[Maria-discuss] The relay-log is not fluashed after the slave-relay-log.999999 showed
by Gmail 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hello, dear users. I am using MariaDB 10.0.14 at CentOS 6.5. And, as I mentioned at the title of this question, the relay-log is not flushed after the slave-relay-log.999999 showed when using "Salve_parallel_threads:10" setting. like showed blow. - binlog_format: ROW - Slave_parallel_threads:10 Everything are working fine except the "slave-relay-log.******" files continue to exist at the disk which will finally cause the disk full. If I change the value of Slave_parallel_threads setting from 10 to 0, the log will be flushed. Howevery "PK duplicate warning" error logs come next. Is there any setting should be used with Slave_parallel_threads setting? Any help will be great. Best regareds, - Jasung

[Maria-discuss] Newbie Question - Multi-Master vs Cluster
by Stuart Elvish 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Hi all, Up until now we have only directly managed stand alone MySQL instances. For clusters (MySQL) we have used a contractor to build and administrate the clusters. Our current product development requirements and good business practice (high availability of critical databases) now dictate that we move to a multi-server setup. Our goal is to setup at least two servers which will have the same data at all times and which are at separate sites so if the link between the sites goes down, the cell of servers at that site can keep operating. Our database stores text fields and blobs of audio recordings. We read data (SELECT with a WHERE) for 90-95% of our queries, some tables can be populated with hundreds of thousand of rows but normally far fewer. The software we are running which interacts with the database is smart enough to figure out if one of the database servers it is trying to reach is not responding and will hunt through a list of IP's until it successfully connects. I have a couple of questions as this will be our first cluster. (I don't think multi-master will meet our requirements based on the examples available online so I have chosen MariaDB 10 with Galera.) How often is complex management (manual intervention) required such as adding a node back into the cluster after communications between the nodes fails and then is restored? Is it normal, say 90% of the time, for syncing to re-establish automatically? What type of monitoring tools are advised? (Or is it as simple as automatically parsing logs to find errors?) The documented recommendation is 3 servers; we don't have the hardware at the moment so is it ok to start with 2 and add an additional database server at a later time? Alternatively, we could use 2 dedicated servers and 1 virtual server but the documentation states that the cluster only works as quickly as the slowest node. Is that only if you are running queries against the slowest node? Or if you are writing to the slowest node? I am assuming we can run the arbiter (garbd) on one of the existing data nodes. I am assuming we can use the SSL options in the configuration file to secure communication between the servers so if it was sniffed it would not be possible to decode the data. Does anyone have any comments on if this affects reliability? Thank you for any input you have on these questions. Please feel free to ask if you want clarification on anything.

[Maria-discuss] Oracle sets 'tone' and standard/level of discussion
by Peter Laursen 05 Jan '15

http://mysqlrelease.com/2014/12/official-mysql-repos-for-suse-linux/ "Regarding SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, SUSE unfortunately chose to not provide users with a mature and robust version of MySQL as part of the distro," https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/#fate-316482 "The MariaDB open source database replaces the MySQL database system." I also posted this comment (don't know it it will be approved) *“Regarding SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, SUSE unfortunately chose to not provide users with a mature and robust version of MySQL as part of the distro .. ”* *https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/#fate-316482 <https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/#fate-316482>“The MariaDB open source database replaces the MySQL database system.”* *Maybe rather Oracle should try to understand *WHY” almost all recent Linux distros (as well as most major web2 companies) have switched to MariaDB.* *One important reason is that the public bug-tracker for Oracle/MySQL is incomplete. This was the most stupid thing Oracle ever did to MySQL and it is completely unacceptable in the open-source world. Another reason is that patches that are released as strictly GPL cannot be included in Oracle/MySQL. MariaDB can freely use such patches – primarily from major web2 companies (Google,Facebook etc.) – and they are doing and we have only seen the beginning.* *@guys .. soon time to find another employer!* -- Peter -- Webyog

[Maria-discuss] Does MariaDB support 2 level replication and crash recover from such situation?
by 司同 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hi, all I am working on MariaDB with replication topology A->B->C, in which B is the slave of A and also the master of C, thus C contains data of both A and B. and A, B would be modified by application, while C be read only. now let B crash, I alter A to let it be the new master of C, and this time C would be modified by application. then after a period of time, B restart, this time I need let C be the master of B, and I need B has the same data with A and C, thus the topology change from A->B->C to A->C->B. Does this be possible? (I set skip-slave-start for all servers.) Regards.

[Maria-discuss] Best way to find out what function(s) generate the value of the VIRTUAL/PERSISTENT column.
by Abhishek Kumar Pandey 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Hi, I need to find out the function(s) which generate the value of VIRTUAL/PERSISTENT column. According to documentation here- https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/sql-commands/data-definitio… I have to use *SHOW CREATE TABLE.. *to get the definition. It is doable of course but It involves painful parsing of returned create table statement to get the required function(s)( As I want to display them in GUI client.) This function(s) is not returned in *show full fields from... *and I can't find any relevant information in INFORMATION_SCHEMA also. So my question is- Is there any better way of getting this information other than using SHOW CREATE TABLE.. and do parsing? or is it the only way of accomplishing it? Regards, Abhishek.

[Maria-discuss] 5.5.x vs 10.x
by Tanstaafl 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

So, thinking of building a totally new server from scratch on a new vmWare host for playing around, and was curious of the differences. Is 5.5 still being maintained just because it is the last major stable version before 10.x? But then isn't 10.x the way forward? Is 10.x still considered a drop-in replacement for MySQL? Thanks, Charles

[Maria-discuss] mariadb galera and storage engines
by Federico Razzoli 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hi! Galera claims that it only supports InnoDB tables (and MyISAM, experimentally). What about storage engines that add functionalities upon another table? For example, can I have a Mroonga or OQGRAPH or CONNECT/PROXY table built over an InnoDB table? As far as I understand this should be supported, since InnoDB will handle transactions. But did anyone test this? Regards Federico
