The --gtid-ignore-duplicates option was not working correctly with row-based
replication. When a row event was completed, but before committing, there
was a small window where another multi-source SQL thread could wrongly try
to re-execute the same transaction, without properly ignoring the duplicate
GTID. This would lead to duplicate key error or out-of-order GTID error or
similar.
Thanks to Matt Neth for reporting this and giving an easy way to reproduce
the issue.
Before, the arrival of same GTID twice in multi-source replication
would cause double-apply or in gtid strict mode an error.
Keep the behaviour, but add an option --gtid-ignore-duplicates which
allows to correctly handle duplicates, ignoring all but the first.
This relies on the user ensuring correct configuration so that
sequence numbers are strictly increasing within each replication
domain; then duplicates can be detected simply by comparing the
sequence numbers against what is already applied.
Only one master connection (but possibly multiple parallel worker
threads within that connection) is allowed to apply events within
one replication domain at a time; any other connection that
receives a GTID in the same domain either discards it (if it is
already applied) or waits for the other connection to not have
any events to apply.
Intermediate patch, as proof-of-concept for testing. The main limitation
is that currently it is only implemented for parallel replication,
@@slave_parallel_threads > 0.
