MySQL Group Replication plugin is in labs.mysql.com and is available for EL6 x86_64 version Linux. But most of us have Ubuntu desktops where it should be easier to test this new thing, especially with MySQL Sandbox. After getting source code we should have compile this plugin with MySQL from source. So let’s begin. Extract both mysql group replication archive and mysql source archive:
sh@shrzayev:~/Sandboxes$ ls -l
total 650732
drwxr-xr-x 34 sh sh 4096 İyl 20 17:25 mysql-5.7.8-rc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sh sh 49762480 Avq 20 16:19 mysql-5.7.8-rc.tar.gz
drwxrwxr-x 3 sh sh 4096 Sen 28 12:08 mysql-group-replication-0.5.0-dmr
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sh sh 251687 Sen 28 11:57 mysql-group-replication-0.5.0-labs.tar.gz
You will have 2 directories as above. Then, go to mysql-group-replication folder:
sh@shrzayev:~/Sandboxes$ cd mysql-group-replication-0.5.0-dmr/
sh@shrzayev:~/Sandboxes/mysql-group-replication-0.5.0-dmr$ …[Read more]
