    Description

      Enabling both log-slave-updates and replicate-same-server-id simultaneously is possible in MySQL 8.0+ thanks to GTID.

      This is a useful feature to guarantee durability in certain replication configurations. MariaDB should add this capability. This requires adding new code to gracefully ignore duplicated GTIDs.

      I am willing to write this code but request advice from upstream core contributors on how to properly do it.

      Research

      • MariaDB 10.6 forbids the combination of log-slave-updates and replicate-same-server-id as a vestige of old code from MySQL, even though it always writes GTID to the binlog.
      • MySQL <8.0 forbade this combination entirely. An enhancement in MySQL >=8.0 allows it if GTID logging is enabled, because logging GTIDs should permit the identification and deduplication of repeated transactions

      Testing

      I modified MariaDB 10.6 to allow the combination of these two flags:

        #endif
      

      Then I set the combination of the two flags in rpl_circular_for_4_hosts.test, an MTR test of circular replication with a 4-server configuration:

       --- a/mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_circular_for_4_hosts.cnf

        loose-innodb
        
        [ENV]
      

      With both of these flags, the servers start up successfully, but the test fails after one of the slaves is stopped and attempts to restart. This is due to errors with duplicate transactions:

      2022-04-07 16:23:44 11 [ERROR] Slave SQL: Error 'Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'' on query. Default database: 'test'. Query: 'INSERT INTO t2 (b,c) VALUES('MDEV-515', 100)', Gtid 0-1-3, Internal MariaDB error code: 1062
      2022-04-07 16:23:44 11 [Warning] Slave: Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY' Error_code: 1062
      

      The above might be solvable by gracefully dropping duplicate GTIDs, but I need upstream guidance on how to properly proceed with this.
