(edit) mysql, Yahoo, Tech, craigslist

There has been some interesting discussion on-line recently about how to handle database (meaning MySQL, but really it applies to other systems too) failover. The discussion that I’ve followed so far, in order, is:

GitHub’s report on their automated failover and downtime issues
Baron’s follow-up to that, Is automated failover the root of all evil? which generated a bit of discussion in the comments
Peter’s follow-up to both, The Math of Automated Failover which heads in the direction I was going when I realized I might want to toss my 2 cents into the mix

Mark Cuban is no fool. A tech billionaire, the no-nonsense owner of the Dallas Mavericks is just the sort of person you'd expect to value software patents. So the title of his blog post this Tuesday, "I hope Yahoo crushes Facebook in its patent suit," may not look out of place to you.

A Glance at MySQL MHA

(edit) mysql, Yahoo, highavailability, bcp

Yoshinori Matsunobu sparked some interest recently when he posted about his MySQL MHA HA solution, and there has been some discussion of it internally at Yahoo compared with the standard we currently have.

Full disclosure: I haven’t read every bit of the documentation or tried it out yet, so I apologize in advance to Yoshinori if I mistakenly represent his hard work.

I see a lot of great ideas in Yoshinori’s release, it seems to focus on two main problems:

A process to monitor an active master and perform a failover when it fails

The bit that finds the most “caught-up” slave and distributes relay log contents

Playing around with Galera 0.8pre

(edit) mysql, Yahoo

Currently I’m loading 100 TPCC warehouses in a 2-node galera cluster that I got up and running in maybe 5 minutes. Kudos to the Codership guys for making it super easy to download a single tgz and get evaluating quickly.

Galera, for those not in the know, is a “cluster of mysql instances”. Unlike MySQL Cluster (http://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/), which is really just a storage engine of clustered data storage nodes. Galera is hacked into both the main MySQL engine and Innodb (which is the only storage engine it supports). Galera is fully synchronous, so commits on any MySQL node are applied everywhere in the cluster, at commit (and before the client can proceed). Writes are actually scalable in Galera, to a point, by adding more data nodes because the replication between nodes is RBR, hence each data node doesn’t have to assume the CPU expense of processing the SQL

MySQL Master HA at Yahoo

(edit) Yahoo, master, High Availability

I was asked to write a blog post about MySQL High Availability at Yahoo, particularly for writes. Our standard practice is not particularly high-tech, but we've been using it for over 4 years now and it has become a company-wide standard with a few exceptions. Let me start by saying that at Yahoo! we consider a datacenter as a Single Point of Failure (SPoF). We build and manage many of our own datacenters, and we still don't assume they are invulnerable. How many people can attest to the fact that however to configure your racks, how many redundant switches, power supplies, drives, etc. you buy, if your leased datacenter has power or network issues, you are at their mercy. -->
