In this blog post, I’ll talk about multi-threaded slave statistics printed in MySQL error log file.

MySQL version 5.6 and later allows you to execute replicated events using parallel threads. This feature is called Multi-Threaded Slave (MTS), and to enable it you need to modify the

slave_parallel_workers

 variable to a value greater than 1.

Recently, a few customers asked about the meaning of some new statistics printed in their error log files when they enable MTS. These error messages look similar to the example stated below:

[Note] Multi-threaded slave statistics for channel '': seconds elapsed = 123; events assigned = 57345; worker queues filled over overrun level = 0; waited due a Worker queue full = 0; waited due the total size = 0; waited at clock conflicts = 0 waited …

Group Replication has been around for some time now and the feedback from community is overwhelming. One of the suggestions (BUG#84795) received is related to deploying a mechanism to prevent a server from being updated after stopping group replication.…

This is old news for MySQL/MariaDB expert but people that are starting using InnoDB do not always know that disk space is not automatically released when deleting data from a table.  To explain and demonstrate that, I will take two real-world examples: table1 and table2.

Many features have been added (see Geir Høydalsvik‘s announcement) and of course the replication also brought new features and improvements (see this post from Luís Soares).

But some improvements in the monitoring broke the added sys view used by ProxySQL to monitor the state of a member of the group:

1. Watch the parentheses. It's:

ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((outerRing), (innerRing), (innerRing), ...)')

The inner rings are optional. If you have just the outer ring, then it's still:

ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((outerRing))')

and not:

ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON(outerRing)')

2. Polygons have to start and end at the same point.

3. Watch the commas. Rings are comma-delimited sets of of whitespace-delimited coordinate pairs:

x1 y1, x2 y2, x3 y3, x4 y4

not:
x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3
x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4
(x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3)
or other variations on that theme.
