Obtaining NDB Cluster 7.6. NDB Cluster 7.6 source code and binaries can be obtained from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/. For an overview of changes made in NDB Cluster 7.6, see What is New in NDB Cluster 7.6 (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-cluster-what-is-new-7-6.html). This release also incorporates all bug fixes and changes made in previous NDB Cluster releases, as well as all bug fixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.7 through MySQL 5.7.25 (see Changes in MySQL 5.7.25 (2019-01-21, General Availability) (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-25.html)). Bugs Fixed * Important Change: When restoring to a cluster using data node IDs different from those in the original cluster, ndb_restore tried to open files corresponding to node ID 0. To keep this from happening, the --nodeid and --backupid options---neither of which has a default value---are both now explicitly required when invoking ndb_restore. (Bug #28813708) * Packaging; MySQL NDB ClusterJ: libndbclient was missing from builds on some platforms. (Bug #28997603) * NDB Replication: A DROP DATABASE operation involving certain very large tables could lead to an unplanned shutdown of the cluster. (Bug #28855062) * NDB Replication: When writes on the master---done in such a way that multiple changes affecting BLOB column values belonging to the same primary key were part of the same epoch---were replicated to the slave, Error 1022 occurred due to constraint violations in the NDB$BLOB_id_part table. (Bug #28746560) * NDB Cluster APIs: When the NDB kernel's SUMA block sends a TE_ALTER event, it does not keep track of when all fragments of the event are sent. When NDB receives the event, it buffers the fragments, and processes the event when all fragments have arrived. An issue could possibly arise for very large table definitions, when the time between transmission and reception could span multiple epochs; during this time, SUMA could send a SUB_GCP_COMPLETE_REP signal to indicate that it has sent all data for an epoch, even though in this case that is not entirely true since there may be fragments of a TE_ALTER event still waiting on the data node to be sent. Reception of the SUB_GCP_COMPLETE_REP leads to closing the buffers for that epoch. Thus, when TE_ALTER finally arrives, NDB assumes that it is a duplicate from an earlier epoch, and silently discards it. We fix the problem by making sure that the SUMA kernel block never sends a SUB_GCP_COMPLETE_REP for any epoch in which there are unsent fragments for a SUB_TABLE_DATA signal. This issue could have an impact on NDB API applications making use of TE_ALTER events. (SQL nodes do not make any use of TE_ALTER events and so they and applications using them were not affected.) (Bug #28836474) * Where a data node was restarted after a configuration change whose result was a decrease in the sum of MaxNoOfTables, MaxNoOfOrderedIndexes, and MaxNoOfUniqueHashIndexes, it sometimes failed with a misleading error message which suggested both a temporary error and a bug, neither of which was the case. The failure itself is expected, being due to the fact that there is at least one table object with an ID greater than the (new) sum of the parameters just mentioned, and that this table cannot be restored since the maximum value for the ID allowed is limited by that sum. The error message has been changed to reflect this, and now indicates that this is a permanent error due to a problem configuration. (Bug #28884880) * When only the management server but no data nodes were started, RESTART ALL timed out and eventually failed. This was because, as part of a restart, ndb_mgmd starts a timer, sends a STOP_REQ signal to all the data nodes, and waits for all of them to reach node state SL_CMVMI. The issue arose becaue no STOP_REQ signals were ever sent, and thus no data nodes reached SL_CMVMI. This meant that the timer always expired, causing the restart to fail. (Bug #28728485, Bug #28698831) References: See also: Bug #11757421. * Running ANALYZE TABLE on an NDB table with an index having longer than the supported maximum length caused data nodes to fail. (Bug #28714864) * It was possible in certain cases for nodes to hang during an initial restart. (Bug #28698831) References: See also: Bug #27622643. * The output of ndb_config --configinfo --xml --query-all now shows that configuration changes for the ThreadConfig and MaxNoOfExecutionThreads data node parameters require system initial restarts (restart="system" initial="true"). (Bug #28494286) * API nodes should observe that a node is moving through SL_STOPPING phases (graceful stop) and stop using the node for new transactions, which minimizes potential disruption in the later phases of the node shutdown process. API nodes were only informed of node state changes via periodic heartbeat signals, and so might not be able to avoid interacting with the node shutting down. This generated unnecessary failures when the heartbeat interval was long. Now when a data node is being gracefully stopped, all API nodes are notified directly, allowing them to experience minimal disruption. (Bug #28380808) * Executing SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES caused SQL nodes to restart in some cases. (Bug #27613173) * When scanning a row using a TUP scan or ACC scan, or when performing a read using the primary key, it is possible to start a read of the row and hit a real-time break during which it is necessary to wait for the page to become available in memory. When the page request returns later, an attempt to read the row fails due to an invalid checksum; this is because, when the row is deleted, its checksum is invalidated. This problem is solved by introducing a new tuple header DELETE_WAIT flag, which is checked before starting any row scan or PK read operations on the row where disk data pages are not yet available, and cleared when the row is finally committed. (Bug #27584165) References: See also: Bug #28868412. * When running a cluster with 4 or more data nodes under very high loads, data nodes could sometimes fail with Error 899 Rowid already allocated. (Bug #25960230) * mysqld shut down unexpectedly when a purge of the binary log was requested before the server had completely started, and it was thus not yet ready to delete rows from the ndb_binlog_index table. Now when this occurs, requests for any needed purges of the ndb_binlog_index table are saved in a queue and held for execution when the server has completely started. (Bug #25817834) * When starting, a data node copies metadata, while a local checkpoint updates metadata. To avoid any conflict, any ongoing LCP activity is paused while metadata is being copied. An issue arose when a local checkpoint was paused on a given node, and another node that was also restarting checked for a complete LCP on this node; the check actually caused the LCP to be completed before copying of metadata was complete and so ended the pause prematurely. Now in such cases, the LCP completion check waits to complete a paused LCP until copying of metadata is finished and the pause ends as expected, within the LCP in which it began. (Bug #24827685) * Asynchronous disconnection of mysqld from the cluster caused any subsequent attempt to start an NDB API transaction to fail. If this occurred during a bulk delete operation, the SQL layer called HA::end_bulk_delete(), whose implementation by ha_ndbcluster assumed that a transaction had been started, and could fail if this was not the case. This problem is fixed by checking that the transaction pointer used by this method is set before referencing it. (Bug #20116393) * NdbScanFilter did not always handle NULL according to the SQL standard, which could result in sending non-qualifying rows to be filtered (otherwise not necessary) by the MySQL server. (Bug #92407, Bug #28643463) * NDB attempted to use condition pushdown on greater-than (>) and less-than (<) comparisons with ENUM column values but this could cause rows to be omitted in the result. Now such comparisons are no longer pushed down. Comparisons for equality (=) and inequality (<> / !=) with ENUM values are not affected by this change, and conditions including these comparisons can still be pushed down. (Bug #92321, Bug #28610217)
