In this MySQL based article we are going to discuss about:
In order for you to fully understand the concepts presented in this blog, you should already be well aware about:
External based replication is one of the architecture of replication's topology between an [ApsaraDB RDS] and on-premises Database server. In this architecture we can have RDS as master and on-prem DB as slave. We can also construct RDS as slave with on-prem DB as its master. In this article we will consider this architecture for MySQL and how can we deploy it in our production and staging environment. In this article, I am going to have Master on RDS MySQL 5.7 and slave on MySQL 8.0 version & reason behind this is to know what are the errors we can face while setting up this architecture and how can we resolve it. Having plain setup is simple and will not produce any errors.
Please note that currently we don't support external based replication of architecture in which RDS is slave with on-prem DB server as Master.
Main purpose of having this architecture may vary for different business requirement. One of the business requirements I have seen is where we want one of our database servers to act as warehouse or OLAP and we want it to self-managed. In some cases COST can also be counted as a factor to adopt such architecture.
Main purpose of having RDS as a slave is because we want to keep our data safe and thus we opt for managed services. In times of crash recovery or backup recovery or to generate BI -report we can use this RDS and doesn't worry about the monitoring or managing it.
I have replicated below scenario where I wanted to have below architecture:
1. Login to your RDS console https://rdsnext.console.aliyun.com/
2. Go to Products and locate Relational Database Services.
3. Click on create instance.
4. Make ensure that you setup below configuration:
5. Click next.
6. You will land to Instance configuration page.
7. Make ensure that you have your VPC and vswitch must be setup already.
8. Click on next and you will land to confirm order page.
9. Tick Terms and Services and confirm your order.
10. Wait for few minutes until your RDS instance gets ready.
11. Once ready click on the instance and you will land to below page:
12. Click on Configure Whitelist.
13. Click on Create Whitelist and add the IP of your on-prem server.
14. For testing purpose, I have made this RDS as public and put 0.0.0.0 in whitelisting.
15. Make ensure that public endpoint of this RDS must exist so that you can connect from outside VPC. To apply for the public end point, you can follow steps mentioned in below link: https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/26128.htm
16. Create Privileged account for RDS MySQL . For this please follow below link: https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/87038.htm
We will need this in creating replication user.
17. Connect to the RDS via DMS or MySQL client on ECS or on your local machine. For DMS, you can login via console only.
18. Once RDS is setup, please install MySQL on your local machine. You can follow Oracle guide on this. It is solely depend on you how to install MySQL . Either via RPM, binary files or DMZ package.
19. Once Database has been started, please enable gtid mode and put below configuration in your cnf file. I am pasting a sample config file for this:
[mysqld]
user=_mysql
basedir=/usr/local/mysql
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin
log-error=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.err
pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.local.pid
keyring-file-data=/usr/local/mysql/keyring/keyring
early-plugin-load=keyring_file=keyring_file.so
log-bin=mybinlog
server-id=33
gtid_mode=ON
enforce_gtid_consistency=ON
log_slave_updates=ON20. Login to your RDS DB server.
21. Take the backup of RDS database using mysqldump. This has
22. been done to make ensure that all transactions are in GTID mode.
23. Restore it on your on-prem DB server.
24. Once done, please configure the master at on-prem DB server :
mysql> change master to
-> master_host='IP',
-> master_user='username',
-> master_password='password',
-> master_auto_position=1;
mysql> start slave;
mysql> show slave status\G;

1 row in set (0.00 sec)25. This error has been introduced because of the different versions between master and slave. Let's see how can we resolve it
As per error, table structure seems to be different. We can fix this error by having similar structure at both end and then run start slave . I have pasted my output . Make ensure that you should take data from source too.
mysql> CREATE TABLE `ha_health_check` (
-> `id` bigint(20) DEFAULT '0',
-> `type` char(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
-> PRIMARY KEY (`type`)
