The Problem A replication slave cannot continue replicating from its Master. One such example is that after being stopped for a long ( or longer than anticipated ) timeframe, the BINARY LOGS required on the Master have been purged. [ERROR] [MY-013114] [Repl] Slave I/O for channel 'group_replication_recovery': Got fatal error 1236 from master when reading data from binary log: 'Cannot replicate because the master purged required binary logs.

Each online MySQL Cluster backup receives a unique identification number. This is to ensure that there is a history of activities in the backup directory. However, this can causes problems. For example, if a system restarts, this ID counter is reset and starts again at number 1, causing problems if you didn't move earlier backups. This post will discuss how to generate unique backup ids. The best method is after each online backup operation to move the created backup directory to another … [Read more...] about How to Generate Unique IDs For MysQL Cluster Backups

A rolling restart is required when you need to restart all of the nodes in a cluster for some change to take effect. Rather than bringing down the entire cluster, you can restart each single node one by one, in order to allow the cluster to continue serving requests during the changes. Most operations can be done using this technique, such as changing config.ini settings (ie. DataMemory, MaxNoOfConcurrentTransactions, etc.). However, there is a main instance when you can not use this process … [Read more...] about How to Perform a Rolling Restart of MySQL NDB Cluster

The ability to add MySQL Cluster data nodes while the cluster is still up and running is known as performing an "online" addition of nodes. This became available in MySQL Cluster starting with the 6.4.0 release version. Performing an online addition to the cluster allows for increased availability since there is no downtime and also allows a more flexible management of the cluster resources. Certain changes of the Cluster configuration will require a complete restart of the Cluster and even a … [Read more...] about How to Add Data Nodes to MySQL Cluster without Restarting the Cluster (version 6.4 and later)

It is possible but not advisable. One of the main reasons to run a cluster is to provide redundancy: in order to enjoy the full benefits of this redundancy, each node should reside on a separate machine. If you place multiple nodes on a single machine and that machine fails, you lose all of those nodes. Given that MySQL Cluster can be run on commodity hardware loaded with a low-cost (or even no-cost) operating system, it is well worth the expense of an extra machine or two in order to … [Read more...] about Can MySQL Cluster Run Multiple Nodes On a Single Server

MySQL Cluster is a technology that enables clustering of in-memory databases in a shared-nothing system. The shared-nothing architecture allows the system to work with very inexpensive hardware, and with a minimum of specific requirements for hardware or software. MySQL Cluster is designed not to have any single point of failure. It integrates the standard MySQL server with an in-memory clustered storage engine called NDB. MySQL Cluster refers to the combination of MySQL and the NDB storage … [Read more...] about How to Install MySQL Cluster on a single server for testing purposes
