databases/mydumper 0.16.3.3 DragonFly

MyDumper is a MySQL Logical Backup Tool. It has 2 tools:

• mydumper which is responsible to export a consistent backup of MySQL databases
• myloader reads the backup from mydumper, connects the to destination database and imports the backup. Both tools use multithreading capabilities

Why do we need MyDumper?

• Parallelism (hence, speed) and performance (avoids expensive character set conversion routines, efficient code overall)
• Easier to manage output (separate files for tables, dump metadata, etc, easy to view/parse data)
• Consistency - maintains snapshot across all threads, provides accurate master and slave log positions, etc
• Manageability - supports PCRE for specifying database and tables inclusions and exclusions
