Today I cried in the bathroom of my work place because your mom snap chatted a picture of your bunk bed being taken down and it reminded me that we are no longer kids playing pretend. Probably if you were gonna come back you would have by now. How things always change but some how you stay nestled in between my rib cage. I think I'm trying to say I'm sorry but it keeps coming out as poems or hysterical crying fits or in any way other than managing to let the words verbally manifest. I'm sorry that I keep writing you poems but it's been nearly six months and I still feel like something is missing. Like I'm lopsided. How I'd give all ten fingers and toes for you, but then I couldn't write you poems. I wouldn't have to anymore cause you would be here. I don't write down the details to try to make you feel ashamed of yourself or drown in guilt. I just don't want you to forget me the way everyone else seems to forget me. I write these poems so that I don't forget you, because letting you go would be like giving up all ten fingers and toes, no more poems or words. Because it means it was all meaningless. The voices in my head prophets, always doomed to lose the ones I love. I'm sorry because you do not have to mend this and I keep asking you to. I'm sorry for all the wrong and for loving you so much. I'm sorry with all my ten fingers and toes. I'm sorry I can't forget you.
— 10 fingers and 10 toes

Waking Times
Few are as familiar with pain as professional mixed martial arts fighters. It's a brutal blood sport which taxes the body severely in the rigorous training it takes to become a winner, and fighters can suffer serious injuries during bouts. Bas Rutten is a former world champion turned celebrity announcer, trainer and now advocate of cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) oil as an alternative to destructive opioids for pain management.
In a recent article, Bas tells the story of heavyweight fighter Mark Kerr who became addicted to opioids in order to endure the pain of fighting, ultimately wrecking his body, life and career.
"It was hard to watch Mark Kerr fall, but he should be proud of the fact that he came clean because I am certain it DID affect some people and those folks learned not to fall into the trap of using painkillers themselves." ~Bas Rutten
Bas himself even developed an addiction to opioids at one point in his career, but was able to kick them after some time, ultimately discovering the benefits of CBD oil, which he now uses regularly.
"As for my own experience with CBD, it saved me a lot of trouble after I realized that I had a painkiller problem that started after my last fight in 2006. About five weeks before the fight, all my injuries came back with a vengeance. It starts with one pill, then it becomes two, four, seven, ten, and slowly but surely, you are upping the count, and before you know it, you're taking insane amounts of painkillers.
So, my doctor told me that there is a lot of Tylenol in Vicodin, even some in Norco, and that would be bad for my liver since I take so many. My doctor told me, "it's better you go to oxycontin." I did, and boy that stuff is horrible. Sure you feel good, but it doesn't help with the pain after a while, and you just take it because you are hooked.
Thankfully, I came to that realization pretty quickly and took care of it. It wasn't as easy as I am communicating to you right now, but that story is for another time. What I want to say is that if there would have been CBD at that time, I might have not become addicted to painkillers. I really hope that all fighters and other athletes will use CBD instead of painkillers." ~Bas Rutten
Bas also understands the depth of the national opioid crisis and just how profitable this is for the medical industry, and he's using his forum to promote a healthy alternative to painkillers, which is important for people to know before they experience an accident or something which causes severe, chronic pain, as it can take as little as a week of regular use for someone to develop a long-term addiction to opioids.
"Painkillers are the drugs that the country wants to sell to you. They don't want you to buy weed because they want you to buy their drugs. Alcohol is good at dulling pain as well, yet in 2010, its misuse cost the United States $249-billion. That's a lot of money.
About 88,000 people die here in the States due to alcohol-related incidents like car accidents, shootings, etc. That is, if I do my math correctly, about 240 deaths a day, 10 an hour—that's a death every six minutes. Painkiller overdoses equate to 46 deaths a day, and that's not including what junkies do—kill, rob and beat up innocent people for drug money." ~Bas Rutten
I #LoveCBD because it has restored my energy, strength, and endurance. I heard my kisses are also much softer What do you think @Rileecoyote? Tell us what you think by using #LoveCBD in a post on #Instagram and you could win free #CBD products from @ReceptraNaturals ! Visit BasCBD.com to get yours! @adams1212 @baiano97 @LRaptor @Ianheinischmma #hemp #Receptra #cbd #ufc #health #wellness #contest
Final Thoughts
And Bas is right. In states where cannabis is legal, opioid use is plummeting. Senior citizens are now the fastest growing demographic of cannabis users, choosing to ditch dizzying pharmaceuticals for pain and other health conditions associated with aging. And numerous medical studies are confirming CBD's efficacy as a painkiller.
Bas Rutten is an inspiration and an example for many, and he speaks with authority on how the miracle of CBD to treat pain. When he speaks, people listen, therefore it's admirable that he's taking a strong position in favor of cannabis as a natural and effective medicine.
"So now, with #CBD, one can no longer deny the painkilling effects that scientists found in numerous studies. The movement cannot be stopped now." ~Bas Rutten

This is an attractive, comfortable hotel. The rooms are nicely appointed. The bathrooms are small but clean and obviously recently refurbished. There is plenty of hot water and the shower was good. The only down side was that my room faced the street and I was disturbed by the sound of revellers at the bar opposite (which didn't stop until past 2am), even though the window was closed.
Breakfast was good: juice, yoghurts, breads, jams, fruit, cheese, meat, boiled eggs, croissants etc etc. Hot drinks were brought to the table by a very nice waiter who remembered what I ordered and brought my coffee without being asked. The coffee, with hot milk, was excellent. I didn't eat there in the evening so can't comment.
The hotel is ideally situated right by the Tovière lift and close to bars and restaurants and to a good ski hire shop.
I liked the lockers with heaters for the boots and the fact that there was a code needed to get into the ski room. The system at the last hotel I stayed in (in Serre Chevalier) was nowhere near as good and skis were stolen the week I was there.
It was good to have a drink in the bar when we got back from the slopes. Prices were reasonable and the drinks came with nibbles.
It was odd that reception was not staffed until 9am, which meant that there was no-one to deal with queries before most people were setting off for the day.
I would definitely stay here again, although I would request a room on the other side of the hotel.

New research on a little-known dinosaur called the Nigersaurus shows that the elephant-sized creature had a bizarre anatomy, including a vacuum cleaner-like head that it kept permanently pointed at the ground.
The findings suggest that many plant-eating dinosaurs may have grazed like cows, rather than nibbling leaves like giraffes.

Prime Minister John Key says he was on holiday when he was said to have been briefed by the SIS over its intention to release sensitive documents to blogger Cameron Slater.
Key has faced more questions today about the fast-tracking and declassification of Security Intelligence Service (SIS) documents released to Slater in 2011.
Key is the minister responsible for the SIS.
> Share this story on Facebook
Slater used the documents to embarrass Phil Goff, who was then Labour Party leader.
Leaked emails suggest he knew about the contents of the OIA in advance and the request was expedited, even though requests from other media for the document were turned down.
Chief Ombudsman Dame Beverly Wakem has backed Key, after a letter from her office emerged today. The letter referred to a "discussion" with Key about the release of documents to Slater.
Earlier, a letter from former SIS director Warren Tucker had emerged. It said Tucker had informed Key about the release. He then clarified that to say he meant Key's office.
In the second letter, to NewstalkZB and dated October 31, 2011, Wakem referred to Tucker having a "discussion" with Key about the release.
In a conversation Wakem had with Tucker, he had told her he was "prepared to release a statement regarding his discussion with the prime minister", the letter said.
"Ms Wakem is of the view that there is good reason to withhold Dr Tucker's full recollection of his discussion with the prime minister."
Wakem said this afternoon she was "very clear" that the director of security communicated with the offices of the prime minister and the leader of the Opposition on this matter.
"In the letter that was written on my behalf while I was away but which had been discussed with me the word 'discussion' is probably loosely used and may have given rise to an impression that there was a direct approach - there wasn't, and there hasn't been," she told Newstalk ZB.
Key said from time to time he had had discussions with Tucker about the release of OIAs.
"But prior to the release of this one I didn't have any discussions at all. "
He had got back from holiday on July 31 and the discussions about the OIA took place before that.
The release went out on August 2 but there was no discussion between him and Tucker about it.
"He did deal with my office but the claims that have been made ... that there was political interference that's absolutely not true."
Tucker had confirmed to him this morning he understood the law perfectly correctly that requires him to be politically neutral.
"He made the decisions around that."
Key said Tucker had briefed someone in his office. He would not name the person, but said it was not Jason Ede.
He said he didn't think he was ever told the OIA was going out prior to its release but he knew Goff had been briefed on the Israelis because Tucker had told him that and it was standard procedure.
He said the explanation he had been given for why it was released promptly to Slater was that it had little in it "and Mr Goff was effectively defaming Mr Tucker so it was an issue between the two of them."
Tucker was trying to say he had not been wrong in saying he had briefed Goff.
"I can categorically tell you I was not involved in that process prior to it being released."
He did not have any details and had not asked those in his office about how Slater had known it would be "devastating for Goff" before it was released.
Key repeated the book was a smear from the left, presented in a way to discredit the government.
He said New Zealanders would make up their own mind on that.

Forsyth County clerk's office pushing for online court records
Forsyth County's clerk of court, Susan Frye, is pushing for the county to become the first in the state to put many court records online, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
According to the newspaper, Frye would like to initially make documents such as foreclosure notices available online, and broaden the scope to include lawsuit filings, so that the information can be more accessible to attorneys and the public. Frye has already placed general information about divorces, estates, special proceedings, jury duty and other issues on the clerk's website — www.ncfcc.us – but no judicial district in the state has online access to court records.
That puts the state's district and superior courts behind its appellate courts — the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court — that now offer dockets, filings and court opinions via the Internet. Likewise, federal courts offer extensive access to court documents, though there is typically a fee to view documents.
Frye and her staff are developing a database of foreclosure notices and filings and have received the support of the state, according to the Journal.
"NCAOC is collaborating with Clerk Frye to develop this tool and make it available to clerk of court offices statewide," John W. Smith, director of the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts, told the Journal in a written statement. "We currently are working to free up technology staff resources and assign them to start developing this tool by May."

Percona Live 2017: Beringei – Facebook's Open Source, In-Memory Time Series Database (TSDB)
So that is just about a wrap here at Percona Live 2017 – except for the closing comments and prize giveaway. Before we leave, I have one more session to highlight: Facebook's Beringei.
Beringei is Facebook's open source, in-memory time series database. Justin Teller, Engineering Manager at Facebook, presented the session. According to Justin, large-scale monitoring systems cannot handle large-scale analysis in real time because the query performance is too slow. After evaluating and rejecting several disk-based and existing in-memory cache solutions, Facebook turned their attention to writing their own in-memory TSDB to power the health and performance monitoring system at Facebook. They presented "Gorilla: A Fast, Scalable, In-Memory Time Series Database (http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf)" at VLDB 2015.
In December 2016, they open sourced the majority of that work with Beringei (https://github.com/facebookincubator/beringei). In this talk, Justin started by presenting how Facebook uses this database to serve production monitoring workloads at Facebook, with an overview of how they use it as the basis for a disaster-ready, high-performance distributed system. He closed by presenting some new performance analysis comparing (favorably) Beringei to Prometheus. Prometheus is an open source TSDB whose time series compression was inspired by the Gorilla VLDB paper and has similar compression behavior.
After the talk, Justin was kind enough to speak briefly with me. Check it out:
It's been a great conference, and we're looking forward to seeing you all at Percona Live Europe!
Percona Live 2017: Hawkular Metrics, An Overview
The place is still frantic here at Percona Live 2017 as everybody tries to squeeze in a few more talks before the end of the day. One such talk was given by Red Hat's Stefan Negrea on Hawkular Metrics.
Hawkular Metrics is a scalable, long-term, high-performance storage engine for metric data. The session was an overview of the project that includes the history of the project, an overview of the Hawkular ecosystem, technical details of the project, developer features and APIs and third party integrations.
Hawkular Metrics is backed by Cassandra for scalability. Hawkular Metrics is used and exposed by Hawkular Services.The API uses JSON to communicate with clients.
Users of Hawkular Metrics include:
- IoT enthusiasts who need to collect metrics, and possibly trigger alerts
- Operators who are looking for a solution to store metrics from statsD, collectd, syslog
- Developers of solutions who need long-term time series database storage
- Users of ManageIQ who are looking for Middleware management
- Users of Kubernetes/Heapster who want to store Docker container metrics in a long-term time series database storage, thanks to the Heapster sink for Hawkular.
Stefan was kind enough to speak with me after the talk. Check it out below:

Percona Live 2017: Lessons Learned While Automating MySQL Deployments in the AWS Cloud
The last day of Percona Live 2017 is still going strong, with talks all the way until 4:00 pm (and closing remarks and a prize giveaway on the main stage then). I'm going to a few more sessions today, including one from Stephane Combaudon from Slice Technologies: Lessons learned while automating MySQL deployments in the AWS Cloud.
In this talk, Stephane discussed how automating deployments is a key success factor in the cloud. It is actually a great way to leverage the flexibility of the cloud. But often while automation is not too difficult for application code, it is much harder for databases. When Slice started automating their MySQL servers at Slice, they chose simple and production-proven components: Chef to deploy files, MHA for high availability and Percona XtraBackup for backups. But they faced several problems very quickly:
- How do you maintain an updated list of MySQL servers in the MHA configuration when servers can be automatically stopped or started?
- How can you coordinate your servers for them to know that they need to be configured as a master or as a replica?
- How do you write complex logic with Chef without being trapped with Chef's two pass model?
- How can you handle clusters with different MySQL versions, or a single cluster where all members do not use the same MySQL version?
- How can you get reasonable backup and restore time when the dataset is over 1TB and the backups are stored on S3?
This session discussed the errors Slice made, and the solutions they found while tackling MySQL automation.
Stephane was kind enough to let me speak with him after the talk: check it out below:

Percona Live 2017: Day Three Keynotes
Welcome to the third (and final) day of the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017, and the third (and final) set of Percona Live keynotes! The enthusiasm hasn't waned here at Percona Live, and we had a full house on Thursday morning!
Day three of the conference kicked off with three keynotes talks, and ended with the Community Awards Ceremony:
Spinaltap: Airbnb's Change Data Capture System
Xinyao Hu (AirBnB)
In this talk, Xinyao introduced Airbnb's change data change system, Spinaltap. He briefly covered its design, and focused on various use cases inside Airbnb. These use cases covered both online serving production and offline large distributed batch processing.
How Percona Contributes to the Open Source Database Ecosystem
Peter Zaitsev (Percona)
Peter Zaitsev, CEO of Percona, discussed the growth and adoption of open source databases, and Percona's commitment to remaining an unbiased champion of the open source database ecosystem. Percona remains committed to providing open source support and solutions to its customers, users and the community. He also provided updates and highlighted exciting new developments in Percona Server software for MySQL and MongoDB.
Monitoring Booking.com without looking at MySQL
Jean-François Gagné (Booking.com)
Jean-François Gagné presented a fascinating talk about using a metric for observing Booking.com's system health: bookings per second. It wasn't a technical deep-dive (not MySQL- or Linux-related) but it is one of the most important metric Booking.com has to detect problems (and customer behavior) on the website. Many things impact this metric, including the time of the day, the day of the week or the season of the year.
Daniel Nichter (Square), Emily Slocombe (SurveyMonkey)
The MySQL Community Awards initiative is an effort to acknowledge and thank individuals and corporations for their contributions to the MySQL ecosystem. It is a from-the-community, by-the-community and for-the-community effort. Awards are given for Community Contributor, Application, and Corporate Contributor. More information can be found here: http://mysqlawards.org.
This year's winners were:
- Community: René Cannaò, Simon Mudd, Shlomi Noach
- Application: Sysbench, Gh-ost
- Corporate: GitHub, Percona
Congrats to the winners, the entire open source community, and to all the Percona Live attendees this year. There are still sessions today, check them out.
It's been a great conference, and we're looking forward to seeing you all at Percona Live Europe!
Percona Live 2017: MySQL Makes Toast
Every day at Percona Live 2017 brings something new and unusual – and on this particular day, we found out that MySQL makes toast.
A lot of people think that with MySQL and open source software, you can do anything. While many might view this metaphorically, Percona's Alexander Rubin (Principal Consultant) takes this statement very seriously. He demonstrated on Tuesday at Percona Live that not only is possible to accomplish just about anything with MySQL, but MySQL makes toast!
Originally, Alexander took on this project to provide an open source fix for MySQL Bug#2 (MySQL Doesn't Make Toast). After some effort, and some ingenuity, he provided a patch for the infamous bug.
(You can find out all the details in his blog post here.)
Read up on how this was accomplished, and check out the pics below of Alexander demonstrating his ingenious method of grilling breakfast bread!

Percona Live 2017: Database Management Made Simple – Amazon RDS
Percona Live 2017 is done for Wednesday, but there was still time to get in one more talk before tonight's Community Networking Reception – and the last one of the evening was about Amazon RDS.
Darin Briskman, Lead Developer Outreach & Technical Evangelist for Amazon, held two back-to-back sessions on Database management made simple – Amazon RDS. Amazon Relational Database Service (or Amazon RDS) is a distributed relational database service by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Darin reviewed how Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. He showed how it provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you to focus on your applications and business. This talk provided guidance and tips for optimizing MySQL-compatible workloads on RDS.
Darin was kind enough to speak with me about his talk afterward. Check it out below:

Percona Live 2017: Histograms in MySQL and MariaDB
The afternoon at Percona Live 2017 is slipping by quickly, and people are still actively looking for sessions to attend – like the session I just sat in on histograms in MySQL and MariaDB.
Histograms are a type of column statistic that provides more detailed information about data distributions in table columns. A histogram sorts values into buckets.
MariaDB Server has had histograms since MariaDB 10.0. Now, MySQL 8.0 will have them too. This session presented an overview of histogram implementations in MariaDB, MySQL 8.0, and looked at PostgreSQL for comparison. The session covered everything about histograms:
- Why do query optimizers need histograms
- What are the costs of collecting and maintaining a histogram in each database
- How the query optimizers use histogram data
- What are the strong and weak points of histogram implementation in each database
At the end, Sergei talked a bit about a related development in MariaDB Server: the optimizer will have the capability of using constraints.
Sergei was kind enough to speak briefly with me after his talk on histograms in MySQL and MariaDB. Check it out below:

Percona Live 2017: Deploying MongoDB on Public Clouds
Today at Percona Live 2017, the afternoon is jam-packed with open source technology lectures filled with community members eager for the latest on the best strategies – including how you should deploy MongoDB on public clouds.
Dharshan Rangegowda (CEO of ScaleGrid) discussed deploying MongoDB on public clouds. ScaleGrid provides a fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solution used today by thousands of developers, startups, and enterprise customers. In this session, Dharshan talked about how public clouds like AWS and Azure have become very popular platforms over the past few years. These public clouds provide a plethora of infrastructure features to help make life easier, He dug into the features/assets that one should be actively leveraging.
On the flip side, there are also a number of potential pitfalls that require attention and might need a workaround. Dharshan reviewed some common architecture patterns you need to have in place to be successful with MongoDB on the public cloud, including high availability, disaster recovery, scaling, performance and others.
After the lecture, Dharshan was kind enough to talk briefly with me about his session. Check it out:

Percona Live 2017: A Deep-Dive Into What's New in Amazon Aurora
Percona Live 2017 is rolling along, and now that everybody got through lunch we're all recharged and ready for the afternoon. Let's start it out with Amazon Aurora.
Once of the best-attended sessions was Sailesh Krishnamurthy's (Senior Engineering Manager at Amazon Web Services) talk on a deep dive into what is new in Amazon Aurora. Amazon Aurora is a fully managed relational database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It is purpose-built for the cloud using a new architectural model and distributed systems techniques to provide far higher performance, availability and durability than previously possible using conventional monolithic database architectures.
Amazon Aurora packs a lot of innovations in the engine and storage layers. In this session, Sailesh looked at some of the key innovations behind Amazon Aurora, new improvements to Aurora's performance, availability and cost-effectiveness and discussed best practices and optimal configurations.

Percona Live 2017: Day Two Keynotes
Welcome to the second day of the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017, and the second set of Percona Live keynotes! It's a bit rainy outside today, but that isn't bothering the Percona Live attendees (we're all indoors learning about new open source technologies)!
Day two of the conference kicked off with another four keynote talks, all of which discussed issues and technologies that are addressed by open source solutions:
The Open Source Database Business Model is Under Siege
Paul Dix (InfluxData)
Paul Dix's keynote may have ruffled a few feathers, as he looked at possible futures for the open source software model (and community). The traditional open source infrastructure business model relied on the backing company providing either support and professional services or closed source tools to provide additional functionality like production tooling, enhanced security and monitoring. For a time this model was good, and it worked. But will it be feasible in the future to maintain this model, given the nature of how markets are developing? Paul discussed various reasons why he thinks the answer is "no."
Keynote Panel (Percona, VividCortex, Continuent)
Richard Hipp (SQLite.org), Baron Schwartz (VividCortex), MC Brown(Continuent), Peter Zaitsev (Percona)
Join Percona and the Diamond sponsors of the conference, VividCortex and Continuent to talk database trends. They provided their thoughts on Paul's talk (above), time series data and database development, whether SQL databases should continue to develop for "niche" functions and what we should be looking for at Percona Live 2020.
MySQL 8.0: Powering the next generation of Web, SaaS, Cloud
Tomas Ulin (Oracle)
Tomas Ulin, VP of MySQL Engineering at Oracle, provided this morning's audience with a big picture overview of MySQL 8.0 development priorities, features that are available, and what is coming in upcoming releases. He covered MySQL 5.7, MySQL 8.0 and InnoDB Cluster. He also discussed MySQL's roadmap and featured some benchmark performance comparisons.
The Future Of Monitoring Is Distributed
Baron Schwartz (VividCortex)
Baron Schwartz of VividCortex gave an insightful lecture on "observability" in the data layer. The world of technology is undergoing a rapid and permanent shift. He pointed out how we all know that we're moving to the cloud at an accelerating pace. The fundamental change that's taking place today is that our applications are far more distributed than they've ever been, in nearly invisible ways. And that's not good, because invisible means unmeasurable. He posited that "observability" is the new goal for all the data that is available to businesses, and that businesses should make decisions based on what the data says about what customers want.
All the keynotes today highlighted the many different aspects of the open source database community that come together to solve database challenges. Percona Live runs through Thursday 4/27. Check out tomorrow's keynotes here, as well as the numerous breakout sessions with top open source database experts.
Migrate from TokuMX to Percona Server for MongoDB
This blog post details how to migrate from TokuMX to Percona Server for MongoDB.
As part of our ongoing plans to embrace the MongoDB community, we have increased support and software around MongoDB. Percona's last release of the TokuMX software platform was on September 15th, 2015. Percona is announcing a General EOL of TokuMX Support as of May 1st, 2017.
If you are currently a MongoDB Support customer running TokuMX, we highly recommend migrating to Percona Server for MongoDB 3.4.x (and the WiredTiger or MongoRocks storage engine). We would be happy to assist in this migration through our regular Support and Consulting communications channels.A Brief History of TokuMX
A group of engineers at TokuTek started the TokuMX project. The TokuFT fractal tree engine, now called PerconaFT, was already implemented as the MySQL storage engine plug-in known as TokuDB. The group needed new database technologies where a fractal tree might be of use. MongoDB 2.2 had serious performance limitations and inadequate concurrency and durability, making it a good candidate. The team committed the first work on TokuMX to the source tree in September of 2012. TokuMX v1.0 was released by June 2013.
When TokuMX was first implemented, there was no storage engine interface in the MongoDB code. This meant that the integration of the fractal tree required considerable changes to the base code of MongoDB 2.x. They made very impressive performance gains and implemented a full SQL-style stateful transaction interface. This allowed multi-operation, multi-document, and multi-collection concurrent transactions to remain consistent.
In mid-2014, MongoDB, Inc. began work on a storage engine API in the 2.7 development code base. A few months later, the MongoDB storage engine implementation of TokuFT began as a project known as TokuMXse. This became the basis for the PerconaFT storage engine in Percona Server for MongoDB 3.0. During this time, MongoDB, Inc. also worked closely with WiredTiger to implement their high-speed storage engine which also provided better concurrency and durability. In December of 2014, MongoDB, Inc. acquired WiredTiger. The WiredTiger storage engine was released with MongoDB 3.0.0 a few months later in March 2015.
The reason Percona Server for MongoDB does not implement stateful transactions:
Unfortunately, some core design decisions in MongoDB 3.x made it impractical to implement the stateful transactions that SQL databases and TokuMX have. The MongoDB 3.x storage engine API is very closely tied to a concurrency model known as optimistic concurrency. This is implemented using C++ exceptions which throw and retry a single operation until it doesn't conflict with another. This strategy has advantages and disadvantages. Developers don't need to worry about implementing advanced transaction handlers for deadlocks and rollbacks. However, MongoDB doesn't support transactions that involve multiple operations, documents or collections defined and controlled by the user application. MongoDB can't implement this without far-reaching modifications to the MongoDB code base.
Without a major redesign of the MongoDB 3.x storage engine layer and the higher level database code, SQL style stateful transactions will not be possible. The MongoDB 3.x design also dramatically reduced the performance of the fractal tree engine which is designed around the traditional ACID model and does not support optimistic concurrency. As a result, we deprecated the fractal tree engine (PerconaFT) and removed it from Percona Server for MongoDB 3.4.
Performing a Migration
There are a few things to consider before beginning migration. Percona Server for MongoDB doesn't implement a few TokuMX features.
Some TokuMX commands that are not available in PSMDB
- Stateful transaction commands
- beginTransaction
- rollbackTransaction
- commitTransaction
- Bulk loader commands
- beginLoad
- commitLoad
- abortLoad
- Partition commands
- addPartition
- dropPartition
- getPartitionInfo
- replAddPartition
- clonePartitionInfo
If your application depends on these features, migration may require some changes to function correctly. You will also want to review the upstream MongoDB 2.x to 3.x documentation as well as the custom commands section of the TokuMX documentation to identify differences between the versions.
There are two methods to migrate your data from TokuMX to Percona Server for MongoDB. We've documented the methods in a Percona Lab GitHub repository.
- Offline migration. Easier, requires more downtime
- Online "Zero Downtime" migration. More involved, requires zero (or minimal) downtime
If you have any questions or concerns about your TokuMX to Percona Server for MongoDB migration, please contact Percona Support. We are here to help 24x7x365 online or by phone.
Percona Live 2017: Real-Time Data Loading from MySQL and Oracle into Analytics/Big Data
It looks like the first day of the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017 is coming to a close. Before we shut it down for today, we'll look at a presentation on Real-Time Data Loading from MySQL and Oracle into Analytics/Big Data.
In this session, Continuent's VP of Products MC Brown looked at Tungsten Replicator, which enables real-time and efficient replication of data from your transactional database. He focused on the filtering side, for massaging your data before/during replication.
Continuent is back with their Tungsten Replicator product, after splitting off from VMware. You can learn more about that process from the earlier keynote session today.
During this session, MC covered various solutions used by Continuent's customers, some of the complex deployment models, and how that information can be modified as part of the load into analytics targets. He also looked into how to replicate to non-transactional environments and how to customize and develop your own appliers and customizations. This included an examination of the applier system and the JavaScript environment for batch applications.
MC was kind enough to speak with me after his session. Check it out below:

Percona Live 2017: Designing your SaaS Database for Scale with Postgres
The Percona Live Open Source Data Conference 2017 day one is rolling right along, and we're already in the afternoon sessions. In this blog, we'll look at Citus Data's presentation on how to design your SaaS database to scale with Postgres.
If you're building a SaaS application, you probably already have the notion of tenancy built in your data model. Typically, most information relates to tenants/customers/accounts and your database tables capture this natural relation. With smaller amounts of data, it's easy to throw more hardware at the problem and scale up your database. As these tables grow, however, you need to think about ways to scale your multi-tenant database across dozens or hundreds of machines. In this talk, Citus Data's Lukas Fittl and Ozgun Erdogan (CTO) talked about the motivations behind scaling your SaaS (multi-tenant) database and several heuristics they found helpful in deciding when to scale.
They then described three design patterns that are common in scaling SaaS databases:
- Create one database per tenant
- Create one schema per tenant
- Have all tenants share the same table(s).
Next, they highlighted the tradeoffs involved with each design pattern and focused on one pattern that scales to hundreds of thousands of tenants. They also shared an example architecture from the industry that describes this pattern in more detail. Lastly, they talked about key PostgreSQL properties, such as semi-structured data types, that make building multi-tenant applications easy.
After the talk, Lukas and Ozgun were kind enough to speak with me about their session. Check it out below:

Percona Live 2017 – MySQL 8.0: Major New Features
Breakout sessions are in full swing at the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017. Check out what's new in MySQL 8.0.
We've finished with this morning's sessions, and this morning saw a lot of amazing open source talks. One of the most well-attended was MySQL 8.0: Major New Features given by Geir Høydalsvik, Senior Software Development Director at Oracle. MySQL is the next major version of the MySQL platform from Oracle, the open source community is expectantly waiting for the official release.
In this session, Geir described many of the new features announced for MySQL 8.0. In addition to Data Dictionary, CTEs and Windows functions, the session covered:
- Move to utf8 (mb4) as MySQL's default character set

Percona Live 2017: Day One Keynotes
Welcome to the first day of the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017, and the first set of Percona Live keynotes!
It's a beautiful day in Santa Clara, but we don't know because we're inside the Hyatt Regency Convention Center listening to various rock stars in the open source database community talk about open source technologies. Day one of the conference kicked off with four keynote talks, all of which discussed issues and technologies that are addressed by open source solutions:
Peter Zaitsev (Percona)
Peter Zaitsev, CEO of Percona, welcomed everyone to Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017 and discussed the history of Percona Live. Percona Live has grown significantly over the years, changing from just a MySQL conference into an open source database technology conference. This change has mirrored the growth and acceptance of open source technologies in what traditionally were commercial marketplaces.
Continuent is back! But what does Continuent do Anyway?
Eero Teerikorpi, MC Brown (Continuent)
Eero Teerikorpi from Continuent discussed how Continuent as a company has developed over the years – from startup to acquisition by VMware back to separate entity, with regards to its Tungsten database replication and clustering product. Eero explained how Continuent's swan logo represents it's long relationship it has had with its customers, and how its Tungsten product is an outstanding replication solution. Eero asked select Continuent customers to tell everyone about how they use their multi-site/multi-master and advanced replication solutions, and explain how Tungsten helped them solve database replication issues.
Open Source Database Ecosystem
Peter Zaitsev (Percona), Colin Charles (Percona), Dmitry Andreev (Yandex), Justin Teller (Facebook), Tal Levy (Elastic Search), Björn Rabenstein (SoundCloud Ltd.), Paul Dix (InfluxData), Michael J. Freedman (TimescaleDB)
For our third keynote, we had a panel of speakers from a variety of open source companies: Yandex, Facebook, Elastic Search, SoundCloud, InfluxData,TimescaleDB and of course Percona. The topic was the explosion of time series data. Percona sees time series databases as a trend of 2017, hence the idea of having quick 5-minute lightning talks from projects that are stellar. With the increasing availability of IoT devices and the data they provide, time series data is more and more important in the database landscape. All of these companies provide people with an interest in capturing, monitoring, and analyzing time series data could use their various solutions for that purpose.
SQLite: The Most Important Software Component That Many People Have Never Heard Of
Richard Hipp (SQLite.org)
The final keynote this morning was a discussion with the creator of SQLite, one of the most used RDBMS. Rather than use a client-server model, SQLite is embedded in the application. There are more instances of SQLite running today than all other database engines combined. This talk reviewed the features, capabilities, limitations, and usage patterns of SQLite and asks why you are not using SQLite more yourself.
All the keynotes today highlighted the many different aspects of the open source database community that come together to solve database challenges. Percona Live runs through Thursday 4/27. Check out tomorrow's keynotes here, as well as the numerous breakout sessions with top open source database experts.
Percona Live 2017 Tutorials Day
Welcome to the first day of the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference: Percona Live 2017 tutorials day! While technically the first day of the conference, this day focused on provided hands-on tutorials for people interested in learning directly how to use open source tools and technologies.
Today attendees went to training sessions taught by open source database experts and got first-hand experience configuring, working with, and experimenting with various open source technologies and software.
The first full day (which includes opening keynote speakers and breakout sessions) starts Tuesday 4/25 at 9:00 am.
Some of the tutorial topics covered today were:
MySQL Performance Schema in Action
Sveta Smirnova, Alexander Rubin
Performance Schema in MySQL is becoming more mature from version to version. In version 5.7, it includes extended lock instrumentation, memory usage statistics, new tables for server variables, first time ever instrumentation for user variables, prepared statements and stored routines. In this tutorial Sveta and Alexander helped the participants try these new instruments out. They provided a test environment and a few typical problems that were hard to solve before MySQL 5.7.
Just a few examples: "Where is memory going?" , "Why do these queries hang?", "How huge is the overhead of my stored procedures?", "Why are queries waiting for metadata locks?". Attendees learned how to collect and use this information.
Best Practices for MySQL High Availability in 2017
Colin Charles
The MySQL world is full of tradeoffs, and choosing a high availability (HA) solution is no exception. This session aims to look at all of the alternatives in an unbiased nature. Topics covered included but weren't limited to MySQL replication, MHA, DRBD, Tungsten Replicator, Galera Cluster, NDB Cluster, Vitess, etc. The focus of the talk was what is recommended for today, and what to look out for.
InnoDB Architecture and Performance Optimization
Peter Zaitsev
InnoDB is the most commonly used storage engine for MySQL and Percona Server and is the focus for the majority of storage engine development by the MySQL and Percona Server teams. This tutorial looked at the InnoDB architecture, including new developments in MySQL 5.6 as well as Percona Server. It provided specific advice on server configuration, schema design, application architecture, and hardware choices.
MongoDB 101: What NoSQL is All About
Jon Tobin, Rick GolbaBarrett Chambers
MongoDB is quickly becoming one of the NoSQL standards, but represents a very different way of thinking from traditional RDBMSs. Many database users tend to think of things from the perspective of the transactional DBs that they know and love, but there are other ways of doing things. The Percona Solutions Engineering team helped attendees fill out their database resume and become a more knowledgeable user by showing them the basics. This tutorial gave users with little or no experience with NoSQL databases an introduction to MongoDB.
Join us tomorrow for the first full day of the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017!
Improved wsrep-stages and related instrumentation in Percona XtraDB Cluster
In this blog post, we'll look at how we've improved wsrep-stages and related instrumentation in Percona XtraDB Cluster.Introduction
When you execute a workload and need to find out what the given thread is working on, "SHOW PROCESSLIST" comes to the top of your mind. It is an effective way to track the thread status. We decided to improve the stages in Percona XtraDB Cluster to make "SHOW PROCESSLIST" more meaningful.
In the blog below, we will check out the different wsrep-stages and the significance associated with them.Loading of data
Running a simple insert/sysbench prepare workload. The state is stable as it mainly captures MySQL stages indicating that the table is being updated:| 9 | root | localhost | test | Query | 0 | update | INSERT INTO sbtest3(id, k, c, pad) VALUES(893929,515608,'28459951974-62599818307-78562787160-7859397 | 0 | 0 | Running UPDATE workload
Running simple sysbench update-key workload. Let's look at the different states that the user sees and their significance. (MASTER and SLAVE states are different and are marked accordingly.)
MASTER view:
- This stage indicates that the write-set is trying to replicate. Global sequence numbers are assigned after the write-set is replicated and so the global-seqno is currently -1:
- This stage indicates successful replication of the write-set. This means the write-set is now added to the group-channel. Global-seqno is updated in the message too:
- This stage indicates the write-set has successfully passed the certification stage (making its path clear for commit):
- This stage indicates that InnoDB commit has been triggered for the write-set:
SLAVE/Replicating node view:
- This stage indicates that the slave thread is trying to commit the replicated write-set with the given seqno. It is likely waiting for its turn of the CommitMonitor:
- This stage indicates a successful commit of the replicated write-set with the given seqno:
- This stage indicates that updating the rows is in progress. (Often it was difficult to know what the workload is trying to do: UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE.) Now there is an easy way to find out:
- This stage indicates that the given write-set is being applied:
Let's answer some simple questions that most profiling experts will face:
- How long did replication take (adding write-set to channel)?
- How long did it take for pre-commit/certification checks?
- How long did it take to commit a transaction on the slave (slave_thread=16 threads)?
- Increasing the number of slave thread creates more contention (slave_thread=64):
- The amount oftTime taken to apply a write-set:
The improved wsrep-stage framework makes it more effective for a user to find out the state of a given thread. Using the derived instrumentation through wsrep-stage is a good way to understand where the time is being spent.
Percona XtraDB Cluster: SST tmpdir option
In this blog post, I'll discuss some changes to the behavior of the Percona XtraDB Cluster SST tmpdir option in the latest versions of Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6.35-26.20-3 and 5.7.17-29.30.
Previously, we did not use the path specified by the tmpdir. From Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6.35-26.20-3 and 5.7.17-29.20, we use the tmpdir option to specify the location of temporary files used by the SST (on the DONOR this may be very large since the backup logs may be stored here).
Specifying the tmpdir is as expected. You supply the directory path, as in the following example:[sst] tmpdir=/path/to/tmp/dir/
We look for the tmpdir in the [sst], [xtrabackup], and [mysqld] sections, in that order. If left unspecified, "mktemp" follows the default behavior (on Linux distributions this will typically create the directory in $TMPDIR, followed by /tmp).
Normal security settings and permissions apply here. The directory must already exist and be readable and writable by MySQL otherwise a fatal error will be generated by the SST script.
Percona XtraDB Cluster: "dh key too small" error during an SST using SSL
If you've tried to use SSL in Percona XtraDB Cluster and saw an error in the logs like SSL3_CHECK_CERT_AND_ALGORITHM:dh key too small, we've implemented some changes in Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6.34 and 5.7.16 that get rid of these errors.Some background
dh key too small refers to the Diffie-Hellman parameters used by the SSL code that are shorter than recommended.
Due to the Logjam vulnerability (https://weakdh.org/), the required key-lengths for the Diffie-Hellman parameters were changed from 512 bits to 2048 bits. Unfortunately, older versions of OpenSSL/socat still use 512 bits (and thus caused the error to appear).Changes made to Percona XtraDB Cluster
Since versions of socat greater than 1.7.3 now use 2048 bits for the Diffie-Hellman parameters, we only do extra work for the older versions of socat (less than 1.7.3). The SST code now:
- Looks for a file with the DH params
- Uses the "ssl_dhparams" option in the [sst] section if it exists
- Looks for a "dhparams.pem" file in the datadir
- If the file is specified and exists, uses that file as a source for the DH parameters
- If the file does not exist, creates a dhparams.pem file in the datadir
Unfortunately, the time it can take several minutes to create the dhparams file. We recommend that the dhparams.pem be created prior to starting the SST.openssl dhparam -out path/to/datadir/dhparams.pem 2048
Percona XtraDB Cluster Transaction Replay Anomaly
In this blog post, we'll look at a transaction replay anomaly in Percona XtraDB Cluster.Introduction
Percona XtraDB Cluster/Galera replays a transaction if the data is non-conflicting but, the transaction happens to have conflicting locks.Anomaly
Let's understand this with an example:
- Let's assume a two-node cluster (node-1 and node-2)
- Base table "t" is created as follows:
- node-2 starts runs a transaction (trx-2):
- node-2 creates a write-set and is just about to replicate it. At the same time, node-1 executes the following transaction (trx-1), and is first to add it to the group-channel (before node-2 adds transaction (trx-2))
- trx-1 is replicated on node-2, and it proceeds with the apply action. Since there is a lock conflict (no certification conflict), node-2 local transaction (trx-2) is aborted and scheduled for replay.
- trx-1 causes addition of (3, 'a') and then node-2 transaction is REPLAYed.
- REPLAY is done using the pre-created write-set that only modifies existing entries (1,2,4).
End-result:mysql> select * from t; +---+------+ | i | c | +---+------+ | 1 | pqr | | 2 | pqr | | 3 | a | | 4 | pqr | +---+------+
- At first, nothing looks wrong. If you look closely, however, the REPLAYed transaction "UPDATE t set c= 'pqr'" is last to commit. But the effect of it is not seen as there is still a row (3, 'a') that has 'a' instead of 'pqr'.
- We have used a simple char string, but if there is a constraint here, like c should have X after UPDATE is complete, than the CONSTRAINT will be violated even though the application reports UPDATE as a success.
- Is it interesting to note what happens on node-1:
- node-1 applies the local transaction (trx-1) and then gets the replicated write-set from node-2 (trx-2) that has changes only for (1,2,4). Thereby data consistency is not compromised.
