[Read more]We released the release candidate for MariaDB Galera Cluster on 21st December 2012, not traditionally the best time to make a release.

I’ll be presenting a webinar next Wednesday, January 23 at 10 a.m. (Pacific Time), about issues application developers should think about for scaling out read-query traffic using multiple MySQL instances in a replication pair.
Specifically, about the care we have to take because replication is asynchronous. This means the slave may not have current data at all times, so an application must choose to query the slave or the master dynamically. As much as possible, we’d like to automate this choice so that application developers can be the most productive.

We are excited to announce TokuDB® v6.6, the latest version of Tokutek’s flagship storage engine for MySQL and MariaDB.
This version offers three types of performance improvements: in-memory, multi-client and fast updates.
Although TokuDB is optimized for large tables, which are larger than memory, many workloads consist of a mix of large and small tables. TokuDB v6.6 offers improvements on in-memory performance, with a more than 100% improvement on Sysbench at many concurrency levels and more than 200% improvement on TPC-C at many concurrency levels. Details to follow.
We have also made improvements in multi-threaded performance. For example, single threaded trickle loads have always been fast in TokuDB. But now multi-threaded trickle loads are even faster. An iibench run with four writers shows an increase from ~18K insertions/sec to ~28K …
