Supported clusters

Any application using any kind of MySQL cluster is faced with the same tasks:

The plugin is optimized for fulfilling these tasks in the context of a classical asynchronous MySQL replication cluster consisting of a single master and many slaves (primary copy). When using classical, asynchronous MySQL replication all of the above listed tasks need to be mastered at the client side.

Other types of MySQL cluster may have lower requirements on the application side. For example, if all nodes in the cluster can answer read and write requests, no read-write splitting needs to be done (multi-master, update-all). If all nodes in the cluster are synchronous, they automatically provide the highest possible quality of service which makes choosing a node easier. In this case, the plugin may serve the application after some reconfiguration to disable certain features, such as built-in read-write splitting.

注意: Documentation focus

The documentation focusses describing the use of the plugin with classical asynchronous MySQL replication clusters (primary copy). Support for this kind of cluster has been the original development goal. Use of other clusters is briefly described below. Please note, that this is still work in progress.

Using asynchronous clusters with single master

Primary use case of the plugin. Follow the hints given in the descriptions of each feature.

注意: Version requirement

The following cluster may require use of settings not available before mysqlnd_ms 1.2.0-alpha.

Using asynchronous clusters with multiple masters

This setup is currently unsupported.

The plugin has no built-in functionality to direct certain writes to certain masters. It is considered to add table filtering to future versions. Table filter would allow restricting both read and writes to certain slaves and masters based on the database/schema and table used by a statement.

A table filtering feature is prepared in the plugins source code. However, it is instable and must not be used. Bug reports on table filtering will be rejected.

Using synchronous clusters such as MySQL Cluster

MySQL Cluster is a synchronous cluster solution. All cluster nodes accept read and write requests. In the context of the plugin, all nodes shall be considered as masters.

Use the load balancing and fail over features only.

Disabling built-in read-write splitting.

Configure masters only.
