Order from Chaos: Member Coordination in Group Replication

We are very excited about the next release of MySQL Group Replication 0.9.0 in MySQL 5.7.15 and the great work that has been done to improve its stability. Release after release, MySQL Group Replication becomes more stable and more user-friendly and has reached a maturity level that made us declare 0.9.0 a release candidate.…

Parallel Replication: Post on Booking.com Blog, Talk at Percona Live Amsterdam 2016, and more

I have a new blog post on blog.booking.com describing MariaDB 10.1 Optimistic Parallel Replication (with benchmark results):

PerconaLive Amsterdam 2016 - Talks and shows

With Oracle Open World behind us, we are now getting ready for the next big event, i.e. the European edition of PerconaLive. I am going to be a presenter three times:

  • MySQL operations in Docker is a three-hour tutorial, and it will be an expansion of the talk by the same title presented at OOW. Attendees who want to play along can do it, by coming prepared with Docker 1.11 or later and the following images already pulled (images with [+] are mandatory, while [-] are optional):

MySQL at Oracle Open World 2016

MySQL is a growing presence at Oracle Open World. While most of the headlines belong to the main products, where Oracle services are aiming at world domination, MySQL shared the spotlight, as it was announced to be part of Oracle database cloud. It seems a logical move for Oracle: after all the effort to make MySQL 5.7 the biggest release ever, it stands to reason that it is offered as a competitive feature in its own database as a service.

With this offer, Oracle is applying enterprise pricing and methodologies to a target of emerging companies. MySQL in the Oracle cloud differs from the competition by a few key points:

  • It's only MySQL 5.7. While this is the most advanced MySQL server …

Moving binary logs to a different filesystem without downtime

Another day at the office...

"Whoa, the write workload on our statistical cluster has  suddendly increased by 20% and the filesystem that holds the binary logs is no longer large enough".

Of course, I had warned the boss about this possibility when I received those servers with that tiny 250G filesystem for binlogs, but my red flag was just ignored as usual.

So here we are, presto I get this new shiny 600G LUN, but we need to stop the damn MySQL server in order to repoint the log_bin variable to the new storage area.

Dunno about you, but the idea of waking up at 2am to just perform a variable change is not something that makes me particularly happy. Not to mention the maintenance period that is needed around it....

So, I decided to investigate a bit about the possibilities to do such change without stopping the service.

As we all know, the log_bin …

MySQL team: make it easy to give you feedback!

There was a bold announcement during the MySQL Keynote at Oracle Open World. A new product that will mix up with the existing GA server, called MySQL InnoDB Cluster. This is an evolution of MySQL group replication, which has been in the labs for long time, and the MySQL shell, which was introduced as a side feature last April. The boldness I mentioned before is on account of wanting to add to a GA server something that was defined as release candidate despite never having been out of the labs. The product is interesting as it promises to be a quick and painless cluster deployment, with built-in high availability and scalability.

Improving the design of MySQL replication

Now that MySQL 8.0 has been revealed, it's time to take a deep look at replication features in the latest releases, and review its overall design.

Server UUID vs Server-ID

At the beginning of replication, there was the server_id variable that identified uniquely a node in a replication system. The variable is still here, but in MySQL 5.6 it was joined by another value, which is created during the server initialisation, regardless of its involvement in a replication system. The server_uuid is a string of hexadecimal characters that is the basis for global transaction identifiers:

select @@server_id, @@server_uuid;
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| @@server_id | @@server_uuid |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+ …

An overview of the Group Replication performance

In this blog post we will present a first look at the performance of Group Replication (GR), now that the RC is out. The goal is to provide some insight on the throughput, latency and scalability one can expect in a modern computing infrastructure, using GR in single- and multi-master configurations, but mostly focused on single-master.…

MySQL Group Replication for MySQL 5.7.15

Hi all, it is time again to do another preview release of MySQL Group Replication, the plugin that brings multi-master update everywhere support to MySQL, like we described in the Hello World post.

We are very proud to present the eighth preview release of MySQL Group Replication plugin, based on MySQL Server 5.7.15.…

MySQL CDC, Streaming Binary Logs and Asynchronous Triggers

In this post, we’ll look at MySQL CDC, streaming binary logs and asynchronous triggers.

What is Change Data Capture and why do we need it?

Change Data Capture (CDC) tracks data changes (usually close to realtime). In MySQL, the easiest and probably most efficient way to track data changes is to use binary logs. However, other approaches exist. For example:

  • General log or Audit Log Plugin (which logs all queries, not just the changes)
  • MySQL triggers (not recommended, as it can slow down the application — more below)

One of the first implementations of CDC for …
