Excerpts from Tim Bell's message of 2014-01-24 10:32:26 -0800:
We are reviewing options between MySQL and MariaDB. RHEL 7 beta seems to have
MariaDB as the default MySQL-like DB.
Can someone summarise the status of the OpenStack in terms of
- What MySQL-flavor is/are currently tested in the gate ?
- What is supported by the current code ?
- Is there an agreed long term direction and if there are transitions,
when will these occur ?
Tim it is worth noting that, for the most part, MariaDB 5.5 is going to
work 99.9% the same as MySQL 5.5, which is, I believe, what is tested
in the gate (since it is just what you get when apt-get installing
mysql-server on Ubuntu). I have only heard of a few optimizer quirks in
MariaDB that make it any different to vanilla MySQL.
I do think that while we've been able to make some assumptions about
this compatibility for a while, with MariaDB becoming a proper fork and
not just a derivative, we will likely need to start testing both.
My understanding is later versions of MySQL change the on disk format
and possibly some other compatibility functionality, making testing both
a necessity since Red Hat ships Maria and Ubuntu plans to stick with MySQL.
