Change of user interface to be more logical and more in line with expectations
to work similar to old-style replication.
User can now explicitly choose in CHANGE MASTER whether binlog position is
taken into account (master_gtid_pos=current_pos) or not (master_gtid_pos=
slave_pos) when slave connects to master.
@@gtid_pos is replaced by three separate variables @@gtid_slave_pos (can
be set by user, replicated GTIDs only), @@gtid_binlog_pos (read only), and
@@gtid_current_pos (a combination of the two, most recent GTID within each
domain). mysql.rpl_slave_state is renamed to mysql.gtid_slave_pos to match.
This fixes MDEV-4474.
Adjust full test suite to work with GTID.
Huge patch, mainly due to having to update .result file for all SHOW BINLOG
EVENTS and mysqlbinlog outputs, where the new GTID events pop up.
Everything was painstakingly checked to be still correct and valid .result
file updates.
- ensure that mtr supressions table is flushed before doing controlled crash and restart
- use DBUG_SUICIDE() rather than abort() in partition tests - avoids a crash message/warning
- disable perfschema all_instances test on Windows- there are legitimate reasons for output to be different on Unix (some different threads, some different locks), the differences are expected to grow in the future, e.g with threadpool.
NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
The fix proposed in BUG#35542 and BUG#31665 introduces a performance issue
when fsyncing the master.info, relay.info and relay-log.bin* after #th events.
Although such solution has been proposed to reduce the probability of corrupted
files due to a slave-crash, the performance penalty introduced by it has
made the approach impractical for highly intensive workloads.
In a nutshell, the option --syn-relay-log proposed in BUG#35542 and BUG#31665
simultaneously fsyncs master.info, relay-log.info and relay-log.bin* and
this is the main source of performance issues.
This patch introduces new options that give more control to the user on
what should be fsynced and how often:
1) (--sync-master-info, integer) which syncs the master.info after #th event;
2) (--sync-relay-log, integer) which syncs the relay-log.bin* after #th
events.
3) (--sync-relay-log-info, integer) which syncs the relay.info after #th
transactions.
To provide both performance and increased reliability, we recommend the following
setup:
1) --sync-master-info = 0 eventually the operating system will fsync it;
2) --sync-relay-log = 0 eventually the operating system will fsync it;
3) --sync-relay-log-info = 1 fsyncs it after every transaction;
Notice, that the previous setup does not reduce the probability of
corrupted master.info and relay-log.bin*. To overcome the issue, this patch also
introduces a recovery mechanism that right after restart throws away relay-log.bin*
retrieved from a master and updates the master.info based on the relay.info:
4) (--relay-log-recovery, boolean) which enables a recovery mechanism that
throws away relay-log.bin* after a crash.
However, it can only recover the incorrect binlog file and position in master.info,
if other informations (host, port password, etc) are corrupted or incorrect,
then this recovery mechanism will fail to work.
