Taxonomy upgrade extras: galeraclusterMySQL ClusterHigh Availability

Recently we had to set-up a 3-node Galera Cluster with a Load Balancer in front of it. Because Galera Cluster nodes (mysqld) still reply to TCP requests on port 3306 when they are expelled from the Cluster it is not sufficient to just leave it to the Load Balancer to check the port if a Galera node is properly running or not.

We used the wsrep_notify_cmd variable to hook our own script into the Galera Cluster which disables each Node on the Load Balancer when its state …

Replication : Be careful while executing DCL with replicate-ignore-db=mysql. Normally in mysql replication Data Control Language (DCL) statements won’t replicate into slave if we are configuring replication with replicate-ignore-db=mysql. But if we are executing DCL statements from different database schema (other than mysql schema) in master, the event will replicate to slave. slave configuration mysql> show slave status\G [...]

Are you a Django user? There’s an upcoming Django conference in Chicago in a few months, and I know they’re looking for speakers with MySQL experience in particular. One suggestion the organizers have floated is a talk on MySQL:

I’m looking for someone to give at least one MySQL talk there. In particular, I would love a (friendly but vigorous) “Why you should use MySQL instead of PostgreSQL talk”, as PostgreSQL tends to get a lot of love and attention at Django events, and MySQL not so much.

Take a look at it and see if you are interested. Presenting at a conference is one of the best things you can do for your career, your company, and your community of open-source software. I highly encourage it if you haven’t tried it.

Subject says its all, this is of course, very good news coming out of the Red Hat Summit. Looking forward to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. And of course, CentOS 7 and the other builds that follow. Thank you Red Hat!

Upgrading from MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.6 is a fairly straightforward process. However, the move to version 5.6 does bring with it some new varaibles with which to work.

One of the recent innovations (pioneered by Percona in Percona Server 5.5 if I recall correctly) is the ability to "dump" the innodb buffer pool***. This can be done any time MySQL is running and can be configured to be executed during MySQL shutdown. One reason to do this is to have a server "pre-warmed" when you perform a server restart. Why this is important is that during server operation the innodb buffer pool will fill up. Typically the server will operate much better when this buffer pool is full instead of being empty or paritally full because the return of data from the buffer pool is much faster than returning data from disk. 

There are four important variables with each having a value of 'ON' or 'OFF'.
