mydumper是针对mysql数据库备份的一个轻量级第三方的开源工具，备份方式术语逻辑备份。它支持多线程。备份速度远高于原生态的mysqldump以及众多优异特性。
因此该工具是DBA们的不二选择。
本文主要描写叙述该工具的安装及其出现异常的解决方法。
1、mydumper特性(直接參考readme)
* Parallelism (hence, speed) and performance (avoids expensive character set conversion routines, efficient code overall)
* Easier to manage output (separate files for tables, dump metadata, etc, easy to view/parse data)
* Consistency - maintains snapshot across all threads, provides accurate master and slave log positions, etc
* Manageability - supports PCRE for specifying database and tables inclusions and exclusions
It does not support schema dumping and leaves that to 'mysqldump --no-data'
2、获取mydumper及安装方法
下载地址：https://launchpad.net/mydumper
== How to build it? ==
Run:
cmake .
make
One needs to install development versions of required libaries (MySQL, GLib, ZLib, PCRE):
NOTE: you must use the correspondent mysql devel package.
* Ubuntu or Debian: apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libmysqlclient15-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev
* Fedora, RedHat and CentOS: yum install glib2-devel mysql-devel zlib-devel pcre-devel openssl-devel
* openSUSE: zypper install glib2-devel libmysqlclient-devel pcre-devel zlib-devel
* MacOSX: port install glib2 mysql5 pcre pkgconfig cmake
(You may want to run 'port select mysql mysql5' afterwards)
One has to make sure, that pkg-config, mysql_config, pcre-config are all in $PATH
Binlog dump is disabled by default to compile with it you need to add -DWITH_BINLOG=ON to cmake options
###假设要使用binlog dump在编译的时候须要使用-DWITH_BINLOG=ON
3、快照工作原理
== How does consistent snapshot work? ==
This is all done following best MySQL practices and traditions:
* As a precaution, slow running queries on the server either abort the dump, or get killed
* Global write lock is acquired ("FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK")
* Various metadata is read ("SHOW SLAVE STATUS","SHOW MASTER STATUS")
* Other threads connect and establish snapshots ("START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT")
** On pre-4.1.8 it creates dummy InnoDB table, and reads from it.
* Once all worker threads announce the snapshot establishment, master executes "UNLOCK TABLES" and starts queueing jobs.
This for now does not provide consistent snapshots for non-transactional engines - support for that is expected in 0.2 :)
4、怎样过滤数据库
== How to exclude (or include) databases? ==
Once can use --regex functionality, for example not to dump mysql and test databases:
mydumper --regex '^(?!(mysql|test))'
Of course, regex functionality can be used to describe pretty much any list of tables.
== How to exclude MERGE or Federated tables ==
Use same --regex exclusion syntax. Again, engine-specific behaviors are targetted for 0.2
5、实际安装过程
# ls mydump*
mydumper-0.6.2.tar.gz
# tar -xvf mydumper-0.6.2.tar.gz
# cd mydumper-0.6.2
[root@GZ-APP-BAK01 mydumper-0.6.2]# cmake .
[root@GZ-APP-BAK01 mydumper-0.6.2]# make && make install
6、安装过程中的异常
错误1：
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
PCRE_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
used as include directory in directory /root/mydumper-0.6.2
PCRE_PCRE_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
linked by target "mydumper" in directory /root/mydumper-0.6.2
linked by target "myloader" in directory /root/mydumper-0.6.2
###须要安装pcre-devel包。yum install pcre-devel
错误2：
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
used as include directory in directory /home/robin/mydumper-0.6.2
used as include directory in directory /home/robin/mydumper-0.6.2
used as include directory in directory /home/robin/mydumper-0.6.2
###出现上述错误，是因为没有配置MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR文件夹。
###假设是编译安装到非缺省路径，能够将mysql安装路径加入到/etc/profile或者家文件夹~/.bash_profile后source生效
错误3：
[root@GZ-APP-BAK01 ~]# mydumper --help|more
mydumper: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@GZ-APP-BAK01 ~]# mydumper
mydumper: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
###出现上述错误。应考虑建立软链
# which libmysqlclient.so.18
/app/soft/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18
# ln -s /app/soft/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18
错误4：
# mydumper -uusr1 -ppwd -B blos -o /tmp/bak
option parsing failed: Error parsing option -r, try --help
###參数和字符串不能连着写，笔者刚開始是也是丈二和尚摸不着头脑。
# mydumper --version
mydumper 0.6.2, built against MySQL 5.6.22
