MySQL 8.0.22 was released roughly a week ago. It includes some nice additions to replication that we would like to call out. Here they are:
- Automatic Asynchronous Replication Connection Failover (WL#12649). This work, by Hemant Dangi, implements a mechanism in asynchronous replication that makes the replica automatically try to re-establish an asynchronous replication connection to another replication source, in case the current connection gets interrupted;
- New terminology for replica related statements (WL#14171).
