    Your timing was *GREAT!* Earlier last month I took 10 days off from DP (too busy with work). I wish I would have chosen my time better and avoided losing 45 trophy points, 30 likes and all my conversations zapped.

    Not the big deal for me.. Funny thing is that I didn't even noticed that some likes and posts are missing till one member PM me and said: ''You lost a lot mate, just like me, let's hope this will not happen again''.. I mean, I was totally confused, I didn't know what's happening..

    Another upside of being on the cluster... Right now (without needing to take anything down as far as end users are concerned), we are upgrading the database servers to MySQL 5.6.x (from 5.5.x).

    [ndbd(NDB)]    8 node(s)
id=11    @192.168.10.20  (mysql-5.6.11 ndb-7.3.2, starting, Nodegroup: 0)
id=12    @192.168.10.21  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 1, Master)
id=13    @192.168.10.22  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 2)
id=14    @192.168.10.23  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 3)
id=15    @192.168.10.24  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 0)
id=16    @192.168.10.25  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 1)
id=17    @192.168.10.26  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 2)
id=18    @192.168.10.27  (mysql-5.5.30 ndb-7.2.12, Nodegroup: 3)
    Code (markup):
    On "traditional" MySQL, the site would be down for maintenance right now.

    It is always dangerous to poke the "down for maintenance" gods.

    Another brief downtime today. I kept refreshing patiently was this a planned update? Everything seems intact, no data lost. Relieved:)

    Couple minutes were planned... had to rearrange a few services (namely memcached).

    Are the privileges for established members not working? or is it only me who is having problem? I don't see the Like button, I can't start a new thread...

    I thought hermits were anti social. Why would you want to interact with fellow members by creating a thread?:rolleyes:

    I walk in and read the first post, then I immediately go and setup automatic remote backups for my forum :p

    Good job I missed this I see, I can understand how bad it would be for all of you! That day must have been horrid :p

    But, no harm done really ;)

    Related side note - All tables for everything we do are now 100% in the cluster. The forum, tools, WordPress blogs and marketplace have been fully in the cluster for awhile. Digital Point Ads was mostly in the cluster, but 4 tables were not because it had some fairly complex queries against those tables that the cluster didn't like. Those queries have been simplified (well really it was denormalizing some things internally to make the query easier).

    Long story short is those last 4 straggler tables are now in the cluster as well.

    Oh, and backups are still working (haha)... retains all backups for the last 7 days, as well as every backup on the 1st of each month indefinitely.

    Have I mentioned how cool it is that we can now upgrade the database server to new versions of MySQL without any downtime? :)

    In the middle of upgrading all DB servers to MySQL 5.6.14 (MySQL Cluster 7.3).

    [ndbd(NDB)]    8 node(s)
id=11    @192.168.10.20  (mysql-5.6.14 ndb-7.3.3, starting, Nodegroup: 0)
id=12    @192.168.10.21  (mysql-5.5.31 ndb-7.2.13, Nodegroup: 1)
id=13    @192.168.10.22  (mysql-5.5.31 ndb-7.2.13, Nodegroup: 2, *)
id=14    @192.168.10.23  (mysql-5.5.31 ndb-7.2.13, Nodegroup: 3)
