    Recently we went through an exercise where we moved all of our database masters between data centers. We planned on doing this online with minimal user impact. Obviously when performing this sort of action there are a variety of considerations such as cache consistency and other pieces of shared state in stores like HBase, but the focus of this post will be primarily on MySQL.

    During this move we had a number of constraints. As mentioned above this was to be online when serving production traffic with minimal user impact. In aggregate we service hundreds of thousands of database queries per second. Additionally we needed to encrypt all data transferring between data centers. MySQL replication supports encryption, but connections to the servers themselves present several challenges. Specifically, from a performance standpoint the handshake to establish a connection across a WAN can impact latency if …

Working with a client last week I noted in my analysis, “The mysql server was restarted on Thursday and so the [updated] my.cnf settings seems current”. This occurred between starting my analysis on Wednesday and delivering my findings on Friday.

The client however stated they did not restart MySQL and would not do that at 5pm which is still a high usage time of the production system. This is unfortunately not an uncommon finding, that a production system had an outage and that the client did not know about it and did not instigate this.

There are several common causes and the “DevOps” mindset for current production systems has made this worse.

• You have managed hosting and they perform software updates with/without your knowledge. I have for example worked with several Rackspace …

I posted recently Lossless RBR for MySQL 8.0 about a concern I have about moving to minimal RBR in MySQL 8.0.  This seems to be the direction that Oracle is considering, but I am not sure it is a good idea as a default setting. I talked about a hypothetical new replication mode lossless RBR and also about … Continue reading The differences between IDEMPOTENT and AUTO-REPAIR mode

Lossless RBR TL/DR: There’s been talk of moving the next release of MySQL to minimal RBR: I’d like to suggest an alternative: lossless RBR For MySQL 5.8 there was talk / suggestions about moving to minimal RBR as the default configuration (http://mysqlserverteam.com/planning-the-defaults-for-mysql-5-8/).  I’m not comfortable with this because it means that by default you do not have … Continue reading Lossless RBR for MySQL 8.0?
