Description Steve Yin 2013-07-15 03:12:15 UTC

as many distros are planning to switch to mariadb, I think gentoo should also provide more mariadb's packages to user to choose thier mysql version.

Galera is a wsrep service provider in a form of dlopenable library. It provides synchronous replication guarantees and supports multi-master replication. Among other things Galera is capable of unconstrained parallel applying AKA “parallel replication”, multicast replication and automatic node provisioning. Galera primary focus is data consistency: transaction is either applied on every node or not at all.

so this is the only cluster solution for mariadb and mysql. 

Reproducible: Always

I've added ebuild and necessary files for building the galera provider with the mariadb-galera.

And I've found the /usr/portage/eclass/mysql-v2.eclass file already have the support for mariaddb-galera but there is no actual ebuild for this. and I've just tested copy the dev-db/mariadb/mariadb-5.5.31.ebuild  to dev-db/mariadb-galera/mariadb-galera-5.5.29.ebuild and build are successfully.

also I've tested mariadb-galera + galera to build a working database cluster without any problem and the database are also synced correctly.


So I'm requesting to add these two packages in portage for users need the real database cluster solution.

this is a opensource solution, so I think gentoo have no reason that don't support this.
