   Percona Live 2017 1 !

2. How people build software ! Agenda • Setting up orchestrator

   • Backend • Discovery • Refactoring • Detection & recovery • Scripting • HA • Roadmap 2 !

3. How people build software ! 3 ! • The world’s

   largest Octocat T-shirt and stickers store • And water bottles • And hoodies • We also do stuff related to things GitHub

4. How people build software ! MySQL at GitHub • GitHub

   stores repositories in git, and uses MySQL as the backend database for all related metadata: • Repository metadata, users, issues, pull requests, comments etc. • Website/API/Auth/more all use MySQL. • We run a few (growing number of) clusters, totaling around 100 MySQL servers. • The setup isn’t very large but very busy. • Our MySQL service must be highly available. 4 !

5. How people build software ! Orchestrator, meta • Born, open

   sourced at Outbrain • Further development at Booking.com, main focus on failure detection & recovery • Adopted, maintained & supported by GitHub, 
 github.com/github/orchestrator • Orchestrator is free and open source, released under the Apache 2.0 license
 github.com/github/orchestrator/releases 5 !

6. How people build software ! • Discovery Probe, read instances,

   build topology graph, attributes, queries • Refactoring Relocate replicas, manipulate, detach, reorganize • Recovery Analyze, detect crash scenarios, structure warnings, failovers, promotions, acknowledgements, flap control, downtime, hooks 6 ! Orchestrator

    • Backend • Discovery • Refactoring • Detection & recovery • Scripting • HA • Roadmap 11 !

12. How people build software ! 12 { "MySQLTopologyCredentialsConfigFile": "/etc/mysql/orchestrator-topology.cnf", "InstancePollSeconds":

    5, "DiscoverByShowSlaveHosts": false, } • Provide credentials • Orchestrator will crawl its way and figure out the topology • SHOW SLAVE HOSTS requires report_host and report_port on servers Discovery: polling servers !

13. How people build software ! 13 { "MySQLTopologyUser": "wallace", "MySQLTopologyPassword":

    "grom1t", } • Or, plaintext credentials Discovery: polling servers !

14. How people build software ! 14 CREATE USER 'orchestrator'@'orc_host' IDENTIFIED

    BY 'orc_topology_password'; GRANT SUPER, PROCESS, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, RELOAD ON *.* TO 'orchestrator'@'orc_host'; GRANT SELECT ON meta.* TO 'orchestrator'@'orc_host'; • meta schema to be used shortly Grants on topologies !

15. How people build software ! 15 { "HostnameResolveMethod": "default", "MySQLHostnameResolveMethod":

    "@@hostname" } • Resolve & normalize hostnames • via DNS • via MySQL Discovery: name resolve !

16. How people build software ! 16 { "ReplicationLagQuery": "select absolute_lag

    from meta.heartbeat_view", "DetectClusterAliasQuery": "select ifnull(max(cluster_name), '') as cluster_alias from meta.cluster where anchor=1", "DetectClusterDomainQuery": "select ifnull(max(cluster_domain), '') as cluster_domain from meta.cluster where anchor=1", "DataCenterPattern": "", "DetectDataCenterQuery": "select substring_index(substring_index(@@hostname, '-', 3), '-', -1) as dc", "PhysicalEnvironmentPattern": "", } • Which cluster? • Which data center? • By hostname regexp or by query • Custom replication lag query Discovery: classifying servers !

17. How people build software ! 17 CREATE TABLE IF NOT

    EXISTS cluster ( anchor TINYINT NOT NULL, cluster_name VARCHAR(128) CHARSET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '', cluster_domain VARCHAR(128) CHARSET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (anchor) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; mysql meta -e "INSERT INTO cluster (anchor, cluster_name, cluster_domain) \ VALUES (1, '${cluster_name}', '${cluster_domain}') \ ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE \
 cluster_name=VALUES(cluster_name), cluster_domain=VALUES(cluster_domain)" • Use meta schema • Populate via puppet Discovery: populating cluster info !

18. How people build software ! 18 set @pseudo_gtid_hint := concat_ws(':',

    lpad(hex(unix_timestamp(@now)), 8, '0'), lpad(hex(@connection_id), 16, '0'), lpad(hex(@rand), 8, '0')); set @_pgtid_statement := concat('drop ', 'view if exists `meta`.`_pseudo_gtid_', 'hint__asc:', @pseudo_gtid_hint, '`'); prepare st FROM @_pgtid_statement; execute st; deallocate prepare st; insert into meta.pseudo_gtid_status ( anchor, ..., pseudo_gtid_hint ) values (1, ..., @pseudo_gtid_hint) on duplicate key update ... pseudo_gtid_hint = values(pseudo_gtid_hint) • Injecting Pseudo-GTID by issuing no-op DROP VIEW statements, detected both in SBR and RBR • This isn’t visible in table data • Updating a meta table to learn about Pseudo-GTID updates. • https://github.com/github/orchestrator/tree/master/resources/pseudo-gtid Pseudo-GTID !

19. How people build software ! 19 { "PseudoGTIDPattern": "drop view

    if exists `meta`.`_pseudo_gtid_hint__asc:", "PseudoGTIDPatternIsFixedSubstring": true, "PseudoGTIDMonotonicHint": "asc:", "DetectPseudoGTIDQuery": "select count(*) as pseudo_gtid_exists 
 from meta.pseudo_gtid_status 
 where anchor = 1 and time_generated > now() - interval 2 hour", } • Identifying Pseudo-GTID events in binary/relay logs • Heuristics for optimized search • Meta table lookup to heuristically identify Pseudo-GTID is available Pseudo-GTID !

    ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! backend DB orchestrator Deployment, CLI orchestrator, cli

21. How people build software ! 21 orchestrator orchestrator -c help

    Available commands (-c): Smart relocation: relocate Relocate a replica beneath another instance relocate-replicas Relocates all or part of the replicas of a given Information: clusters List all clusters known to orchestrator • Connects to same backend DB as the orchestrator service CLI !

22. How people build software ! 22 orchestrator -c clusters orchestrator

    -c all-instances orchestrator -c which-cluster some.instance.in.cluster orchestrator -c which-cluster-instances -alias mycluster orchestrator -c which-master some.instance orchestrator -c which-replicas some.instance orchestrator -c topology -alias mycluster CLI: information !

23. How people build software ! Agenda • Setting up orchestrator

    • Backend • Discovery • Refactoring • Detection & recovery • Scripting • HA • Roadmap 23 !

24. How people build software ! 24 orchestrator -c relocate 


    -i which.instance.to.relocate -d instance.below.which.to.relocate orchestrator -c relocate-replicas 
 -i instance.whose.replicas.to.relocate -d instance.below.which.to.relocate • Smart: let orchestrator figure out how to refactor: • GTID • Pseudo-GTID • Normal file:pos CLI: refactoring !

25. How people build software ! 25 orchestrator -c move-below 


    -i which.instance.to.relocate -d instance.below.which.to.relocate orchestrator -c move-up -i instance.to.move • file:pos specific CLI: refactoring !

26. How people build software ! 26 orchestrator -c set-read-only -i

    some.instance.com orchestrator -c set-writeable -i some.instance.com orchestrator -c stop-slave -i some.instance.com orchestrator -c start-slave -i some.instance.com orchestrator -c restart-slave -i some.instance.com orchestrator -c skip-query -i some.instance.com orchestrator -c detach-replica -i some.instance.com orchestrator -c reattach-replica -i some.instance.com • Using -c detach-replica to intentionally break replication, in a reversible way CLI: various commands !

27. How people build software ! 27 master=$(orchestrator -c which-cluster-master -alias

    mycluster) orchestrator -c which-cluster-instances -alias mycluster | while read i ; do \ orchestrator -c relocate -i $i -d $master \ done orchestrator -c which-replicas -i $master | while read i ; do \ orchestrator -c set-read-only -i $i \ done • Flatten a topology • Operate on all replicas • See also https://github.com/github/ccql • We’ll revisit shortly CLI: some fun !

28. How people build software ! 28 curl -s "http://localhost:3000/api/cluster/alias/mycluster" |

    jq . curl -s “http://localhost:3000/api/instance/some.host/3306" | jq . curl -s “http://localhost:3000/api/relocate/some.host/3306/another.host/3306” | jq . • The web interface is merely a facade for API calls • Anything done from CLI can be done from API API !

    [], "RecoverMasterClusterFilters": [ "thiscluster", "thatcluster" ], "RecoverIntermediateMasterClusterFilters": [ "*" ], } • Anti-flapping control • Old style, hostname/regexp based promotion black list • Which cluster to auto-failover? • Master / intermediate-master? Recovery: general recovery rules !

32. How people build software ! 32 orchestrator -c replication-analysis orchestrator

    -c recover -i a.dead.instance.com orchestrator -c ack-cluster-recoveries -i a.dead.instance.com orchestrator -c graceful-master-takeover -alias mycluster orchestrator -c force-master-takeover -i replica.to.forcefully.promote # danger zone orchestrator -c register-candidate -i candidate.replica --promotion-rule=prefer Recovery, CLI !

38. How people build software ! MySQL configuration advice • slave_net_timeout=4

    • Implies heartbeat period=2 • CHANGE MASTER TO 
 MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY=1, 
 MASTER_RETRY_COUNT=86400 • For Orchestrator to detect replication credentials, • master_info_repository=TABLE • Grants on mysql.slave_master_info 38 !
