patch: kill if idle - where should I submit it?
David Stainton
I'd like to submit the kill-if-idle (google feature) patch to percona-server.
We use it here at Spinn3r to gracefully remove mysql client
connections from our database for master demotions/slave promotions,
for rolling upgrades etc...
I think kill-if-idle may be useful for others as well.
I'd like to see kill-if-idle become part of percona-server.
I've previously submitted this google mysql feature to ourdelta:
http://ourdelta.org/docs/kill-if-idle
Where would be place to submit this patch?
How should I use the percona-server launchpad to submit this code?
I have attached my kill-if-idle patch (i extracted this google code -
i didn't write it) which I used to patch the debian source package
percona-server-5.1.51-11.5-132.lenny
(http://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.1/Percona-Server-5.1.51-11.5/deb/lenny/x86_64/percona-server-dfsg-5.1_5.1.51-11.5-132.lenny.tar.gz)
Cheers,
David

Thanks for the patch!
Best way for us is you propose merge to lp:percona-server.
Also it should have test coverage in mysql-test suite.
Thanks,
Vadim

I'd like to push to my branch (so far it is empty:
https://code.launchpad.net/~david-spinn3r/percona-server/kill_if_idle)
and then propose the merge to lp:percona-server.
I did this:
bzr branch lp:percona-server
and got the repository of patches. However the Makefile suggests that
I should be using this to patch MYSQL_VERSION=5.1.55.
So I found mysql-5.1.55 here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#downloads
Should I make the kill_if_idle patch work with mysql-5.1.55?
Do I then make a branch of lp:percona-server with this patch file added to it?
I've already sent you a patch earlier in this thread.
I however made this patch against the percona debian source package.
I'd be happy to let someone else do this. I'm not very familiar with
your build system and working with launchpad.
I am now attempting to make it easier for you to integrate this patch
into percona-server.

Thats great. Thanks.
I'd suggest there be 2 tests:
Try to kill an idle connection and verify it was killed.
Try to kill a busy connection and verify it was not killed.
KILL IF_IDLE <connection_id> - Kill connection, but only if the
specified connection is idle.
Cheers,
David

I created https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-server/+bug/725436 to track
the progress on this.

Yes, unless it is decided to integrate the patch only to Percona Server
5.5. In which case lp:percona-server/5.5 and MySQL 5.5.9 would have to
be used.

Generally, yes, except that the branch is yet to be decided.

OK, I think we can take it from here.
So before this patch becomes a part of Percona Server we need to a)
decide whether the patch should be included to both 5.1 and 5.5 or only
to 5.5 b) write a test case for it.
Thanks and regards,
Alexey.
