MetaDB configurations

The following table lists the tables contained in the MetaDB.

Table name Stored data
binlog_instances The information of all binlog instances.
config_template The parameters, which correspond to those stored in the local file conf.json.

tasks The records of operations on binlog instances. Valid values: 0 (create), 1 (delete), 2 (stop), 3 (start), and 4 (restore).
user The account username and account password for component authentication.

Generally, you only need to modify the config_template table in the preceding table list.

The following table describes the parameters in the config_template table.

Note

  • The value in the config_template table is used if it is different from that stored in the local file config_template.

  • For parameters of the Boolean type in the following table, the value 0 indicates false and the value 1 indicates true.

You can execute an SQL statement to modify the preceding parameters. For example, you can execute the following statement to disable enable_resource_check:

UPDATE config_template SET value='false' WHERE key_name='enable_resource_check';

After you modify the parameter, restart the binlog server node for the new configurations to take effect.

# Restart without using supervisord
./run.sh stop
./run.sh start

# Restart by using supervisord
supervisorctl restart binlog

Note

The restart does not affect the running binlog instances.
