As you know there is a great toolset named “MySQL Utilities”, which you can use for solving various administrative tasks.
mysqldiskusage utility is for calculating MySQL Server’s disk usage and generating informative reports.
Of course this project is open source and everybody could review the source code.
A few words about how mysqldiskusage calculates database disk usage will be crucial for understanding algorithm.
The source tree is: mysql-utilities-1.5.4/scripts/mysqldiskusage.py
If you open this Python file you will see (line 169-175) :

 # We do database disk usage by default.
    try:
        diskusage.show_database_usage(servers[0], datadir, args, options)
    except UtilError:
        _, e, _ = sys.exc_info()
        print("ERROR: %s" % e.errmsg)
        sys.exit(1)

This is an idea which i presented at percona live 2015.

Is MySQL an avatar of Apache Kafka ?

Can it be Kafka ?

Yes, it can.

This talk takes a shot at modeling MySQL as Kafka.

PS: it’s unconventional, hence a WILD supposition

It turns out that configuring Perl wasn’t the last step for my student instance. It appears that I neglected to configure my student instance to support Java connectivity to MySQL. This post reviews the configuration of Java to run programs against MySQL. It also covers the new syntax on how you register a DriverManager, and avoid Java compilation errors with the older syntax.

In prior posts, I’ve shown how to use Perl , PHP, Python, and Ruby languages to query a MySQL database on Linux.

You need to install the Open JDK libraries …

Want to introduce our MySQL-AutoXtraBackup command line tool, using Percona Xtrabackup in core. Looking for contributor

Performance Schema is used extensively both internally and within the MySQL community, and I expect even more usage with the new SYS Schema and the Performance Schema enhancements in 5.7. Performance Schema is the single best tool available for monitoring MySQL Server internals and execution details at a lower level. Having said that, we are also no stranger to the fact that any monitoring tool comes with an additional cost to performance. Hence It has always been an important question to find out just how much it costs us when Performance …
