Making my MySQL InnoDB Cluster safe from naughtiness

TL;DR: Make sure to run “SET persist_only disabled_storage_engines=’MyISAM’, persist sql_generate_invisible_primary_key=ON;” on all instances and restart each one in your MySQL InnoDB Cluster.

Ok, what does “safe from naughtiness” mean?:
– Anyone creating tables that aren’t InnoDB, as this doesn’t make sense, after all, it is an “InnoDB” cluster.
– Making sure all tables have a Primary Key (invisible or not).
– Making sure that my (invisible) primary keys are visible to the cluster as it will rightfully complain if they aren’t!

This basically means that once you’ve got it all up and running you won’t run into those horrible situations whereby someone, somewhere, creates a MyISAM table that didn’t have a Primary Key and thus leave you with a broken cluster.

Eg.

MySQL rtnode-01:3306 ssl JS > vlc.status()
{
 "clusterName": "VLC",
 "clusterRole": "PRIMARY", …

MySQL Cluster Backup and Restore

State of the DolphiNDB

Software development is always moving forward, and the latest version is always the best ... until the next one arrives.  When you visit the MySQL Ndb Cluster downloads page, you are naturally recommended to pull the latest MySQL Cluster 8.0.22 (announcement), but sometimes it is good to look back at the journey taken to reach this point.

7.x release series

Prior to the 8.0 releases, MySQL Ndb Cluster had a sequence of 7.x (x=0..6) releases based on MySQL Server versions 5.1, 5.6, 5.7.  In each of the 7.x release series, MySQL Ndb Cluster was under feature development for some time, producing a number of minor releases, until eventually one minor release was validated as being acceptable as the first generally available (GA) …

FOSDEM 2020

My post-FOSDEM detox has started - despite preparing by reading some survival guides, I hadn't really fathomed the variety and quantity (and quality) of beer that would flow over four days.  On reflection however, the beer flow has been far exceeded by the flow of tech content and conversation.

On Thursday and Friday I attended the pre-FOSDEM MySQL Days fringe event, where there were two tracks of talks and tutorials on MySQL including sessions on :
 - MySQL Server simplification
 - MySQL replication tooling improvements
 - Configuring group replication
 - Troubleshooting group replication
 - Using DNS for loadbalancing and failover
 - Upgrading to MySQL 8.0 …

Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0 New Feature: wsrep_sst_auth Removal

The problem

In PXC 5.6 and 5.7, when using xtrabackup-v2 as the SST method, the DBA must create a user with the appropriate privileges for use by Percona XtraBackup (PXB). The username and password of this backup user are specified in the wsrep_sst_auth variable.

This is a problem because this username and password was being stored in plaintext and required that the configuration file be secured.

The PXC 8.0 solution

(This feature is still under development and may change before PXC 8.0 GA)

Because the wsrep_sst_auth is only needed on the donor side to take a backup, PXC 8.0 uses an internal user (created specifically for use by PXC) with a randomly generated password. Since this user is only needed on the donor, the plaintext password is not needed on the joiner …
