Welcome to MySQL QA Episode #5! In this episode we’ll be setting up and running pquery for the first time… and I’ll also trigger some actual bugs (fun guaranteed)! I’ll also introduce you to mtr_to_sql.sh and pquery-run.sh.
pquery-run.sh (the main wrapper around pquery) is capable of generating 80-120 MySQL Server crashes – per hour! See how it all works in this episode…

All, please note we have moved percona-qa to GitHub:
https://github.com/Percona-QA/percona-qa
To clone it, use:
$ sudo yum install git
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/Percona-QA/percona-qa.git
reducer.sh was also put directly into this repository (and it is maintained there), so *no* need anymore to separately fetch lp:randgen.
