Stockholm MongoDB User Group Meetup: “MongoDB and Hadoop” Monday, March 3, 2014 starting @ 5:00 PM
Join us next Monday as we host the Stockholm MongoDB User Group Meetup in Kista, or the Wireless Valley as it is also referred to.
Our very own Vinay Joosery will be speaking about how to best automate the management & deployment of database clusters, specifically MongoDB clusters though the same principles apply for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona XtraDB based clusters. Henrik Ingo of MongoDB will be talking about Analytics with MongoDB & Hadoop. And Jim Dowling, a Senior Researcher at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science, will talk about a Hadoop PaaS platform.
So whether you’re from the MySQL or NoSQL world, there’ll be plenty of good content here to walk away with in addition to getting …
[Read more]I’m happy to announce that a new version of the MariaDB Audit Plugin is available. Version 1.1.5 can be downloaded here. As you can see the Audit Plugin is available from SkySQL, who has developed the plugin.
However, now with the Audit Plugin being GA for a couple of months since 7th of November last year and customers using it in production, SkySQL has decided to contribute the Audit Plugin to the MariaDB project and I’m happy to tell you that starting from MariaDB versions 5.5.37 and 10.0.9 the Audit Plugin will be included by default. Notice that these versions of MariaDB aren’t yet released.
The MariaDB Audit Plugin introduces the capabilities of tracking user access to data. By having the Audit Plugin available by default in MariaDB, all users can easily set up tracking in their own systems and follow in real time who’s doing what in …

In the world of replication, The Binlog is every ones favorite. But what about the Relay log, Don't you feel it can do more ? Yes, It can. How about, if it can serve the purpose of the GTID feature without GTID.

Galera is slowly but surely establishing itself as a credible replacement for traditional MySQL master-slave architectures.
The benefits are clear - a true multi-master InnoDB setup with built-in fail-over, potentially across data centers.
But how do you migrate? Does the schema or application change? What are the limitations? Can migration be done online, without service interruption? What are the potential risks, and how to address those?

[Read more]On the road again - FOSSAsia
It has been a few busy months until now. I have moved from Italy to Thailand, and the move has been my first priority, keeping me from attending FOSDEM and interacting with social media. Now I start catching my breath, and looking around for new events to attend. But before I get into this, let’s make a few things clear:
Mysqldump is a fantastic tool for backing up
and restoring small and medium sized MySQL tables and databases
quickly. However, when databases surge into the
multi-terabyte range restoring from logical backups is
inefficient. It can take a significant amount of time to insert a
hundred million plus rows to a single table, even with very fast
I/O. Programs like MySQL Enterprise Backup and Percona XtraBackup
allow non-blocking binary copies of your InnoDB tables to be
taken while it is online and processing requests. XtraBackup also
has an export feature that allows InnoDB file per tablespaces to
be detached from the shared table space and imported to a
completely different MySQL instance.
The necessary steps to export and import InnoDB tables are in the
XtraBackup documentation …
