Add support for MySQL Binlog (CDC) in MySQL 8.4+

Maximus has upgraded their systems to MySQL 8.4.x, the latest LTS version of MySQL. They have a critical use case requirement for binlog (CDC), but StreamSets currently cannot support binlog in 8.4+ due to several SQL statements having been removed.

Please evaluate the feasability of adding support for binlog (CDC) in MySQL 8.4+

    Hi Paul ,

    the team is working in this one and it will be included in the 7.0 SDC Release

    Should not work with recent SDC releases, but will do with 7.0

    Hi Miguel,

    I need to check in on this, as it is not clear to me where it landed. Do we know whether MySQL 8.4+ binlog works with a recent SDC release? Is there a specific minor-release version of MySQL required?

    Hi Paul,

    after checking this with Eng, it looks like MySQL broke the semver policy in 8.4 doing non-backwards compatible changes. the problem was due to some statements removed https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.4/en/news-8-4-0.html#mysqld-8-4-0-deprecation-removal

    Now it seems like this was fixed later, so the latest version should be able to support 8.4+ we are already updated, so it's needed to add more testing.

    We will evaluate the effort and resources to see when can we add this to the table.
