XtraDB Cluster tuning

Hallo,

I have just set up a cluster with 3 nodes in vmware and I am very amazed so far on how easy this process is!

Before putting this to production, I was wondering what options are available for tuning compared to the simple percona extradb server or mysql55 server.Would something like the following be implemented ?

[mysqld]

GENERAL

user = mysql
default_storage_engine = InnoDB
socket = /var/lib/mysql/data/mysql.sock
pid_file = /var/lib/mysql/data/mysql.pid

MyISAM

key_buffer_size = 32M
myisam_recover = FORCE,BACKUP

SAFETY

max_allowed_packet = 16M
max_connect_errors = 1000000

DATA STORAGE

datadir = /var/lib/mysql/data/

BINARY LOGGING

log_bin = /var/lib/mysql/data/mysql-bin
expire_logs_days = 14
sync_binlog = 1

CACHES AND LIMITS

tmp_table_size = 32M
max_heap_table_size = 32M
query_cache_type = 0
query_cache_size = 0
max_connections = 500
thread_cache_size = 50
open_files_limit = 65535
table_definition_cache = 1024
table_open_cache = 2048

INNODB

innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
innodb_log_files_in_group = 2
innodb_log_file_size = 256M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_file_per_table = 1
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 12G

Thanks,

George

I have tuned my PXC nodes much the same way I tuned my stand alone servers. Just keep an eye on your memory usage. Since the galera engine will take up some overhead. So far our results have been good.
