Dear all
i'm scouting some of the scalabilty features of Mysql, considering
some of the limitations of NDB engine at the moment i'd like to
implement an architecture with a single master node and many slaves
with a simple replication.
I can write some code into my application to connect directly to the
master when there is an insert/update/replace and connect directly to
slaves when i have slect queries, but this has a significant impact on
the application, expecially it the number of slaves increases a lot.
I'd like to use a very simple "proxy" feature that just forward write
requests to the master and read requests to slaves (don't care about
the routing policy, a simple round robin will be fine for the moment).
So, i've found the mysql-proxy product
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-proxy/
that seems to be exactly what is needed, but the current release igore
the --proxy-read-only-backend-addresses option.
I'm trying to use the proxy-read-only-backend-addresses option but it
seems that no read-only traffic is forwarded to these server.
This is my command:
mysql-proxy ---proxy-backend-addresses=10.10.10.1:3306
--proxy-read-only-backend-addresses=10.10.10.2:3306
But when i try forward some queries to the proxy i see all mysql
traffic to 10.10.10.1 and none to 10.10.10.2.
So, here my questions:
- is mysql-proxy the correct product for this scenario?
- what will you use to organize database access from an application
when you have a single master and many slaves?
- is there any "general" sql proxy that just forward write requests to
some node and read requests to other?
Thanks to all in advance.
