Remember that the second part of the webinar will be on March 3rd (details below).

ClusterJ Architecture

MySQL have been working on a new way of accessing MySQL Cluster using Java. Designed for Java developers, the MySQL Cluster Connector for Java implements an easy-to-use and high performance native Java interface and OpenJPA plug-in that maps Java classes to tables stored in the high availability, real-time MySQL Cluster database.

There is a series of 2 webinars coming up, as always these are free to attend – you just need to register in advance:

You may have read Bernd’s recent post that explained how to try out some new beta functionality for MySQL Cluster and wondered what kind of use you could put the new ndb$info to. ndb$info uses tables/views to give real-time access to a whole host of information that helps you monitor and tune your MySQL Cluster deployment. This article gives one example, extending MySQL Enterprise Monitor to keep an eye on the amount of free memory on the data nodes and then raise an alarm when it starts to run low – even generating SNMP traps if that’s what you need.

One of the features of MySQL Enterprise Monitor is that you can define custom data collectors and that those data collectors can run SQL queries to get the data. The information …

A new twitter account has been created for communicating MySQL Cluster updates – follow it from http://twitter.com/clusterdb

Version 3.0 of the severalnines/Configurator has been released:

• Improved scripts (a lot of cleanup), prefixing the script output with the hostname:
  E.g,:
  Cluster: Cluster Start
Cluster: STARTING MANAGEMENT SERVERS
ps-ndb01: Starting management server (nodeid=1)
ps-ndb01: Copying ../config/config.ini to /etc/mysql
ps-ndb01: Started management server (nodeid=1, pid=28253)
...
  
• Reduced number of scripts
  start-cluster-initial.sh --> start-cluster.sh --initial
rolling-restart-initial.sh --> rollling-restart.sh --initial
start-ndbd-<host>-<id>-initial.sh --> start-ndbd-<host>-<id>.sh --initial
  
• Better error handling during rolling …

Bernhard blogged over at http://ocklin.blogspot.com/2010/02/mysql-cluster-711-is-there.html that MySQL Cluster 7.1.1 Beta has been released. The big feature (from my point of view) is the SQL interface on top of NDB$INFO. This means there is now full infrastructure from the NDB data nodes right out to SQL in the MySQL Server for adding monitoring to any bit of the internals of the data nodes.

You may have noticed that the software downloads and documentation are not currently available from www.mysql.com. Don’t panic, you can download the software from dev.mysql.com. The documentation is also available from dev.mysql.com.
