MySQL Error 4117: FILE Privilege Missing for Replication
Description
This error occurs during MySQL replication when the replica attempts to execute a 'LOAD DATA INFILE' statement received from the source. It indicates that the 'PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER' account, responsible for security checks on the replica, lacks the necessary 'FILE' privilege. This typically happens when the replication is configured to use the 'STATEMENT' binlog format.
Error Message
The PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER for channel '%s' would need FILE privilege to execute a LOAD DATA INFILE statement replicated in statement format. Consider using binlog_format=ROW on source. If the replicated events are trusted, recover from the failure by temporarily granting FILE to the PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER.
Known Causes
3 known causesMissing FILE Privilege
The 'PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER' on the replica server does not possess the 'FILE' privilege, which is required to process 'LOAD DATA INFILE' statements during replication.
Statement-Based Replication
The source server is configured to use 'binlog_format=STATEMENT', which replicates 'LOAD DATA INFILE' statements directly, thus requiring the 'FILE' privilege on the replica.
Replicating LOAD DATA INFILE
The source database contains or executes 'LOAD DATA INFILE' statements, and these are being replicated to the replica, triggering the privilege check.
