 Description   

BACKUP STAGE is implemented and is great work done.

I see that there is a different implementation between Enterprise Server and Community Server in the way BACKUP STAGE is added to mariabackup:

MariaDB Enterprise Backup and MariaDB Enterprise Server include enterprise-only optimizations to backup staging, including DDL statement tracking, which reduces lock-time during backups.

MariaDB Community Server 10.4 backup staging will block writes, log tables, and statistics.

Are there plans to implement the non-blocking way in Community Server in the future?

Is there anything blocking from implementing this in Community Server?

No definitive plans at the moment yet

Comment by Nuno [ 2019-09-24 ]

Ok, but what's the reason? Wouldn't the same code work for both Community and Enterprise?
Thank you very much.

It's a question of priorities. At the moment MariaDB Corporation prioritizes other work.

Comment by Nuno [ 2019-09-25 ]

Thank you Sergei, and I respect that.
Just to me, it seems more like an intentional move to advertise Enterprise, than actually the amount of work to have this implemented in Community, since I assume both implementations would be very similar.

Thank you.
