Connector/J 5.1.30 is out with Fabric support

Today marks the release of several exciting pieces of software from Oracle. In addition to MySQL server 5.7.4 DMR, MySQL Fabric is out as a release candidate 1.4.2 and Connector/J 5.1.30 has full support. MySQL Fabric is a new way to implement high-availability and scale-out with MySQL server. It provides a way to group sets of servers into high-availability groups with automatic replication configuration. If scale-out is important, sharding can be defined in terms of these high-availability groups.

To use Connector/J with Fabric, you only need to add the jar to your classpath. If you are still using Java 5, you will need to manually load the com.mysql.fabric.jdbc.FabricMySQLDriver class to register the driver. Fabric-aware connections are made with a JDBC URL of the form jdbc:mysql:fabric://host:port/db. Several connection properties are available to influence the behavior of Fabric-aware connections. You can find the documentation for …

MySQL Connector/J with Fabric Support

As Tomas announced in his keynote at MySQL Connect 2013, we are working on a brand new product called MySQL Fabric. Along with this release of MySQL Fabric, we are releasing Connector/J 5.1.26 with Fabric support on labs.mysql.com. This is an alpha-quality release that adds support for scalability features in MySQL Fabric. Sharding and read/write splitting are the initial features supported by Connector/J.
In a setup involving read/write splitting or customized sharding, we generally have to duplicate knowledge of this configuration in the client applications. This is done in connection strings specified in configuration files or directly in code. With MySQL Fabric, we can express our system-wide configuration of database servers in a way that it can be accessed by client applications. In cases where this needs to change (and it always does..), the configurations affecting client applications no longer need to be changed. The connector will …
