Description:
Some requests for clarification:
1. The variable sql_log_bin should be listed at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-table.html
and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-master.html
2. At http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/show-slave-status.html , clarify that Replicate_Ignore_Server_Ids filtering is done by the IO thread, not the SQL thread. So the filtered-out events are not even written to the relay log (this is in contrast with other filters, like --replicate-do-*, which apply to the SQL thread)
3. Documentation for SHOW MASTER HOSTS generally does not make sufficiently clear what server it is talking about:
3.1 "Displays a list of replication slaves currently registered with the
master. The list is displayed on any server (not just the master
server)."
The list is displayed in a client, and nothing else :-) What
we need to say is that SHOW MASTER HOSTS should be executed on a
server that acts like a replication master, and it displays
information about servers that are or have been connected as
replication slaves. Each row of the result set corresponds to one
slave server.
3.2 "Server_id: The unique server ID of the slave server, as configured
in the server's option file,"
The server ID is configured in *that slave server's* option file.
3.3 "Host: The host name of the slave server, as configured in the
server's option file,"
Same here: the host name is configured in *that slave server's*
option file.
3.4 "Port: The port the slave server is listening on."
Can maybe be clarified as "Port: The port on this master server
that the slave server is listening on."
3.5 "Master_id: The unique server ID of the master server that the
slave server is replicating from."
This is very confusing, but that's mostly because the server is
doing something very strange. I don't know why it displays its own
server_id here, this is obviously misplaced. The server_id is
accessible as a variable, and in SHOW SLAVE HOSTS it gets
duplicated for each row in the result set.
So we can perhaps clarify that this is the server ID of the server
on which "SHOW SLAVE HOSTS" is executed, hence the same value is
listed for all rows on the result set.
4. SHOW MASTER HOSTS should probably be listed at either
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-slave-sql.html or
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-master-sql.html,
depending on what the statement does.
5. Each of slave-net-timeout, slave-load-tmpdir, and slave-skip-errors is
documented twice on
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-slave.html
Can we remove the duplicates?
6. The command line option for slave_compressed_protocol is documented
twice at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-slave.html
: first under the name --slave_compressed_protocol and then under the
name --slave-compressed-protocol. Please remove the duplicate and determine
if the option has dashes or underscores.
7. The --master-bind option is not documented. It is listed both at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-table.html
and at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-system-variables.html
. In both these places, it links to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options.html where
the option does not appear. See the documentation for CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_BIND.
