UPDATE: Some of the language in the original post was considered overly-critical of Oracle by some community members. This was not my intent, and I’ve modified the language to be less so. I’ve also changed term “synchronous” (which the use of is inaccurate and misleading) to “virtually synchronous.” This term is more accurate and already used by both technologies’ founders, and should be less misleading.

I also wanted to thank Jean-François Gagné for pointing out the incorrect sentence about multi-threaded slaves in Group Replication, which I also corrected accordingly.

In today’s blog post, I will briefly compare two major virtually synchronous replication technologies available today for MySQL.

More Than Asynchronous Replication

The documentation states that “For a transaction to commit, the majority of the group have to agree on the order of a given transaction in the global sequence of transactions.”

This means that as soon as the majority of nodes member of the group ack the writeset reception, certification can start. So, as a picture is worth a 1000 words, this is what it looks like if we take the illustrations from my previous post:

a group of 3 members

zoom in transaction deliverthe writer also acksmajority is reached, the system agreed on the orderack of the remaining node will come too but the order has been already decided

certification can startthe process then continues as usual

So theoretically, having 2 nodes in one DC and 1 node in another DC shouldn’t be affected …

In this blog post, we’ll look at a workaround for MySQL bug 72804.

Recently I worked on a ticket where a customer performed a point-in-time recovery PITR using a large set of binary logs. Normally we handle this by applying the last backup, then re-applying all binary logs created since the last backup. In the middle of the procedure, their new server crashed. We identified the binary log position and tried to restart the PITR from there. However, using the option

--start-position

, the restore failed with the error “The BINLOG statement of type Table_map was not preceded by a format description BINLOG statement.” This is a known bug and is reported as MySQL …
