It’s a wonderful news, we have released MySQL 5.7.17 with Group Replication Plugin (GA quality).

From the definition, Group Replication is a multi-master update everywhere replication plugin for MySQL with built-in conflict detection and resolution, automatic distributed recovery, and group membership.

So we can indeed compare this solution with Galera from Codership which is a Replication Plugin implementing the WSREP API. WSREP, Write Set Replication,  extends the replication API to provide all the information and hooks required for true multi-master, “virtually synchronous” replication.

With Group Replication, MySQL implemented all this information …

Description

This webinar will be the second in our series on best practices to follow when using Galera Cluster.

In this part, we will discuss important topics related to multi-master setups:
* Practical considerations when using Galera in a multi-master setup
* Evaluating the characteristics of your database workload
* Preparing your application for multi-master
* Detecting and dealing with transaction conflicts

This is a webinar presented by Codership, the developers and experts of Galera Cluster.

Ahoi,There will be the IT-Tage 2016 conference. Where I'm going to give two talks. One will be about Docker being more then a technical revolution. The other one is about Best Practices for Docker+MySQL/MariaDB \o/
As always: fun first! Erkan

In this blog, we’ll discuss the ramifications of the Galera Error Failed to Report Last Committed (Interrupted System Call).

I have recently seen this error with Percona XtraDB Cluster (or Galera):

[Warning] WSREP: Failed to report last committed 549684236, -4 (Interrupted system call)

It was posted in launchpad as a bug in 2013: https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtradb-cluster/+bug/1434646

My colleague Przemek replied, and explained it as:

Reporting the last committed transaction is just a part of the certification index purge process. In case it fails for some reason (it occasionally does), the cert index purge may be a little delayed. But it does not mean the transaction was not applied successfully. This is a warning after all.

If we look up this error in the source code, we realize …

This blog post discusses what is going on in the MySQL high availability market, and what Percona’s plans are for helping customers with high availability solutions.

One thing I like to tell people is that you shouldn’t view Percona as a “software” company, but as a “solution” company. Our goal has always been to provide the best solution that meets each customer’s situation, rather than push our own software, regardless of whether it is the best fit or not. As a result, we have customers running all kinds of MySQL “flavors”: MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, Amazon RDS and Google Cloud SQL. We’re happy to help customers be successful with the technology of their choice, and advise them on alternatives when we see a better fit.

One area where I …

Once again Galera Cluster is a popular topic at Percona Live 2016. There are 7 Galera Cluster presentations in Percona Live Santa Clara 18-21.4. Codership’s co-founder and Galera developer Seppo Jaakola talks about Schema Upgrades in Galera Cluster, 20 April 01:00 PM – 01:50 PM @ Ballroom A.  The number includes many Percona XtraDB Cluster presentations, which is based on Codership’s Galera Cluster.

Codership will also have a booth at the conference. Meet the developers and experts of Galera Cluster and visit our booth 507!

AGENDA:

In this webinar, we will discuss the practical aspects of migrating a database setup based on traditional asynchronous replication to multi-master Galera Cluster. We will discuss the benefits Galera provides and how traditional replication settings, architecture and practices can be converted to Galera Cluster. We will show the steps that are needed to perform the migration with limited or no downtime, and will demonstrate the procedure in practice using a live database with an actual workload.

Galera Cluster is trusted by thousands of users. Galera Cluster powers Percona XtraDB Cluster and MariaDB Enterprise Cluster. This is a webinar presented by Codership, the developers and experts of Galera Cluster.

DATE AND TIME:  Tue, Apr 12, 2016 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PDT (Pacific time)

This blogpost extends last one. In the last blogpost, we had a look into Docker Network and how it makes the communication between the containers (over multiple hosts) easier. Of course we used Galera for that :)

In this blogpost we are going to use Docker Swarm to bootstrap a Galera Cluster.

Why using Docker Swarm?

Docker Swarm is (simplified) a proxy. So we've got one accesspoint to manage multiple hosts. (The swarm manage service will run on 172.17.152.11:2376). We also use Docker Swarm to abstract from the nodes. As we want the cluster to be running but we don't want to define explicitly where to run them. (Think about a 3-node-cluster on Docker Swarm with 100 nodes.)

Let us point the local docker to Docker Swarm:

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://172.17.152.11:2376

We still got …
