MySQL Fabric: Musings on Release 1.4.3

As you might have noticed in the press release, we just released MySQL Utilities 1.4.3, containing MySQL Fabric, as a General Availability (GA) release. This concludes the first chapter of the MySQL Fabric story.

It all started with the idea that it should be as easy to manage and setup a distributed deployments with MySQL servers as it is to manage the MySQL servers themselves. We also noted that some of the features that were most interesting were sharding and high-availability. Since we also recognized that every user had different needs and needed to customize the solution, we set of to create a framework that would support sharding and high-availability, but also other solutions.

With the release of 1.4.3, we have a range of features that are now available to the community, and all under an open source license and wrapped in an …

MySQL Fabric now Generally Available – Automating High Availability and Sharding for MySQL


MySQL Fabric is a new framework that automates High Availability (HA) and/or sharding (scaling-out) for MySQL and it has just been declared Generally Available.

This post focuses on MySQL Fabric as a whole – both High Availability and scaling out (sharding). It starts with an introductions to HA and scaling out (by partitioning/sharding data) and how MySQL Fabric achieves it before going on to work through a full example of deploying HA with MySQL Fabric and then adding sharding on top.

Automatic Database Sharding with MySQL Cluster

MySQL Cluster automatically shards at the database layer, spreading the database out across nodes so that developers do not have to write complex and intrusive application-sharding logic (which is required by other platforms).

To understand the types of nodes in a MySQL Cluster and to learn how to design, install, configure, and maintain this product, take the MySQL Cluster training course. Below is a selection of the events already on the schedule for this 3-day training course:

MySQL Fabric: Tales and Tails from Percona Live

Going to Percona Live and presenting MySQL Fabric gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of people and get a lot of good feedback. I talked to developers from many different companies and got a lot of great feedback that will affect the priorities we make, so to all I spoke to I would like to say a great "Thank you!" for the interesting discussions that we had. Your feedback is very valuable.

It was very interesting to read the comments on MySQL Fabric on MySQL Performance Blog. The article discuss the current version of MySQL Fabric distributed with MySQL Utilities and give …

Managing farms of MySQL servers with MySQL Fabric

While built-in replication has been a major cause for MySQL’s wide adoption, official tools to help DBAs manage replication topologies have typically been missing from the picture. The community has produced many good products to fill in this gap, but recently, Oracle has been filling it too with the addition of MySQL Utilities to the mix.

One part of the Utilities that has been generating interest recently is MySQL Fabric, and we will be discussing this project in an upcoming series of blog …

Shard-Query loader gets a facelift and now Amazon S3 support too

Shard-Query (source) now supports the MySQL “LOAD DATA INFILE” command.

When you use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE a single threaded load from the current process will be performed.  You can specify a path to a file anywhere readable by the PHP script.  This allows loading without using the Gearman workers and without using a shared filesystem.

If you do not specify LOCAL, then the Gearman based loader is used.  You must not specify a path to the file when you omit the LOCAL keyword.  This is because the shared path will the pre-pended to the filename automatically.  The shared path must be a shared or network filesystem (NFS,CIFS,etc) and the files to be loaded must be placed on the shared filesystem for the Gearman based loader to work.  This is because workers may run on multiple nodes and …

MySQL Fabric 1.4.2 Released

As you saw in the press release, MySQL Fabric 1.4.2 is now released! If you're interested in learning more about MySQL Fabric, there is a session April 3, 2014 11:10–12pm titled Sharding and Scale-out using MySQL Fabric in Ballroom G.

MySQL Fabric is a relatively new project in the MySQL ecosystem and it focuses on building a framework for working with large deployments of MySQL Servers. The architecture of MySQL Fabric is such that it allows extensions to be added and the first two extensions that we added were support for high-availability using High-Availability groups (HA groups) and sharding to manage very large databases. The first version of sharding have hash and range sharding implemented as well as …

MySQL Fabric – adding Scaling to MySQL

MySQL Fabric is a new framework that adds High Availability (HA) and/or scaling-out for MySQL. This is the second in a series of posts on the new MySQL Fabric framework; the first article (MySQL Fabric – adding High Availability to MySQL) explained how MySQL Fabric can deliver HA and then stepped through all of the steps to configure and use it.

This post focuses on using MySQL Fabric to scale out both reads and writes across multiple MySQL Servers. It starts with an introduction to scaling out (by partitioning/sharding data) and how MySQL Fabric achieves it before going on to work through a full example of configuring sharding across a farm of MySQL Servers together with the code that the application developer needs to …

Oracle’s Mats Kindahl to weave MySQL Fabric into Percona Live session

Mats Kindahl of Oracle is lead developer of MySQL Fabric

MySQL Fabric is an integrated framework for managing farms of MySQL servers with support for both high-availability and sharding. Its development has been spearheaded by Mats Kindahl, senior principal software developer in MySQL at Oracle.

Mats is leading the MySQL Scaling and High-Availability effort covering the newly released MySQL Fabric and the MySQL Applier for Hadoop. He is also the architect and implementer of several features (mostly replication features), including the row-based replication available in 5.1 and the binary log group commit available in MySQL 5.6. Before starting MySQL he earned a doctoral degree in the area of automated verification of distributed systems and worked with implementation of C and C++ compilers.

He’ll be presenting at next month’s …
