The document outlines the new features and improvements in MariaDB, including enhancements to performance, security, and temporal capabilities across different versions such as 10.3 and 10.4. Key updates include instant operations for altering tables, an enhanced authentication system with data-at-rest encryption, and the introduction of application-time period tables for tracking valid data changes. Additionally, it discusses high availability features with support for group commits and streaming replication in the MariaDB cluster.

- 23. Overview ● Enhanced Authentication and Privilege System ● Improvements for Data-at-Rest ● Enhancements to Security Maintenance For MariaDB Enterprise Server ● Audit Plugin Enhancements* ● Galera Data-at-Rest encryption for Gcache*
- 24. Enhanced Authentication / Privilege System ● Password Expiration ○ To fulfill enhanced security requirements ● Disable User Accounts via SQL ○ Allows to temporarily lock an account ● SET PASSWORD statement ○ Simplifies changing a password ● Enable authentication via unix_socket by default ○ mysql_secure_installation will ask for setup unix_socket based authentication ● Multiple Authentication Methods per User ○ Allows to verify a user internally if an external authentication is currently not available ● Block user accounts after a number of failed login attempts
- 25. Improvements for Data-at-Rest ● Key rotation now also for the InnoDB Redo Log ○ It was a limitation for the redo log that key rotation was not possible ● Full Data-at-Rest Encryption also for MariaDB Cluster (Enterprise Feature) ○ The Galera Cluster Gcache (IST Transaction Log) is now encrypted ○ Encryption enabled by using binary log Data-at-Rest encryption ● Spatial Index for InnoDB is now providing Data-at-Rest encryption
- 26. Enhancements to Security Maintenance ● Dynamic loading of SSL certificates ○ SSL certificates can be reloaded without a server restart ○ Certificate revocation list (CRL) reload ● Server log includes information about ignored passwords ○ Passwords are ignored if external authentication is used ● New format for the user table for future enhancements
- 27. Audit Plugin Enhancements ● Enhanced internal API ○ When writing a plugin, more information is available ● Enterprise Audit Plugin ○ Flexible User based filter definition for auditing ■ Auditing requirements for human users and application users can be different ○ Filters and templates defined in system tables ○ Auditing configuration options and changes can be logged ○ Connections can be filtered
- 28. Temporal Application-Time Period Tables Performance Security Temporal High Availability Temporal
- 29. Overview ● MariaDB Server 10.3 introduced System Versioned Tables ○ Tracking data changes based on “system time of change” ○ Special requirement for auditing ● NEW: Application-Time Period Tables ○ Tracking data changes based on the time, a change is valid for ○ Application controlled timestamps ○ Limitation: The option WITHOUT OVERLAPS is not yet supported
- 30. Compare Type of Temporal ● Time of change by system time ● Forensic analysis & legal requirements ○ Store data for N years. ● Data analytics (retrospective, trends etc.) ● Point-in-time recovery - recover as of particular point in time System Versioned ● Valid time period defined by application ● Insurance Applications ● Banking (transfer limit, ...) ● whenever data has to be valid for a given start and end date “period of interest” Application-Time Period Tables
- 31. Bitemporal Application-Time Period + System Versioned Tables combined in one Table
- 32. Application-Time Period Tables ● With Application-Time Period Tables the timestamps of the period are defined by the user/application ○ Period of validity defined and changed by INSERT, UPDATE acc_num Start End maxTrans 1234 2010-01-01 2011-11-12 5000 acc_num Start End maxTrans 1234 2010-01-01 2011-11-12 5000 1234 2011-02-03 2011-09-10 10000 1234 2011-09-10 2011-11-12 5000 UPDATE Emp FOR PORTION OF accPeriod FROM DATE '2011-02-03' TO DATE '2011-09-10' SET maxTrans = 10000 WHERE acc_num = 1234;

- 35. Support of MariaDB group commits ● MariaDB Server group commits allow parallel replication ○ Galera now also can gain advantage of the grouped transactions ● A group of transactions can be committed as a block ● Performance advantages where non-conflicting transactions exist
- 36. Streaming Replication ● Size of a transaction limited in MariaDB Cluster 10.3 ● No limitation with streaming replication ○ Recommendation: Huge transactions still should be an exception ● Transaction replicated in fragments Huge Transaction Support
- 37. Optimized Backup
- 38. Overview ● Optimized “FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK” (FTWRL) ○ Instant FTWRL for not used tables ○ Second FTWRL for the rest of the tables when not used anymore ● Implementation of backup stages ○ Engine aware locking methods ● BACKUP LOCK statement ○ Meta lock on a table to block DDL ○ Allows consistent copy of dependent files ● Enterprise Backup tool to create consistent backups while minimizing needed locks ○ DDL allowed to execute in parallel ○ Locking minimized for all engine
- 39. And even more ...
- 40. Overview ● Crash safe system tables by using Aria ● Validation for field type JSON ○ The JSON_VALID constraint will be added by default ● Unique indexes are now available also for blobs ● Support of brackets (parentheses) in UNION/EXCEPT/INTERSECT
