Differences between Percona MyRocks and Facebook MyRocks¶

The original MyRocks was developed by Facebook and works with their implementation of MySQL. Percona MyRocks is a branch of MyRocks for Percona Server for MySQL and includes the following differences from the original implementation:

• The behavior of the START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT statement depends on the transaction isolation level.

  Storage Engine	Transaction isolation level
  	READ COMMITTED	REPEATABLE READ
  InnoDB	Success	Success
  Facebook MyRocks	Fail	Success (MyRocks engine only; read-only, as all MyRocks engine snapshots)
  Percona MyRocks	Fail with any DML which would violate the read-only snapshot constraint	Success (read-only snapshots independent of the engines in use)

• Percona MyRocks includes the lz4 and zstd statically linked libraries.
