MySQL InnoDB Cluster was introduced in MySQL version 5.7 and consists of three parts – Group Replication, MySQL Shell and MySQL Router. MySQL InnoDB Cluster provides a complete high availability solution for MySQL. In this post, I am going to explain how to setup a three-node cluster using the MySQL Shell.

MySQL introduced Group Replication (GR) in version 5.7, and GR is part of the InnoDB Cluster high-availability solution. InnoDB Cluster consists of Group Replication, MySQL Shell and MySQL Router.

I am not going to explain InnoDB Cluster or Group Replication in this post. So, if you aren’t familiar with either one, I have some previous posts in which I have explained how to work with both. See:

A great way to install MySQL when you need to do quick tests is to use a sandbox tool. This allows you to perform all the installation steps with a single command making the whole process very simple, and it allows for automation of the test. Giuseppe Maxia (also known as the Data Charmer, @datacharmer on Twitter) has for many years maintained sandbox tools for MySQL, first with MySQL Sandbox and now with dbdeployer.

One of the most recent features of dbdeployer is the support for MySQL NDB Cluster. In this blog, I will take …

You say you want a Replication?

One of the best features of MySQL is the ability to use MySQL‘s built-in database replication feature to automatically replicate data from one server (source/master) to another (slave/replica). Group Replication was added in MySQL 5.7 as a way to provide a high-availability solution using a new variation of MySQL replication.

(In some earlier posts, I explained how to setup Group Replication using three MySQL database servers and how to …

Given an environment where a high volume web application is prone to opening many connections to backend resources, using a utility like pt-stalk is important.  When performance or availability affecting events like innodb lock waits or connection saturation occur, pt-stalk helps give you information you may need in troubleshooting what was happening.

The tendency may be to create multiple pt-stalks for various conditions.  This can be a poor decision when your server is dealing with both lock contention and high connections. When pt-stalk triggers, it …

In a previous blog, I discussed how to pull, install and run MySQL 8.0 with Docker.  I showed how to connect to the Docker daemon with MySQL.

Now I will show you how to connect to the same Docker instance using the MySQL Shell which is a tool to use Document Store and to create InnoDB Clusters.

Installing Docker, Starting MySQL, and Connecting using MySQL Shell

First, you grab Docker: https://docs.docker.com/install .

Then, you pull and run MySQL 8.0 (Linux) by running the following.  Note that I’m not using a password which is just for testing a fleeting MySQL Docker container:

$ docker run –name mysql8 -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes -d mysql/mysql-server

Unable to find image ‘mysql/mysql-server:latest’ locally
