Multisource replication

All the procedures explained previously also apply to multisource replication. The difference is that, with multisource replication, each slave associates each master-slave connection to a unique ID. This allows the replication commands and the configuration variables to refer to a particular master.

For example, we generally do not want to start or stop all the I/O threads, but only one of them.

Thus, all replication-related SQL statements support a parameter that specifies which connection they refer to. For example:

CHANGE MASTER 'connection_name' TO …
START SLAVE 'connection_name1' 'connection_name2'
STOP SLAVE 'connection_name1' 'connection_name2'
RESET SLAVE 'connection_name'

Also, it is possible to start or stop all the slave I/O threads using the following syntax:

START ALL SLAVES
STOP ALL SLAVES

When the connection name is not specified in a command, and the ALL keyword is not present, the default connection is used. Initially, it is an empty string. It...
