Being a fanboy of Spider for a long time. Hoping to see in shipped with MySQL. Now Im glad to see Spider shipping with MariaDB 10.0.4. It is not activated/installed per default, so as it is a SE plugin just do a

mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN spider SONAME 'ha_spider.so';

As Spider provides some funcitions and does some accounting in his own tables you also have got to

# cat /usr/share/mysql/install</em>spider.sql| mysql -u root

There you go. There is an older (german) presentation about Spider from me.
Frederic did on too :)

Sometimes, we need to search specific data available in compressed MySQL backup files. Tools are avaiable to perform normal operation on compressed files, using the powerful Linux Z commands. It's not possible to uncompress n number of huge files. Even after uncompression, the file size goes beyond 100+ GB.

Senario 1: Searching months of compressed mysql backup files for a specific data.

[root@centos4 data]# zgrep -i innodb category.sql.gz
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=165124728 DEFAULT CHARSET=binary;
[root@centos4 data]#
[root@centos4 data]# zegrep -i innodb category.sql.gz
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=165124728 DEFAULT CHARSET=binary;
[root@centos4 data]#

Senario 2: Viewing master log file and log position in a compressed file.

[root@centos4 data]# ls -ltrh
total 22M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 22M Jan  2  2013 category.sql.gz
[root@centos4 data]# zcat category.sql.gz | less …

So what if you do if you are wanting to copy some of your relational data into Hadoop and want to avoid the equivilent of scraped knuckles?
