In our earlier Labs release, we presented a MySQL NoSQL solution through InnoDB Memcached Daemon Plugin (see earlier Calvin’s and my posts). That earlier release allows the Memcached Plugin directly interacting with InnoDB, completely bypassing MySQL optimizer and QP layers. It differs with another popular MySQL NoSQL solution, HandlerSocket, by skipping even the Handler API layer and directly access the InnoDB through InnoDB APIs. Thus, in theory, it would be simpler and more efficient.
However, there is one major functionality we did not implement in the first release: the replication (binlog) capability. And this important feature is being done in the latest labs release (mysql-5.6.4-labs-innodb-memcached), in which all memcached commands are now supported for binlogging.
In the following sections, we will quick walk you through the prototype and show how to use the binlog capability.
Set up the InnoDB Memcached:
Our earlier post (Get started with InnoDB Memcached Daemon plugin) details the step to set up the InnoDB Memcached. We will go very briefly on some important steps here: Read the rest of this entry »
