In MySQL 8.0.16, the Group Replication plugin variable group_replication_exit_state_action default value has been changed to READ_ONLY.
Starting on version 8.0.16, MySQL server introduces a new command that allows
for the binary log master key rotation, online!
When binary log encryption is enabled, the binary log master key can be rotated online by using the following new command:
|
1 |
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE BINLOG MASTER KEY; |
This new command can be used to rotate the binary log master key periodically or whenever you suspect that a key might have been compromised.…
MySQL 8.0.16 has been released last Thursday. In it, you can find some new replication features. Here is a quick summary. Follow-up blog posts will provide details about these features.
Partitioning enables you to distribute portions of individual tables across a filesystem, according to rules you can set as needed.
The user-selected rule by which the partitioning of data is accomplished is known as a partitioning function. In MySQL this function can be the modulus, simple matching against a set of ranges or value lists, an internal hashing function, or a linear hashing function.…
On previous posts about Group Replication consistency we:
In blog 3. we presented the consistency levels: EVENTUAL, BEFORE, AFTER and BEFORE_AND_AFTER; their scopes: SESSION, GLOBAL; and their context: whether they only impact the ongoing transaction or all concurrent transactions.…
In 8.0.14, we add to Group Replication (GR) the ability to use IPv6 in all of its network-related configuration parameters. This means that now you can take advantage of this technology and “rock” those billion addresses using MySQL Group Replication.
When you operate a Group Replication group, some variables use network addresses, mainly:
In Group Replication, starting with MySQL 8.0.12, the user is able to specify the behavior for members that enter an error state. The member can either shoot itself on the head or set itself to read-only.
But what does that mean in practice?…
As you may have noticed by now, we are continuously improving and enhancing the experience of managing a MySQL server. Furthermore, we have also released tools, such as MySQL shell, that make advanced and distributed setups like creating, deploying, and running clusters of InnoDB instances, seamless to the end user.…
Replication topologies, whether master-slave or group replication setups, may be composed of servers using different MySQL versions.
In MySQL 8.0.14, each transaction’s immediate and original server versions are now visible in the binary log as session variables. These two new variables, fully managed by the replication infrastructure, are used to support cross-version replication by transmitting the MySQL server release numbers associated with each transaction through the replication topology:
As we showed on the introduction post, in MySQL 8.0.14 Group Replication was once again improved. Now the developer can specify which is the consistency level of all group transactions or even of a single transaction.
Note that this is about consistency in terms of the global synchronization of transactions in the group.…
