Version End of Life. Not Yet Set
Release 7.0.2 contains a number of key bug fixes and improvements.
The following changes have been made to Tungsten Cluster and may affect existing scripts and integration tools. Any scripts or environment which make use of these tools should check and update for the new configuration:
The various user-xxxx.log files are no longer generated
Issues: CT-1914
The check_tungsten.sh was deprecated in release 6.1.18 and has now been removed from this release.
Issues: CT-1939
Both the tungsten_get_ports and tpm report commands have been updated to use the ss OS command when the netstat OS command is unavailable or deprecated.
Issues: CT-2007
repl_svc_extractor_multi_frag_service_detectionis now turned ON by default. Event shards are determined at extraction time. With fragmented events, the shard cannot be determined by only reading the first fragment, but needs to check the last fragment as well. With this setting turned OFF, there is no issue with pipelines that don't need it, i.e. no parallel apply downstream replicas. However, as this is done at extract time, THL contains this information, and adding or changing a replica using parallel apply could introduce issues.Note
It can be disabled if you see a performance overhead but this should be done with caution. For Aurora<>Aurora Active/Active deployments it is essential that this property be left ON.
Issues: CT-1959
Changed the behavior of the connector and manager upon local site failover:
No longer sending write traffic to the remote site unless the local site is fully offline. In case of local failover, the connector will now pause connections until a new primary is elected. This will avoid risks of out-of-order apply after local failover
Issues: CT-2009
Improvements, new features and functionality
rsync is now an option in tprovision, in addition to using xtrabackup and mysqldump. To use rsync, specify
-m rsync.
Using rsync by default will provision a replica in 2 passes:
The first pass will live copy (seed) the replica from the source.
The second pass will quiesce the source and run the rsync again, resulting in shorter down time than a single pass rsync
Issues: CT-338
A new -c option is now available with some trepctl commands that can be used in conjunction
with the -r option to indicate the number of times to refresh before automatically terminating.
For example, the following command:
shell> trepctl perf -r 3 -c 10Will refresh the output every 3 seconds, 10 times.
Issues: CT-679
The trepctl status will now show the last known applied seqno and latency.
This information is stored on disk at regular intervals (10s minimum) so as not to overload the replicator, therefore the value can be shown as slightly old dependant on when the status command was issued.
By default, this feature is disabled. It can be enabled by setting the following parameter in the configuration :
svc-applier-last-applied-write-interval=20
This will write current position to disk every 20 seconds. This information is also exported by the Prometheus exporter.
If the service is online, it will display the current value (the same as appliedLastSeqno and appliedLatency)
shell> trepctl status
Processing status command...

...Issues: CT-1823
The tungsten_merge_logs command now supports the --before TIMESTAMP and --after TIMESTAMP filters
Issues: CT-1869
Added a new log file (tungsten-replicator/log/data-drift.log) for data drift messages, i.e. :
an update statement was logged on primary, but did not update any row on replica
a delete statement was logged on primary, but did not delete any row on replica
Issues: CT-1873
The tpm ask summary command now provides the coordinator host and the isCoordinator boolean if the Manager is running on that node.
Also, tpm ask now supports direct calls to coordinator, \{isCoordinator|iscoordinator}
and \{isBridgeMode|isBridge|bridge|isbridge|isbridgemode}.
Issues: CT-1874
The tungsten_generate_haproxy_for_api and tpm generate-haproxy-for-api commands
now support using connector hosts in the backend definitions via -c, and extra backend flags to the
backend hosts lines using -f.
Issues: CT-1909
The tungsten_generate_haproxy_for_api and tpm generate-haproxy-for-api
commands no longer call the Perl Data::Dumper module.
Issues: CT-1915
The tungsten_reset_manager command now supports the ability to simply print out the path or paths to be cleared,
one per line via the -l or --list arguments.
Issues: CT-1917
The tmonitor command now accepts cli args to specify the ports and will auto-configure the ports if they have been changed via the Tungsten configuration.
Issues: CT-1919
The tpm command calls to glob have been improved to be more strict and compliant.
Issues: CT-1940
The tpm ask stages and tpm ask allstages commands have been added to display the Replicator stages for the current node (stages) and the stages for each role (allstages).
Issues: CT-1943
The tpm ask command has five new variables available: dsrole & dsstate for the current datasource,
and trrole & trstate for the current replicator, and nodeinfo which displays all 4 of the new variables.
Issues: CT-1944
A new standalone status script has been added called tungsten_get_status that shows the datasources and replicators for all nodes in all services along with seqno and latency.
Issues: CT-1962
The tpm report command now prints the hostname and listener ports where available when using the
--extra|-x option or the new --ports option.
Issues: CT-1969
A new dsctl option has been added to the thl command, and a new -event option added to thl list
Full details and examples of these new options can be found here
Issues: CT-2012
Added a new feature that enables pausing a replicator stage for some amount of time.
This will pause the given stage for 100 seconds.:
trepctl pause -stage thl-to-q -time 100
This will pause the stage indefinitely (or until restart, etc) Add -y to avoid the prompt message whether you are sure.
trepctl pause -stage thl-to-q
For the previous 2 commands, running a pause command again will override the previous command.
This will resume the suspended stage (Note that if the stage is not paused, this will have no effect):
trepctl resume -stage thl-to-q
Please note this pause does not survive a replicator restart or a service offline/online.
Issues: CT-1912
Per-service tuning of the replicator thl directory is now possible for multi-service replicator-only installs as well as for clustering. The given value should be the base directory, to which tungsten will add the service name. For example, the following entry in the tungsten.ini:
[alpha] ... ... thl-directory=/drv1/thl ...
Would result in the THL being placed in /drv1/thl/alpha
Update of thl directory is only available when tpm is called from the staging installation directory, NOT from the running directory.
Issues: CT-1927
A new replicator role (thl-applier) has been added to allow a replicator service to apply its locally available THL, without pulling from a remote host
Issues: CT-1936
Added a way to configure the maximum number of rows that can be grouped together when applying row based events for multiple insert or delete statements.
For these properties to be in effect, you must ensure that optimize-row-events=true is either explicitly set
in your configuration, or not present (since it will be enabled by default)
For example, the following settings will limit the number of inserted or deleted rows applied at once to 10:
optimize-row-events-limit-insert-rows=10 optimize-row-events-limit-delete-rows=10
The default values if not specified will be 50 for inserts and 100 for deletes. Note that for deletes to be optimized, the affected table MUST have a single column PK.
Issues: CT-1980
The connector graceful-stop command now supports systemd service manager properly. The connector stop command now takes an optional argument that will make it a graceful stop. If connector stop is run without the parameter, it will stop the connector immediately. If a positive number of seconds is passed, it will wait, at most, this timeout for connections to disconnect (refusing new connections), after which it will force close all connections and shutdown the connector. connector graceful-stop behavior is unchanged: without the parameter, the connector will wait "forever" for connections to disconnect. A positive timeout in seconds can be passed to sever connections after the given delay
Issues: CT-1921
Two new commands have ben introduced to cctrl to provide better insight and control of the connectors. These are:
datasource <dsname> connections [-l]
This command displays the current number of connections running to the given node through connectors.
datasource <dsname> drain [optional timeout]
This command will prevent new connection to be made to the given data source, while ongoing connection remain untouched.
For more detils on the usage and options, see cctrl datasource Command
Issues: CT-1949
Added logging configuration example to print load balancers activity
Issues: CT-1966
Added a new option to TPM manager-replicator-offline-timeout=<timeout_in_sec> that configures the timeout for
the manager to wait until the replicator goes offline. When parallel applier is in use the default timeout was too low, so it’s now
user configurable so that it can be adjusted to suit different topologies. If not supplied, the default is 180 (3 minutes). This
value should be sufficent in most use cases.
Issues: CT-1892
ddlscan, dsctl and tungsten_send_diag are now added to the aliases.sh
script.
Issues: CT-813
Fixes issues where fixed properties and filters passed to tpm in service stanzas were not being configured correctly
Issues: CT-1463
No longer using Tanuki wrapper functionality to print jvm version, which was creating defunct java processes at startup, now using internal code.
Issues: CT-1876
The tpm install and tpm update commands now properly support the --thl-ports option for cross-site subservices.
Issues: CT-1953
The tungsten_skip_seqno command no longer fails when -i is specified, and now properly filters using --filter when there is a long error message.
Issues: CT-1877
The tpm command now allows any case for section entries (i.e. [alpha_FROM_beta]) in the INI files.
Issues: CT-1879
The tpm diag command now passes when the nodename defined in the tungsten.ini is the shortname, and DNS returns the FQDN.
Issues: CT-1908
The tpm diag command now gathers the mysql.log file when SSL is enabled in the server.
Issues: CT-1920
The tpm command checks for the existence of the mysql command-line client when installing/upgrading. The process will no longer abort with an error on non-MySQL targets such as heterogeneous replicator appliers, or Active-Witness hosts.
Issues: CT-1924, CT-2018
Fixes an issue that prevented dsctl from connecting to MySQL if SSL was enabled.
Issues: CT-1928
The tpm mysql command will now gracefully handle being run on a non-database node.
Issues: CT-1946
The tpm mysql command no longer aborts with an access denied error on CentOS 6.
Issues: CT-1977
Both TungstenAPI and tpasswd now properly update .passwords.store.orig backup file so that proper manipulation of passwords won't trigger tpm update failure
Issues: CT-1981
The cluster_backup script will no longer backup a replica if the replicator is in an ERROR state.
Issues: CT-1036
Fixes an issue that would prevent a service from going offline at a specified time (trepctl online -until-time) when parallel apply is enabled. This is a rework of CT-1243.
Issues: CT-1684
Fixed a possible issue when recovering an old primary as a replica after failover when parallel apply is enabled, that could lead the replica to be unable to come online and require a reprovisioning of this replica.
Issues: CT-1890
Fixes an issue that prevented geometry datatypes with SRID from being replicated.
Issues: CT-1904
Fixed an issue where filtered events would trigger a useless update to the service trep_commit_seqno table while it is overwritten anyway once the last statement of the applied event is done, just prior to committing the whole block.
Issues: CT-1931
Fixed an issue where the replicator would hang after applying a DROP TABLE event, that
originally failed on the primary, but got logged into the binlog.
Issues: CT-1973
Fixed a parsing issue that would prevent the replicator from correctly
detecting a CREATE TABLE statement with START TRANSACTION
Issues: CT-1987
Connector now auto detects default authentication plugin by retrieving MySQL data source variable default_authentication_plugin
rather than just using MySQL server version
Issues: CT-1926
No longer printing warning "SequenceException: Parents differ" when canceling connections of a composite data service
Issues: CT-1964
Fixed connector logging configuration to show hostname and class printing logs
Issues: CT-1965
The cctrl command datasource <ds> slave now sets the replicator role correctly. Previously, only the datasource role would change.
Issues: CT-1882
A bug has been fixed that, in a few very rare cases, would allow replicas to continue to pull and apply THL from a failed primary whilst a failover was in the process of electing a new primary. This resulted in failovers being unable to complete fully. Whilst the new primary would be online and functioning, existing replicas in the cluster could experience errors due to THL discrepencies between the old and new primary nodes.
Issues: CT-1986
Fixed REST API /api/v2/manager/control/service/{service}/switch call. It will not switch anymore to a shunned node.
Issues: CT-796
Calls to /api/v2/manager/cluster/status now return properly when a peer cluster is fully offline or unreachable.
Issues: CT-1945
The REST API call /api/v2/manager/control/service/{service}/datasource/{datasource}/slave now sets the role of the replicator correctly.
Issues: CT-1975
