-
3
- This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
4
-
5
- ## Project Overview
6
-
7
- @vlasky/zongji is a MySQL binlog listener for Node.js that supports MySQL 5.7-8.4. It provides real-time change data capture (CDC) by listening to MySQL binary log events.
8
-
9
- The library uses `mysql2` for connections and authentication while implementing custom binlog protocol parsing.
10
-
11
- ## Development Commands
12
-
13
- ```bash
14
- # Install dependencies
15
- npm install
16
-
17
- # Run zongji tests (requires Docker)
18
- npm test
19
-
20
- # Run linter
21
- npm run lint
22
-
23
- # Check TypeScript definitions and JS type errors
24
- npm run checkjs
25
- ```
26
-
27
- ## Docker MySQL Client Command
28
-
29
- - Use this command to launch the mysql client: docker exec -it docker-mysql mysql -u root -psecret
30
-
31
- ## Architecture Overview
32
-
33
- The codebase follows an event-driven architecture with these key components:
34
-
35
- 1. **Main Entry**: `index.js` - ZongJi class extending EventEmitter
36
- 2. **Dual Connection Pattern**:
37
- - Control connection for queries/metadata
38
- - Binlog connection for streaming events
39
- 3. **Event Processing Pipeline**:
40
- - Custom `Command` class in `lib/sequence/binlog.js` for mysql2 integration
41
- - Binary protocol parsing via `Parser` class in `lib/reader.js`
42
- - Event type definitions in `lib/binlog_event.js`
43
- - Row event handling in `lib/rows_event.js`
44
- - Type-specific decoders (datetime, JSON) in lib/
45
-
46
- ## Key Implementation Details
47
-
48
- - **Module System**: Uses ES modules (ESM) with import/export syntax
49
- - **TypeScript Support**: Includes TypeScript definitions (index.d.ts)
50
- - **MySQL Driver**: Uses `mysql2` for connections, authentication (including caching_sha2_password), and base protocol
51
- - **Custom Binlog Command**: Implements COM_BINLOG_DUMP (0x12) via custom `Command` class compatible with mysql2's command queue
52
- - **Parser Compatibility**: Custom `Parser` class in `lib/reader.js` provides mysql2 packet parsing interface
53
- - **Event Filtering**: Schema and event-type filtering before emission
54
- - **Position Tracking**: Maintains binlog filename and position for resumable processing
55
- - **Table Metadata**: Caches table structures for efficient row decoding
56
- - **Checksum Support**: Automatic detection and handling of binlog checksums (CRC32)
57
- - **Timezone Support**: Datetime decoders respect mysql2's `timezone` connection option
58
- - **GTID Support**: Parses Gtid, AnonymousGtid, and PreviousGtids events
59
-
60
- ## Testing
61
-
62
- Tests use Docker Compose with MySQL containers:
63
- - Configuration in `docker-compose.yml`
64
- - Test database setup in `test/helpers/`
65
- - Event-specific tests in `test/` directory
66
- - Uses `tap` test framework (v21+)
67
-
68
- **Before running tests**, always:
69
- 1. Ensure Docker containers are running: `docker-compose up -d` (or specific services e.g. `docker-compose up -d mysql80 mysql84`)
70
- 2. Note: MySQL 5.7 image does not support ARM64 (Apple Silicon) — skip it on those machines
71
- 3. Wait for MySQL to be ready before running tests (containers need ~10-15 seconds to initialise)
72
-
73
- When modifying binlog parsing or adding event support, ensure tests cover:
74
- - Event parsing correctness
75
- - Position tracking accuracy
76
- - Error handling scenarios
77
- - MySQL version compatibility
78
-
79
- ## Common Development Tasks
80
-
81
- 1. **Adding new event types**: Update `lib/binlog_event.js` and `lib/code_map.js`
82
- 2. **Supporting new MySQL types**: Modify type parsing in `lib/rows_event.js` and `lib/common.js`
83
- 3. **Protocol changes**: Update `lib/sequence/binlog.js` for command handling, `lib/reader.js` for parsing
84
- 4. **Connection handling**: Modify `index.js` for connection lifecycle changes
85
-
86
- ## Requirements
87
-
88
- - Node.js >= 18.0
89
- - MySQL 5.7, 8.0, or 8.4 with binlog enabled
90
-
91
- ## Development Principles
92
-
93
- - **Avoid Duplicate Code**: Avoid creating duplicate code or duplicate functionality
94
-
95
- # important-instruction-reminders
96
- Do what has been asked; nothing more, nothing less.
97
- NEVER create files unless they're absolutely necessary for achieving your goal.
98
- ALWAYS prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one.
99
- NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested by the User.

- # GTID discussion
2
-
3
- This file summarizes our discussion about GTID handling in zongji and possible
4
- exposure patterns for application use.
5
-
6
- ## Current behavior
7
-
8
- - GTID-related binlog events are parsed and emitted as their own events:
9
- - `Gtid`
10
- - `AnonymousGtid`
11
- - `PreviousGtids`
12
- - The GTID event objects contain:
13
- - `event.gtid` (string: `uuid:sequence`)
14
- - `event.sid` (UUID string)
15
- - `event.gno` (sequence number)
16
- - For `PreviousGtids`: `event.sids` and `event.gtidSet`
17
- - Row events (`WriteRows`, `UpdateRows`, `DeleteRows`) do not currently include
18
- GTID information.
19
-
20
- ## Practical uses for GTID
21
-
22
- - Checkpointing: store the latest GTID and resume from it after restart/failover.
23
- - Deduplication / exactly-once: use GTID as a unique transaction ID.
24
- - Auditing / debugging: correlate binlog events with replication state.
25
-
26
- ## Transaction boundaries
27
-
28
- - Start of a GTID transaction:
29
- - `Gtid` event (when `gtid_mode=ON`).
30
- - Start of a non-GTID transaction:
31
- - `Query` event with `BEGIN`.
32
- - End (commit) of row-based transactions:
33
- - `Xid` event.
34
- - End (commit/rollback) of statement-based transactions:
35
- - `Query` event with `COMMIT` or `ROLLBACK`.
36
-
37
- ## Open questions / options
38
-
39
- 1) Add `zongji.lastGtid`:
40
- - Updated when a `Gtid` or `AnonymousGtid` event is received.
41
- - Useful for external checkpointing without subscribing to GTID events.
42
-
43
- 2) Attach `event.gtid` to row events:
44
- - Copied from `zongji.lastGtid`.
45
- - Lets users compare row events to see when GTID changes.
46
- - Only reliable when `gtid_mode=ON` (undefined for non-GTID transactions).
47
-
48
- 3) Add high-level transaction boundary events:
49
- - Emit `transactionStart`/`transactionCommit`/`transactionRollback` with
50
- GTID and event metadata.
51
-
52
- Notes:
53
- - Adding `event.gtid` and/or `zongji.lastGtid` is additive and should be
54
- backward-compatible, but it depends on GTID mode being enabled in MySQL.

- # TODO: MySQL 8 binlog events and partial JSON support
2
-
3
- This note summarizes the discussion about additional MySQL 8 binlog events and
4
- partial JSON handling.
5
-
6
- ## Events not currently supported
7
-
8
- - PARTIAL_UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT
9
- - TRANSACTION_PAYLOAD_EVENT
10
- - HEARTBEAT_LOG_EVENT_V2
11
-
12
- Currently these events are not mapped in `lib/code_map.js`, so they arrive as
13
- `Unknown` and are effectively ignored.
14
-
15
- ## Practical impact
16
-
17
- - PARTIAL_UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT:
18
- - Emitted when `binlog_row_value_options=PARTIAL_JSON`.
19
- - Encodes JSON diffs instead of full JSON values.
20
- - Only appears if partial JSON is enabled.
21
- - TRANSACTION_PAYLOAD_EVENT:
22
- - Used with transaction compression (MySQL 8.0.20+).
23
- - Wraps multiple events in a compressed payload.
24
- - Only appears if transaction compression is enabled.
25
- - HEARTBEAT_LOG_EVENT_V2:
26
- - Replication keepalive/monitoring; no data changes.
27
-
28
- ## Possible support approach
29
-
30
- 1) Add event mappings and parsers:
31
- - Update `lib/code_map.js` to map event IDs.
32
- - Implement parser classes in `lib/binlog_event.js` (and any helpers).
33
- 2) Extend tests:
34
- - Add targeted tests that enable the corresponding MySQL settings.
35
- - Assert event emission and basic payload shape.
36
-
37
- ## Partial JSON strategy options
38
-
39
- - Option A: expose raw JSON diff data from PARTIAL_UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT.
40
- - Lowest effort; consumers apply patches.
41
- - Option B: reconstruct full JSON values.
42
- - Requires FULL row image or a row-state cache to apply diffs.
43
- - More complex but produces complete row values.

- # Task Summary: MySQL2 Binlog Implementation
2
-
3
- **Goal:** Add robust MySQL binlog support to mysql2 for @vlasky to eliminate using two MySQL packages (@vlasky/mysql + mysql2). Implementing Change Data Capture (CDC) functionality.
4
-
5
- ## Current Status
6
-
7
- ### ✅ MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH JUST ACHIEVED
8
- **Fixed BIGINT precision loss bug** - Was causing data corruption:
9
- - **Problem:** `-9223372036854775808` became `-9223372036854776000`
10
- - **Root Cause:** Wrong value parser being used in row events
11
- - **Solution:** Updated `binlog_dump.js` row events to use `RobustValueParser` instead of `MysqlValueParser`
12
-
13
- ### ✅ Completed Tasks
14
- - Schema caching with information_schema lookup
15
- - Binlog positioning from END (zongji approach)
16
- - Race condition fixes between schema fetch and row processing
17
- - Basic integer and string parsing
18
- - BIGINT values now returned as strings with full precision
19
-
20
- ### 🔄 Current Priority
21
- **DECIMAL/NUMERIC parsing** - All showing 0 values (next to fix in `RobustValueParser._parseNewDecimal()`)
22
-
23
- ### ⏳ Remaining Issues
24
- - Date/Time parsing (NaN:NaN:NaN errors)
25
- - ENUM/SET parsing (Invalid Date objects)
26
- - JSON parsing issues
27
- - Schema column names timing (values correct, names generic)
28
-
29
- ## Critical Lessons Learned (To Avoid Future Mistakes)
30
-
31
- ### 1. **Always Verify Which Code is Actually Executing**
32
- - **Mistake:** I created TWO value parsers but only one was being used
33
- - **Lesson:** If debug output doesn't appear, the code path isn't being executed
34
- - **Fix:** Always trace the actual call flow, don't assume
35
-
36
- ### 2. **Use Git Diff to Understand Your Own Implementation**
37
- - **Breakthrough:** User's suggestion to run `git diff` revealed the wrong parser being used
38
- - **Lesson:** When stuck, examine exactly what code you built vs. what's being called
39
-
40
- ### 3. **Key Context: mysql2 Had NO Binlog Parsing Before Today**
41
- - **Critical:** Everything is custom implementation, not extending existing mysql2 binlog code
42
- - **Implication:** All parsing logic, event handling, schema management is new code
43
-
44
- ### 4. **Follow the Data Flow Architecture**
45
- ```
46
- binlog_dump.js → Row Events → Value Parsers → Schema Lookups
47
- ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
48
- Main Handler → WriteRows/ RobustValue → information_schema
49
- UpdateRows/ Parser
50
- DeleteRows
51
- ```
52
-
53
- ### 5. **Debugging Strategy That Works**
54
- - Add debug output to suspected code paths
55
- - If debug doesn't appear → code not being executed
56
- - Use `git diff` to see what was actually built
57
- - Trace from entry point to actual execution
58
-
59
- ## Technical Architecture Summary
60
- - **Dual Connection Pattern:** Control connection + binlog connection
61
- - **Event Types:** TableMap, WriteRows, UpdateRows, DeleteRows
62
- - **Value Parsing:** RobustValueParser with Long library for 64-bit safety
63
- - **Schema Strategy:** Global cache + pause/resume mechanism (zongji approach)
64
- - **BIGINT Solution:** Always return as strings to prevent JS precision loss
65
-
66
- ## Files Modified
67
- - `/home/vlasky/github/mysql2/lib/commands/binlog_dump.js` - Fixed to use RobustValueParser
68
- - `/home/vlasky/github/mysql2/lib/robust_value_parser.js` - BIGINT fixes with Long library
69
- - `/home/vlasky/github/mysql2/lib/binlog_event_parsers.js` - Event parsing framework
70
-
71
- ## Next Steps
72
- 1. Fix DECIMAL parsing (showing 0 values)
73
- 2. Fix Date/Time parsing (NaN errors)
74
- 3. Fix ENUM/SET parsing
75
- 4. Validate against zongji results
76
-
77
- **Key Success:** BIGINT precision loss is now fixed - the most critical data integrity issue is resolved!

- The MySQL binlog protocol requires continuous, uninterrupted reading from the TCP socket. Any delay in processing incoming packets can cause the client's state machine to desynchronize from the server's stream, leading to:
12
-
13
- ```
14
- Error: Unexpected packet while no commands in the queue
15
- at Connection.protocolError (/home/vlasky/github/mysql2/lib/base/connection.js:407:17)
16
- ```
17
-
18
- ### The Event Loop Contention Problem
19
-
20
- **Original Implementation:**
21
- 1. TableMap event arrives → immediately parsed
22
- 2. Schema metadata needed → `await` INFORMATION_SCHEMA query
23
- 3. Promise microtasks scheduled → **event loop blocked**
24
- 4. Binlog stream starved → connection desync → protocol error
25
-
26
- **Technical Root Cause:**
27
- Even a 5ms `setTimeout` during TableMap processing was sufficient to trigger the protocol error, proving that **any microtask delay during binlog processing breaks mysql2's internal state machine**.
28
-
29
- ### The Data Corruption Issue
30
-
31
- When schema metadata wasn't available during row event parsing, unsigned integers were incorrectly parsed as signed values:
32
-
33
- - TINYINT UNSIGNED 255 → parsed as -1 (signed)
34
- - BIGINT UNSIGNED 18446744073709551615 → parsed as "-1" (signed)
35
-
36
- This occurred because `_isUnsigned()` fallback logic assumed signed values when `COLUMN_TYPE` metadata was missing.
37
-
38
- ## Solution Architecture
39
-
40
- ### 1. Worker Thread Schema Isolation
41
-
42
- **Implementation:**
43
- - Dedicated Node.js worker thread for INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries
44
- - Isolated from main event loop → **zero impact on binlog processing**
45
- - Fire-and-forget messaging → no `await` or promise coordination in main thread
46
-
47
- **Benefits:**
48
- - Main thread stays **100% dedicated** to binlog socket processing
49
- - Heavy JSON parsing/object hydration happens off-thread
50
- - MySQL connection pool isolation prevents protocol conflicts
51
-
52
- ### 2. Raw Packet Buffering Strategy
53
-
54
- **Key Insight:** The timing issue occurs because events are parsed **before** schema metadata is available. The solution is to defer parsing until schema is ready.
55
-
56
- **Implementation Flow:**
57
- 1. **TableMap Event:** Parse immediately, trigger schema fetch (fire-and-forget)
58
- 2. **Row Events:** Detect pending schema → buffer **raw binary packet data**
59
- 3. **Schema Resolved:** Re-parse buffered packets with correct metadata
60
- 4. **Emit Events:** Process with accurate unsigned/signed interpretation
61
-
62
- **Critical Technical Details:**
63
- ```javascript
64
- // Wrong: Parse immediately with missing schema
65
- event = new EventParser(packet, this.tableMap, this.useChecksum, this);
66
-
67
- // Right: Buffer raw packet for later parsing
68
- const rawPacketData = Buffer.from(packet.buffer, packet.offset, packet.end - packet.offset);
69
- this.rawPacketBuffers.get(cacheKey).packets.push({
70
- header: { ...header },
71
- rawData: rawPacketData,
72
- EventParser
73
- });
74
- ```
75
-
76
- ## Why This Architecture is Superior
77
-
78
- ### Compared to Pause/Resume Approach
79
-
80
- **Pause/Resume Risks:**
81
- - Stops TCP socket reading → potential buffer overflow
82
- - MySQL server timeouts if client doesn't ACK events
83
- - Re-introduces the exact connection stability issues we solved
84
- - mysql2 has known limitations with pause/resume on pool connections
85
-
86
- **Raw Packet Buffering Benefits:**
87
- - **Keeps binlog connection fully active** → no timeout risks
88
- - **Preserves mysql2's internal state machine** → no protocol errors
89
- - **Maintains maximum throughput** → data ingested as fast as possible
90
- - **Clean separation of concerns** → I/O vs. parsing decoupled
91
-
92
- ### Compared to Synchronous Blocking (Zongji's Approach)
93
-
94
- **Zongji's Limitation:**
95
- - Blocks entire event loop during INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries
96
- - Large schema fetches can stall binlog processing
97
- - Single-threaded bottleneck under high load
98
-
99
- **Our Approach:**
100
- - **Non-blocking schema fetching** → worker thread isolation
101
- - **Buffering capacity** → handles bursts during schema resolution
102
- - **Scalable architecture** → independent processing threads
103
-
104
- ## Performance Characteristics
105
-
106
- ### Memory Usage
107
- - Bounded buffering with configurable limits (`maxBufferedPackets`)
108
- - Raw binary data is more memory-efficient than parsed objects
109
- - Automatic cleanup after schema resolution
110
-
111
- ### Latency Impact
112
- - **Hot path optimized:** Cached schemas → zero additional latency
113
- - **Cold path managed:** New tables → buffering until schema available
114
- - **Recovery time:** Typically <100ms for schema fetch + parsing
115
-
116
- ### Throughput
117
- - **No binlog stream interruption** → maintains full MySQL replication speed
118
- - **Parallel processing** → schema fetching concurrent with event ingestion
119
- - **Zero event loop blocking** → other Node.js operations unaffected
120
