The method for installing and configuring HandlerSocket is as follows:

  1. Install the HandlerSocket extension
  2. Download HandlerSocket by cloning the repository from https://github.com/ahiguti/HandlerSocket-Plugin-for-MySQL.git.
  3. Change directory to the HandlerSocket directory: cd HandlerSocket-Plugin-for-MySQL.
  4. Compile and install the extension: run “./autogen.sh”, then “./configure”, followed by “make” and “make install”.
  5. Set up MySQL Server
  6. Edit the MySQL configuration file by using the command: sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  7. Add the following configuration to the [mysqld] section: # Enable the HandlerSocket plugin
    handlersocket_address = localhost
    handlersocket_port = 9998
    handlersocket_port_wr = 9999
    handlersocket_threads = 16
    handlersocket_threads_wr = 1
    handlersocket_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
    handlersocket_max_open_tables = 128
    handlersocket_max_tmp_tables = 32
    handlersocket_readsize = 64k
    handlersocket_keysize = 1024
    handlersocket_worker_threads = 16
    handlersocket_index_threads = 16
    handlersocket_accept_threads = 16
    handlersocket_debug = false
  8. Save and exit the configuration file.
  9. Restart the MySQL service: sudo service mysql restart.
  10. Test HandlerSocket
  11. Open the MySQL console by typing: mysql -u root -p
  12. Create a test table and insert data:
    CREATE DATABASE test;
    USE test;
    CREATE TABLE users (id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(255), email VARCHAR(255));
    INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (‘John Doe’, ‘john@example.com’);
  13. Query data using HandlerSocket: SELECT id, name, email FROM users WHERE id = 1;

    This will return a result like [1,”John Doe”,”john@example.com”], indicating a successful query.

By doing this, you have successfully installed and configured HandlerSocket. This allows you to perform high-performance read and write operations, which are faster than traditional SQL queries.
