How much of what is contained within this analysis of MySQL is going to be the same-same for MariaDB, given that it uses InnoDB as the default storage engine?
> We designed a small test suite for MySQL using the Jepsen testing library at version 0.3.4. We used the mysql-connector-j JDBC adapter as our client. We tested MySQL 8.0.34, and MariaDB 10.11.3 on Debian Bookworm. Our tests ran against a single MySQL node as well as binlog-replicated clusters with one or two read-only followers, without failover. We also ran our test suite against a hosted MySQL service: AWS’s RDS Cluster, using the “Multi-AZ DB Cluster” profile. This is the recommended default for production workloads, and offers a binlog-replicated deployment of MySQL 8.0.34 where secondary nodes support read queries.
Most concerning to me is how practically none of these had anything to do with “distributed computing”. It seems that MySQL in single-server mode is still liable to corrupt data with nontrivial workloads.You wouldn't assume that Plex and XMBC shared much compatibility despite forking around the same time.
