The MySQL plugin API is a generic extension point for the MySQL (>=5.1) server. It allows users to add new features like storage engines and information schema tables, and to extend existing features such as FULLTEXT search.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to write your own plugins from one of the designers of the plugin API. Basic C/C++ programming skills are recommended but not required.

Advanced uses of MySQL Proxy require a deeper understanding of queries running through Proxy than
tokenization can offer. Using a parser and supplementary infrastructure makes accurate query rewriting
possible to do sharding, better error messages or accomodating legacy applications.
We will look at how to implement these features and demonstrates how it can be used in other
applications, too.

The combination of MySQL and Hadoop opens up new doors for innovation that weren't possible before. Hadoop allows for Massive Parallel Processing but falls short of offering the speed, features and advantages of a relational database such as MySQL. For data intensive startups with massive data processing requirements, a combination of Hadoop and MySQL may be the best solution.
