MariaDB 10.0.3 Alpha install on Fedora 17 x86_64
MariaDB 10.0.3 Alpha was just released.
So for those of you that recall my previous MariaDB 5.5 install post, I decided to see how it works with 10.0.3.
I like some of the features that are going into the MariaDB and Percona releases. Even if you are a big supporter of MySQL, when features are available in these releases that are not being back ported into MySQL releases DBAs have to review their options and make a choice.
So the install....
As I said before from the previous post I have this installed. So I will just to an upgrade first.
[root@Fedora64 10]# rpm -qa | grep maria
mariadb-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
mariadb-server-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
mariadb-libs-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
mariadb-bench-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
mariadb-devel-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
So packages conflicted at the start.
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-client.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-common.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-compat.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-connect-engine.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-devel.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-server.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-shared.rpm
MariaDB-10.0.3-fedora17-x86_64-test.rpm
[root@Fedora64 10]# rpm -Uhv *.rpm

MySQL-devel conflicts with (installed) mariadb-devel-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
MariaDB-server-10.0.3-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mariadb-server-5.5.31-1.fc17.x86_64
[root@Fedora64 10]#
So this is just a Virtualbox instance,
for demo and evaluation, so I just removed all that I could and had to uninstall. I was hopeful that an upgrade would work but this is Alpha code still.
ie:
[root@Fedora64 10]# rpm -e mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-bench
[root@Fedora64 10]# rpm -e mariadb-libs perl-DBD-MySQL percona-xtrabackup
So now that the past is cleared out...
[root@Fedora64 10]# rpm -ihv *.rpm

If you recall the past post, I got the init.d script this time..
[root@Fedora64 10]# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL..... SUCCESS!
[root@Fedora64 10]# mysql
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

If they are not terrible on performance then I do not see why these are not on by default:
vi /etc/my.cnf

Issues I found 30seconds after install...:
MariaDB [(none)]> show variables;
ERROR 1946 (HY000): Failed to load replication slave GTID position from table mysql.gtid_slave_pos
That is it so far... I have it installed and can review now...
UPDATE:
I have submitted this as a bug. The MariaDB team got right back to me and pointed out that I failed to run mysql_upgrade and restart. That fixed the Error listed above. Still variables feels like it should show everything it has but this is a valid fix and mistake on my part. Thank you to the MariaDB team.
