When I did show processlist in mysql I got list of process. One of the process with binlog dump running from quit long time.
What is binlog dump? do I need to kill this. what happen if i kill this process?
Generally we are doing show process when we are getting error too many connections, but in my case Mysql is not responding intermittently. So i thought of looking into the processes if there is any long running query, so that I can kill it.
I got binlog dump under Command column in process list.
Command shows the type of command the thread is currently executing.
binlog dump is a thread on a master server for sending binary log contents to a slave server.
If need more information on different values of Command you can refer to:
For show process
