Description:
Replication in MySQL 5.6 rotates binlogs too frequently because it doesn't protect against concurrent rotation attempts when the binlog is full. The attempts after the first end up rotating the new binlog files which create many small ones. 

Thanks to Kristian Nielsen for explaining this. 

These are the binlog files during one run of sysbench. start/stop slave was not done. mysqld restart was not done. There are several small files.

How to repeat:
Run sysbench with concurrent threads. Thread stacks for one example came from http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68569

Suggested fix:

Thread stacks from a deadlock in bug 68569 show:
* 1 thread doing rotate
* 2 threads about to do rotate once they get LOCK_log

Thank you for the report.

Do you have options such as max_binlog_size or expire_log_days?
[6 Mar 2013 0:11] Mark Callaghan
I think the code is the problem. This is one example of the my.cnf that I used. I have get this  with both my IO-bound & cached update-only workloads produced by sysbench described at these links. This is easy to reproduce given sufficient concurrency.

Fixed in 5.6+. Documented in the 5.6.12 and 5.7.2 changelogs as follows:

        Extra binary log rotations were performed due to concurrent
        attempts at rotation when the binary log became full, which were
        allowed to succeed. This could lead to the unnecessary creation
        of many small binary log files.

Closed.
