Pure Python Implementation of MySQL replication protocol build on top of PyMYSQL

Primary LanguagePython

python-mysql-replication

Pure Python Implementation of MySQL replication protocol build on top of PyMYSQL. This allow you to receive event like insert, update, delete with their datas and raw SQL queries.

Use cases

  • MySQL to NoSQL database replication
  • MySQL to search engine replication
  • Invalidate cache when something change in database
  • Audit
  • Real time analytics

Documentation

A work in progress documentation is available here: https://python-mysql-replication.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Installation

pip install mysql-replication

Mailling List

You can get support and discuss about new features on: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/python-mysql-replication

Project status

The current project is a proof of concept of what you can do with the MySQL replication log.

The project is test with:

  • MySQL 5.5 and 5.6
  • Python 2.7
  • Python 3.2

It's not tested in real production situation.

Limitations

GEOMETRY field is not decoded you will get the raw data.

Only binlog_row_image=full is supported (it's the default value).

Project using this library

MySQL server settings

In your MySQL server configuration file you need to enable replication:

[mysqld]
server-id		 = 1
log_bin			 = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size  = 100M
binlog-checksum = NONE #Only need for MySQL 5.6 until we implement checksum verification
binlog-format    = row #Very important if you want to receive write, update and delete row events

Examples

All examples are available in the examples directory

This example will dump all replication events to the console:

from pymysqlreplication import BinLogStreamReader

mysql_settings = {'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 3306, 'user': 'root', 'passwd': ''}

stream = BinLogStreamReader(connection_settings = mysql_settings)

for binlogevent in stream:
    binlogevent.dump()

stream.close()

For this SQL sessions:

CREATE DATABASE test;
use test;
CREATE TABLE test4 (id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, data VARCHAR(255), data2 VARCHAR(255), PRIMARY KEY(id));
INSERT INTO test4 (data,data2) VALUES ("Hello", "World");
UPDATE test4 SET data = "World", data2="Hello" WHERE id = 1;
DELETE FROM test4 WHERE id = 1;

Output will be:

Tests

Be carefull tests will reset the binary log of your MySQL server.

Make sure you have the following configuration set in your mysql config file (usually my.cnf on development env):

log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id=1
binlog_do_db=pymysqlreplication_test
binlog-format    = row #Very important if you want to receive write, update and delete row events

To run tests:

python setup.py test
