Mydumper & Myloader Documentation

Mydumper.org web site has been missing in action for a while now. I've uploaded a copy of the Mydumper documentation to this web site for easy reference. I did benchmarks on my blog athttp://vbtechsupport.com/1695/ and http://vbtechsupport.com/1716/

Note: Centmin Mod only hosting documentation and provided as is without any technical support.

Download:

Download latest Mydumper version from https://launchpad.net/mydumper. You may also need aMydumper patch for Mydumper to work with MariaDB 5.5 MySQL.

CMake
-----

CMake is used for mydumper's build system and is executed as follows::
```
  cmake .
  make
```
You can optionally provide parameters for CMake, the possible options are:
-DMYSQL_CONFIG=/path/to/mysql_config - The path and filename for the mysql_config executable
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/path - The path where mydumper should be installed

Documentation
-------------

If you wish to just compile the documentation you can do so with::
```
  cmake .
  make doc_html
```
or for a man page output::
```
  cmake .
  make doc_man
```
Mydumper Usage

Synopsis
--------

mydumper [OPTION...]

Description
-----------

mydumper is a tool used for backing up MySQL database servers much
faster than the mysqldump tool distributed with MySQL. It also has the
capability to retrieve the binary logs from the remote server at the same time
as the dump itself. The advantages of mydumper are:
Parallelism (hence, speed) and performance (avoids expensive character set conversion routines, efficient code overall)
Easier to manage output (separate files for tables, dump metadata, etc, easy to view/parse data)
Consistency - maintains snapshot across all threads, provides accurate master and slave log positions, etc
Manageability - supports PCRE for specifying database and tables inclusions and exclusions

Myloader Usage

Synopsis
--------

myloader [OPTION...]

Description
-----------

myloader is a tool used for multi-threaded restoration of mydumper
backups.

Options
-------

The myloader tool has several available options:

myloader
```
 --help, -?
```
Show help text
```
 --host, -h
```
Hostname of MySQL server to connect to (default localhost)
```
 --user, -u
```
MySQL username with the correct privileges to execute the restoration
```
 --password, -p
```
The corresponding password for the MySQL user

Note:For localhost TCP connections use 127.0.0.1 for --host`.
```

```
 --threads, -t
```
The number of threads to use for restoring data, default is 4
```
 --version, -V
```
Show the program version and exit
```
 --compress-protocol, -C
```
Use client protocol compression for connections to the MySQL server
```
 --directory, -d
```
The directory of the mydumper backup to restore
```
 --database, -B
```
An alternative database to load the dump into

Note:For use with single database dumps. When using with multi-database dumps
that have duplicate table names in more than one database it may cause
errors. Alternatively this scenario may give unpredictable results with
--overwrite-tables`.
```
 --queries-per-transaction, -q
```
Number of INSERT queries to execute per transaction during restore, default
is 1000.
```
 --overwrite-tables, -o
```
Drop any existing tables when restoring schemas
```
 --enable-binlog, -e
```
Log the data loading in the MySQL binary log if enabled (off by default)
```
 --verbose, -v
```
The verbosity of messages. 0 = silent, 1 = errors, 2 = warnings, 3 = info.
Default is 2.

Output Files

mydumper generates several files during the generation of the dump. Many of
these are for the table data itself since every table has at least one file.

Metadata
--------
When a dump is executed a file called ``.metadata`` is created in the output
directory. This contains the start and end time of the dump as well as the
master binary log positions if applicable.

This is an example of the content of this file::
```
  Started dump at: 2011-05-05 13:57:17
  SHOW MASTER STATUS:
  Log: linuxjedi-laptop-bin.000001
  Pos: 106

  Finished dump at: 2011-05-05 13:57:17
```
Table Data
----------
The data from every table is written into a separate file, also if the
--rows <mydumper --rows>` option is used then each chunk of table will
be in a separate file. The file names for this are in the format::
```
    database.table.sql(.gz)
```
or if chunked::
```
    database.table.chunk.sql(.gz)
```
Where 'chunk' is a number padded with up to 5 zeros.

Table Schemas
-------------
When the --schemas <mydumper --schemas>` option is used mydumper will
create a file for the schema of every table it is writing data for. The files
for this are in the following format::
```
    database.table-schema.sql(.gz)
```
Binary Logs
-----------
Binary logs are retrieved when --binlogs <mydumper --binlogs>` option
has been set. This will store them in the ``binlog_snapshot/`` sub-directory
inside the dump directory.

The binary log files have the same filename as the MySQL server that supplies them and will also have a .gz on the end if they are compressed.

Daemon mode
-----------
Daemon mode does things a little differently. There are the directories ``0``
and ``1`` inside the dump directory. These alternate when dumping so that if
mydumper fails for any reason there is still a good snapshot. When a snapshot
dump is complete the ``last_dump`` symlink is updated to point to that dump.

If binary logging is enabled mydumper will connect as if it is a slave server
and constantly retreives the binary logs into the ``binlogs`` subdirectory.

Examples

Simple Usage
------------
Just running mydumper without any options will try to connect to a
server using the default socket path. It will then dump the tables from all
databases using 4 worker threads.

Regex
-----
To use mydumper's regex feature simply use the
--regex <mydumper --regex>` option. In the following example mydumper
will ignore the ``test`` and ``mysql`` databases::
```
    mydumper --regex '^(?!(mysql|test))'
```
Restoring a dump
----------------
Mydumper now include myloader which is a multi-threaded restoration tool. To
use myloader with a mydumper dump you simply need to pass it the directory of
the dump along with a user capable of restoring the schemas and data. As an
example the following will restore a dump overwriting any existing tables::
```
    myloader --directory=export-20110614-094953 --overwrite-tables --user=root
```
Daemon mode
-----------
Mydumper has a daemon mode which will snapshot the dump data every so often
whilst continuously retreiving the binary log files. This gives a continuous
consistent backup right up to the point where the database server fails. To use
this you simply need to use the --daemon <mydumper --daemon>` option.

In the following example mydumper will use daemon mode, creating a snapshot
every half an hour and log to an output file::
```
    mydumper --daemon --snapshot-interval=30 --logfile=dump.log
```

mydumper用例

# mydumper -B ttlsa_com -o /home/data/bak -b
# ls
binlog_snapshot metadata ttlsa_com.my_area-schema.sql ttlsa_com.my_area.sql
# cat metadata
Started dump at: 2012-02-20 11:40:21
SHOW MASTER STATUS:
Log: mysqld-bin.000001
Pos: 191363
Finished dump at: 2012-02-20 11:40:22
# mydumper -B ttlsa_com -o /home/data/bak -b -D --snapshot-interval=30
# myloader -d /home/data/bak/last_dump -o -B ttlsa_com //还原
