MySQL Error 1378: Purgeable Log In Use
Description
Error 1378 indicates that MySQL attempted to purge a log file, but the operation failed because the target log is currently in active use by the server. This typically occurs when a binary log or relay log file is still required for replication, recovery, or ongoing operations, preventing its safe removal.
Error Message

Server Operations in Progress

Aggressive Log Retention
Configuration settings like `expire_logs_days` or `relay_log_purge` are set too low, causing the system to attempt purging logs that are still needed.
Premature Manual Log Purge
A `PURGE BINARY LOGS` or `PURGE RELAY LOGS` command was manually executed on a log file that is currently in use by the server or a replication slave.
