NAME

       filter_mysqlbinlog - Trimming ROLLBACK statements and equivalent BINLOG events added by
       mysqlbinlog. This script is now obsolete.

SYNOPSIS

       mysqlbinlog binary_or_relay_log_file | filter_mysqlbinlog

       Note that this script is now obsolete and not used by MHA by default.

DESCRIPTION

       mysqlbinlog command provided by Oracle implicitly adds ROLLBACK statements and equivalent
       BINLOG events. But this causes problems when recovering slave servers. To recover slaves,
       MHA might need to apply the following binlog events.
        1) Relay log events from Relay_Log_Pos to the end of the relay log file
        2) Differential relay log events from the latest slave
        3) Differential binary log events from the dead master mysqlbinlog command needs to be
       executed on these files separately. If a transaction does not end by 1) or 2), implicit
       ROLLBACK event rolls back the transaction, which will result in inconsistency.
       filter_mysqlbinlog is a tool to fix this issue.  Note that ROLLBACK statements themselves
       are added in usual situations. For example, when you execute 1. BEGIN; 2. Updating
       transactional tables 3. Updating non-transactional tables  4. ROLLBACK, a ROLLBACK
       statement is written to the binary log to rollback transactional queries. This is normal
       situation so filter_mysqlbinlog must not remove all ROLLBACK events.

       Note that this script is now obsolete and not used by MHA by default.
