Hi Monty,
Haidong, if you can create a set of files to replace the current ones, we can quickly get them review and add this to the MariaDB distribution.
Yes, I've created a set of files. Please look over. I did use sample files from http://datastrangler.com/windpipe/2011/02/24/custom-mysql-config-files-to-en... as template with slight modification (replication stuff removal, sync_log 1, and XA line removal). I can initiate discussion with the author to ask for permission and express appreciation. I came up my-sample.cnf.sh myself. Once I get your blessing or the blessing from people you designate, I will push for a merge. 5 files are attached: One is a generic my-sample.cnf.sh file. The other 4 are my-small.cnf.sh, my-medium.cnf.sh, my-large.cnf.sh, and my-huge.cnf.sh. Definition of small, medium, large, and huge can be arbitrary, so I made a decision: small: minimum of 4G memory medium: minimum of 16G memory large: minimum of 64G memory huge: minimum of 128G memory Now, one can argue the definition, but at this stage, I am tired of it. If I were benevolent dictator of the universe, I would just use the attached single, minimalist my-sample.cnf.sh. For my-sample.cnf.sh, I've gone through the build, compile, and testing phase, and can tell you it works. Let me know what you think. Haidong Ji
