- VERSION
Maatkit has become part of Percona Toolkit, and there will be no further development or releases of Maatkit separately from Percona Toolkit.
mk-checksum-filter - Filter checksums from mk-table-checksum.
Usage: mk-checksum-filter [OPTION]... FILE
mk-checksum-filter filters checksums from mk-table-checksum and prints those that differ. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
Examples:
mk-checksum-filter checksums.txt
mk-table-checksum host1 host2 | mk-checksum-filter
mk-checksum-filter db1-checksums.txt db2-checksums.txt --ignore-databases
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.
See also BUGS for more information on filing bugs and getting help.
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.
An exit status of 0 (sometimes also called a return value or return code) indicates that no differences were found. If there were any differences, the tool exits with status 1.
--ignore-databases and --equal-databases are mutually exclusive.
This tool accepts additional command-line arguments. Refer to the SYNOPSIS and usage information for details.
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.
short form: -h
Preserves headers output by mk-table-checksum.
Show help and exit.
Ignore the database name when comparing lines.
This disables incremental processing, so you won't see any results until all input is processed.
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.
type: string
Show unique differing host/db/table names.
The argument must be one of host, db, or table.
short form: -v
Output all lines, even those that have no differences, except for header lines.
Show version and exit.
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.
The environment variable MKDEBUG enables verbose debugging output in all of
the Maatkit tools:
MKDEBUG=1 mk-....
You need Perl and some core packages that ought to be installed in any reasonably new version of Perl.
For a list of known bugs see 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.
