information needed for Mariadb Enterprise edition

[Kevin Monroe]

I recently took a look at the mariadb charm on ppc64le and ran across some
interesting bits.  I'm looping in the charm maintainer (dbart) for extra
insights.

First, MariaDB has both enterprise and community versions available for
this charm to deploy.  Rajith, as you saw in the readme, you should be able
to obtain credentials from the MariaDB Portal (
https://mariadb.com/user/login?destination=my_portal/download).  However,
there was a recent change in the package signing key [0] that may affect
installation.  Daniel, are these "enterprise.yaml" creation instructions in
the charm readme still valid?:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~charmers/charms/trusty/mariadb/trunk/view/head:/README.md#L46

Second, line 382 of Rajith's log (http://paste.ubuntu.com/16514402/) shows
that if the configured repo is ignored, the charm will continue to install
mariadb-[server|client] from the trusty archives.  This will put
mariadb-5.x on the unit, which may or may not be intended.  Perhaps the
charm should warn the user if mariadb is installed from a location other
than the configured repo?

Third, I was able to reproduce the behavior seen in Rajith's log where
mariadb did not start successfully.  I think the default dataset-size
configuration is too aggressive in some scenarios.  I've opened a bug [1]
to track this.

Rajith, I know you specifically asked about the enterprise edition, and
hopefully Daniel will be able to assist there.  That said, I have verified
the community edition works when deploying from the charm store to a
ppc64le container.  Let me know if I can be of any help to get that running
in your environment.

Thanks,
