TokuDB Overview

The TokuDB storage engine has been removed from MariaDB.

TokuDB has been deprecated by its upstream maintainer. It is disabled from MariaDB 10.5 and has been removed in MariaDB 10.6 - MDEV-19780. We recommend MyRocks as a long-term migration path.

The TokuDB storage engine is for use in high-performance and write-intensive environments, offering increased compression and better performance.

It is available in an open-source version, included with 64-bit MariaDB (but not enabled by default), and an Enterprise edition available from Tokutek.

Note that the default value of tokudb_pk_insert_mode will prevent row-based replication from working. To use RBR, change the value of this variable.

The version of TokuDB in your local MariaDB is available by querying the tokudb_version status variable:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'tokudb_version';

In the MariaDB binary tarballs, only the ones labeled "glibc_214" have TokuDB.
