No, it's not a problem. Because on recovery MySQL only reads the *last* binlog, it needs to ensure somehow that last binlog has all the information that recovery needs. Currently a simple solution is used - binlog rotation waits for all prepared transaction to commit. That is, you can be sure that last binlog has only XIDs for committed transactions. > I thought someone explained to me the constraints on binlog rotation > that might be related to this, but I don't remember the details.
