Webinars on Wednesday November 15, 2017: Proxy Wars and Percona Software Update for Q4

Do you need to get to grips with MySQL proxies? Or maybe you could do with discovering the latest developments and plans for Percona’s software?

Well, wait no more because …

on Wednesday November 15, 2017, we bring you a webinar double bill.

Join Percona’s Chief Evangelist, Colin Charles as he presents “The Proxy Wars – MySQL Router, ProxySQL, MariaDB MaxScale” at 7:00 am PST / 10:00 am EST (UTC-8).

Reflecting on his past experience with MySQL proxies, Colin will provide a short review of three open source solutions. He’ll run through a comparison of MySQL Router, MariaDB MaxScale and ProxySQL and talk about the reasons for using the right tool for an application.

The MySQL High Availability Landscape in 2017 (the Babies)

This post is the third of a series focusing on the MySQL high availability solutions available in 2017.

The first post looked at the elders, the technologies that have been around for more than ten years. The second post talked about the adults, the more recent and mature technologies. In this post, we will look at the emerging MySQL high availability solutions. The “baby” MySQL high availability solutions I chose for the blog are group replication, proxies and distributed storage.

Group replication

Group replication is the Oracle response to Galera. The term “InnoDB cluster” means a cluster using group replication. The goal is offering …

Some thoughts on recent events

It was suggested by Monty that the posts I've made about MariaDB are for publicity. This simply isn't true. I would have much preferred a different outcome in my interactions with MariaDB. I figured that they would end up giving me a hard time, and I'd be stubborn and we'd both hate each other for as long as I could keep from leaving. A quick separation actually seems much better in such context. Regardless, I would have preferred to speak amicably to the MariaDB Corporation about switching the license back, or at least moving to the new license at the time of the notification of the community, ie as the LAST checkin in the 2.0 branch. I would suggest they re-release 2.0 as GPL and move 2.1 to the BSL to allow the market to decide if they want to move to 2.1, or even take up 2.0, if they aren't guaranteed important (especially security!) fixes in the older …

BSL BS: How do you backport fixes from MaxScale 2.0 to MaxScale 1.0?

I have created a GitHub fork of MaxScale which does not include the 2.0 branch.  The repository is called GPLScale.

There is a big potential problem with this.  Take for example the file server/core/utils.c, which now has a new license:
https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/blob/2.0/server/core/utils.c

This file WAS covered under GPL:
  https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/blob/cb3213af6382c380df9fc47347764f087ae7ecb4/server/core/utils.c

When there is a bugfix in 2.0 for server code that existed in 1.0, can that code be backported directly into GPLscale?

a) util.c in 2.0 is clearly …

ProxySQL versus MaxScale for OLTP RO workloads

In this blog post, we’ll discuss ProxySQL versus MaxScale for OLTP RO workloads.

Continuing my series of READ-ONLY benchmarks (you can find the other posts here: https://www.percona.com/blog/2016/04/07/mysql-5-7-sysbench-oltp-read-results-really-faster/ and https://www.percona.com/blog/2016/03/28/mysql-5-7-primary-key-lookup-results-is-it-really-faster), in this post I want to see how much overhead a proxy adds. At this

In my opinion, there are only two solid proxy software options for MySQL at the moment: ProxySQL and MaxScale. In the past, there was also MySQL Proxy, but it is pretty much dead for now. Its replacement, MySQl Router, is still in the very early stages …

Read-write split routing in MaxScale

In this blog post, we’ll discuss read-write split routing in MaxScale.

The two previous posts have shown how to setup high availability (HA) with Maxscale using asynchronous replication and how we monitor replication.

Now let’s focus on the routing module performing read-write splits.

This is our current configuration:

[Splitter Service]
type=service
router=readwritesplit
servers=percona1, percona2
max_slave_replication_lag=30
user=maxscale
passwd=264D375EC77998F13F4D0EC739AABAD4

MariaDB meetup in Helsinki on March 17th

If you are in Helsinki on Thursday next week March 17th, join us for the MariaDB meetup at Solinor. MariaDB team members will present the latest on MariaDB 10.1, MaxScale and MariaDB’s future roadmap. On stage Rasmus Johansson VP Engineering, MariaDB Corporation and Johan Wikman & Markus Mäkelä, developers of MaxScale. See the meetup page […]

The post MariaDB meetup in Helsinki on March 17th appeared first on MariaDB.org.

How MaxScale monitors servers

In this post, we’ll address how MaxScale monitors servers. We saw in the

We saw in the previous post how we could deal with high availability (HA) and read-write split using MaxScale.

If you remember from the previous post, we used this section to monitor replication:

[Replication Monitor]
type=monitor
module=mysqlmon
servers=percona1, percona2, percona3
user=maxscale
passwd=264D375EC77998F13F4D0EC739AABAD4
monitor_interval=1000
script=/usr/local/bin/failover.sh
events=master_down

But what are we monitoring? We are monitoring the assignment of master and slave roles inside MaxScale according to the actual replication tree in the cluster using the …

High availability with asynchronous replication… and transparent R/W split

In this post, the first one of a Maxscale series, I describe how to use MariaDB’s MaxScale and MySQL-utilities with MySQL Asynchronous replication.

When we talk about high availability with asynchronous replication, we always think about MHA or PRM. But if we want to transparently use the slave(s) for READs, what can we use ?

Description:

  • Three MySQL servers, but one has very limited resources and will …
