Abstract

MariaDB replication is based on some core design ideas that help everything
fit together in a consistent way. I will present these core ideas and
explain how they determine important properties of features such as Group
Commit, Global Transaction ID, and Parallel Replication.

Also it was some time since I last was at a MariaDB meeting, so I want to
give people a chance to ask any questions about why replication is the way
it is, and what are the future directions for improvement.

Kristian Nielsen, Kristian Nielsen Consulting ApS

Kristian Nielsen is working in MySQL/MariaDB development since 2005. He
designed and implemented MariaDB replication features such as Group Commit,
Global Transaction ID, and Parallel Replication.

Since the beginning, Kristian has been an avid advocate of moving
MariaDB towards a true “bazaar” style Open-Source project, where the many
different companies, organisations, and individuals that are active in the
MySQL/MariaDB ecosystem can work together in the spirit of the Linux Kernel
project.
