Apache Cotton (previously named Mysos) is an Apache Mesos framework for running MySQL instances. It dramatically simplifies the management of a MySQL cluster and is designed to offer: - Efficient hardware utilization through multi-tenancy (in performance-isolated containers)- High reliability through preserving the MySQL state during failure and automatic backing up to/restoring from HDFS- An automated self-service option for bringing up new MySQL clusters- High availability through automatic MySQL master failover- An elastic solution that allows users to easily scale up and down a MySQL cluster by changing the number of slave instances We’ll share our experience developing and using this framework.
