[#MDEV-8843] Ship TokuBackup as part of MariaDB

Comment by Rich Prohaska [ 2015-10-03 ]

The source to the tokudb backup plugin is in two repos:
github.com:percona/percona-tokubackup
github.com:percona/tokudb-backup-plugin

These two repo's need to be checked out and built with the mariadb server source. Here is an example on how to build the tokudb backup plugin into mariadb 10.1:

set -e

if [ ! -d mariadb-server ] ; then git clone git@github.com:mariadb/server mariadb-server; fi

if [ ! -d percona-tokubackup ] ; then git clone git@github.com:percona/percona-tokubackup; fi

if [ ! -d tokudb-backup-plugin ] ; then git clone git@github.com:percona/tokudb-backup-plugin; fi

pushd tokudb-backup-plugin

rm -rf backup

ln -s ../percona-tokubackup/backup

popd

pushd mariadb-server/plugin

if [ -d tokudb-backup-plugin ] ; then rm tokudb-backup-plugin; fi

rm -rf tokudb-backup-plugin

ln -s ../../tokudb-backup-plugin

popd

rm -rf build install

mkdir build install

pushd build

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install -DMYSQL_MAINTAINER_MODE=OFF ../mariadb-server

make -j8 install

popd

Need to preload the hot backup library:

LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/lib/libHotBackup.so bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=~/rfp.cnf --plugin-load-add=ha_tokudb.so --plugin-load-add=tokudb_backup.so &

Here is the user interface:

| Variable_name | Value                |

| version       | 10.1.8-MariaDB-debug |

Now that TokuBackup is also completely OSS and integrated into Percona Server we should have this in the next release: https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.6/tokudb/toku_backup.html

Hope tokubackup comes to MariaDB soon~

Hello,

I have hack a patch for Percona Xtrabackup.
With it, now we can backup both InnoDB and TokuDB on PS5.6/PS5.7 and MariaDB.
Patch is:

Could anyone explain why this has been closed as "Won't fix"?

The bug is "major" and comments suggested there was some activity around it.

f_razzoli,

Percona is the primary developer of TokuDB, and it looks like Percona has deprecated TokuDB starting with Percona Server 8.0:

https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/8.0/tokudb/tokudb_intro.html

As a consequence, TokuDB might also end up getting deprecated and/or removed from MariaDB. See ~~MDEV-19780~~ about that.

Percona's replacement for TokuDB appears to be MyRocks. That is also available in MariaDB:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/myrocks/
