Just a fun image from running a benchmark in the Oracle Cloud. The image above
shows 6 hours of benchmark run in a data node on a Bare Metal Server. First creating
the disk data tablespaces, next loading the data and finally running the benchmark.

During loading the network was loaded to 1.8 GByte per second, the disks was writing
4 Gbyte per second. During the benchmark run the disks was writing 5 GByte per
second in addition to reading 1.5 Gbyte per second.

All this while CPUs were never loaded to more than 20 percent. Many interesting
things to consider when running benchmarks against modern disk drives.
Bottlenecks can appear in CPUs, in disk drives, in networks and of course it is
possible to create …

In a previous post Profiling Software Using perf and Flame Graphs, we took a look at how to generate Flame Graphs from perf outputs. In this short follow-up, we will use Flame Graphs to process outputs from pt-pmp. Flame Graphs were not originally thought of for this purpose, but since pt-pmp outputs are similar to the folded samples (the result of using stackcollapse-perf.pl), we can take advantage of its functionality.

There are mainly two differences in the pt-pmp outputs:

• The first column is the number of threads with that same backtrace, and
• The function names are separated by a comma instead of a semicolon

Additionally, pt-pmp will print the date in the first line, so we’ll need to trim that part, too.

Lastly, before …

One thing that we announced in the GA release of MySQL Cluster 8.0 is
that we now support using 3 and 4 replicas. Actually the NDB software
was designed to support 1 through 4 replicas from the very get go in the
1990s. The reason it has not been supported is simply that we haven't
had any regular testing effort attached to it. Thus we haven't felt that
we can support such an important feature without having proper testing
of it.

What we did in the development of MySQL Cluster 8.0 is that we have
added a number of new configurations with both 3 replicas and with
4 replicas. These configurations will now be used in our daily testing
of NDB.

In the process of working on this we found some issues with arbitration
already in MySQL Cluster 7.6. This issue was fixed in 7.6 already.
So the way to decide how to handle a node failure in 7.6 and …

MySQL 8.0.19 came out this week and can he downloaded here.   One of the first things I do when a new release happens is look at the release notes.  The release note cover the changes from the previous versions and the latest edition edition details some interesting new stuff.

Password Locking
MySQL now enables administrators to configure user accounts such that too many consecutive login failures due to incorrect passwords cause temporary account locking. The required number of failures and the lock time are configurable per account, using the FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME options of the CREATE USER and ALTER USER statements.

YEAR(4) and …

In this blog post, we will continue to explore Vitess and test an example database provided in its repository. This is Part III of the previously discussed installation of Vitess on minikube environment, so please make sure to follow those steps to bring the cluster up to the following level.

FEMP is an acronym that stands for FreeBSD (operating system), Nginx (HTTP server pronounced Engine-x), MySQL (database server), and PHP (programming language to process dynamic PHP content). In this tutorial, we'll set up components of a FEMP stack on a FreeBSD 12.1 server using pkg, the FreeBSD package manager.

As you probably noticed MySQL Cluster 8.0 was released yesterday as a GA release.
One important thing that we changed in the GA release is that we made it possible to
set DataMemory to up to 16 TB.

We are currently working with Intel with machines that can handle 6 TB of memory
and using these machines we have already been able to load more than 5 TB of user
data in the DBT2 benchmark. We will publish more details on the results of those
benchmark investigations later.

Given that we have also improved support for disk data so much in MySQL Cluster 8.0
it means that it is perfectly sensible to store 10s of TB of data in each data node and
even up to 100 TB. So this means that a cluster with 144 data nodes would be able to
store all the way up to 5 PB of data even with 3 replicas.

The changes that made this possible is actually done already in MySQL …

In MySQL 8.0.1, we introduced support for recursive common table expressions (CTE). There are quite a few blog entries showcasing the feature, starting from this one, and there is also a complete documentation. Today, I would like to present a solution to a problem which nearly everybody meets when writing queries with recursive CTE’s: when infinite recursion happens, how to debug ?…

At 13th January 2020, MySQL Community has released the very latest MySQL 8.x version ( 8.0.19 ). The MySQL 8.0.19 has released with the good amount of bug fixes and the cool features . InnoDB ReplicaSet is one of them and most interesting feature for me . In this blog I am going to explain about the configuration of the MySQL InnoDB ReplicaSet and how to do the switchover smoothly with InnoDB ReplicaSet .

What is InnoDB ReplicaSet ?

from MySQL document,

The AdminAPI includes support for InnoDB ReplicaSet, that enables you to administer a set of MySQL instances running asynchronous GTID-based replication in a similar way to InnoDB cluster. A InnoDB ReplicaSet consists of a single primary and multiple secondaries 

Note : For configure the InnoDB ReplicaSet , the servers should be configured with the GTID .

InnoDB ReplicaSet configuration …
