Good news to all of you who are going or were thinking of going to the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo. Yesterday two great addon events were announced, both happening on Friday April 13th, right after the main conference:

Drizzle Day 2012

Stewart Smith — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:24:35 +0000

Henrik has already posted it over on the Drizzle Blog, but I thought I’d give a shout out here too.

We’re holding a Drizzle Day right after the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo in April. So, since you’re all like me and don’t book your travel this far in advance, it’ll be easy to stay for the extra day and come and learn awesome things about Drizzle.

I’m also pretty glad that my employer, Percona is sponsoring the event.

MySQL progress in a year

Henrik Ingo — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:22:21 +0000

Usually people do this around New Year, I will do it in February. Actually, I was inspired to do this after reviewing all the talks for this year's MySQL Conference - what a snapshot into the state of where we are! It made me realize we've made important progress in the past year, worth taking a moment to celebrate it. So here we go...

MySQL progress in a year

Diversification

In the past few years there was a lot of fear and doubt about MySQL due to Oracle taking over the ownership. But if you ask me, I was more worried for MySQL because of MySQL itself. I've often said that if MySQL had been a healthy open source project - like the other 3 components in the LAMP stack - then most of the NoSQL technologies we've seen come about would never have been started as their own projects, because it would have been more natural to build those needs on top of MySQL. You could have had a key-value store (HandlerSocket, Memcache API...), sharding (Spider) and clustering (Galera). You could have had a graph storage engine (OQGraph engine isn't quite it, I understand it is internally an InnoDB table still?). There could even have been MapReduce functionality, although I do think the Hadoop ecosystem targets problems that actually are better solved without MySQL.

Speaking at Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo 2012

Daniel Nichter — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:41 +0000

I’m speaking at Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo 2012. My two talk are: Getting Started with Drizzle 7.1 and Verifying MySQL Replication Safely With pt-table-checksum 2.0. No, there’s no relationship between those topics; they’re just things I know well.

I’ve been stalking Drizzle for many years. When it went GA last year, I began hacking Drizzle, focusing on plugins which give it nearly all its functionality. Recently, I helped overhaul the configuration, administration, and plugin sections of the Drizzle docs. I’m also frequently poking around the plugins’ source code. Consequently, I know a lot about making Drizzle work. My talk with transfer the bulk of the best of that knowledge to you so that you can return to your place of work/hobby/world domination and start using Drizzle 7.1 yourself without having to resolve some of the mysteries I had to resolve by reading the source code.

As for pt-table-checksum 2.0, part of Percona Toolkit, it’s a complete re-write of the venerable pt-table-checksum 1.0 which worked very well for years but required some fine-tuning. Well, in certain cases it didn’t work as well, which required more fine-tuning. So Baron redesigned the entire tool (with help and feedback from a lot of people at Percona), and I programmed it. It works wonderfully, and most of the time you can “just run it” and it will Just Do The Right Thing, but you will nonetheless benefit if you come to this talk and poke and prod its internal with me.

If you’ve never been to this conference before (formerly it was just the “MySQL Conference & Expo”, but it’s always been, afaik, at this time and place), you should really come because it’s very enlightening. It’s the Super Bowl/World Cup/Wimbledon/etc. of MySQL conferences in my humble opinion.

Making rpm builds a first class citizen: How?

Henrik Ingo — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:34:31 +0000

In my previous post I explained why I believe the production of RPM and DEB packages should be more integrated with the rest of your development process. Now it's time to look into how you can put the RPM build scripts inside your main source code repository, and in particular how I did that to produce RPM packages for Drizzle.

Making rpm builds a first class citizen: Why?

Henrik Ingo — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:29:32 +0000

Last weekend I released rpm files for the latest Drizzle Fremont beta (announcement). As part of that work I've also integrated the spec file and other files used by the rpmbuild into the main Drizzle bzr repository (but not yet merged into trunk). In this post I want to explain why I think this is a good thing, and in a follow up post I'll go into what I needed to do to make it work.

(And speaking of stuff you can download, phpMyAdmin 3.5.0-alpha1 now supports Drizzle!)

A Change in Direction

Andrew Hutchings — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:59:00 +0000

In 2008 my career took a sudden unexpected turn into the world of MySQL when I was offered a job at Sun. Since then MySQL and it's forks have been a big part of my life. The whole community (I mean the people, not the companies) around MySQL are part of what really drove me.

Unfortunately to me something has changed. I am not exactly sure what it is, but I am sure it is not just me because others have expressed it in conversation too. I wasn't enjoying things as much as I used to and for several reasons, some related to this, I have been quite ill.

Recently I was approached by HP's new cloud division who wanted me to work on OpenStack. It seemed the perfect opportunity to start something new inside a new vibrant community. That is not to say I have anything against my previous employer, SkySQL. They are doing a fantastic job with a great vision and I wish them well in the future.

So, I have been working on OpenStack's Core Infrastructure team for a week and a half now and so far I am loving it. The community is very welcoming and it is refreshing to see a development model similar to the one used in Drizzle so widely adopted. I look forward to diving deeper into the OpenStack world and blogging about it as I go.
