Hack MySQL status update
Friday, September 19th, 2008I haven’t posted any update in 2 months not because I haven’t been doing anything but rather the opposite: I have been exceptionally busy. As Baron has noted, I work with Percona doing the maintenance and development for Maatkit, of which release 2325 was just published. Consequently, I haven’t been working on my own scripts, though hopefully that will change, and in some ways it must. Here’s what I have in mind for my own scripts:
mysqlsla: I’m going to create a hybrid between this and mk-log-parser. Whereas mysqlsla does some things that mk-log-parser doesn’t, mk-log-parser has a better, more maintainable code base. Furthermore, I’m currently working on other log handling code which will affect some future plans I had for mysqlsla such as grouping results and filtering by timestamp.
mysqlreport: Apparently, it’s “bug-free” because no one has reported a single problem with it in so long that I couldn’t even tell you when it was last released. Regardless, I have plans for this, too, such as better interaction with other scripts by decoupling the code, data and presentation further.
mysqlidxchk: This has needed serious work since its release which wasn’t possible for various “technical” reasons. But I can fix it now and make it better, more helpful.
In general, I’m also moving my entire code base to Google Code, too, since I’ll be re-using some Maatkit common modules in my own scripts. Plus, that will make it easier to track issues and changes for me and you.
