Weather is changing and so is the technology. They both never remain the same. There are lots of variations in both of them. Technological storms and innovative rains are making the blogging grounds more fertile, and this Log Buffer Edition is also sprinkling some seeds in Log Buffer #238. Oracle: He blogs less, but when [...]

This post is the following part of the previous one (http://dimitrik.free.fr/blog/archives/2010/11/mysql-performance-55-and-innodb-thread-concurrency.html) discussing about concurrency management within MySQL/InnoDB. At the end of the article I've expressed my expectations to see one day a kind of "Advanced Thread Pool" integrated within MySQL. Today this expectation become a reality with newly available Thread Pool extension for MySQL (see more about on http://blogs.oracle.com/MySQL/entry/new_commercial_extensions_for_mysql and Sysbench benchmark results on http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/scalability.html).

 I'm happy to announce that MHA for MySQL (Master High Availability Manager and tools for MySQL) version 0.52 has been released. Downloads are available here.
 This is a stable release. I have been using MHA on our(DeNA's) cross-datacenter environments. We had tens of failover opportunities and MHA worked successfully in all cases.

 Here are release notes.

* multi-master configuration is supported
 See my previous blog entry for details.

* Package name changed

I think that’s absolutely good stuff.

I saw yesterday that MySQL has finally done the right thing, and announced new commercial extensions.
What this means is that paying customers receive something more than users who get the community edition for free.
Believe it or not, when I was working in the community team at MySQL, I was already an advocate of this solution. You may see a contradiction, but there isn't. I would like to explain how this works.

An open source product needs to be developed. And the developers need to get paid. Ergo, the company needs to make money from that product if it wants to continue developing it. Either that, or the company needs to sell something else to pay the bills. (Let's not get into the argument that a pure open source project with universal participation is better, faster, or more marvelous: MySQL was never that, …

This is why you need authentication plugins that fit the largest possible number of authentication setups.

I can only guess what these authentication solutions look like for your server. But chances are that your OS has a pretty good idea on how best to authenticate users in it. This is why we've decided to hook MySQL to the two most widely used OS authentication APIs : Pluggable Authentication Modules (a.k.a PAM) and the Windows Security Support Provider Interface
