Founded in 1998, Rackspace has evolved over the years to address the way customers are using data – and more specifically, databases. The San Antonio-based company is fueling the adoption of cloud computing among organizations large and small.

Today Rackspace is doubling down on open source database technologies. Why? Because that’s where the industry is heading, according to Sean Anderson, Manager of Data Services at Rackspace. The company, he said, created a separate business unit of 100+ employees focused solely on database workloads.

The key technologies under the hood include both relational databases (e.g., MySQL, Percona Server, and MariaDB) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Redis, and Apache Hadoop).

Last July Rackspace …

It has been just over 4 months since I started working on libAttachSQL for HP's Advanced Technology Group. Today marks the first (and hopefully only) RC release of the library.

Connection Groups

The only real new feature that has been added to 0.9.0 is the concept of connection groups which is something I'm pretty excited about. Internally libAttachSQL uses event loops to supply the non-blocking API. Connection Groups join a bunch of connections together into a group that uses a single event loop. This makes things much more efficient internally and makes applications easier to code too.

Here is a simplified example of how to use it (for a more detailed example see our example in the documentation).

First we need to create the group and add connections to …

A few months back, Michael wrote about reconnecting orphaned *.ibd files using MySQL 5.6. I will show you the same procedure, this time for partitioned tables. An InnoDB partition is also a self-contained tablespace in itself so you can use the same method described in the previous post.

To begin with, I have an example table with a few orphaned partitions and we will reconnect each partition one by one to the original table.

mysql [localhost] {msandbox} (recovery) > SHOW CREATE TABLE t1 G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: t1
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` (
[...]
KEY `h_date` (`h_date`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
/*!50100 PARTITION BY RANGE (year(h_date))
(PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (2006) ENGINE = InnoDB,
PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN (2010) ENGINE = InnoDB,
PARTITION …

The new InnoDB Labs release contains the ability to create and use independent multi-table general tablespaces.

This feature will provide a way to group tables together into tablespaces at a location and filename of your choosing.  Tables using row formats of Redundant, Compact, and Dynamic can be combined together into the same general tablespace. Compressed tables with the same key_block_size can also be combined together.

The SQL syntax for creating an empty general tablespaces is:

CREATE TABLESPACE `tblspace_name` ADD DATAFILE 'tablespace.ibd' [FILE_BLOCK_SIZE=n];

The filename can contain an absolute path or a path relative to the data …

I had a few more suggestions thrown out at me before I could wrap this one up.

• Try disabling the RAID controller read-ahead
• Try a few custom options to XFS
• Try RAID-10

First, my final “best” state benchmarks for comparison:

Percona Toolkit’s  pt-table-checksum performs an online replication consistency check by executing checksum queries on the master, which produces different results on replicas that are inconsistent with the master – and the tool pt-table-sync synchronizes data efficiently between MySQL tables.

The tools by default use the CRC32. Other good choices include MD5 and SHA1. If you have installed the FNV_64 user-defined function, pt-table-sync will detect it and prefer to use it, because it is much faster than the built-ins. You can also use …

I was talking with Todd Hoff recently over at High Scalability about a trend I’ve seen of late. ME: I really liked this post by Zoli Kahan from Clay.io.  AWS, cloudflare, docker, haproxy, mysql, mongo, memcache, ansible.  They use just about every technology being talked about these days.   Todd: Yah, that’s why I asked […]

It is possible to disallow users from using old_passwords=1. This can be done by adding 'maximum-old_passwords=0' to your my.cnf

This prevents users from generating passwords hashes in pre-4.1 format. In MySQL 5.7 old_passwords=1 is already disabled, so this is only useful on 5.6 and earlier.

Be aware that this also restricts old_passwords=2 which is needed for sha256 hashes.
