Version End of Life. 15 Aug 2024
Release 6.1.14 contains a number of bugs fixes and improvements to the Batch loader for MySQL. In addition, support for XA transactions is now available.
Improvements, new features and functionality
Added tpm support for tuning maxDelayInterval, used to tune parallel apply.
Usage example:
property=replicator.store.parallel-queue.maxDelayInterval=120
This sets the max delay interval to 2 minutes
Issues: CT-1541
A new tpm flag has been added:
svc-systemd-config-replicator
This flag can be used to provide a custom systemd configuration that will be used in place of the default, generated one.
This is typically useful when ExecStartPre or ExecStartPost commands are needed
Issues: CT-1555
Improved the tpm command's internal logic and introduced a new sub-command, tpm ask.
Issues: CT-1573
Improved the check_tungsten_online command:
determine the cluster name by default if none is provided via -s
always check ls resources even if a dataservice name is provided
add an option to be node-specific, ignoring any status from other nodes
Issues: CT-1578
New ddlscan template (ddl-mysql-staging.vm) available to generate ddl required for
staging tables when deploying the batch applier on a MySQL target.
Issues: CT-1587
A new tpm option has been added --backup-options
This property can be used to pass options directly to the backup binary (Xtrabackup, mariabackup etc). This can be especially useful when the xtrabackup and MySQL versions differ. Generally, MySQL is always ahead of xtrabackup and in some situations xtrabackup will fail if the underlying MySQL patch release does not match the xtrabackup patch release. In this scenario, you could utilise the new option to force xtrabackup to not check the versions, for example:
backup-options=--no-server-version-check
Multiple options can be passed as a space separated list, for example.
backup-options=--option1 --option2 --option3Options passed are specific to the underlying binary and are not validated by Tungsten, therefore you must ensure you only use options that are valid, and check syntax accurately.
Issues: CT-1595
Support for XA transactions has been added.
Issues: CT-925
When using the MySQL Batch Applier, you can now choose to drop all deletes by specifying the following tpm property:
property=replicator.applier.dbms.skipDeletes=true
This is disabled (false) by default.
Issues: CT-1588
When using the MySQL Batch Applier, you can now choose to log rows into an error table that would otherwise have either generated a duplicate key error.
This is disabled by default, but can be enabled and configured by using the following two new properties:
property=replicator.applier.dbms.errorTablePrefix=error_xxx_ property=replicator.applier.dbms.batchLogDuplicateRows=true
In addition, if your tables contain Foreign Keys, you can choose to disable them during the data loading process using the following property:
property=replicator.applier.dbms.disableForeignKeys=true
Issues: CT-1589
