Clustering

The power of Tungsten Clustering for MySQL / MariaDB is its built-in intelligent MySQL proxy, known as the Tungsten Connector. The Connector has built-in read-write splitting capabilities, and it is also possible to configure different algorithms which select the appropriate slave (i.e. Round-Robin or Lowest-Latency).

Continuent is pleased to announce Tungsten Clustering 5.4.0 and Tungsten Replicator 5.4.0 for MySQL / MariaDB. It's significant in that it introduces MySQL 8 support, along with many new features, stability improvements and bug fixes.

Continuent is pleased to announce Tungsten Clustering 6.1.0 and Tungsten Replicator 6.1.0 for MySQL / MariaDB. It's significant in that it has MySQL 8 support, along with many new features, stability improvements and bug fixes. This release also features a new manager, and it also has the ability to do active/active Composite Multimaster geo-clustering.

Part of the power of Tungsten Clustering for MySQL / MariaDB is its intelligent MySQL Proxy, known as the Tungsten Connector. Tungsten Connector has three main modes, and depending on the type of operations you are performing (such as if you need read-write splitting), we help you choose which mode is best. Hence the question, "How can I tell which Tungsten Connector mode I am using: Bridge, Proxy/Direct or Proxy/SmartScale?"

Where are the logs for a Tungsten Cluster and which are the proper log files to monitor if I do a master role switch to another node?

In this blog post we discuss importing CSV data into a Tungsten Cluster.
