MySQL Multi Master-Master on EC2

Background:

As I mentioned in the previous post on running multiple mysql instances on EC2 using mysqld_multi. This was the first step in running 2 or more EC2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI) as a Multi-instance Master-Master (MIMM) replication cluster.
The idea cames from a blog article from Apokalyptik.com
It is about improving the availability of your databases on EC2 and allowing easy backups without affecting either master instance.
The other benefit I see, is these two masters are read-write. So you can choose your load-balancer and not worry about what to do if one of the master instances goes down.
I am going to test using mysql-proxy to perform that role of load-balancing a multi master replication cluster next.
Then we are going to hammer the hell out of the configuration using mysqlslap, then sysbench and then the granddaddy of OLTP benchmarks DBT.

If you follow the screen dump of what I did I am using a bunch of previous work. Each of the previous steps and posts builds on the last.

Summary:

  1. The most complex part of this was getting the /etc/my.cnf right. The rest was plain vanilla mysql replication. You can view myMIMM.cnf
  2. Some of the links below never mention log-slave-updates. This is fine if your in a circular or one way replication setup. In this setup each master is a slave of the other, and each master has a dedicated slave. To propagate changes from one master to the dedicated slave needs log-slave-updates on each master instance.
  3. mysqld_multi stop does not seem to stop the instances. I had to use mysqladmin shutdown instead, connecting to specific sockets.

Install:

Refer to the above links for more detailed setups. Essentially the high level steps are

  1. Setup your partitioning, I used LVM and my LVM script so I can use snapshots for backups in the future.
  2. Download and install MySQL.
  3. Load your data into that single instance, then shutdown.
  4. Map out your replication topology.
  5. Copy the data to form the basis of all the new master and slave instances.
  6. Modify the /etc/my.cnf so it has the setting for running mysqld_multi. For an example follow my post on Multiple instances or follow the example my.cnf below.
  7. Assign appropriate names, sockets, port numbers and even datafile names so that at 3am you don’t mistake one instance for another.
  8. Modify the /etc/hosts file. So you can use nicer names rather than DNS or IP addresses.

Where is the sakila database?!?

This is related to log-slave-updates!
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-options.html#option_mysqld_log-slave-updates

Master 2 took the changes from Master 1, however it never recorded the changes in its binlog!

Stopping the instances...

I found mysqld_multi stop doesn't stop or shutdown anything. So you have to go and shutdown the
mysql instances using mysqladmin shutdown -S yourSocket -uroot -Pyourpassword

mysqladmin shutdown -S /tmp/mysql2.sock -uroot -p$PASSWD
mysqladmin shutdown -S /tmp/mysql1.sock -uroot -p$PASSWD
