Google Code – Updates: Google releases patches that enhance the manageability and reliability of MySQL

What have we added and enhanced?

The high availability features include support for semi-synchronous replication, mirroring the binlog from a master to a slave, quickly promoting a slave to a master during failover, and keeping InnoDB and replication state on a slave consistent during crash recovery.

The manageability features include new SQL statements for monitoring resource usage by table and account. This includes the ability to count the number of rows fetched or changed per account or per table. It also includes the number of seconds of database time an account uses to execute SQL commands.

More details:

• SemiSyncReplication – block commit on a master until at least one slave acknowledges receipt of all replication events.
• MirroredBinlogs – maintain a copy of the master’s binlog on a slave
• TransactionalReplication – make InnoDB and slave replication state consistent during crash recovery
• UserTableMonitoring – monitor and report database activity per account and table
• InnodbAsyncIo – support multiple background IO threads for InnoDB
• FastMasterPromotion – promote a slave to a master without restart
