Understanding the different Openstack tox configs

by

Openstack projects use tox to manage virtual environments and run unit tests which I talked about here.

In this example I am using the oslo.config repo to look at the various tox configs in openstack use. The Governance Project Testing Interface is a starting point to read about project guidelines.

Get the current codebase

$ git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/oslo.config
$ cd oslo.config/
$ git rev-parse HEAD
7b1e157aeea426c58e3d4c9a76a231f0e5bc8241

The last line helps me identify the specific git commit I am working with. When moving between branches or when looking at a repo that may be a few days old, if I need to recreate this exact codebase all I need is this. For example, to look at a prior version at 3ab403925e9cb2928ba8e893c4d0f4a6f4b27d7 for example.

$ git checkout 3ab403925e9cb2928ba8e893c4d0f4a6f4b27d72
Note: checking out '3ab403925e9cb2928ba8e893c4d0f4a6f4b27d72'.
...
HEAD is now at 3ab4039... Merge "Added Raw Value Loading to Test Fixture"
$ git rev-parse HEAD
3ab403925e9cb2928ba8e893c4d0f4a6f4b27d72

To revert back to the current repo master.

$ git checkout master
Previous HEAD position was 3ab4039... Merge "Added Raw Value Loading to Test Fixture"
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
$ git rev-parse HEAD
7b1e157aeea426c58e3d4c9a76a231f0e5bc8241

NOTE: You don’t need to specify the full commit hash. In this example 3ab4039 also works.

tox configuration

The tox.ini file contains various config sections.

  • [tox] are global options
  • [testenv] are the default options for each virtual environment
  • [testenv:NAME] are the specific test environments

tox.ini

$ cat tox.ini
[tox]
distribute = False
envlist = py33,py34,py26,py27,pep8

[testenv]
setenv = VIRTUAL_ENV={envdir}
deps = -r{toxinidir}/requirements.txt
       -r{toxinidir}/test-requirements.txt
commands = python setup.py testr --slowest --testr-args='{posargs}'

[testenv:pep8]
commands = flake8

[testenv:cover]
setenv = VIRTUAL_ENV={envdir}
commands =
  python setup.py testr --coverage

[testenv:venv]
commands = {posargs}

[testenv:docs]
commands = python setup.py build_sphinx

[flake8]
show-source = True
exclude = .tox,dist,doc,*.egg,build

NOTE: These file differ between projects. See later for an example comparison with python-openstackclient, nova and horizon.

Prerequisites

The default [testenv] options first refer to requirements.txt and test-requirements.txt which define the specific packages and required versions. Either minimum (e.g. netaddr>=0.7.12), range (e.g. stevedore>=1.3.0,<1.4.0) or more specific (e.g. pbr>=0.6,!=0.7,<1.0).

requirements.txt

$ cat requirements.txt
# The order of packages is significant, because pip processes them in the order
# of appearance. Changing the order has an impact on the overall integration
# process, which may cause wedges in the gate later.

pbr>=0.6,!=0.7,<1.0
argparse
netaddr>=0.7.12
six>=1.9.0
stevedore>=1.3.0,<1.4.0  # Apache-2.0

test-requirements.txt

$ cat test-requirements.txt
# The order of packages is significant, because pip processes them in the order
# of appearance. Changing the order has an impact on the overall integration
# process, which may cause wedges in the gate later.

hacking>=0.10.0,<0.11

discover
fixtures>=0.3.14
python-subunit>=0.0.18
testrepository>=0.0.18
testscenarios>=0.4
testtools>=0.9.36,!=1.2.0
oslotest>=1.5.1,<1.6.0  # Apache-2.0

# when we can require tox>= 1.4, this can go into tox.ini:
#  [testenv:cover]
#  deps = {[testenv]deps} coverage
coverage>=3.6

# this is required for the docs build jobs
sphinx>=1.1.2,!=1.2.0,!=1.3b1,<1.3
oslosphinx>=2.5.0,<2.6.0  # Apache-2.0

# Required only for tests
oslo.i18n>=1.5.0,<1.6.0  # Apache-2.0

# mocking framework
mock>=1.0

Style Guidelines (PEP8)

The first test we look at is pep8 run by flake8. This starts by reviewing the code with Style Guide for Python Code and any specific Openstack Style Guidelines.

$ tox -e pep8
GLOB sdist-make: /home/rbradfor/oslo.config/setup.py
pep8 inst-nodeps: /home/rbradfor/oslo.config/.tox/dist/oslo.config-1.10.0.zip

  congratulations :)

As with all unit tests you are wanting to see "The bar is green, the code is clean". An example of a failing test would look like:

$ tox -e pep8

Testr

This is a wrapper for the underlying testr command (found in the command line of the [testenv] section). We can reproduce what this runs manually with.

$ source .tox/py27/bin/activate
(py27)$  python setup.py testr
running testr
...
Ran 1182 tests in 0.443s (-0.025s)
PASSED (id=5)

The current tox.ini config includes the --slowest argument which is self explaining.

One benefit of running this specifically is when writing failing tests (i.e. the Test Driven Development (TDD) approach to agile software development). You do not really want to run all tests in order to see a failure. The -f option helps.

$ testr run
...
Ran 1182 (+637) tests in 2.058s (+1.064s)
FAILED (id=12, failures=2 (+1))

$ testr run -- -f
...
Ran 545 (-637) tests in 1.075s (-0.900s)
FAILED (id=13, failures=1 (-1))

$ testr run test_types -- -f
...
Ran 34 (-152) tests in 0.030s (-0.000s)
FAILED (id=18, failures=1 (-1))

NOTE: It takes a bit to realize the syntax of tox and testr and handling doubledash? -- placement. When you work it out you realize you can reproduce this with tox directly using:

$ tox -e py27 -- test_types -- -f
...
Ran 151 (+117) tests in 0.125s (+0.120s)
FAILED (id=19, failures=2 (+1))
error: testr failed (1)
ERROR: InvocationError: '/home/rbradfor/oslo.config/.tox/py27/bin/python setup.py testr --slowest --testr-args=test_types -- -f'
________ summary ________
ERROR:   py27: commands failed

The reason for dropping into an activated virtual environment and running testr manually is because tox will destroy and recreate your virtual environment each time the command is executed, which is time consuming.

The Testr source can be found at testrepository, identified by (py27)$ more `which testr`.

Testr syntax

Testr has multiple options and commands you can read about via various help options:

$ testr help
$ testr quickstart
$ testr commands
$ testr help run

Usage: testr run [options] testfilters* doubledash? testargs*
...

While debugging several testr commands were useful.

  congratulations :)

Which is a wrapper for:

$ python setup.py testr --coverage
...
Ran 1182 tests in 0.592s (+0.116s)
PASSED (id=27)

These commands produces a /cover directory (which is not currently in .gitignore). The contents are HTML. I suspect there is likely an option for a more CLI readable format however for simplicity we publish these to an available running web server.

Apache Setup

In order to view what code coverage produces I configured Apache with a separate port and vhost in this devstack environment.

$ echo "ServerName "`hostname` | sudo tee /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/servername.conf
$ echo "Listen 81


    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    
        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    

    LogLevel warn
    ErrorLog \${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/localhost.error.log
    CustomLog \${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/localhost.access.log combined
" | sudo tee /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/localhost.conf
$ sudo apache2ctl graceful

Then I simply copied the projects coverage output as a quick hack to view.

$ sudo cp -r cover/ /var/www/html/
$ sudo apt-get install lynx-cur
$ lynx http://localhost:81/cover

Installing Python 3.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

by

Ubuntu 14.04 by default uses Python 2.7 and 3.4. If you want to install Python 3.3, in my case because various Openstack projects that maintain 3.3 compatibility.

I had a hard time finding what I would consider an official means. These are a third party PPA steps. I welcome comments for any other ways to install multiple Python environments.

$ sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties

$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpuljbio98/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpuljbio98/pubring.gpg' created

gpg: key DB82666C: public key "Launchpad Old Python Versions" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

NOTE: The add repo command prompts for a user response without -y. 

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes

 This PPA has older and newer Python versions for Ubuntu. The packages in the official archives generally don't go back all that far, but people might still need to develop and test against these old Python interpreters. There also was a time when Google App Engine still ran on Python 2.5, but nobody likes to talk about that.

A disclaimer first: I do not guarantee any kind of updates. In particular, I shed all responsibility for security issues in these packages. If you want to use them in a security-or-otherwise-critical environment (say, on a production server), you do so at your own risk.

For Python 2.7 updates for supported Ubuntu releases, see my dedicated 2.7 PPA:

Supported Ubuntu Versions
=========================
Supported — Precise, Trusty, Utopic

Generally, I try to support Ubuntu releases until their official End-of-Life.

Supported Python Versions
=========================
Currently supported releases — 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4

Basically, if an Ubuntu version doesn't have an official package for a specific major Python version (be it "any more" or "yet"), look for one in this PPA. However, for a given Python major release, don't expect to find newer point releases if there is already an older point release in the official Ubuntu repositories (i.e., if an Ubuntu release has a package for Python 2.6.4, I won't provide a package with 2.6.5 for that Ubuntu release): newer Python point releases shouldn't add new features or change behaviour, so they're rather pointless (no pun intended) for development and testing; conversely, if that Python point release has a bug that is fixed in a newer release, that's still an issue with the original package and should be taken up with the Ubuntu or Debian maintainer of the package. Besides, making these update packages externally to the original repositories is a bit of a pain.

As an exception, I have updated Python 2.7 packages for several Ubuntu releases in a separate PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/ubuntu/deadsnakes-python2.7

Supported Python Packages
=========================
Using third-party modules packaged for Debian or Ubuntu with the Python interpreters from this repository is a bit of a mixed bag. For Python 2, Python modules from the official repositories will not work, as a consequence of how Python packaging works in Debian. For Python 3 on the other hand, all pure-Python module packages at least should be available; compiled extension modules will not work however.

In general, you're better off installing Python modules using the common Python packaging tools rather than the system package manager. For an introduction into the Python packaging ecosystem and its tools, refer to the Python Packaging User Guide [1].

And now you can install the specific version.

$ sudo apt-get install -y python3.3 python3.3-dev

At this time I now have 3 different versions as well as the python and python3 aliases.

$ python --version
Python 2.7.6

$ python3 --version
Python 3.4.0

$ python2.7 --version
Python 2.7.6

$ python3.3 --version
Python 3.3.6

$ python3.4 --version
Python 3.4.0

This enabled me to now use Python 3.3. for my Openstack tox testing which at first pass produces the same error as Python 3.4

$ tox -epy33 --notest

Running openstack tests with tox

by

Recently the OSC (python-openstackclient) project removed run_tests.sh #177066 and tools/install_venv.py scripts #177086.

As I was very new to OpenStack development practices this threw me because of reading several OpenStack documentation pages including Getting the code that specifically mentions in Hacking on your laptop and running unit tests an example Setting Up a Developer Environment, and consulting with a friend that is a ATC this is the way I learned to setup virtual environments and running tests.

The Testing OpenStack Projects documentation also refers to run_tests.sh however caveats “There is an older convention, as follows. Most projects have a shell script, named “run_tests.sh”, that runs the unit tests of that project.” (i.e. devil in the details).

With run_tests.sh and tools/install_venv.py removed what is the *correct* way?

Setting up a virtual environment with tox

First you create the tox virtual environments. The tox configuration is held in tox.ini and this supports multiple environments for compatibility testing. You can see the environments created with.

$ grep envlist tox.ini
envlist = py33,py34,py26,py27,pep8

I have chosen to specify the Python 2.7 version. I am running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS which has Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. The HACKING.rst docs makes reference to “OpenStackClient strives to be Python 3.3 compatible.” Side Note: Python 3.4 fails to work with the openstackclient codebase, See later for issues I am seeing.

I setup the 2.7 virtual environment without running any tests.

$ tox -e py27 --notest
py27 create: /home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/.tox/py27
py27 installdeps: -r/home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/requirements.txt, -r/home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/test-requirements.txt
py27 develop-inst: /home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient
_________ summary ____________
  py27: skipped tests
  congratulations :)

I can then reference the openstack binary directly in this virtual environment with:

$ .tox/py27/bin/openstack --version
openstack 1.1.0

You can use this virtual environment without requiring any pathing by activating.

$ source .tox/py27/bin/activate
$ openstack

This actually adds the applicable /bin directory to PATH and not PYTHONPATH.

$ which openstack
/home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/.tox/py27/bin/openstack
$ openstack --version
openstack 1.1.0

Running Tests

There are now several ways I can run individual or full tests.

$ tox -epy27 -- test_shell
py27 create: /home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/.tox/py27
py27 installdeps: -r/home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/requirements.txt, -r/home/rbradfor/tmp/python-openstackclient/test-requirements.txt

Problems with Python 3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

I was unable to run tests with Python 3.x. I have not spent the time to investigate why there are issues with libyaml which is not listed as core dependency in requirements.txt.
UPDATE: Seems this also is a simple problem. I did not have the -dev package installed.

$ sudo apt-get install -y python3.4-dev

And it’s all fine. Thanks Doug for that insight.

My next objective is to install Python 3.3 also as this is referenced as the baseline compatibility of the project.

Percona Live Presentation: MySQL Security Essentials

by

The slides for my MySQL Security Essentials presentation at Percona Live 2015 MySQL Conference and Expo are now available.

In this presentation I discuss just how insecure legacy versions of MySQL are and what are the essential requirements for securing your installation on disk, via network and with user privileges. I provide recommendations for how to manage application access for your most important data asset.

This presentation describes the key security improvements in MySQL 5.6 and MySQL 5.7 as well as additional features provided in MariaDB 10.0 and 10.1 supporting roles and encryption.

I have also included slides for how easy it is to Hack MySQL and examples of denial of service attacks that are possible with even limited MySQL access.

Inconsistent messaging for OpenStackClient

by

As I mentioned earlier in Moving to OpenStackClient CLI I came across several differences in reconciling the legacy CLI tools.

I have also come across very inconsistent messaging. Here is a simple example.

In nova

$ nova list
ERROR (CommandError): You must provide an auth url via either --os-auth-url or env[OS_AUTH_URL] or specify an auth_system which defines a default url with --os-auth-system or env[OS_AUTH_SYSTEM]

In openstack

$ openstack service list
ERROR: openstack Authorization Failed: Cannot authenticate without an auth_url

$ openstack keypair list
ERROR: openstack Authentication requires 'auth_url', which should be specified in 'HTTPClient'

$ openstack catalog list
ERROR: openstack 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'auth'

$ openstack volume list
ERROR: openstack unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'

All three errors are effectively the same. That is I have not setup environment variables (OS_PROJECT_NAME, OS_AUTH_URL, OS_USERNAME, OS_PASSWORD) or passed all correctly as arguments.

In delving to the openstackclient source code specifically auth.py#147 I see another message “Set an authentication URL, with –os-auth-url, OS_AUTH_URL or auth.auth_url”. api.auth is also referenced in the Authentication Documentation as the place to start.

Time to delve in the code to see what I can find out.

cd
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/python-openstackclient
cd python-openstackclient
python tools/install_venv.py
source .venv/bin/activate
# Don't need sudo for local environment
which openstack

After setting OS_USERNAME, OS_PASSWORD, and OS_PROJECT NAME (and not setting OS_AUTH_URL in my test) I run the following.

$ openstack image list
WARNING: openstackclient.shell Possible error authenticating: Missing parameter(s):
Set an authentication URL, with --os-auth-url, OS_AUTH_URL or auth.auth_url

ERROR: openstack Missing parameter(s):
Set an authentication URL, with --os-auth-url, OS_AUTH_URL or auth.auth_url

This matches what I saw in the code, so it’s the installed version that is older code. While user, service and keypair lists returns the same message volume and catalog still do not.

(.venv)rbradfor@octogon:~/python-openstackclient$ openstack volume list
WARNING: openstackclient.shell Possible error authenticating: Missing parameter(s):
Set an authentication URL, with --os-auth-url, OS_AUTH_URL or auth.auth_url

ERROR: openstack unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'

(.venv)rbradfor@octogon:~/python-openstackclient$ openstack catalog list
WARNING: openstackclient.shell Possible error authenticating: Missing parameter(s):

ERROR: openstack 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'auth'

Moving to OpenStackClient CLI

by

In working with the keynote CLI within the TripleO scripts I came across the following deprecation warning message.

$ keystone token-get
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keystoneclient/shell.py:65: DeprecationWarning: The keystone CLI is deprecated in favor of python-openstackclient. For a Python library, continue using python-keystoneclient.
  'python-keystoneclient.', DeprecationWarning)

Time to switch to using the OpenStackClient, historically also called the unified CLI.

Very easy to install.

$ sudo pip install python-openstackclient

$ openstack help
usage: openstack help [-h] [cmd [cmd ...]]

print detailed help for another command

positional arguments:
  cmd         name of the command

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

I would also suggest you add the following alias to your startup shell rc.

alias os='openstack'

The --help option also provides a much detailed list of available argument options.

$ os --help
usage: openstack [--version] [-v] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [-q] [--debug]
                 [--os-region-name ]
                 [--os-cacert ] [--verify | --insecure]
                 [--os-default-domain ] [--timing]
                 [--os-compute-api-version ]
                 [--os-network-api-version ]
                 [--os-image-api-version ]
                 [--os-volume-api-version ]
                 [--os-identity-api-version ]
                 [--os-auth-type ] [--os-username ]
                 [--os-identity-provider ]
                 [--os-project-domain-name ]
                 [--os-project-domain-id ]
                 [--os-project-name ]
                 [--os-auth-url ]
                 [--os-trust-id ]
                 [--os-service-provider-endpoint ]
                 [--os-user-domain-id ]
                 [--os-domain-name ]
                 [--os-identity-provider-url ]
                 [--os-token ] [--os-domain-id ]
                 [--os-url ]
                 [--os-user-domain-name ]
                 [--os-user-id ] [--os-password ]
                 [--os-project-id ]
                 [--os-object-api-version ] [-h]

Command-line interface to the OpenStack APIs

optional arguments:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity of output. Can be repeated.
...

The new CLI provides a number of benefits above the consolidation of syntax into a single client. There is the flexibility in formatting output, both selecting columns and output format.

Working with nova for more simple initial examples.

$ nova image-list

As you can see the Status and Server columns are not in the default format. You can access a list of columns, however both the column order, and even the contents (e.g. ACTIVE v active) means you need to adjust your existing scripts. In this case Status exists, Server does not.

Column Options

openstack provides the ability to pass column names, so we can try to simulate what we seen in the legacy nova client.

$ openstack image list -c ID
+--------------------------------------+
| ID                                   |
+--------------------------------------+
| 1b79bbb2-e8b6-430f-8cb7-ced8f3589807 |
| e52bd241-db30-40e2-9230-40f21ff3e4c7 |
| 59e28cdf-c4af-4b02-bdeb-3779ec4c306d |
+--------------------------------------+

$ openstack image list -c ID -c Name
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| ID                                   | Name                            |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| 1b79bbb2-e8b6-430f-8cb7-ced8f3589807 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec         |
| e52bd241-db30-40e2-9230-40f21ff3e4c7 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-ramdisk |
| 59e28cdf-c4af-4b02-bdeb-3779ec4c306d | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-kernel  |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+

$ openstack image list -c ID -c Name -c Status
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| ID                                   | Name                            |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| 1b79bbb2-e8b6-430f-8cb7-ced8f3589807 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec         |
| e52bd241-db30-40e2-9230-40f21ff3e4c7 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-ramdisk |
| 59e28cdf-c4af-4b02-bdeb-3779ec4c306d | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-kernel  |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+

The Status column which is in both nova and openstack output above seems to provide no output or even an error. However if specified as the only individual column it draws an expected error message.

stack@ubuntu:~$ openstack image list -c Status
ERROR: openstack No recognized column names in ['Status']

Not knowing what the actual list of valid columns are, as it does not match the --long output we move on.

Update 4/23/15
It pays to read the source code, specifically openstackclient/image/v2/image.py. In order to list additional columns you must also specify --long.

$ python openstackclient/shell.py image list --long -c ID -c Name -c Status
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+--------+
| ID                                   | Name                            | Status |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+--------+
| c5153c2b-df9c-488c-995e-5cb347c0ee35 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec         | active |
| ac7e0c04-e47c-43da-ba28-b0d47d293eb7 | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-ramdisk | active |
| 52cc99f5-a9aa-4f27-98b8-d8ec762a246d | cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-kernel  | active |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+--------+

I should also point out that column names are Case Sensitive. Id is not valid.

$ python openstackclient/shell.py image list --long -c Id -c Name -c Status
+---------------------------------+--------+
| Name                            | Status |
+---------------------------------+--------+
| cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec         | active |
| cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-ramdisk | active |
| cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec-kernel  | active |
+---------------------------------+--------+

Format Options

One cool feature is the formatting options. There are currently 6 types.

TABLE

$ openstack image list --format table
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------+

Percona Live Presentation: Improving Performance With Better Indexes

by

The slides for my Improving Performance With Better Indexes presentation at Percona Live 2015 MySQL Conference and Expo are now available.

In this presentation I discuss how to identify, review and analyze SQL statements in order to create better indexes for your queries. This includes understanding the EXPLAIN syntax and how to create and identify covering and partial column indexes.

This presentation is based on the work with a customer showing the 95% improvement of a key 15 table join query running 15,000 QPS in a 25 billion SQL statements per day infrastructure.

As mentioned, Explaining the MySQL Explain is an additional presentation that goes into more detail for learning how to read Query Execution Plans (QEP) in MySQL.

Updating MySQL on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to MySQL 5.6

by

The Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS release only provides MySQL 5.1 and MySQL 5.5 using the default Ubuntu package manager.

Oracle (owners of the MySQL(tm)) now provide Debian/Ubuntu APT repositories for all GA and DMR versions of MySQL including supporting Ubuntu 12.04.

The following steps demonstrate upgrading from the Ubuntu 5.5 server package to the Oracle 5.6 server package.

Verify MySQL Packages

$ apt-cache search mysql-server
mysql-server - MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)
mysql-server-5.5 - MySQL database server binaries and system database setup
mysql-server-core-5.5 - MySQL database server binaries
auth2db - Powerful and eye-candy IDS logger, log viewer and alert generator
cacti - Frontend to rrdtool for monitoring systems and services
torrentflux - web based, feature-rich BitTorrent download manager

Verify MySQL on Server

$  dpkg -l | grep mysql
ii  libdbd-mysql-perl                      4.020-1build2                                       Perl5 database interface to the MySQL database
ii  libmysqlclient-dev                     5.5.34-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database development files
ii  libmysqlclient18                       5.5.34-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database client library
ii  mysql-client-5.5                       5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database client binaries
ii  mysql-client-core-5.5                  5.5.34-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database core client binaries
ii  mysql-common                           5.5.34-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database common files, e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf
ii  mysql-server-5.5                       5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database server binaries and system database setup
ii  mysql-server-core-5.5                  5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1                             MySQL database server binaries
ii  php5-mysqlnd                           5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8                                   MySQL module for php5 (Native Driver)

Results may vary based on dependencies.

Checking the MySQL error log (as it’s the right good practice to always do)

$ sudo tail -50 /var/log/mysql/error.log
150402 16:02:49 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
150402 16:02:49 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled

Version: '5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1'  socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'  port: 3306  (Ubuntu)

A check shows that this is not the most current version available of 5.5 using the Ubuntu packages.

$ apt-cache show mysql-server-5.5
Package: mysql-server-5.5
Priority: optional
Section: database
Installed-Size: 31947
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers 
Original-Maintainer: Debian MySQL Maintainers 
Architecture: amd64
Source: mysql-5.5
Version: 5.5.41-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
...

Package: mysql-server-5.5

Installed-Size: 31950
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers 
Architecture: amd64
Source: mysql-5.5
Version: 5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
...

Just to be consistent with keeping current versions, you may choose to update MySQL 5.5 to the current available version.

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.5
...

Installing Oracle APT Packaging

The recommended documented way to move to using the Oracle repo is:

cd /tmp
# See https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/ for your right distro version
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.3.3-2ubuntu12.04_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config*.deb

This unfortunately uses a cursors based interface which is not something you automate for production systems and not the approach I would suggest.

So doing what this does

echo "deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ precise mysql-apt-config
deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ precise mysql-5.6" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list
curl -s http://ronaldbradford.com/mysql/mysql.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Now we can look at available versions.


$ apt-cache search mysql-server
mysql-server-5.5 - MySQL database server binaries and system database setup
mysql-server-core-5.5 - MySQL database server binaries
auth2db - Powerful and eye-candy IDS logger, log viewer and alert generator
cacti - Frontend to rrdtool for monitoring systems and services
torrentflux - web based, feature-rich BitTorrent download manager
mysql-community-server - MySQL Server
mysql-server - MySQL Server meta package depending on latest version

This is where life gets a little confusing. Because Ubuntu supported MySQL 5.1 (as mysql-server) and MySQL 5.5 (as mysql-server-5.5) it can be misleading.

Description: MySQL Server meta package depending on latest version
 The MySQL(TM) software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user,
 and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server
 is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well
 as for embedding into mass-deployed software. MySQL is a trademark of
 Oracle. This is a meta package that depends on the latest mysql server
 package available in the repository.

Correcting errors

As you can see there are several warnings/errors when starting MySQL.

The first is

 mysqld_safe Can't log to error log and syslog at the same time.  Remove all --log-error configuration options for --syslog to take effect.

We solve this with

$ sudo rm -f /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf
$ sudo service mysql restart
 * Stopping MySQL Community Server 5.6.23
....
 * MySQL Community Server 5.6.23 is stopped
 * Re-starting MySQL Community Server 5.6.23
......
 * MySQL Community Server 5.6.23 is started

This is an Ubuntu default that conflicts with the my.cnf log_error were are familiar with in monitoring the MySQL error log. You can read my opinion on this in The correct approach to rolling MySQL logs

The second is

2015-04-02 17:06:17 0 [Warning] Using unique option prefix key_buffer instead of key_buffer_size is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use the full name instead.

We solve this with

sudo sed -ie "s/^key_buffer[^_]/key_buffer_size/" /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Next

2015-04-02 17:18:06 22123 [Warning] Using unique option prefix myisam-recover instead of myisam-recover-options is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use the full name instead.

We solve this with

sudo sed -ie "s/^myisam-recover[^-]/myisam-recover-options/" /etc/mysql/my.cnf

The warnings are interesting, and will part of the following post on MySQL 5.6 configuration changes discussed in the next point.

2015-04-02 17:22:08 22626 [Warning] Buffered warning: Changed limits: max_open_files: 1024 (requested 5000)
2015-04-02 17:22:08 22626 [Warning] Buffered warning: Changed limits: table_cache: 431 (requested 2000)

Leveraging MySQL 5.6 benefits

We may now have a MySQL 5.6 installation however we are far from utilizing the benefits of MySQL 5.6 fully. In a subsequent post I will talk about the configuration options we need to now consider, both new options such as innodb_purge_threads and important improvements such as sync_binlog. There are far greater complex changes including innodb_file_per_table, master_info_repository and relay_log_info_repository and then changes in defaults such as performance_schema

Validating MySQL version numbers

by

As part of a MySQL 5.5 to MySQL 5.6 upgrade across several Ubuntu servers of varying distros an audit highlighted a trivial but interesting versioning identification error in Ubuntu’s packaging of MySQL.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

$ sudo dpkg -l | grep mysql-server-5.5
ii  mysql-server-5.5   5.5.41-0ubuntu0.12.04.1  ...

$ mysql -uroot -p -e "SELECT VERSION()"
+-------------------------+
| VERSION()               |
+-------------------------+
| 5.5.41-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 |
+-------------------------+

But when you look at the mysql --version it does NOT say 5.5.41.

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.34, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

On 14.04 I get expected results.

$ sudo dpkg -l | grep mysql-server-5.5
ii  mysql-server-5.5       5.5.41-0ubuntu0.14.04.1   ...

rbradfor@rubble:~$ mysql -uroot -p -e "SELECT VERSION()"
+-------------------------+
| VERSION()               |
+-------------------------+
| 5.5.41-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 |
+-------------------------+

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.41, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.3

Dynamic recreation of InnoDB redo logs

by

MySQL 5.6 will now automatically recreate the InnoDB redo log files during a MySQL restart if the size (or number) of these logs changes, i.e. a change to innodb_log_file_size. See Changing the Number or Size of InnoDB Log Files which states “If InnoDB detects that the innodb_log_file_size differs from the redo log file size, it will write a log checkpoint, close and remove the old log files, create new log files at the requested size, and open the new log files.”

Before MySQL 5.6 it was necessary to stop MySQL and remove the InnoDB log files manually before restarting MySQL.

The error log shows:

tail -f /mysql/log/error.log
...
2015-03-28 21:51:25 3767 [Warning] InnoDB: Resizing redo log from 2*3072 to 2*65536 pages, LSN=1626017

2015-03-28 21:51:31 3767 [Warning] InnoDB: New log files created, LSN=1626017
...

It was however odd that MySQL had indicated it had successfully started but the underlying Redo log files were not complete and in-place as seen by the following directory listings.
