- Supporting multi-step, safe cut-over phase, where queries are blocked throughout the phase, and worst case scenario is table outage (no data corruption)
- Self-rollsback in case of failure (restored original table)
The idea is that the user is forced to specify the cut-over type they wish to use, given that each type has some drawbacks.
- More data in status hint
- `select count(*)` is deferred till after we validate migration is valid. Also, it is skipped on `--noop`
- Supporting `--allow-nullable-unique-key`
- Tool will bail out if chosen key has nullable columns and the above is not provided
- Fixed `OriginalBinlogRowImage` comaprison (lower/upper case issue)
- Introduced reasonable streamer reconnect sleep time
- Fixed version printing
- `rowCopyCompleteFlag` is a hint that allows us to escape the infinite loop of rowcopy once we are sure we have reached the end
- Operation would terminate after events lock noticed but before applying all events: race condition where the event would be captured asynchronously. The event is now handled sequentially with the DML events, hence now safe.
- Multiple rowcopy operations would still write to `rowCopyComplete` channel. This is still the case, but now we only wait for the first and then just flush (read and discard) any others, to avoid blocking
- Events DML listener is only added after table creation: the problem was that with very busy tables, the events func buffer would fill up, and the "tables-created" event would be blocked.
- `waitForEventsUpToLock()` unifies the waiting on all variants of complete-migration
- With `--test-on-replica`, now stopping replication "nicely", using `master_pos_wait()`
- With `--test-on-replica`, not throttling on replication after replication is stopped (duh)
- More debug output
- when `--test-on-replica`, the tested replica is implicitly a control replica
- added `replication-lag-query`, an alternate query to `SHOW SLAVE STATUS` to get replication lag
- throttling takes both the above into consideration
- Introduced `SwapTablesTimeoutSeconds`; `RENAME` is limited by this timeout
- If `RENAME` fails (due to the above), we throttle and retry
- `SwapTablesAtomic()` sets `lock_wait_timeout` and notifies with connection id
- `GrabVoluntaryLock()` intentionally grabs (and later releases) voluntary lock. It notifies when it is taken and awaits instructions as for when it could be released.
- `IssueBlockingQueryOnVoluntaryLock()` does what it says. It notifies with its connection_id so that it can be easily traced
- `stopWritesAndCompleteMigrationOnMasterViaLock()` does the thang. Oh dear this was agonizing and the code is a pain to look at, though under the limitations I do believe it is as clean as I could hope for.
