Note

Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.

Functionality added or changed:

  • Cluster Replication: A new configuration parameter TimeBetweenEpochsTimeout allows a timeout to be set for time between epochs. For more information, see Section 17.3.2.6, “Defining MySQL Cluster Data Nodes”. (Bug#31276)

  • Additional checks were implemented to catch unsupported online ALTER TABLE operations. Currently it is not possible to reorder columns or to change the storage engine used for a table via online ALTER TABLE.

    Some redundant checks made during online creation of indexes were removed.

Bugs fixed:

  • It was possible in some cases for a node group to be “lost” due to missed local checkpoints following a system restart. (Bug#31525)

  • NDB tables having names containing nonalphanumeric characters (such as “$”) were not discovered correctly. (Bug#31470)

  • A node failure during a local checkpoint could lead to a subsequent failure of the cluster during a system restart. (Bug#31257)

  • A cluster restart could sometimes fail due to an issue with table IDs. (Bug#30975)

  • Transaction timeouts were not handled well in some circumstances, leading to excessive number of transactions being aborted unnecessarily. (Bug#30379)

  • In some cases, the cluster managment server logged entries multiple times following a restart of mgmd. (Bug#29565)

  • ndb_mgm --help did not display any information about the -a option. (Bug#29509)

  • The cluster log was formatted inconsistently and contained extraneous newline characters. (Bug#25064)

  • Online ALTER operations involving a column whose data type has an implicit default value left behind temporary .frm files, causing subsequent DROP DATABASE statements to fail. (Bug#31097)

  • Transactions were committed prematurely when LOCK TABLE and SET autocommit = 0 were used together. (Bug#30996)

  • The mysqld_safe script contained a syntax error. (Bug#30624)
