Maintain TiDB Binlog

This document describes how to maintain TiDB Binlog of a TiDB cluster in Kubernetes.

Prerequisites

Enable TiDB Binlog of a TiDB cluster

TiDB Binlog is disabled in the TiDB cluster by default. To create a TiDB cluster with TiDB Binlog enabled, or enable TiDB Binlog in an existing TiDB cluster:

  1. Modify the values.yaml file as described below:

    • Set binlog.pump.create to true.

    • Set binlog.drainer.create to true.

    • Set binlog.pump.storageClassName and binlog.drainer.storageClassName to an available storageClass in your Kubernetes cluster.

    • Set binlog.drainer.destDBType to your desired downstream storage as needed, which is explained in details below.

      TiDB Binlog supports three types of downstream storage:

      • PersistenceVolume: the default downstream storage. You can configure a large PV for drainer (by modifying binlog.drainer.storage) in this case.
      • MySQL compatible databases: enabled by setting binlog.drainer.destDBType to mysql. Meanwhile, you must configure the address and credential of the target database in binlog.drainer.mysql.
      • Apache Kafka: enabled by setting binlog.drainer.destDBType to kafka. Meanwhile, you must configure the zookeeper address and Kafka address of the target cluster in binlog.drainer.kafka.

  2. Create a new TiDB cluster or update an existing cluster:

    • Create a new TiDB cluster with TiDB Binlog enabled:

      {{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

      helm install pingcap/tidb-cluster --name=<release-name> --namespace=<namespace> --version=<chart-version> -f <values-file>

    • Update an existing TiDB cluster to enable TiDB Binlog:

      {{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

      helm upgrade <release-name> pingcap/tidb-cluster --version=<chart-version> -f <values-file>

Deploy multiple drainers

By default, only one downstream drainer is created. You can install the tidb-drainer Helm chart to deploy more drainers for a TiDB cluster, as described below:

  1. Make sure that the PingCAP Helm repository is up to date:

    {{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

    helm repo update

    {{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

    helm search tidb-drainer -l

  2. Get the default values.yaml file to facilitate customization:

    helm inspect values pingcap/tidb-drainer --version=<chart-version> > values.yaml

  3. Modify the values.yaml file to specify the source TiDB cluster and the downstream database of the drainer. Here is an example:

    clusterName: example-tidb
clusterVersion: v3.0.0
storageClassName: local-storage
storage: 10Gi
config: |
  detect-interval = 10
  [syncer]
  worker-count = 16
  txn-batch = 20
  disable-dispatch = false
  ignore-schemas = "INFORMATION_SCHEMA,PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA,mysql"
  safe-mode = false
  db-type = "tidb"
  [syncer.to]
  host = "slave-tidb"
  user = "root"
  password = ""
  port = 4000

    The clusterName and clusterVersion must match the desired source TiDB cluster.

    For complete configuration details, refer to TiDB Binlog Drainer Configurations in Kubernetes.

  4. Deploy the drainer:

    {{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

    helm install pingcap/tidb-drainer --name=<release-name> --namespace=<namespace> --version=<chart-version> -f values.yaml

    Note:

    This chart must be installed to the same namespace as the source TiDB cluster.
