/DROP INDEX update the InnoDB buffer pool?
by Markus "Shorty" Uckelmann 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi all, When adding or dropping a primary and/or secondary index is the InnoDB buffer pool updated too? Is the pool changed in place or will the LRU algo just evict to make room? In the second case buffers of other tables on the server might be affected too and the server would run with a more or less cold buffer pool. We have to fiddle with indices on production servers, which by itself is a precarious matter. So I tried to find out how ADD/DROP INDEX operations affect the memory/buffer pool of our servers. Since I wasn't able (or too stupid) to find something about this topic it would be great if someone could help me out and point me in the right direction. BTW: Version is MariaDB 5.5 Cheers, Shorty
