I have been testing it for about a year now and it has gotten really hard for me to break at this point, but I am still trying. So what is so cool about Cluster Replication? Good question! One answer: Cluster Replication really gives a company five 9's (99.999%) in up time.

In addition, the Slave Cluster can also be used for reporting or data mining to take that traffic off of the main Cluster. How hard is it to setup? Another great question.

Autobench3 was never just a benchmark API. It was a framework that wrapped benchmark APIs to provide a consistent platform for configuration and abstraction. Instead of requiring deep knowledge of each benchmark tool, Autobench3 allowed developers to work with simple command‑line options and property files. The framework made clear what suite was being run, what test case was in play, which database software was targeted, and what overrides were applied. When running, the framework would load the chosen test suite into itself — becoming Sysbench, becoming DBT2 — and then drive the workload through a consistent set of lifecycle stages. Autobench3: Still in Service, But Limited Autobench3 continues to serve MySQL well in worklog d...
