Ask HN: did anyone try MySQL's new online DDL (alter table)?

1 pointdavidbrai0 comments

I'm wondering if anyone had any experience with MySQL's online DDL (alter tables) since it was released (version 5.6)?

Since this is a rather sensitive operation on the DB, I'm interested if there are any pitfalls or other things to be aware of. I didn't find many recent reviews of this feature.
