KubeDB - MySQL Semi-sync cluster

This tutorial will show you how to use KubeDB to provision a MySQL semi-synchronous cluster.

Before You Begin

Before proceeding:

Read mysql semi synchronous concept to learn about MySQL Semi sync cluster.
You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using kind.
Now, install KubeDB cli on your workstation and KubeDB operator in your cluster following the steps here.
To keep things isolated, this tutorial uses a separate namespace called demo throughout this tutorial. Run the following command to prepare your cluster for this tutorial:
```
$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created
```

Note: The yaml files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/guides/mysql/clustering/semi-sync/yamls folder in GitHub repository kubedb/docs.

Deploy MySQL Semi-sync Cluster

To deploy a single primary MySQL semi-synchronous cluster , specify spec.topology field in MySQL CRD.

The following is an example MySQL object which creates a semi-synchronous cluster with three members (one is primary member and the two others are secondary members).

apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: MySQL
metadata:
  name: semi-sync-mysql
  namespace: demo
spec:
  version: "8.0.35"
  replicas: 3
  topology:
    mode: SemiSync
    semiSync:
      sourceWaitForReplicaCount: 1
      sourceTimeout: 23h
      errantTransactionRecoveryPolicy: PseudoTransaction
  storageType: Durable
  storage:
    storageClassName: "standard"
    accessModes:
      - ReadWriteOnce
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: 1Gi
   terminationPolicy: WipeOut

$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.7.3-rc.0/docs/guides/mysql/clustering/semi-sync/yamls/semi-sync.yaml
mysql.kubedb.com/semi-sync-mysql created

Here,

spec.topology tells about the clustering configuration for MySQL.
spec.topology.mode specifies the mode for MySQL cluster. Here we have used SemiSync to tell the operator that we want to deploy a MySQL Semi-synchronous cluster.
spec.topology.semiSync contains semi-synchronous cluster info.
spec.topology.semiSync.sourceWaitForReplicaCount: explains the number of replica semi-sync primary wait before commit a transaction
spec.topology.semiSync.sourceTimeout: explains the timeout for primary to wait for a replica and fall back to asynchronous replication
spec.topology.semiSync.errantTransactionRecoveryPolicy: it’s possible to have errant transaction during a Primary failover . kubedb supports two types of recovery using PseudoTransaction and Clone
spec.storage specifies the StorageClass of PVC dynamically allocated to store data for this database. This storage spec will be passed to the StatefulSet created by KubeDB operator to run database pods. So, each members will have a pod of this storage configuration. You can specify any StorageClass available in your cluster with appropriate resource requests.

KubeDB operator watches for MySQL objects using Kubernetes API. When a MySQL object is created, KubeDB operator will create a new StatefulSet and a Service with the matching MySQL object name. KubeDB operator will also create a governing service for the StatefulSet with the name <mysql-object-name>-pods.

Connect with MySQL database

KubeDB operator has created a new Secret called semi-sync-mysql-auth (format: {mysql-object-name}-auth) for storing the password for mysql superuser. This secret contains a username key which contains the username for MySQL superuser and a password key which contains the password for MySQL superuser.

If you want to use an existing secret please specify that when creating the MySQL object using spec.authSecret.name. While creating this secret manually, make sure the secret contains these two keys containing data username and password and also make sure of using root as value of username. For more details see here.

Now, you can connect to this database from your terminal using the mysql user and password.

$ kubectl get secrets -n demo semi-sync-mysql-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\username}' | base64 -d
root

$ kubectl get secrets -n demo semi-sync-mysql-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\password}' | base64 -d
y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i

The operator creates a cluster according to the newly created MySQL object. This cluster has 3 members (one primary and two secondary).

You can connect to any of these cluster members. In that case you just need to specify the host name of that member Pod (either PodIP or the fully-qualified-domain-name for that Pod using the governing service named <mysql-object-name>-pods) by --host flag.

# first list the mysql pods list
$ kubectl get pods -n demo -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=semi-sync-mysql
NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
semi-sync-mysql-0   2/2     Running   0          21m

semi-sync-mysql-2   2/2     Running   0          20m

# get the governing service
$ kubectl get service semi-sync-mysql-pods -n demo

semi-sync-mysql-pods   ClusterIP   None         <none>        3306/TCP,2380/TCP,2379/TCP   21m

# list the pods with PodIP
$ kubectl get pods -n demo -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=semi-sync-mysql -o jsonpath='{range.items[*]}{.metadata.name} ........... {.status.podIP} ............ {.metadata.name}.semi-sync-mysql-pods.{.metadata.namespace}{"\\n"}{end}'

semi-sync-mysql-2 ........... 10.244.0.22 ............ semi-sync-mysql-2.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo

Now you can connect to these database using the above info. Ignore the warning message. It is happening for using password in the command.

# connect to the 1st server
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i' --host=semi-sync-mysql-0.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "select 1;"

Data Availability

In a MySQL semi-sync cluster, only the primary member can write not the secondary. But you can read data from any member. In this tutorial, we will insert data from primary, and we will see whether we can get the data from any other member.

# create a database on primary
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i' --host=semi-sync-mysql-0.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "CREATE DATABASE playground;"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

# create a table

In the previous step we have inserted into the primary pod. In the next step we will read from secondary pods to determine whether the data has been successfully copied to the secondary pods.

# read from secondary-1
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i'  --host=semi-sync-mysql-1.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "SELECT * FROM playground.equipment;"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

# read from secondary-2
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i'  --host=semi-sync-mysql-2.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "SELECT * FROM playground.equipment;"

Write on Secondary Should Fail

Only, primary member preserves the write permission. No secondary can write data.

# try to write on secondary-1
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i'  --host=semi-sync-mysql-1.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "INSERT INTO playground.equipment (type, quant, color) VALUES ('mango', 5, 'yellow');"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 1290 (HY000) at line 1: The MySQL server is running with the --super-read-only option so it cannot execute this statement
command terminated with exit code 1

# try to write on secondary-2
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i'  --host=semi-sync-mysql-2.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "INSERT INTO playground.equipment (type, quant, color) VALUES ('mango', 5, 'yellow');"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

Automatic Failover

To test automatic failover, we will force the primary Pod to restart. Since the primary member (Pod) becomes unavailable, the rest of the members will elect a new primary for the cluster. When the old primary comes back, it will join the cluster as a secondary member.

Read the comment written for the following commands. They contain the instructions and explanations of the commands.

# delete the primary Pod semi-sync-mysql-0
$ kubectl delete pod semi-sync-mysql-0 -n demo
pod "semi-sync-mysql-0" deleted

# check the new primary ID
$ kubectl get pod -n demo --show-labels | grep primary

# read data from new primary semi-sync-mysql-1.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i' --host=semi-sync-mysql-1.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "SELECT * FROM playground.equipment;"

Now Let’s read the data from secondary pods to see if the data is consistant.

# read data from secondary-1 semi-sync-mysql-0.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i' --host=semi-sync-mysql-0.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "SELECT * FROM playground.equipment;"

# read data from secondary-2 semi-sync-mysql-2.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo
$ kubectl exec -it -n demo semi-sync-mysql-0 -c mysql -- mysql -u root --password='y~EC~984Et1Yfs~i' --host=semi-sync-mysql-2.semi-sync-mysql-pods.demo -e "SELECT * FROM playground.equipment;"
