[question] MariaDB compatibility #725

Open pznamensky opened 5 years ago

pznamensky commented 5 years ago

Hi, We're going to update our MariaDB servers up to v10.3 and probably play with 10.4 because of cool instant alter feature. In the meantime, gh-ost is one of the most critical tools we rely (thank you!). We've played with gh-ost and MariaDB 10.3 and everything looks fine. But to be sure, could you please say what current status of compatibility is with MariaDB? Is it safe to use gh-ost with MariaDB? (Didn't find any notes about it)

Thanks.

@shlomi-noach, could you please clarify if gh-ost tested with MariaDB?

shlomi-noach commented 5 years ago

@pznamensky gh-ost is not tested with MariaDB. I hear from occasional users it works with MariaDB, but not tested.

Sorry for the late reply, by the way. You'll be happy to know you should be good to test it in production without risk: https://github.com/github/gh-ost/blob/master/doc/testing-on-replica.md

Thanks for the reply. And you're right, testing on a replica is a good idea.
