Yes. This is how the shell code looks:

mysql -S ${SLAVE_SOCKET} -u root -e "SET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos=''"
mysql -S ${SLAVE_SOCKET} -u root -e "change master to
master_host='127.0.0.1', master_user='rep', master_use_gtid=current_pos"
mysql -S ${SLAVE_SOCKET} -u root -e "start slave io_thread"

ok?

I see

Actually I haven't tested "MariaDB + multi databases + single GTID
domain". But I don't expect this the behave significantly different from
"MariaDB + single database + single GTID domain". Or will it?

So far the contestants are:

MySQL + single db
MySQL + 32 db
MariaDB + single db
MariaDB + 32 db + 32 GTID domains

where the last one should compare best to "MySQL + 32 db"


Two related questions from me:

1. is there an upper limit for the number of trx per commit group? Any
variables influencing that? commit_wait_count? innodb_log_buffer_size?

2. with multiple GTID domains - do START SLAVE ... UNTIL
master_gtid_pos=... and MASTER_GTID_WAIT(...) work as expected?

What I expect is this: trx in the binlog/relaylog have a strict order.
If a position is given per GTID, the terms /before/ and /after/ that
GTID should be based on the position in the log. Does that hold with
multiple slave threads?
