MariaDB Error 1278: Replication Slave Start Recommendation
Description
This error is a recommendation from MariaDB, indicating that when performing step-by-step replication using `START SLAVE UNTIL`, you should also use the `--skip-slave-start` option. Failure to do so can lead to problems if the slave's `mysqld` process unexpectedly restarts, potentially causing replication inconsistencies.
Error Message
It is recommended to use --skip-slave-start when doing step-by-step replication with START SLAVE UNTIL; otherwise, you will get problems if you get an unexpected slave's mysqld restart
Known Causes
3 known causesOmitting --skip-slave-start
You initiated step-by-step replication with `START SLAVE UNTIL` without including the `--skip-slave-start` option in the slave's configuration or startup.
Manual Replication Control
The error specifically arises when using `START SLAVE UNTIL` to meticulously control the slave's replication process.
Risk of Unexpected Restart
Without `--skip-slave-start`, an unexpected `mysqld` restart on the slave could cause unintended replication behavior or data inconsistencies.
