MySQL 5.7.7 RC & Multi Source Replication 40 to 1.

One of the cool new features in 5.7 Release Candidate is Multi Source Replication, as I previously looked into in 5.7.5 DMR.

I’ve had more and more people like the idea of this, so here’s a quick set-up as to what’s needed and how it could work.

1. Prepare master environments.
2. Prepare 40 masters for replication.
3. Create slave.
4. Insert data into the Masters.

* I originally tried running 50 mysql’s but I just ran out of resources on my old pc, so it’s at 40.

* The real key behind this scenario is that each of the masters has a unique centre_code that is implicitly inserted via the app & users at that site. i.e. no other site will want to modify any data that was entered from that site, e.g. call centre reclaims dept for specific areas / regions, CNC …

Enterprise Monitor: “Add Bulk MySQL Instances” 50 in 1-click.

Carrying on with my MySQL 5.7 Labs Multi Source Replication scenario, I wanted to evaluate performance impact via MySQL Enterprise Monitor.

Whilst I opened my environment, I remember that I had generated lots of different skeleton scripts that allowed me to deploy the 50 servers quickly, and I didn’t want to add each of my targets 1 by 1 in MEM. So, I used one of the many features available, “Add Bulk MySQL Instances”.

So, I’ve got 50 (3001-3050) masters but only 1 slave (3100).

By default, MEM monitors it’s own repository, i.e. the 1/1 server being monitored in the All group.

I want to add my slave in first, because that’s how I’m organizing things, and I’ll take the opportunity to create the monitoring group I want to …

a multisource replication scenario: 10 masters, 1 slave.

A customer asked whether we they could have 10 or more masters consolidate all the data into a single central slave. After getting a bit more information from them and seeing the application functionality, it was clear that MySQL Labs 5.7.5 Multi Source Replication could be a good candidate. Why?:
– Each master is independent from the rest of the masters.
– One-way traffic: there is only one way to update a row, and that’s from the master.
– All the masters use the same schema and table, but no single master will ever need to, nor be able to update a row from another master.
– PK determined via app & master env.

Multisource replication is still in http://labs.mysql.com, but here’s what I did to test it out.

First, I read:

The importance of multi source replication

One of the latest labs releases of Oracle MySQL brings multi source replication. This lifts the limitation found in earlier releases that a MySQL slave can only have one master.

To be fair, there were other ways of doing this already:

There are many good uses of multi source replication. You could use it to combine data from multiple shards or applications.

If MySQL is used with …
