16.3.8.1. Semisynchronous Replication Administrative Interface

The administrative interface to semisynchronous replication has several components:

  • Two plugins implement semisynchronous capability. There is one plugin for the master side and one for the slave side.

  • System variables control plugin behavior. Some examples:

    All rpl_semi_sync_xxx system variables are described at Section 5.1.4, “Server System Variables”.

  • Status variables enable semisynchronous replication monitoring. Some examples:

    • Rpl_semi_sync_master_clients

      The number of semisynchronous slaves.

    • Rpl_semi_sync_master_status

      Whether semisynchronous replication currently is operational on the master. The value is 1 if the plugin has been enabled and a commit acknowledgment has not occurred. It is 0 if the plugin is not enabled or the master has fallen back to asynchronous replication due to commit acknowledgment timeout.

    • Rpl_semi_sync_master_no_tx

      The number of commits that were not acknowledged successfully by a slave.

    • Rpl_semi_sync_master_yes_tx

      The number of commits that were acknowledged successfully by a slave.

    • Rpl_semi_sync_slave_status

      Whether semisynchronous replication currently is operational on the slave. This is 1 if the plugin has been enabled and the slave I/O thread is running, 0 otherwise.

    All Rpl_semi_sync_xxx status variables are described at Section 5.1.7, “Server Status Variables”.

The system and status variables are available only if the appropriate master or slave plugin has been installed with INSTALL PLUGIN.
