[Maria-discuss] Why does local root need a password?
by Felipe Gasper 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hello, I’ve submitted a proposal to the MySQL team to allow the system administrator, when logging in via a local socket that indicates reliably that the DB client is the superuser (e.g., SO_PEERCRED in Linux), to not need a password. As implemented, my suggestion allows root to log in as any user. The rationale is that the system administrator can do anything on the server (including manual edits to the DB files) anyway; thus, every user already implicitly trusts that user with their data. This will simplify DB administration on several levels, but most conspicuously because a lost DB admin password will no longer necessitate the awkward one-time-init-file recovery method. Would MariaDB be interested in this proposal? -FG

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB version of Function Name Parsing and Resolution
by mariadb＠biblestuph.com 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Is there anywhere a MariaDB specific version of the document here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/function-resolution.html Or can someone just tell me which functions are affected by IGNORE_SPACE for MariaDB 10.3? I'm guessing that at least DATE_FORMAT has been added to that list at some point though it doesn't appear as such in any of the MySQL docs. (On a test version of 10.3 I'm getting a DATE_FORMAT error that I didn't have on 5.5). I can correct my spacey statements easily enough, but it would be helpful to know what functions I'm looking for. Thank you!

[Maria-discuss] OT Advice Sought: Migrating from to MySQL replication to Maria cluster
by Richard Reina 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

Since 2001 I have been running MySQL for a database application that runs on a private LAN. There all only a few users but the data is important to me so I have had replication with a handful of slave servers -- I also backup daily with mysqldump. I recently found out that my slaves were broken -- in that not all update quieres replicate becuase I configured them wrong using replicate-ignore-db. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55151424/update-database-table-set-name… My master server is also pretty old and running an old version of MySQL. It is definitely time to upgrade. My question is should I try to migrate to MariaDB replication or MariaDB/Galera Cluster? How much harder is configuring and maintaining a DB cluster vs replication? Does MariaDB have any paid support option where I can hire someone to help me set up a DB cluster? Thanks, Richard

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB-10.2.11 Long Time To Start
by Michael Caplan 15 Mar '19

Hi, I'm setting up a replication slave based off of MySQL 5.6. There are a large number of tables (400K). The MySQL 5.6 master takes around 10 minutes to start up, where the new MariaDB 10.2 slave takes close to 30 minutes. What is making the startup take soo long? In the below mysql log, you can see in the startup sequence between "Highest supported file format is Barracuda." and "InnoDB: 128 out of 128 rollback segments are active." the startup process takes the majority of its time: 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Uses event mutexes 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.8 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Using Linux native AIO 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Number of pools: 1 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Using SSE2 crc32 instructions 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, total size = 54G, instances = 8, chunk size = 128M 2018-01-07 9:38:18 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool 2018-01-07 9:38:18 139918113195776 [Note] InnoDB: If the mysqld execution user is authorized, page cleaner thread priority can be changed.

[Maria-discuss] how to file a problem / bug ?
by Norbert Zawodsky 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hello to everybody! I hope that this mailing list is the right place to ask this question... I have been using mysql, and since it came out mariadb, for years now without any problem. Now, something serious (a bug ?) suddendly happened. (mariadb server crashed and a whole table was gone afterwards. So I wonder where would be the right place to communicate / discuss this problem? Hope that someone here can point me in the right direction. regards, Norbert

[Maria-discuss] Chewing Through Swap - Swappiness = 0
by Michael Caplan 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

Hi, I'm trying to figure out why my recently put into production MariaDB is so swap hungry. I'm running 10.2.14, with roughly 300GB data (1000K +/- tables). 95% tables are innodb. I have 64GB RAM, with INNODB buffer pool size set to 50GB (full my.cnf below). The OS is Ubuntu 16.04.4. This is a dedicated MariaDB server. I have swappiness set to 0. I started with available swap set to just shy of 1GB. When swap got to 85% used, I bumped swap to 3GB. A day later, swap again was 85% used, and I bumped it to 5GB. A day later, swap again was 85% used, so I bumped it to 15GB. 2 days later 50% of the available swap was used. I restarted the DB moments ago, freeing up all 15GB but 128MB of swap: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 62G 20G 4.7G 266M 37G 41G Swap: 14G 128M 14G My understanding is that the OS should never allocate swap when swappiness is 0, so that has me confused. I've had similar issues with MySQL 5.6 (what I upgraded from) dipping into swap, but that instance had swappiness set to 1, and never consumed more than 5GB of swap. Questions: 1) How much of this is an OS issue vs MariaDB issue? 2) What MariaDB config vars should I be looking at to fix this issue? 3) What linux config vars should I be looking at to fix this issue?

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB-10.4 / Galera and GTIDs - aka we now have two different GTID implementations
by Daniel Black 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi, I was excited to come across the Galera-4 release notes and blog. http://galeracluster.com/2019/02/galera-cluster-4-available-for-use-in-the-… It was good to see causal read functions that I'd hoped for in https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-10715. WSREP_LAST_WRITTEN_GTID/WSREP_LAST_SEEN_GTID/ WSREP_SYNC_WAIT_UPTO_GTID functions which seemed to mirror existing functions like MASTER_GTID_WAIT and GTID variables. The reason these are different names is because a MariaDB GTID is different from a Galera one. *Having two GTID implementations is insane*. To state the obvious from a user point of view, we've now got two Global Transaction Identification implementations. Application and framework writers like Django/Drupal now have to handle now try to handle consistently with 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000:25 for Galera and 0-1-33 for MariaDB async gtid replication. This is not just a format string difference. The an implementation requires a disparate set of functions to implement when they could of been consolidated. A mixed topology setup could be hidden from the application implementation if the same functions where used. There is/was also a option/proposal that had MariaDB gtid in the protocol save a round trip retrieval of a GTID - quite useful. There is also a bunch of documentation that refers to GTID and its going to absolutely horrible to try to keep the concepts separated as you try to configure a system. An issue like MDEV-10715, the most voted for and watched open issue in JIRA, (and related MDEV-14153), should of had a very priority than this when the implementation from Codership was been merged. This shoehorned in implementation from Codership is a very poor fit. Giving MDEV-10715 a critical priority and a 10.5 target is fiction when there isn't going to be a new galera wsrep api implementation for a number of years. An extra field in the protocol is all it would of taken (comment in MDEV-10715 from 8 months ago). 10.4.3 is out (really an RC?), the galera code got merge in 10.4.2, and the source code of galera-4 isn't even released. Hopefully the tight relationship between MariaDB Corporation and Codership is enough to get this fixed because from an architectural point of view, because the current implementation shouldn't of been merged (contractual arrangement or not). Developers, MariaDB and Codership you've lost track of your user base because the feedback, that is readily available, is ignored. Sadly, Daniel
