NAME

mk-checksum-filter - Filter checksums from mk-table-checksum.

SYNOPSIS

    mk-checksum-filter checksums.txt
    mk-table-checksum host1 host2 | mk-checksum-filter
    mk-checksum-filter db1-checksums.txt db2-checksums.txt --ignore-databases
 
 

RISKS

The following section is included to inform users about the potential risks, whether known or unknown, of using this tool. The two main categories of risks are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g. read-only tools vs. read-write tools) and those created by bugs.

mk-checksum-filter is read-only and very low-risk.

At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm to users.

The authoritative source for updated information is always the online issue tracking system. Issues that affect this tool will be marked as such. You can see a list of such issues at the following URL: http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-checksum-filter <http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-checksum-filter>.

See also ``BUGS'' for more information on filing bugs and getting help.

DESCRIPTION

This program takes the unsorted, verbose output from mk-table-checksum and sorts it, then filters it so you only see lines that have different checksums or counts.

You can pipe input directly into it from mk-table-checksum, or you can save the mk-table-checksum's output and run mk-checksum-filter on the resulting file(s). If you run it against just one file, or pipe output directly into it, it'll output results during processing. Processing multiple files is slightly more expensive, and you won't see any output until they're all read.

EXIT STATUS

Exit status is 0 if no differences were found, 1 if any were.

OPTIONS

``--ignore-databases'' and ``--equal-databases'' are mutually exclusive.

--equal-databases

type: Hash

This comma-separated list of databases are equal.

These database names are always considered to have the same tables. In other words, this makes "database1.table1.chunk1" equal to "database2.table1.chunk1" if they have the same checksum.

This disables incremental processing, so you won't see any results until all input is processed.

--header

short form: -h

Preserves headers output by mk-table-checksum.

--help

Show help and exit.

--ignore-databases

Ignore the database name when comparing lines.

This disables incremental processing, so you won't see any results until all input is processed.

--master

type: string

The name of the master server.

Specifies which host is the replication master, and sorts lines for that host first, so you can see the checksum values on the master server before the slave.

--unique

type: string

Show unique differing host/db/table names.

The argument must be one of host, db, or table.

--verbose

short form: -v

Output all lines, even those that have no differences, except for header lines.

--version

Show version and exit.

DOWNLOADING

You can download Maatkit from Google Code at <http://code.google.com/p/maatkit/>, or you can get any of the tools easily with a command like the following:

    wget http://www.maatkit.org/get/toolname
    or
    wget http://www.maatkit.org/trunk/toolname
 
 

Where "toolname" can be replaced with the name (or fragment of a name) of any of the Maatkit tools. Once downloaded, they're ready to run; no installation is needed. The first URL gets the latest released version of the tool, and the second gets the latest trunk code from Subversion.

ENVIRONMENT

The environment variable "MKDEBUG" enables verbose debugging output in all of the Maatkit tools:

    MKDEBUG=1 mk-....
 
 

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

You need Perl and some core packages that ought to be installed in any reasonably new version of Perl.

BUGS

For list of known bugs see http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-checksum-filter <http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-checksum-filter>.

Please use Google Code Issues and Groups to report bugs or request support: <http://code.google.com/p/maatkit/>. You can also join #maatkit on Freenode to discuss Maatkit.

Please include the complete command-line used to reproduce the problem you are seeing, the version of all MySQL servers involved, the complete output of the tool when run with ``--version'', and if possible, debugging output produced by running with the "MKDEBUG=1" environment variable.
