Hi again
Yesterday, Kate told me that the problem with replication from the Asian cluster is that mysql can only connect to one replication master. I have googeled a bit, and it appears that that is not true (at least for MySQL 5.1): http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-intro.html says:
Multiple-master replication is possible, but raises issues not present in single-master replication. See Section 6.15, “Auto-Increment in Multiple-Master Replication”.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-auto-increment.html talks about problems with auto-increment keys, which should not affect us, since databases replicated from each master would be disjunct.
I have not dug deeper yet, but I'm probably not the best person to fiddle with that anyway.
I hope one of you can have a look at it - having no data from the Asian wikis on the toolserver is a serious problem.
Regards, Daniel
