- by default gh-ost will not delete an existing socket file
and thus, will fail running if socket file exists. This is the desired behavior.
- The flag --initially-drop-socket-file indicates we take responsibility and wish gh-ost to delete this file on startup
- Rowcopy time is bounded by copy end-time
- Retries are configurable via `--default-retries` (default: `60`)
- `migrator` notes the hostname
- `applier` and `inspector` note `impliedKey` (`@@hostname` and `@@port`)
- Added lots of code comments
- Adding documentation for "triggerless design"
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
- 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
- Added `switch-to-rbr` flag; applying binlog format change if needed
- Using dedicated db instance for locking & renaming on applier (must be used from within same connection)
- Heartbeat now uses `time.RFC3339Nano`
- Swap tables works! Caveat: short table outage
- `--test-on-replica` works!
- retries: using `panicAbort`: from any goroutine, regardless of context, it is possible to terminate the operation
- Reintroduced changelog events listener on streamer. This is the correct implementation.
- `INSERT`, `DELETE`, `UPDATE` statements
- support for `--noop`
- initial support for `--test-on-replica`. Verifying against `--allow-on-master`
- Changelog events no longer read from binlog stream, because reading it may be throttled, and we have to be able to keep reading the heartbeat and state events.
They are now being read directly from table, mapping already-seen-events to avoid confusion
Changlelog listener pools table in 2*frequency of heartbeat injection
- Throttling variables protected by mutex
- Added `--throttle-additional-flag-file`: `operation pauses when this file exists; hint: keep default, use for throttling multiple gh-osc operations`
- ColumnList is not a `struct` which contains ordinal mapping
- More implicit write changelog + audit changelog
- builder now builds `DELETE` and `INSERT` queries from data it will eventually get from DML event
- Sanity check for binlog_row_image
- Restarting replication to be sure binlog settings apply
- Prepare for accepting `SIGHUP` (reloading configuration)
- Supporting `--throttle-file-flag`
- Printing status
- Supporting transactional table syntax
- code cleanup; refactoring
- proper use of atomic where required
- iterations are in changelog (erm... maybe too much)
- `LOCK TABLES`, `UNLOCK TABLES` working
- Using heartbeat
- Throttling works based on heartbeat
- Refactored binlog_reader stuff. Now streaming events (into golang channel, which makes for nice buffering and throttling)
- Binlog table listeners work
- More Migrator logic; existing logic for waiting on `state` events (e.g. `TablesCreatedState`)
