Slave SQL thread exiting, replication stopped
by Mário Cova 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

Hi all, After upgrading *MariaDB from 10.2.33 to 10.6.19*, the *SQL Slave Thread* stops roughly every 10 minutes. This only started occurring *after the upgrade*. If I perform a *switchover*, the issue starts happening on the new standby as well. We've mined the *binary log * and found no pattern in the statements where it stops. There are *no errors shown* in slave status. When we run START SLAVE;, everything resumes normally. Currently, you're using a *cron job* to restart the SQL thread regularly. - What could be causing this? - What deeper analysis can be done? 2025-06-25 8:59:25 3152832 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001765' at position 657303910, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 9:10:23 3157451 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001765' at position 988146286, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 9:20:29 3162364 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001766' at position 220961201, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 9:30:44 3166935 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001766' at position 529729081, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 9:41:26 3171556 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001766' at position 848593645, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 10:02:46 3176393 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001767' at position 420380054, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 10:13:56 3186023 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001767' at position 753631615, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 10:24:32 3191029 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001767' at position 1072243011, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 10:36:14 3195944 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001768' at position 345337292, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 11:17:57 3201245 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001769' at position 481728557, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 11:49:04 3219634 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001770' at position 277881467, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 11:59:55 3233322 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001770' at position 562687566, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 12:30:41 3237753 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001771' at position 278373954, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 12:51:30 3250513 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001771' at position 796578679, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 13:02:19 3259002 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001771' at position 1052723773, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 13:55:51 3263370 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001773' at position 98331358, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 14:39:13 3283845 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001773' at position 968704509, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 14:49:38 3299620 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001774' at position 93970604, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 15:01:35 3303181 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001774' at position 313622321, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 15:33:48 3307316 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001774' at position 895518570, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 16:26:06 3318376 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001775' at position 770087908, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 17:08:48 3336364 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001776' at position 459626350, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 17:29:58 3350747 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001776' at position 839271624, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 18:02:42 3357922 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001777' at position 349932886, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 18:23:19 3369124 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001777' at position 694190140, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 18:54:53 3375957 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001778' at position 93981370, master: xxxx:3306 > 2025-06-25 19:15:51 3385736 [Note] Slave SQL thread exiting, replication > stopped in log 'binlog.001778' at position 366703217, master: xxxx:3306 Thanks in advance

Issue on upgrading Mariadb 11.4.5 to 11.4.7 on Ubuntu 24.04
by Derick Turner 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Hi all, Patching one of our spare servers this morning and ran into a couple of issues. The first was a complaint in the service status: mariadb.service: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string: MYSQLD_OPTS, _WSREP_NEW_CLUSTER Which was fixed by running systemctl edit mariadb.service and adding Environment="MYSQLD_OPTS=" Environment="_WSREP_NEW_CLUSTER=" to the end of the file. The second was from the error log which stated that the service was unable to read /etc/mysql/rest/keyfile.passwd, which turned out to be a permissions error on /etc/mysql/rest which was 600 and not 700 (I checked the other servers and theirs were also 600 so I guess it's the fix for MDEV-36229 which caused that) Now the server starts but it core dumps almost immediately. Systemctl status shows: ● mariadb.service - MariaDB 11.4.7 database server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d └─migrated-from-my.cnf-settings.conf, override.conf Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: core-dump) since Sat 2025-06-07 12:45:30 UTC; 1s ago Docs: man:mariadbd(8) https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/systemd/ Process: 26495 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -m 755 -o mysql -g root -d /var/run/mysqld (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 26497 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c systemctl unset-environment _WSREP_START_POSITION (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 26500 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c [ ! -e /usr/bin/galera_recovery ] && VAR= || VAR=`/usr/bin/galera_recovery`; [ $? -eq 0 ] && systemctl set-environment _WSREP_START_POSITION=$VAR || exit 1 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 26684 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mariadbd $MYSQLD_OPTS $_WSREP_NEW_CLUSTER $_WSREP_START_POSITION (code=dumped, signal=SEGV) Main PID: 26684 (code=dumped, signal=SEGV) CPU: 1.136s and error log shows 2025-06-07 12:33:57 0 [Note] Starting MariaDB 11.4.7-MariaDB-ubu2404-log source revision 118cfcf82107188f2295631193658b2ef94f4f3f server_uid 7bAWQJ3wkO2Wd/rTUTlrW6jyD3E= as process 4209 2025-06-07 12:33:57 0 [Note] InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.3 2025-06-07 12:33:57 0 [Note] InnoDB: Number of transaction pools: 1 2025-06-07 12:33:57 0 [Note] InnoDB: Using crc32 + pclmulqdq instructions 2025-06-07 12:33:57 0 [Note] InnoDB: Using liburing 2025-06-07 12:33:57 0 [Note] InnoDB: innodb_buffer_pool_size_max=22528m, innodb_buffer_pool_size=22528m 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: Initialized memory pressure event listener 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: File system buffers for log disabled (block size=512 bytes) 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: Resetting space id's in the doublewrite buffer 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: End of log at LSN=43439159458895 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: Opened 3 undo tablespaces 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: 128 rollback segments in 3 undo tablespaces are active. 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Warning] InnoDB: Cannot free the unused segments in system tablespace because a previous shutdown was not with innodb_fast_shutdown=0 or XA PREPARE transactions exist 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: System tablespace defragmentation process starts 2025-06-07 12:33:58 0 [Note] InnoDB: Moving the data from extents 15552 through 2452672 250607 12:33:58 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd got signal 11 ; Sorry, we probably made a mistake, and this is a bug.

Request to Adapt VIDEX (Virtual Index for what-if Analysis) for MariaDB
by 康荣 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Dear MariaDB Community, I hope this message finds you well. We'd like to introduce VIDEX (Virtual Index for MySQL) and humbly seek your guidance and assistance in adapting it for MariaDB compatibility. We've developed a virtual index storage engine (plugin) called VIDEX. It can simulate the impact of indexes on query plan costs without requiring real data. VIDEX forwards the statistical information, ndv (records_per_key), and cardinality information (records_in_range) needed for making query plans via a RESTful approach, with responses provided by an "algorithm service." This disaggregated design is particularly well-suited for integrating various AI-boosted cardinality and ndv algorithms. VIDEX has been successfully deployed at ByteDance, serving thousands of MySQL instances daily and over millions of SQL queries for index optimization tasks. We implemented VIDEX based on MySQL 8.0 and now, thanks to Federico Razzoli for his suggestion (LinkedIn post 1 <https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7307955728613351424/>, LinkedIn post 2 <https://www.linkedin.com/posts/federicorazzoli_github-bytedancevidex-virtua…>, , Github Issue <https://github.com/bytedance/videx/issues/1>), we'd like to adapt it to MariaDB. However, we've discovered significant differences between MySQL 8.0 and the latest MariaDB codebase. Therefore, we're seeking help from the MariaDB community, and would greatly appreciate collaboration with experienced developers to modify the code. We're very willing to cooperate in this effort. In the future, we also hope to have the opportunity to add VIDEX to the official MariaDB plugin list. *About VIDEX* VIDEX GitHub repository: https://github.com/bytedance/videx/ Virtual index technology is already available in PostgreSQL, Oracle, and IBM DB2, and would provide MariaDB users with valuable capabilities for query optimization and database research. VIDEX offers key features that would benefit MariaDB users: - What-if analysis for index strategies without production impact - Support for integration of custom or AI-based estimation algorithms - Accurate simulation of query plans, verified with complex benchmarks like TPC-H and JOB If you're interested in collaborating or have guidance to offer on adapting our code to MariaDB, we'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Rong ByteBrain Team, Bytedance

The good thing this is from same developers and tables for users are from mariadb server itself. ProxySql hase separate authentication table on its one besides autentication table in mariadb. But really is a good balancing alternative.

haproxy mysql-check user not working
by vbvbrj 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Hello. mariadb 11.8.1 I want to use haproxy with check option. Using in haproxy `option mysql-check` works but maridb logs: [Warning] Aborted connection 24971 to db: 'unconnected' user: 'unauthenticated' host: '10.0.1.165' (This connection closed normally without authentication) This is confusing as I don't know that this is regular check from haproxy, or someone tried to connect. So I want to use in haproxy `option mysql-check user haproxy-check post-41`. But this fails with error: [Warning] Access denied for user 'haproxy-check'@'10.0.1.164' (using password: NO) and haproxy shows the mariadb server as DOWN. Because in haproxy there is no way to specify a password for the user to connect to the instance of mariadb, I tried to allow passwordless access for the haproxy-check user from the specified network and minimum grants. But this does not help to allow access without password. Tried also to allow access for this user from any host and givin full access and also authentication fails. Is there an option in mariadb that does not allow paswordless authentication?

Galera Cluster (MariaDB 10.6.15) – Severe INSERT/UPDATE Delay and DB Shutdown due to dict_sys.latch
by idstevemg＠gmail.com 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

■ Environment ●Cluster: Galera Cluster (3 nodes) ●OS: CentOS 7.4 ●DBMS: MariaDB 10.6.15 ●DB Uptime: 509 days ■ Issue Overview ●Time of Occurrence: Between 00:00 and 02:00 ●Initial Symptom: Single-row INSERT and DELETE queries were delayed by several seconds and eventually stalled ●Around 00:34: Massive UPDATE queries (targeting same PK) led to X locks and an increase in active sessions ●00:35: CPU usage on DB server hit 100% and stayed at critical levels; thread count spiked ●00:41: Galera node DB01 shut down automatically Error log excerpt: [ERROR][FATAL] InnoDB: innodb_fatal_semaphore_wait_threshold for dict_sys.latch was exceeded. See : https://mariadb.com/kb/en/how-to-produce-a-full-stack-trace-for-mysqld/ ■ Root Cause (Internal Analysis) ●dict_sys.latch exceeded the innodb_fatal_semaphore_wait_threshold (default: 600 seconds) ●This caused InnoDB to forcefully kill the MariaDB process ●The dict_sys.latch is a global latch for the InnoDB data dictionary, which can become a severe bottleneck under high concurrency ❗ What’s Unusual: ●No clear sign of typical row locks or massive spike in transaction volume ●Even single-row INSERT and DELETE queries were delayed by thousands of seconds, which is highly abnormal ●No obvious external factors (lock contention, CPU saturation, or connection floods) were identified ●Strong suspicion of internal engine behavior or a bug ❓ Questions and Request for Input ●Has anyone experienced a similar issue related to dict_sys.latch in Galera Cluster environments? ●Are there known bugs or release notes in MariaDB 10.6.x or Galera that mention severe delays or process termination related to this latch? ●Any known workarounds or best practices to prevent this from recurring? Your experience and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

After upgrade from 10.11.11 to 10.11.13, Mariadb will not start with the existing SSL certs.
by Simon Avery 27 May '25

27 May '25

Hello, (Not reporting as a bug immediately; looking for confirmation and advice before doing so as it feels like this would be more widely reported if others are affected.) Several of our Mariadb servers failed to return after regular patching this morning after Mariadb upgraded from 10.11.11 to 10.11.13. Looks like, after being happy with the SSL keys for over six months, Mariadb suddenly doesn't like them. This looks like something has changed in Mariadb in this version that is stopping it reading our SSL keys, but I cannot see anything in the release notes relating to changes to SSL for .12 or .13 https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-10-11-13-changelog/ Workings: Patching immediately before updated from 10.11.11to 10.11.13. No other updates applied apart from zabbix-agent). VMs are running Rocky 9. Upgrading: MariaDB-client x86_64 10.11.13-1.el9 mariadb_10.11_r9 9.3 M MariaDB-common x86_64 10.11.13-1.el9 mariadb_10.11_r9 88 k MariaDB-server x86_64 10.11.13-1.el9 mariadb_10.11_r9 18 M MariaDB-shared x86_64 10.11.13-1.el9 mariadb_10.11_r9 131 k Before patching, mariadb was using one-sided SSL with self-signed SSL certs. Everything working as expected, been in place for over six months. After Maria upgraded from 10.11.11 to .13, Mariadb will not start. 250526 6:38:03 server_audit: logging started to the syslog. SSL error: Unable to get private key from '/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/server-key.pem' 2025-05-26 6:38:03 0 [ERROR] Failed to setup SSL 2025-05-26 6:38:03 0 [ERROR] SSL error: Unable to get private key 2025-05-26 6:38:03 0 [ERROR] Aborting server-key.pem looks okay, starts "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" - privs are 700, owned by mysql user, turning off selinux doesn't fix it. File date six months old (it's a year long key with checks to renew at -30d), and openssl likes it; # openssl rsa -in server-key.pem -check RSA key ok writing RSA key -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- My temporary fix is removing this from the config and then mariadb will restart. Fortunately are clients don't require SSL. [mysqld] #ssl-ca=/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/ca-cert.pem #ssl-cert=/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/server-cert.pem #ssl-key=/etc/my.cnf.d/ssl/server-key.pem Thank you
