MySQL 8.0.3 release candidate is out with amazing new replication features, along with changes in couple of replication default options. Thanks to our users for their constant feedback and valuable inputs, MySQL is changing defaults whenever possible to remove configuration overhead for practical deployment of MySQL server.…

MySQL 8.0.1 introduced a work with replication threads mutexes in order to improve performance. In MySQL 8.0.2 the same work was extended, focusing in usability, and revamped how replication deals with disk-full conditions, improving the responsiveness of both monitoring commands and administrative commands such as KILL, as well as making status messages much more precise and helpful.…

Great news! MySQL 8.0.3 is out and it is a release candidate. In the replication team we have been busy working on interesting new enhancements and also doing some clean up. Some of these new features are out in this release.…

MySQL 8 is shaping up quite nicely. And we are having a blast in the MySQL replication team while this is happening. We are continuously improving all-things-replication by introducing new and interesting features. In addition, we have been listening to our community and addressing their feedback.…

MySQL’s multi-source replication allows you to replicate data from multiple databases into one database in parallel (at the same time). This post will explain and show you how to set up multi-source replication. (WARNING: This is a very long and detailed post. You might want to grab a sandwich and a drink.)

In most replication environments, you have one master database and one or more slave databases. This topology is used for high-availability scenarios, where the reads and writes are split between multiple servers. Your application sends the writes to the master, and reads data from the slaves. This is one way to scale MySQL horizontally for reads, as you can have more than one slave. Multi-source replication allows you to write to multiple MySQL instances, and then combine the data into one server.

Here is a quick overview of …

The white paper shares lessons learned from a careful, component level analysis of China Mobile’s 1000-node OpenStack cloud. They uncovered three major issues in the course of this study, all addressed through OpenStack configuration changes. The result: a more stable and performant China Mobile OpenStack cloud and insights into scale bottlenecks and areas for future work.

Starting on MySQL 8.0.1, a very updated replica server will be more efficient (and probably faster) than previous MySQL versions because of improvements in the relationship between the replication threads. Preliminary testing showed a benefit of up to 65% on Sysbench Update Index.…

The new release of MySQL is packed with exciting features that help detecting and analyzing replication lag. In this post, you will be able to learn all about the new replication timestamps, the new useful information that is now reported by performance schema tables, and how delayed replication was improved.…
