Dear all
i'm planning the configuration of a replication environment on a mysql
master with more of 300 database and about 50 GB of data, the master
is a production server and can't be stopped or write-locked for a long
time (more than 5 minutes is a logn time in this case)
The database contains both MyISAM and InnoDB tables.
I've read that the LOAD-DATA-FROM-MASTER command is deprecated and not suggested
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data-from-master.html
But
- i can't run a mysqldump on the production server as it takes about
3 hours and during that time there will be write operation on it.
- i can't write lock tables as it will require a stop time of many hours
- i can't use the load-data-from-master as it doesn't support InnoDB
What happend if i force the SLAVE to re-process some bin-file already processed?
I mean:
- take note of the current binlog on the server (example:
mysql-bin.004409 position x)
- make the mysqldump on master
- import the dump on slave
- force the slave to restart from (example: mysql-bin.004409 position x)
Can i do that?
Or is there another solution?
TIA
