When your primary database goes down it's really one of the worst feelings in the world. If drizzle natively supported master failover (automating the 12 step process mysql has [as outlined by the new mysql book]), it would save millions of man hours in the world and reduce stress of developers/systems folks globally :). > > However, the replication needs to support master fail-over by ensuring > that enough data are at the slave to be able to start replicating from > another master if the first one goes down, and that is planned. > I'm not exactly sure what would be required from an ACID standpoint, but if it can be solved it would be awesome. I'm not sure what RightScale does exactly (I've never used their product), but I think they support automated master failover. It would be neat for this to be just a feature of drizzle. > > Just my few cents, > Mats Kindahl > > > > > M > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Mailing list: > > https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss<https://launchpad.net/%7Edrizzle-discuss> > > Post to : [email protected] > > Unsubscribe : > > https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss<https://launchpad.net/%7Edrizzle-discuss> > > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > > > -- > Mats Kindahl > Lead Software Developer > Replication Team > MySQL AB, www.mysql.com >
