Replication from MariaDB to MySQL fails if emojis are present #158

Hello,

I have two databases.
Source: MariaDB 10.3
Destination: MySQL 8.0.34
Both source and destination databases and all tables and all fields inside the tables have utf8mb4_unicode_ci collations.

However, on syncing a table with users that has an emoji in the user name the table cannot be synced. For some unknown reason a utf8mb3 encoding seems to be used

Here is the verbose log:

I checked that there is a user named 'Winter 🚃" - apparently the emoji is creating the problem
What I don't understand is why there is utf8mb3 used, instead of utf8mb4.

My guess is that the line

"LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'dummy' INTO TABLE c1account.jos_usersrepdb5110 CHARACTER SET UTF8 FIELDS [...]"
should say "UTF8MB4' instead of 'UTF8'!?

Could that be the reason? If yes, how can I configure this line?

Any help is appreciated.

I checked the source code and I think it is a bug.
In the code the character set for the MySQL outfile/infile seems to be hard coded to UTF-8 and there does not seem to be any way to change the encoding by parameters. The problem is that 'UTF-8' means just 'UTF8mb3', not UTF8mb4.

See

private void copyData (String loadDataSql, StringBuilder row, MariaDbStatement mariadbStatement, JdbcPreparedStatement mysqlStatement) throws IOException, SQLException {
  if (mysqlStatement != null) {
     mysqlStatement.setLocalInfileInputStream(new ReaderInputStream(CharSource.wrap(row).openStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
     mysqlStatement.executeUpdate(loadDataSql);
  } else {
     assert mariadbStatement != null;
     mariadbStatement.setLocalInfileInputStream(new ReaderInputStream(CharSource.wrap(row).openStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
     mariadbStatement.executeUpdate(loadDataSql);
  }

}

There are also some other locations (dummy table) where a hardcoded character set is used.
