Migrate MySQL5.7 to MariaDB 10.4, then to MariaDB 10.11 Failed
by edwin.chan＠checkit.net 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

Hi, I am going to migrate our existing MySQL5.7 to MariaDB 10.11.9. I setup a new Windows server that installed MySQL 5.7, MariaDB 10.4.34 and MariaDB 10.11.9 without create a new instance. I copied the data directory of MySQL5.7 from existing Windows server to the new server for migration test. First, I am able to start the MySQL5.7 on the new server. Then, I upgrade the MySQL5.7 to MariaDB 10.4.34 successfully using mysql_upgrade_service.exe which under MariaDB 10.4.34 bin directory. But failed at the last step that upgrade MariaDB 10.4.34 to MariaDB 10.11.9 using mariadb-upgrade-service.exe which under MariaDB 10.11.9 bin directory. From the error log, got below message 2024-10-03 16:17:39 0 [Note] InnoDB: Buffer pool(s) load completed at 241003 16:17:39 241003 16:17:40 [ERROR] mysqld got exception 0xc0000005 ; Sorry, we probably made a mistake, and this is a bug. Your assistance in bug reporting will enable us to fix this for the next release. To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs From the upgrade log, got below message Phase 3/8: Running 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables' ERROR 2017 (HY000): Can't open named pipe to host: . pipe: mysql_upgrade_service_3564 (2) FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed Checked named pipe enabled and local client able to connect using named pipe at each stage. Any idea why upgrade failed? When upgrade, MariaDB start the instance with socket which is not same as the socket option in my.ini. In this case, it start with socket mysql_upgrade_service_3564; I tried few times the last 4 numeric digits are not fixed and change every time. Thanks.

Logging options to debug SSL problem
by Andrew Wood 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

Hi Is there a way to get the server to log verbosely everything to do with connection attempts in order to try and debug why a client keeps getting error 2026 SSL connection error: socket layer receive error? There is currently nothing being logged on the server other than: [Warning] Aborted connection 332 to db: 'unconnected' user: 'unauthenticated' host: '192.168.253.231' (This connection closed normally without authentication) SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'tls_version'; gives TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3 and the client is based on a relatively recent version of libmysqlclient so Im struggling to understand what is going wrong without some more detailed logging. Thanks Andrew

Performance questions after Migrating from MariaDB 5.5.68 to 10.11.6 (and 9)
by cyusedfzfb 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Dear MariaDB List Readers, I hope formatting will survive...i tried to make this as readable as possible. Due to our ongoing migration from RHEL7 to RHEL9, we are also upgrading some databases from MariaDB 5.5.68 (on RHEL7) to MariaDB 10.11.6 (on RHEL9). During this process, we've noticed a significant performance drop, particularly with UPDATE and DELETE operations. To investigate this further and rule out external factors, I created a single RHEL9 VM and downloaded both the x86_64/systemd versions of MariaDB 5.5.68 and 10.11.9 from MariaDB Downloads. (https://mariadb.org/download) I installed both versions on the same VirtualBox VM, using default configurations, and placed them on the same partition (/usr/local). I followed the installation instructions in the INSTALL-BINARY file. I then ran a benchmark on both versions using a variation of this PHP benchmark script: https://github.com/sergix44/php-benchmark-script. Here are the results: *MariaDB 5.5.68*: Server version: 5.5.68-MariaDB MariaDB Server mysql::ping,0.0002 mysql::select_version,0.1299 mysql::select_all,0.6270 mysql::select_cursor,0.8542 mysql::seq_insert,2.0182 mysql::bulk_insert,0.0204 mysql::update,0.0005 mysql::update_with_index,0.0005 mysql::transaction_insert,0.0014 mysql::indexes,0.0000 mysql::delete,0.0005 mysql::select_version::q/s,15403 mysql::select_all::q/s,3190 mysql::seq_insert::q/s,991 mysql::update::q/s,3895386 mysql::update_with_index::q/s,4105436 mysql::transaction_insert::t/s,1460821 mysql::delete::q/s,4436065 Total time: 13.2027 s Peak memory usage: 23.82 MiB *MariaDB 10.11.9*: Server version: 10.11.9-MariaDB MariaDB Server mysql::ping,0.0001 mysql::select_version,0.1268 mysql::select_all,0.6435 mysql::select_cursor,0.8352 mysql::seq_insert,2.2696 mysql::bulk_insert,0.6556 mysql::update,1.4104 mysql::update_with_index,0.3981 mysql::transaction_insert,2.5425 mysql::indexes,0.2353 mysql::delete,2.2246 mysql::select_version::q/s,15772 mysql::select_all::q/s,3108 mysql::seq_insert::q/s,881 mysql::update::q/s,1418 mysql::update_with_index::q/s,8963 mysql::transaction_insert::t/s,787 mysql::delete::q/s,899 Total time: 20.9426 s Peak memory usage: 23.82 MiB The key observations: - **UPDATE performance:** - 5.5.68: *3,895,386* q/s - 10.11.9: *1,418* q/s - **UPDATE with index:** - 5.5.68: *4,105,436* q/s - 10.11.9: *8,963* q/s - **DELETE performance:** - 5.5.68: *4,436,065* q/s - 10.11.9: *899* q/s I also tested MariaDB 10.11.6, and the results were similar to 10.11.9. Our web application feels noticeably slower, and the benchmark results seem to confirm this. Is this drastic performance drop expected with newer MariaDB versions? While we are aware of tuning options (like `innodb_buffer_pool_size`, file system mount options, `innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit`, etc.), both versions were run with default settings and no tuning. How can it be that MariaDB 5.5.68 is performing several orders of magnitude faster than 10.11.x for these specific operations? Best regards, MJ To end, and to be complete: find below the actual script used to create the stats: <?php $initialRowCount = 1000; $mysqli = null; setup(function ($args) use (&$mysqli, $initialRowCount) { if (!extension_loaded('mysqli')) { print('The mysqli extension is not loaded' .

mariadb 10.6.17 + galera-26.4.19
by Jaco Kroon 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Hi, We're observing the following crash using galera and mariadb versions as per subject. Usually only one of the three nodes will go down, but last night two went down within minutes of each other resulting in a fairly nasty outage. Given the frequency of these crashes (about one once a month) I highly suspect we're doing something wrong causing us to run into this, but not others. So any advise appreciated. Stack trace as per logs: 241007 1:01:25 [ERROR] mysqld got signal 11 ; Sorry, we probably made a mistake, and this is a bug. Your assistance in bug reporting will enable us to fix this for the next release. To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

Any advise or pointers appreciated. I do notice there are galera updates, and a number of mariadb upgrades available. For galera this looks like improvements in logging, so probably not the cause of the crash, and for mariadb in 10.6.18 these items stand out for me: Server crashes in JOIN_CACHE::write_record_data upon EXPLAIN with subqueries and constant tables (MDEV-21102 <https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-21102>) - but the stack trace doesn't match. Server crash in Rows_log_event::update_sequence upon replaying binary log (MDEV-31779 <https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-31779>) - this looks feasible. If anyone can confirm my conjecture that would be great. We'd want to test 10.11 or even 11.4 in a non-production environment before making a big jump to one of those versions in production. Kind regards, Jaco

mysql_native_password authentication plugin
by cyusedfzfb 06 Oct '24

06 Oct '24

Hi, Just a quick question: we understand that mysql_native_password authentication plugin has become deprecated, and yes: we are in the process of moving to caching_sha2_password. We read everywhere that mysql_native_password is "subject to removal in a future version of MySQL" Can anyone say how soon that removal is going to be? (as for now it seems just a change of the default authentication mechanism, and I cannot find a date/year/version for *actual* removal) (and yes I did google) :-) Thanks!

unexpected swap usage for mysqld (but mariadb) process
by cyusedfzfb 29 Sep '24

Hi all! New here, signed up just new, to discuss an interesting mariadb behaviour we are seeing, related to mariadb unexpectedly using swap space. Look at this example: RHEL 8.10, running mariadb-server-utils.x86_64 3:10.5.22-1.module+el8.8.0+20134+a92c7654: > [user@db ~]$ free -g > total used free shared buff/cache > available > Mem: 187 9 11 0 165 175 > Swap: 3 3 0 and: > top - 08:52:46 up 39 days, 15:50, 2 users, load average: 1.70, 2.05, > 1.99 > Tasks: 616 total, 2 running, 614 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie > %Cpu(s): 6.0 us, 0.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 88.2 id, 4.7 wa, 0.1 hi, 0.1 > si, 0.0 st > MiB Mem : 191529.7 total, 11761.7 free, 9764.9 used, 170003.1 > buff/cache > MiB Swap: 4096.0 total, 1006.1 free, 3089.9 used. 179429.5 avail > Mem > > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ > COMMAND *SWAP * > 1952811 mysql 20 0 14.4g 5.0g 15172 S 65.7 2.7 9663:14 > mysqld* 1.7g * > 2934963 root 20 0 5208 2056 1408 S 8.9 0.0 10:39.29 > gzip 0 > 2934962 root 20 0 33612 8268 6960 S 7.9 0.0 2:35.31 > mysqldump 0 while: > [user@db ~]$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness > 1 We could (we should..) allocate more ram to mariadb, but the point is: there is plenty of RAM available, and there always has been, since boot. And yet, mariadb is using all swap. I guess this has no performance impact, probably the swapped pages are not actually used, but zabbix does not like 100% swap usage. And frankly: neither do I. Why? Can anyone here explain? Swappiness set to 1...is mariadb ignoring swappiness..? Is there something else we can configure..? I read some older posts on ram/swap, and here is some data, requested in that older thread: > [user@db ~]$ sudo ps -o pid,vsz,comm `pgrep mysqld` > PID VSZ COMMAND > 1952811 15117612 mysqld and > [user@db ~]$ for file in /proc/*/status ; do awk > '/VmSwap|Name/{printf $2 " " $3}END{ > > print ""}' $file; done | sort -k 2 -n -r | grep mysql > mysqld 1982672 kB We are seeing similar behaviour on another machines, running more recent mariadb version: 10.5.22-MariaDB MariaDB Server: > [user@db_another ~]$ free -g > total used free shared buff/cache > available > Mem: 62 40 0 1 21 20 > Swap: 4 3 1 Again: enough RAM available, and swap is used 3/4, mostly by MariaDB. Hope the provided information is enough. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. Looking forward for any insight or help on the matter. :-) Thanks! MJ
