Semi-sync Replication is a plugin
available for mysql which allows you to create more durable
replication topologies. For instance you can ensure that in
the event of a master crash that at least one of your replicas
has all transaction currently written to the master so that when
you promote, you know you're not missing any data.
That's a huge simplification.
What's the downside? Write speed. If a transaction on
your master have to wait until a replica acknowledges it has that
transaction, then there is going to be some delay. Not only
that, but your network latency between the two points matters a
lot. If you want greater durability, the cost is
performance.
It's important to note that the master doesn't wait until the
replica actually runs the transaction on the …

[Read more]Recently there have been several issues reported to me about DDL activity causing MySQL crash scenarios. In one case it stemmed from dropping multiple databases, one after the other in rapid succession. But in the case that I was recently dealing with directly, where we were upgrading to MySQL 5.7, it was the result of mysql_upgrade running an ALTER TABLE FORCE on a 2.2Tb table in order to convert it to the new microsecond precision supporting data format.
The issue occurred after the intermediate table had been completely filled with all the necessary data and right when MySQL would swap out the existing table for the intermediate. After a period of time MySQL crashed and the following InnoDB monitor output was found in the error log.
