[Read more]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, 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 …

[Read more]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.
