Default `gtid.new.channel.position` to earliest

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      I believe that the GTID new channel position setting should default to earliest not latest in order to prevent data loss by default.

      If you have GTID of:

      server-1:1-999
      

      Then you fail over to server-2, and server-2 receives 100 writes:

      server-1:1-99,server-2:1-100
      

      Then DBZ connects... its offset is still:

      server-1:1-999
      

      So, it has to decide does it start GTID for server-2 at 1 or 1-100. It makes more sense to start with the earliest position in the binlog--default to data duplication not data loss.
