Changes in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2.27 (5.5.54-ndb-7.2.27) (2017-01-17)

   MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2.27 is a new release of NDB Cluster,
   incorporating new features in the NDB storage engine, and
   fixing recently discovered bugs in previous MySQL NDB Cluster
   7.2 development releases.

   Obtaining MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2.  MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2
   source code and binaries can be obtained from
   http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.

   This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made
   in previous NDB Cluster releases, as well as all bugfixes and
   feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.5
   through MySQL 5.5.54 (see Changes in MySQL 5.5.54
   (2016-12-12, General availability)
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-54.html)).

   Bugs Fixed

     * A number of potential buffer overflow issues were found
       and fixed in the NDB codebase. (Bug #25260091)
       References: See also: Bug #23152979.

     * ndb_restore did not restore tables having more than 341
       columns correctly. This was due to the fact that the
       buffer used to hold table metadata read from .ctl files
       was of insufficient size, so that only part of the table
       descriptor could be read from it in such cases. This
       issue is fixed by increasing the size of the buffer used
       by ndb_restore for file reads. (Bug #25182956)
