20

What we look for when upgrading to a new major version?
Basically motivation for upgrades:
• Longer uptime and more dynamic configuration (avoid mysqld restart)
• Better performance related to
– Replication
– Concurrency
– Better stability under load
• Seamless upgrade path from existing 5.6 setup to using 5.7
• More features and flexible configuration
• Incorporation of features requested while using 5.6
• Better visibility of what MySQL is doing and where it is busy
21

What does 5.7 provide?
• Specific Features of Interest:
– Parallel Replication
– GTID migration possible on live system and no binlogs needed on slaves
– Dynamic InnoDB buffer pool size reconfiguration
– Dynamic replication configuration
– Improved cache preloading on startup (configurable percentage to load)
– InnoDB Fill-size – should be good for statistics tables which are write-once
– Loss-less semi-sync
• Plus others mentioned previously
22

Why booking.com tests MySQL 5.7 DMR releases
Testing of DMR releases has allowed us to:
• Preview potential new features and give feedback
• Check performance meets expectations
• Catch unexpected behaviour early
Resources required to do this are not significant

Upgrading MySQL - upgrade steps
If more than 1 master and slave the procedure is basically the same.
1. Make a new slave or upgrade an existing one
2. Configure /etc/my.cnf for 5.7
3. Change binaries
4. Start mysqld with replication stopped
5. Run: mysql_upgrade
6. Restart mysqld normally
7. Test…

What are the Risks?
For initial testing risks are minimal.
• If something breaks:
– throw it away, fix internal settings or
– report a bug
• With Cloud infrastructure it is easy to build a spare & test for a few hours
As you continue testing MySQL 5.7
• You control the rate of progress of deploying 5.7 slaves
• Easy to back out until right at the end (with 5.7 intermediate master)
• No application downtime except for the final move when you write to the
new 5.7 master.
28

Moving MySQL 5.7 into production – observations
• The setup of a new environment is simpler
– the new defaults require less cleanup
• Configuration changes in /etc/my.cnf
– Few required changes
• log_syslog
• innodb_buffer_pool_dump_pct
• show_compatibility_56
– Pay attention to changes in default values between 5.6 and 5.7
– We have had to add some extra settings
• Upgrading to 5.7 vs previous upgrades
– Slight changes in procedures but generally they are simpler
– Just run mysql_upgrade, no need for --skip-grant-tables
29

Moving MySQL 5.7 into production – observations (cont.)
• Grant management
– Procedures need to be MySQL version aware (new disable accounts vs old change
password)
– New ALTER USER is replication safe, but can’t use on master until all servers run 5.7
• Improve monitoring
• Add more checks
• Collect 5.7 specific metrics from performance_schema / sys
– Replication
– Memory usage
– Locks
30

Results of our MySQL 5.7 DMR testing
• 2 years following the evolution of MySQL 5.7 DMR
– First installed in 06/2013 (5.7.1_m11)
• We provided feedback on several issues, e.g.
– SQL_MODE changes caused problems with replication (5.6 to 5.7)
– ALTER, CREATE, DROP USER were not replication safe (5.6 to 5.7)
– Unexpected crashes on startup in some early releases of 5.7
– Parallel Replication
• MySQL engineering responded to these issues
– No longer an issue in the recently announced GA version
– Avoided potential breakage in a GA version where functional changes would have
been impossible/undesirable
• Now 5.7 is GA we are in a good state to start to roll out more aggressively
