Scale a TiDB Cluster Using TiUP |
Learn how to scale the TiDB cluster using TiUP. |
|
The capacity of a TiDB cluster can be increased or decreased without interrupting the online services.
This document describes how to scale the TiDB, TiKV, PD, TiCDC, or TiFlash cluster using TiUP. If you have not installed TiUP, refer to the steps in Step 2. Deploy TiUP on the control machine.
To view the current cluster name list, run tiup cluster list
.
For example, if the original topology of the cluster is as follows:
Host IP | Service |
---|---|
10.0.1.3 | TiDB + TiFlash |
10.0.1.4 | TiDB + PD |
10.0.1.5 | TiKV + Monitor |
10.0.1.1 | TiKV |
10.0.1.2 | TiKV |
This section exemplifies how to add a TiDB node to the 10.0.1.5
host.
Note:
You can take similar steps to add a PD node. Before you add a TiKV node, it is recommended that you adjust the PD scheduling parameters in advance according to the cluster load.
-
Configure the scale-out topology:
Note:
- The port and directory information is not required by default.
- If multiple instances are deployed on a single machine, you need to allocate different ports and directories for them. If the ports or directories have conflicts, you will receive a notification during deployment or scaling.
- Since TiUP v1.0.0, the scale-out configuration inherits the global configuration of the original cluster.
Add the scale-out topology configuration in the
scale-out.yml
file:{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
vi scale-out.yml
{{< copyable "" >}}
tidb_servers: - host: 10.0.1.5 ssh_port: 22 port: 4000 status_port: 10080 deploy_dir: /tidb-deploy/tidb-4000 log_dir: /tidb-deploy/tidb-4000/log
Here is a TiKV configuration file template:
{{< copyable "" >}}
tikv_servers: - host: 10.0.1.5 ssh_port: 22 port: 20160 status_port: 20180 deploy_dir: /tidb-deploy/tikv-20160 data_dir: /tidb-data/tikv-20160 log_dir: /tidb-deploy/tikv-20160/log
Here is a PD configuration file template:
{{< copyable "" >}}
pd_servers: - host: 10.0.1.5 ssh_port: 22 name: pd-1 client_port: 2379 peer_port: 2380 deploy_dir: /tidb-deploy/pd-2379 data_dir: /tidb-data/pd-2379 log_dir: /tidb-deploy/pd-2379/log
To view the configuration of the current cluster, run
tiup cluster edit-config <cluster-name>
. Because the parameter configuration ofglobal
andserver_configs
is inherited byscale-out.yml
and thus also takes effect inscale-out.yml
. -
Run the scale-out command:
Before you run the
scale-out
command, use thecheck
andcheck --apply
commands to detect and automatically repair potential risks in the cluster:-
Check for potential risks:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster check <cluster-name> scale-out.yml --cluster --user root [-p] [-i /home/root/.ssh/gcp_rsa]
-
Enable automatic repair:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster check <cluster-name> scale-out.yml --cluster --apply --user root [-p] [-i /home/root/.ssh/gcp_rsa]
-
Run the
scale-out
command:{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster scale-out <cluster-name> scale-out.yml [-p] [-i /home/root/.ssh/gcp_rsa]
In the preceding commands:
scale-out.yml
is the scale-out configuration file.--user root
indicates logging in to the target machine as theroot
user to complete the cluster scale out. Theroot
user is expected to havessh
andsudo
privileges to the target machine. Alternatively, you can use other users withssh
andsudo
privileges to complete the deployment.[-i]
and[-p]
are optional. If you have configured login to the target machine without password, these parameters are not required. If not, choose one of the two parameters.[-i]
is the private key of the root user (or other users specified by--user
) that has access to the target machine.[-p]
is used to input the user password interactively.
If you see
Scaled cluster <cluster-name> out successfully
, the scale-out operation succeeds. -
-
Check the cluster status:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster display <cluster-name>
Access the monitoring platform at http://10.0.1.5:3000 using your browser to monitor the status of the cluster and the new node.
After the scale-out, the cluster topology is as follows:
Host IP | Service |
---|---|
10.0.1.3 | TiDB + TiFlash |
10.0.1.4 | TiDB + PD |
10.0.1.5 | TiDB + TiKV + Monitor |
10.0.1.1 | TiKV |
10.0.1.2 | TiKV |
This section exemplifies how to add a TiFlash node to the 10.0.1.4
host.
Note:
When adding a TiFlash node to an existing TiDB cluster, note the following:
- Confirm that the current TiDB version supports using TiFlash. Otherwise, upgrade your TiDB cluster to v5.0 or later versions.
- Run the
tiup ctl:v<CLUSTER_VERSION> pd -u http://<pd_ip>:<pd_port> config set enable-placement-rules true
command to enable the Placement Rules feature. Or run the corresponding command in pd-ctl.
-
Add the node information to the
scale-out.yml
file:Create the
scale-out.yml
file to add the TiFlash node information.{{< copyable "" >}}
tiflash_servers: - host: 10.0.1.4
Currently, you can only add IP addresses but not domain names.
-
Run the scale-out command:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster scale-out <cluster-name> scale-out.yml
Note:
The preceding command is based on the assumption that the mutual trust has been configured for the user to run the command and the new machine. If the mutual trust cannot be configured, use the
-p
option to enter the password of the new machine, or use the-i
option to specify the private key file. -
View the cluster status:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster display <cluster-name>
Access the monitoring platform at http://10.0.1.5:3000 using your browser, and view the status of the cluster and the new node.
After the scale-out, the cluster topology is as follows:
Host IP | Service |
---|---|
10.0.1.3 | TiDB + TiFlash |
10.0.1.4 | TiDB + PD + TiFlash |
10.0.1.5 | TiDB+ TiKV + Monitor |
10.0.1.1 | TiKV |
10.0.1.2 | TiKV |
This section exemplifies how to add two TiCDC nodes to the 10.0.1.3
and 10.0.1.4
hosts.
-
Add the node information to the
scale-out.yml
file:Create the

-
Run the scale-out command:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster scale-out <cluster-name> scale-out.yml
Note:
The preceding command is based on the assumption that the mutual trust has been configured for the user to run the command and the new machine. If the mutual trust cannot be configured, use the
-p
option to enter the password of the new machine, or use the-i
option to specify the private key file. -
View the cluster status:

tiup cluster display <cluster-name>
Access the monitoring platform at http://10.0.1.5:3000 using your browser, and view the status of the cluster and the new nodes.
After the scale-out, the cluster topology is as follows:
Host IP | Service |
---|---|
10.0.1.3 | TiDB + TiFlash + TiCDC |
10.0.1.4 | TiDB + PD + TiFlash + TiCDC |
10.0.1.5 | TiDB+ TiKV + Monitor |
10.0.1.1 | TiKV |
10.0.1.2 | TiKV |
This section exemplifies how to remove a TiKV node from the 10.0.1.5
host.
Note:
- You can take similar steps to remove a TiDB or PD node.
- Because the TiKV, TiFlash, and TiDB Binlog components are taken offline asynchronously and the stopping process takes a long time, TiUP takes them offline in different methods. For details, see Particular handling of components' offline process.
- The PD Client in TiKV caches the list of PD nodes. The current version of TiKV has a mechanism to automatically and regularly update PD nodes, which can help mitigate the issue of an expired list of PD nodes cached by TiKV. However, after scaling out PD, you should try to avoid directly removing all PD nodes at once that exist before the scaling. If necessary, before making all the previously existing PD nodes offline, make sure to switch the PD leader to a newly added PD node.

-
Run the scale-in command:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster scale-in <cluster-name> --node 10.0.1.5:20160
The
--node
parameter is the ID of the node to be taken offline.If you see
Scaled cluster <cluster-name> in successfully
, the scale-in operation succeeds. -
Check the cluster status:
The scale-in process takes some time. You can run the following command to check the scale-in status:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster display <cluster-name>
If the node to be scaled in becomes
Tombstone
, the scale-in operation succeeds.Access the monitoring platform at http://10.0.1.5:3000 using your browser, and view the status of the cluster.
The current topology is as follows:
Host IP | Service |
---|---|
10.0.1.3 | TiDB + TiFlash + TiCDC |
10.0.1.4 | TiDB + PD + TiFlash + TiCDC |
10.0.1.5 | TiDB + Monitor (TiKV is deleted) |
10.0.1.1 | TiKV |
10.0.1.2 | TiKV |
This section exemplifies how to remove a TiFlash node from the 10.0.1.4
host.
-
Query whether any table has TiFlash replicas more than the number of TiFlash nodes after scale-in.
tobe_left_nodes
means the number of TiFlash nodes after scale-in. If the query result is empty, you can start scaling in TiFlash. If the query result is not empty, you need to modify the number of TiFlash replicas of the related table(s).SELECT * FROM information_schema.tiflash_replica WHERE REPLICA_COUNT > 'tobe_left_nodes';
-
Execute the following statement for all tables with TiFlash replicas more than the number of TiFlash nodes after scale-in.
new_replica_num
must be less than or equal totobe_left_nodes
:ALTER TABLE <db-name>.<table-name> SET tiflash replica 'new_replica_num';
-
Perform step 1 again and make sure that there is no table with TiFlash replicas more than the number of TiFlash nodes after scale-in.
Perform the scale-in operation with one of the following solutions.
-
Confirm the name of the node to be taken down:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster display <cluster-name>
-
Remove the TiFlash node (assume that the node name is
10.0.1.4:9000
from Step 1):{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster scale-in <cluster-name> --node 10.0.1.4:9000
In special cases (such as when a node needs to be forcibly taken down), or if the TiUP scale-in operation fails, you can manually remove a TiFlash node with the following steps.
-
Use the store command of pd-ctl to view the store ID corresponding to this TiFlash node.
-
Enter the store command in pd-ctl (the binary file is under
resources/bin
in the tidb-ansible directory). -
If you use TiUP deployment, replace
pd-ctl
withtiup ctl:v<CLUSTER_VERSION> pd
:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup ctl:v<CLUSTER_VERSION> pd -u http://<pd_ip>:<pd_port> store
Note:
If multiple PD instances exist in the cluster, you only need to specify the IP address:port of an active PD instance in the above command.
-
-
Remove the TiFlash node in pd-ctl:
-
Enter
store delete <store_id>
in pd-ctl (<store_id>
is the store ID of the TiFlash node found in the previous step. -
If you use TiUP deployment, replace
pd-ctl
withtiup ctl:v<CLUSTER_VERSION> pd
:{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup ctl:v<CLUSTER_VERSION> pd -u http://<pd_ip>:<pd_port> store delete <store_id>
Note:
If multiple PD instances exist in the cluster, you only need to specify the IP address:port of an active PD instance in the above command.
-
-
Wait for the store of the TiFlash node to disappear or for the
state_name
to becomeTombstone
before you stop the TiFlash process. -
Manually delete TiFlash data files (the location can be found in the
data_dir
directory under the TiFlash configuration of the cluster topology file). -
Delete information about the TiFlash node that goes down from the cluster topology using the following command:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster scale-in <cluster-name> --node <pd_ip>:<pd_port> --force
Note:
Before all TiFlash nodes in the cluster stop running, if not all tables replicated to TiFlash are canceled, you need to manually clean up the replication rules in PD, or the TiFlash node cannot be taken down successfully.
The steps to manually clean up the replication rules in PD are below:
-
View all data replication rules related to TiFlash in the current PD instance:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
curl http://<pd_ip>:<pd_port>/pd/api/v1/config/rules/group/tiflash
[ { "group_id": "tiflash", "id": "table-45-r", "override": true, "start_key": "7480000000000000FF2D5F720000000000FA", "end_key": "7480000000000000FF2E00000000000000F8", "role": "learner", "count": 1, "label_constraints": [ { "key": "engine", "op": "in", "values": [ "tiflash" ] } ] } ]
-
Remove all data replication rules related to TiFlash. Take the rule whose
id
istable-45-r
as an example. Delete it by the following command:{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
curl -v -X DELETE http://<pd_ip>:<pd_port>/pd/api/v1/config/rule/tiflash/table-45-r
-
View the cluster status:
{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}
tiup cluster display <cluster-name>
Access the monitoring platform at http://10.0.1.5:3000 using your browser, and view the status of the cluster and the new nodes.
After the scale-out, the cluster topology is as follows:
Host IP | Service |
---|---|
10.0.1.3 | TiDB + TiFlash + TiCDC |
10.0.1.4 | TiDB + PD + TiCDC (TiFlash is deleted) |
10.0.1.5 | TiDB+ Monitor |
10.0.1.1 | TiKV |
10.0.1.2 | TiKV |
This section exemplifies how to remove the TiCDC node from the 10.0.1.4
host.
-
