Summary

  • Add MariaDB domain-server-seq GTID parsing and watermark serialization.
  • Auto-detect the reader snapshot GTID format and use @@gtid_binlog_pos when the executed-set column is absent.
  • Stream MariaDB GTID_EVENT as the existing ST=/I1=/I2= wire protocol with the domain as the id.
  • Add a live MariaDB 10.11 integration service and TAP coverage.

Test plan

  • make -C test/tap
  • ./test/tap/tests/test_mariadb_gtid-t 42/42
  • ./test/tap/tests/test_mariadb_gtid_stream-t 3/3 against MariaDB 10.11.18

Summary by cubic

Adds MariaDB GTID support to the binlog reader so it can snapshot and stream domain-server-sequence GTIDs on the existing ST=/I1=/I2= wire protocol.

  • Auto-detects MySQL vs MariaDB GTID strings; a present non-empty executed-set column is parsed with the auto-detecting parser and malformed text fails startup, while a missing or empty column falls back to @@gtid_binlog_pos (an empty value is a valid empty position before the server's first GTID).
  • Streams MariaDB GTID_EVENT with the domain as the wire id and sequence as the transaction id; @mariadb_slave_capability is now sent only to MariaDB servers.
  • to_string() keeps the wire format for domain keys (0:1-270); new to_display_string() emits the native 0-1-270 form.
  • Rejects domain/server ids wider than UINT32_MAX instead of truncating them, and skips re-delivered GTIDs already covered by the snapshot position.
  • Adds a MariaDB 10.11 docker-compose service and live TAP coverage (test_mariadb_gtid_stream-t) that pins the reader output against a shared wire-contract fixture duplicated in the ProxySQL repository.

Written for commit 866c6ee. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for reading MariaDB GTID positions from snapshots and live binlog streams, including positions across multiple domains. Existing replication message formats remain unchanged.
    • MariaDB GTID positions can be displayed with domain, server ID, and sequence information. MySQL GTID handling remains supported.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved snapshot handling when MariaDB does not provide a MySQL-style executed GTID set. Empty positions are accepted, while malformed or out-of-range GTID data is rejected.
    • Duplicate GTIDs no longer generate redundant position updates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds MariaDB GTID parsing, snapshot handling, and event streaming while retaining the existing wire protocol. GTID_Set stores server-ID metadata and supports separate wire and display formatting. TAP coverage and test infrastructure include MariaDB 10.11.

Changes

MariaDB GTID support

Layer / File(s) Summary
GTID representation and parsing
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-23-mariadb-gtid.md, docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-23-mariadb-gtid-design.md, mariadb_replication.cpp, mariadb_replication.h, proxysql_gtid.cpp, proxysql_gtid.h, test/tap/tests/test_mariadb_gtid-t.cpp
Adds parsing for MariaDB domain-server-sequence tokens. Each domain uses a sequence watermark. GTID_Set stores server IDs and separates wire and display formats. Parser tests cover bounds, duplicate sequences, and empty positions.
Snapshot and stream handling
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-23-mariadb-gtid.md, docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-23-mariadb-gtid-design.md, mariadb_replication.cpp, mariadb_replication.h, mariadb_replication_client.cpp, proxysql_binlog_reader.cpp
Snapshot handling accepts status results with File and Position, then reads GTID data from the optional fifth column or the MariaDB position query. Streaming handles MariaDB GTID_EVENT events. Duplicate GTIDs do not update tracking state or queue incremental updates.
MariaDB test setup and verification
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-23-mariadb-gtid.md, test/infra/docker-compose.yml, test/tap/run.sh, test/tap/tests/test_mariadb_gtid_stream-t.cpp, test/tap/wire_contract.h, test/tap/wire_contract/mariadb_gtid_wire.txt
Adds a MariaDB 10.11 service and configures the TAP runner to use the resolved MariaDB host and port. A live-stream test checks the initial watermark and two insert messages against shared wire-contract records.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 866c6

The usual MariaDB status response retains its initial GTID watermark, but a five-column response with an empty GTID value could omit an available watermark. Resolve that bounded snapshot risk before merging or explicitly accept it.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 866c6

A conditional snapshot-path mismatch could leave the reader waiting despite an available MariaDB position. No exploitable security path was established, but the changed state contract warrants review.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: If a MariaDB status response contains an empty fifth column while gtid_binlog_pos is nonempty, the snapshot discards that available watermark. The reader can then retry indefinitely instead of opening the stream. This response shape has not been verified in a supported server.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed production input boundary is the configured upstream replication connection: its status text and GTID events influence the watermark sent to connected reader clients. The supplied evidence does not establish an anonymous request path to those inputs.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The changed test executable takes environment-configured database and reader endpoints into database operations or a reader child process. It is a test boundary, not an identified production authorization entrypoint; exposure depends on where and with which credentials the harness runs.

State the fifth-column handling exactly: any present non-empty fifth
column is parsed with the combined auto-detecting parser, and malformed
non-empty text fails startup rather than falling through. The
@@GLOBAL.gtid_binlog_pos fallback runs only when the fifth column is
missing or empty, where an empty value is a valid empty GTID_Set.
master picked up three design-doc-only commits from the heartbeat branch
(PR #50) that duplicated this branch's own doc work, which conflicted on
merge. Keep this branch's version: it is the corrected one, and it carries
the to_string() wire/display split that the heartbeat copies lack.

Also disambiguate the Formats section, which described only the native
MariaDB text (domain-server-sequence, no colon) directly beneath the MySQL
wire id format, leaving it readable as a claim about the wire form. The
reader emits GTID_Set::to_string(), so a MariaDB id on the wire is
`domain:start-end` -- `ST=0:1-270`, with a colon. Both spellings are now
named and the wire form points at the serialization section.

Use the MariaDB fallback for an empty fifth column.

When the status result contains an empty fifth column, query @@GLOBAL.gtid_binlog_pos and use that value for the snapshot. The current branch treats the empty column as an empty GTID_Set, which can omit the available MariaDB watermark before stream startup.

The reader and the ProxySQL parser that consumes its output live in two
repositories, and CI never runs them against each other: ProxySQL pins the
reader to the published 2.4.0 image, which predates MariaDB GTID support, and
has no MariaDB binlog-reader infrastructure at all. The format between them
was therefore pinned only by a markdown design doc -- and that doc had already
drifted, describing the native domain-server-sequence spelling as the wire
form when the reader actually sends GTID_Set::to_string().

Add the wire lines as a fixture both repositories verify, so drift breaks a
check instead of a release. Sequence numbers are matched as runs of digits
because how many transactions a server has executed is not reproducible; the
literal skeleton -- kind, separators, field order, domain id -- is matched
exactly, which is the part that encodes the contract.

The reader half matches its live output against the fixture. Verified the
check is not vacuous: with the ST= template changed to the native spelling the
live test reports "reader sent 'ST=0:1-92' which does not match the fixture
template" and exits non-zero.
