Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.23-14 was released last week and I wanted to take a minute to call out some of the interesting new features that we have introduced in this release.

 As introduced in a previous blog RonDB enables us to easily execute benchmarks on RonDB using the Sysbench benchmark.

In this blog I will present some results where the RonDB cluster had 2 data nodes, each using a r5.4xlarge VM in AWS that has 16 VCPUs and 128 GB memory. The Sysbench test uses SQL to access RonDB.

In this particular test case we wanted to test the Key-Lookup performance using SQL. Key-Lookup performance is essential in the RonDB use case as an online Feature Store in Hopsworks.

In this case we use the …

In the previous blog, we were able to setup a MySQL NDB Cluster replication between one source and one replica cluster. In this blog, we will discuss about replication between one source and three replica clusters.

Note: With MySQL version (8.0.21), we have started changing the term “master” to “source”, the term “slave” to “replica”. So in this blog we will refer these terms ‘source’ and ‘replica’ wherever applicable.

The main advantage of this type of topology is good for giving ‘local’ reads in geographically distant areas as well as increased redundancy in case of issues.

Let’s create four MySQL NDB Cluster with the following environment, from which one will be termed as ‘source’ cluster while the rest will be ‘replica’ clusters.

• MySQL NDB Cluster version (Latest GA version)
• 1 Management node
• 4 Data nodes …

In this blog series, we will discuss various MySQL NDB Cluster replication topologies possible with a demonstration. We will start with a simple case i.e. one source (formerly called master) and one replica (formerly called slave).

Note: With MySQL version (8.0.21), we have started changing the term “master” to “source”, the term “slave” to “replica”. So in this blog we will refer these terms ‘source’ and ‘replica’ wherever applicable.

Let’s create two MySQL NDB Cluster with the following environment, from which one will be termed as ‘source’ cluster while the other one will be ‘replica’ cluster. For now, let’s stick to the identical environment from both the cluster. Later in the following blog series, we will change the environments and will run the replication.

• MySQL NDB Cluster version (Latest GA version)
• 1 Management node
