Where can I read more about the custom things FB added to MySQL 5.6? Their work on replication and the DDL work seems fascinating. Are there scholarly papers, white-papers, blogs?
Are they storing the friend graph in MySQL?

- midom 5y agothere's also this team page, although it has been somewhat lower on volume lately - https://www.facebook.com/MySQLatFacebook/ https://www.facebook.com/MySQLatFacebook/
