NEW FEATURES AND NOTABLE FIXES IN THE GALERA REPLICATION LIBRARY SINCE LAST BINARY RELEASE BY CODERSHIP (3.21):

New features and notable fixes in Galera replication since last binary release

* Reporting last committed write set fixed to respect commit ordering (MW-341)

* GComm socket level error handling improved to avoid backend thread exit
in case of unexpected input from ASIO IO service (GAL-518)

* Race condition fixed in GComm message sending codepath (GAL-520)

* Fix for EVS protocol stall due to exhausted send window setting. This
bug could stall cluster messaging until the next keepalive was sent by
some node, causing …

Since its creation, Galera Cluster has established itself as the most popular high availability solution for MySQL and MariaDB users worldwide.

ClusterControl is the go-to automation and management system for Galera Cluster users.

And together, we’re going to walk you through all the different aspects that make Galera Cluster such a popular high availability solution for MySQL and MariaDB and how to best manage it with ClusterControl.

We’ll hear about the latest features of Galera Cluster directly from Codership, the creators of Galera Cluster. And we’ll look at how to automate everything from deployment, monitoring (how about ASCII-art graphs?), backups, failover, recovery, rolling upgrades and scaling using the ClusterControl CLI (for a change, we also have a GUI of course).

Comparing Oracle MySQL Group Replication and Galera Cluster through a probability perpective seems quite interesting. At commit time both use a group certification process that requires network round trips. The required time for these network roundtrips is what will mainly determined the cost of a transaction. Let us try to compute an estimate of the ...continue reading "Probability perspective on MySQL Group replication and Galera Cluster"

In this blog, we’ll look at the differences in how a PREPARE statement handles errors in binary and text protocols.

Introduction

Since Percona XtraDB Cluster is a multi-master solution, when an application executes conflicting workloads one of the workloads gets rolled back with a DEADLOCK error. While the same holds true even if you fire the workload through a PREPARE statement, there are differences between using the MySQL connector API (with binary protocol) and the MySQL client (with text protocol). Let’s look at these differences with the help of an example.

Base Workload

• Say we have a two-node cluster (n1 and n2) with the following base schema and tables:
  

  use test;
  create table t (i int, k int, primary key pk(i)) engine=innodb;
  insert into t values (1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30); …
