OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Can the container and account SQLite databases be migrated to MySQL?

Asked by Sree Bhaskar

Since most of the modules on OpenStack use MySQL, is there a way to migrate the SQLite databases (account and container server files) to MySQL? Has anyone tried this out and is this a supported configuration?

Thanks
Sree

With SQLite, each account and container DB replica is its own file, which is critical for availability during storage-node failure and also critical for replication. There's no way to switch that out for another SQL database, nor will there be.

The Red Hat Openstack documentation suggests that they use MySQL [1]. Is that a typo? Can someone confirm either way?

Maybe other stuff uses MySQL, but Swift does not. That document is wrong.

Can you help with this problem?
