Changes in MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0.18 (2019-10-14, Release Candidate)

   MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0.18 is a new development release of NDB
   8.0, based on MySQL Server 8.0 and including features in
   version 8.0 of the NDB storage engine, as well as fixing
   recently discovered bugs in previous NDB Cluster releases.

   Obtaining NDB Cluster 8.0.  NDB Cluster 8.0 source code and
   binaries can be obtained from
   https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.

   For an overview of changes made in NDB Cluster 8.0, see What
   is New in NDB Cluster
   (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-cluster-what-is-new.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 8.0
   through MySQL 8.0.18 (see Changes in MySQL 8.0.18
   (2019-10-14, General Availability)
   (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-18.html)).

Functionality Added or Changed

     * Important Change: The 63-byte limit on NDB database and
       table names has been removed. These identifiers may now
       take up to 64 bytes, as when using other MySQL storage
       engines. For more information, see Previous NDB Cluster
       Issues Resolved in NDB Cluster 8.0
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-cluster-limitations-resolved.html).
       (Bug #27447958)

     * Important Change: Implemented the NDB_STORED_USER
       privilege, which enables sharing of users, roles, and
       privileges across all SQL nodes attached to a given NDB
       Cluster. This replaces the distributed grant tables
       mechanism from NDB 7.6 and earlier versions of NDB
       Cluster, which was removed in NDB 8.0.16 due to its
       incompatibility with changes made to the MySQL privilege
       system in MySQL 8.0.
       A user or role which has this privilege is propagated,
       along with its (other) privileges to a MySQL server (SQL
       node) as soon as it connects to the cluster. Changes made
       to the privileges of the user or role are synchronized
       immediately with all connected SQL nodes.
       NDB_STORED_USER can be granted to users and roles other
       than reserved accounts such as mysql.session@localhost or
       mysql.infoschema@localhost. A role can be shared, but
       assigning a shared role to a user does not cause this
       user to be shared; the NDB_STORED_USER privilege must be
       granted to the user explicitly in order for the user to
       be shared between NDB Cluster SQL nodes.
       The NDB_STORED_USER privilege is always global and must
       be granted using ON *.*. This privilege is recognized
       only if the MySQL server enables support for the
       NDBCLUSTER storage engine.
       For usage information, see the description of
       NDB_STORED_USER. Distributed MySQL Privileges with
       NDB_STORED_USER
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-cluster-privilege-distribution.html)
       , has additional information on how NDB_STORED_USER and
       privilege synchronization work.
       For information on how this change may affect upgrades to
       NDB 8.0 from previous versions, see Upgrading and
       Downgrading NDB Cluster
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-cluster-upgrade-downgrade.html).
       References: See also: Bug #29862601, Bug #29996547.

     * Important Change: The maximum row size for an NDB table
       is increased from 14000 to 30000 bytes.
       As before, only the first 264 bytes of a BLOB or TEXT
       column count towards this total.
       The maximum offset for a fixed-width column of an NDB
       table is 8188 bytes; this is also unchanged from previous
       NDB Cluster releases.
       For more information, see Limits Associated with Database
       Objects in NDB Cluster
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-cluster-limitations-database-objects.html).
       References: See also: Bug #29485977, Bug #29024275.

     * Important Change: A new binary format has been
       implemented for the NDB management server's cached
       configuration file, which is intended to support much
       larger numbers of nodes in a cluster than previously.
       Prior to this release, the configuration file supported a
       maximum of 16381 sections; this number is increased to
       4G.
       Upgrades to the new format should not require any manual
       intervention, as the management server (and other cluster
       nodes) can still read the old format. For downgrades from
       this release or a later one to NDB 8.0.17 or earlier, it
       is necessary to remove the binary configuration files
       prior to starting the old management server binary, or
       start it using the --initial option.
       For more information, see Upgrading and Downgrading NDB
       Cluster
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-cluster-upgrade-downgrade.html).

     * Important Change: The maximum number of data nodes
       supported in a single NDB cluster is raised in this
       release from 48 to 144. The range of supported data node
       IDs is increased in conjunction with this enhancement to
       1-144, inclusive.
       In previous releases, recommended node IDs for management
       nodes were 49 and 50. These values are still supported,
       but, if used, limit the maximum number of data nodes to
       142. For this reason, the recommended node ID values for
       management servers are now 145 and 146.
       The maximum total supported number of nodes of all types
       in a given cluster is 255. This total is unchanged from
       previous releases.
       For a cluster running more than 48 data nodes, it is not
       possible to downgrade directly to a previous release that
       supports only 48 data nodes. In such cases, it is
       necessary to reduce the number of data nodes to 48 or
       fewer, and to make sure that all data nodes use node IDs
       that are less than 49.

     * NDB Cluster APIs: An alternative constructor for
       NdbInterpretedCode is now provided, which accepts an
       NdbRecord in place of a Table object. (Bug #29852377)

     * NDB Cluster APIs: NdbScanFilter::cmp() and the following
       NdbInterpretedCode comparison methods can be now used to
       compare table column values:

          + branch_col_eq()

          + branch_col_ge()

          + branch_col_gt()

          + branch_col_le()

          + branch_col_lt()

          + branch_col_ne()
       When using any of these methods, the table column values
       to be compared must be of exactly the same type,
       including with respect to length, precision, and scale.
       In addition, in all cases, NULL is always considered by
       these methods to be less than any other value. You should
       also be aware that, when used to compare table column
       values, NdbScanFilter::cmp() does not support all
       possible values of BinaryCondition.
       For more information, see the descriptions of the
       individual API methods.

     * ndb_restore now reports the specific NDB error number and
       message when it is unable to load a table descriptor from
       a backup .ctl file. This can happen when attempting to
       restore a backup taken from a later version of the NDB
       Cluster software to a cluster running an earlier
       version---for example, when the backup includes a table
       using a character set which is unknown to the version of
       ndb_restore being used to restore it. (Bug #30184265)

     * NDB Cluster now uses tbl_name_fk_N as the naming pattern
       for internally generated foreign keys, which is similar
       to the tbl_name_ibfk_N pattern used by InnoDB. (Bug
       #30171959, Bug #96508)

     * The output from DUMP 1000 in the ndb_mgm client has been
       extended to provide information regarding total data page
       usage. (Bug #29841454)
       References: See also: Bug #29929996.

     * NDB Cluster's condition pushdown functionality has been
       extended as follows:

          + Expressions using any previously allowed comparisons
            are now supported.

          + Comparisons between columns in the same table and of
            the same type are now supported. The columns must be
            of exactly the same type.
       Example: Suppose there are two tables t1 and t2 created
       as shown here:
       CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b INT, c CHAR(10), d CHAR(5)) ENGINE=NDB;
       CREATE TABLE t2 LIKE t1;

       The following joins can now be pushed down to the data
       nodes:
       SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t2.a < t1.a+10;
       SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t2.a = t1.a+t1.b;
       SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t2.a = t1.a+t1.b;
       SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t2.d = SUBSTRING(t1.c,1,5);
       SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t2.c = CONCAT('foo',t1.d,'ba');

       Supported comparisons are <, <=, >, >=, =, and <>. (Bug
       #29685643)

     * The dependency of the ndb_delete_all utility on the NDBT
       library has been removed. This library, used in NDB
       development for testing, is not required for normal use,
       and its inclusion in the program caused issues when
       testing. The visible change for users is that
       ndb_delete_all no longer prints NDBT_ProgramExit - status
       following completion of its run. Applications that depend
       upon this behavior should be updated to reflect this
       change when upgrading to this release.

     * Added the ndb_schema_lock_wait_timeout system variable to
       control how long to wait for a schema lock to be released
       when trying to update the SQL node's local data
       dictionary for one or more tables currently in use from
       the NDB data dictionary's metadata. If this
       synchronization has not yet occurred by the end of this
       time, the SQL node returns a warning that schema
       distribution did not succeed; the next time that the
       table for which distribution failed is accessed, NDB
       tries once again to synchronize the table metadata.

     * NDB table objects submitted by the metadata change
       monitor thread are now automatically checked for any
       mismatches and synchronized by the NDB binary logging
       thread. The status variable Ndb_metadata_synced_count
       added in this release shows the number of objects
       synchronized automatically; it is possible to see which
       objects have been synchronized by checking the cluster
       log. In addition, the new status variable
       Ndb_metadata_blacklist_size indicates the number of
       objects for which synchronization has failed.
       References: See also: Bug #30000202.

     * It is now possible to build NDB for 64-bit ARM CPUs from
       the NDB Cluster sources. Currently, we do not provide any
       precompiled binaries for this platform.

     * Start times for the ndb_mgmd management node daemon have
       been significantly improved as follows:

          + More efficient handling of properties from
            configuration data can decrease startup times for
            the management server by a factor of 6 or more as
            compared with previous versions.

          + Host names not present in the management server's
            hosts file no longer create a bottleneck during
            startup, making ndb_mgmd start times up to 20 times
            shorter where these are used.

     * Columns of NDB tables can now be renamed online, using
       ALGORITHM=INPLACE.
       References: See also: Bug #28609968.

Bugs Fixed

     * Important Change: Because the current implementation for
       node failure handling cannot guarantee that even a single
       transaction of size MaxNoOfConcurrentOperations is
       completed in each round, this parameter is once again
       used to set a global limit on the total number of
       concurrent operations in all transactions within a single
       transaction coordinator instance. (Bug #96617, Bug
       #30216204)

     * Partitioning; NDB Disk Data: Creation of a partitioned
       disk data table was unsuccessful due to a missing
       metadata lock on the tablespace specified in the CREATE
       TABLE statement. (Bug #28876892)

     * NDB Disk Data: Tablespaces and data files are not tightly
       coupled in NDB, in the sense that they are represented by
       independent NdbDictionary objects. Thus, when metadata is
       restored using the ndb_restore tool, there was no
       guarantee that the tablespace and its associated datafile
       objects were restored at the same time. This led to the
       possibility that the tablespace mismatch was detected and
       automatically synchronized to the data dictionary before
       the datafile was restored to NDB. This issue also applied
       to log file groups and undo files.
       To fix this problem, the metadata change monitor now
       submits tablespaces and logfile groups only if their
       corresponding datafiles and undofiles actually exist in
       NDB. (Bug #30090080)

     * NDB Disk Data: When a data node failed following creation
       and population of an NDB table having columns on disk,
       but prior to execution of a local checkpoint, it was
       possible to lose row data from the tablespace. (Bug
       #29506869)

     * NDB Cluster APIs: The NDB API examples
       ndbapi_array_simple.cpp (see NDB API Simple Array Example
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndbapi/en/ndbapi-examples-array-simple.html))
       and ndbapi_array_using_adapter.cpp (see NDB API Simple
       Array Example Using Adapter
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndbapi/en/ndbapi-examples-array-adapter.html))
       made assignments directly to a std::vector array instead
       of using push_back() calls to do so. (Bug #28956047)

     * MySQL NDB ClusterJ: If ClusterJ was deployed as a
       separate module of a multi-module web application, when
       the application tried to create a new instance of a
       domain object, the exception
       java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: non-public interface
       is not defined by the given loader was thrown. It was
       because ClusterJ always tries to create a proxy class
       from which the domain object can be instantiated, and the
       proxy class is an implementation of the domain interface
       and the protected DomainTypeHandlerImpl::Finalizable
       interface. The class loaders of these two interfaces were
       different in the case, as they belonged to different
       modules running on the web server, so that when ClusterJ
       tried to create the proxy class using the domain object
       interface's class loader, the above-mentioned exception
       was thrown. This fix makes the Finalization interface
       public so that the class loader of the web application
       would be able to access it even if it belongs to a
       different module from that of the domain interface. (Bug
       #29895213)

     * MySQL NDB ClusterJ: ClusterJ sometimes failed with a
       segmentation fault after reconnecting to an NDB Cluster.
       This was due to ClusterJ reusing old database metadata
       objects from the old connection. With the fix, those
       objects are discarded before a reconnection to the
       cluster. (Bug #29891983)

     * Faulty calculation of microseconds caused the internal
       ndb_milli_sleep() function to sleep for too short a time.
       (Bug #30211922)

     * Once a data node is started, 95% of its configured
       DataMemory should be available for normal data, with 5%
       to spare for use in critical situations. During the node
       startup process, all of its configured DataMemory is
       usable for data, in order to minimize the risk that
       restoring the node data fails due to running out of data
       memory due to some dynamic memory structure using more
       pages for the same data than when the node was stopped.
       For example, a hash table grows differently during a
       restart than it did previously, since the order of
       inserts to the table differs from the historical order.
       The issue raised in this bug report occurred when a check
       that the data memory used plus the spare data memory did
       not exceed the value set for DataMemory failed at the
       point where the spare memory was reserved. This happened
       as the state of the data node transitioned from starting
       to started, when reserving spare pages. After calculating
       the number of reserved pages to be used for spare memory,
       and then the number of shared pages (that is, pages from
       shared global memory) to be used for this, the number of
       reserved pages already allocated was not taken into
       consideration. (Bug #30205182)
       References: See also: Bug #29616383.

     * It was not possible to use ndb_restore and a backup taken
       from an NDB 8.0 cluster to restore to a cluster running
       NDB 7.6. (Bug #30184658)
       References: See also: Bug #30221717.

     * When starting, a data node's local sysfile was not
       updated between the first completed local checkpoint and
       start phase 50. (Bug #30086352)

     * In the BACKUP block, the assumption was made that the
       first record in c_backups was the local checkpoint
       record, which is not always the case. Now NDB loops
       through the records in c_backups to find the (correct)
       LCP record instead. (Bug #30080194)

     * During node takeover for the master it was possible to
       end in the state LCP_STATUS_IDLE while the remaining data
       nodes were reporting their state as LCP_TAB_SAVED. This
       led to failure of the node when attempting to handle
       reception of a LCP_COMPLETE_REP signal since this is not
       expected when idle. Now in such cases local checkpoint
       handling is done in a manner that ensures that this node
       finishes in the proper state (LCP_TAB_SAVED). (Bug
       #30032863)

     * When a MySQL Server built with NDBCLUSTER support was run
       on Solaris/x86, it failed during schema distribution. The
       root cause of the problem was an issue with the Developer
       Studio compiler used to build binaries for this platform
       when optimization level -xO2 was used. This issue is
       fixed by using optimization level -xO1 instead for
       NDBCLUSTER built for Solaris/x86. (Bug #30031130)
       References: See also: Bug #28585914, Bug #30014295.

     * NDB used free() directly to deallocate
       ndb_mgm_configuration objects instead of calling
       ndb_mgm_destroy_configuration(), which correctly uses
       delete for deallocation. (Bug #29998980)

     * Default configuration sections did not have the
       configuration section types set when unpacked into
       memory, which caused a memory leak since this meant that
       the section destructor would not destroy the entries for
       these sections. (Bug #29965125)

     * No error was propagated when NDB failed to discover a
       table due to the table format being old and no longer
       supported, which could cause the NDB handler to retry the
       discovery operation endlessly and thereby hang. (Bug
       #29949096, Bug #29934763)

     * During upgrade of an NDB Cluster when half of the data
       nodes were running NDB 7.6 while the remainder were
       running NDB 8.0, attempting to shut down those nodes
       which were running NDB 7.6 led to failure of one node
       with the error CHECK FAILEDNODEPTR.P->DBLQHFAI. (Bug
       #29912988, Bug #30141203)

     * Altering a table in the middle of an ongoing transaction
       caused a table discovery operation which led to the
       transaction being committed prematurely; in addition, no
       error was returned when performing further updates as
       part of the same transaction.
       Now in such cases, the table discovery operation fails,
       when a transaction is in progress. (Bug #29911440)

     * When performing a local checkpoint (LCP), a table's
       schema version was intermittently read as 0, which caused
       NDB LCP handling to treat the table as though it were
       being dropped. This could effect rebuilding of indexes
       offline by ndb_restore while the table was in the
       TABLE_READ_ONLY state. Now the function reading the
       schema version (getCreateSchemaVersion()) no longer not
       changes it while the table is read-only. (Bug #29910397)

     * When an error occurs on an SQL node during schema
       distribution, information about this was written in the
       error log, but no indication was provided by the mysql
       client that the DDL statement in question was
       unsuccessful. Now in such cases, one or more generic
       warnings are displayed by the client to indicate that a
       given schema distribution operation has not been
       successful, with further information available in the
       error log of the originating SQL node. (Bug #29889869)

     * Errors and warnings pushed to the execution thread during
       metadata synchronization and metadata change detection
       were not properly logged and cleared. (Bug #29874313)

     * Altering a normal column to a stored generated column was
       performed online even though this is not supported. (Bug
       #29862463)

     * A pushed join with ORDER BY did not always return the
       rows of the result in the specified order. This could
       occur when the optimizer used an ordered index to provide
       the ordering and the index used a column from the table
       that served as the root of the pushed join. (Bug
       #29860378)

     * A number of issues in the Backup block for local
       checkpoints (LCPs) were found and fixed, including the
       following:

          + Bytes written to LCP part files were not always
            included in the LCP byte count.

          + The maximum record size for the buffer used for all
            LCP part files was not updated in all cases in which
            the table maximum record size had changed.

          + LCP surfacing could occur for LCP scans at times
            other than when receiving SCAN_FRAGCONF signals.

          + It was possible in some cases for the table
            currently being scanned to be altered in the middle
            of a scan request, which behavior is not supported.
       (Bug #29843373)

     * The requestInfo fields for the long and short forms of
       the LQHKEYREQ signal had different definitions; bits used
       for the key length in the short version were reused for
       flags in the long version, since the key length is
       implicit in the section length of the long version of the
       signal but it was possible for long LQHKEYREQ signals to
       contain a keylength in these same bits, which could be
       misinterpreted by the receiving local query handler,
       potentially leading to errors. Checks have now been
       implemented to make sure that this no longer happens.
       (Bug #29820838)

     * The list of dropped shares could hold only one dropped
       NDB_SHARE instance for each key, which prevented
       NDB_SHARE instances with same key from being dropped
       multiple times while handlers held references to those
       NDB_SHARE instances. This interfered with keeping track
       of the memory allocated and being able to release it if
       mysqld shut down without all handlers having released
       their references to the shares. To resolve this issue,
       the dropped share list has been changed to use a list
       type which allows more than one NDB_SHARE with the same
       key to exist at the same time. (Bug #29812659, Bug
       #29812613)

     * Removed an ndb_restore compile-time dependency on table
       names that was defined by the ndbcluster plugin. (Bug
       #29801100)

     * When creating a table in parallel on multiple SQL nodes,
       the result was a race condition between checking that the
       table existed and opening the table, which caused CREATE
       TABLE IF NOT EXISTS to fail with Error 1. This was the
       result of two issues, described with their fixes here:

         1. Opening a table whose NDB_SHARE did not exist
            returned the non-descriptive error message ERROR
            1296 (HY000): Got error 1 'Unknown error code' from
            NDBCLUSTER. This is fixed with a warning describing
            the problem in more detail, along with a more
            sensible error code.
            It was possible to open a table before schema
            synchronization was completed. This is fixed with a
            warning better describing the problem, along with an
            error indicating that cluster is not yet ready.
       In addition, this fixes a related issue in which creating
       indexes sometimes also failed with Error 1. (Bug
       #29793534, Bug #29871321)

     * Previously, for a pushed condition, every request sent to
       NDB for a given table caused the generation of a new
       instance of NdbInterpretedCode. When joining tables,
       generation of multiple requests for all tables following
       the first table in the query plan is very likely; if the
       pushed condition had no dependencies on prior tables in
       the query plan, identical instances of NdbInterpretedCode
       were generated for each request, at a significant cost in
       wasted CPU cycles. Now such pushed conditions are
       identified and the required NdbInterpretedCode object is
       generated only once, and reused for every request sent
       for this table without the need for generating new code
       each time.
       This change also makes it possible for Scan Filter too
       large errors to be detected and set during query
       optimization, which corrects cases where the query plan
       shown was inaccurate because the indicated push of a
       condition later had to be undone during the execution
       phase. (Bug #29704575)

     * Some instances of NdbScanFilter used in pushdown
       conditions were not generated properly due to FLOAT
       values being represented internally as having zero
       length. This led to more than the expected number of rows
       being returned from NDB, as shown by the value of
       Ndb_api_read_row_count. While the condition was
       re-evaluated by mysqld when generation of scan filter
       failed, the end result was still correct in such cases,
       but any performance gain expected from pushing the
       condition was lost. (Bug #29699347)

     * When creating a table, NDB did not always determine
       correctly whether it exceeded the maximum allowed record
       size. (Bug #29698277)

     * NDB index statistics are calculated based on the topology
       of one fragment of an ordered index; the fragment chosen
       in any particular index is decided at index creation
       time, both when the index is originally created, and when
       a node or system restart has recreated the index locally.
       This calculation is based in part on the number of
       fragments in the index, which can change when a table is
       reorganized. This means that, the next time that the node
       is restarted, this node may choose a different fragment,
       so that no fragments, one fragment, or two fragments are
       used to generate index statistics, resulting in errors
       from ANALYZE TABLE.
       This issue is solved by modifying the online table
       reorganization to recalculate the chosen fragment
       immediately, so that all nodes are aligned before and
       after any subsequent restart. (Bug #29534647)

     * As part of initializing schema distribution, each data
       node must maintain a subscriber bitmap providing
       information about the API nodes that are currently
       subscribed to this data node. Previously, the size of the
       bitmap was hard-coded to MAX_NODES (256), which meant
       that large amounts of memory might be allocated but never
       used when the cluster had significantly fewer nodes than
       this value. Now the size of the bitmap is determined by
       checking the maximum API node ID used in the cluster
       configuration file. (Bug #29270539)

     * The removal of the mysql_upgrade utility and its
       replacement by mysqld --initialize means that the upgrade
       procedure is executed much earlier than previously,
       possibly before NDB is fully ready to handle queries.
       This caused migration of the MySQL privilege tables from
       NDB to InnoDB to fail. (Bug #29205142)

     * During a restart when the data nodes had started but not
       yet elected a president, the management server received a
       node ID already in use error, which resulted in excessive
       retries and logging. This is fixed by introducing a new
       error 1705 Not ready for connection allocation yet for
       this case.
       During a restart when the data nodes had not yet
       completed node failure handling, a spurious Failed to
       allocate nodeID error was returned. This is fixed by
       adding a check to detect an incomplete node start and to
       return error 1703 Node failure handling not completed
       instead.
       As part of this fix, the frequency of retries has been
       reduced for not ready to alloc nodeID errors, an error
       insert has been added to simulate a slow restart for
       testing purposes, and log messages have been reworded to
       indicate that the relevant node ID allocation errors are
       minor and only temporary. (Bug #27484514)

     * NDB on Windows and MacOSX platforms did not always treat
       table names using mixed case consistently with
       lower_case_table_names = 2. (Bug #27307793)

     * The process of selecting the transaction coordinator
       checked for "live" data nodes but not necessarily for
       those that were actually available. (Bug #27160203)

     * The automatic metadata synchronization mechanism requires
       the binary logging thread to acquire the global schema
       lock before an object can be safely synchronized. When
       another thread had acquired this lock at the same time,
       the binary logging thread waited for up to
       TransactionDeadlockDetectionTimeout milliseconds and then
       returned failure if it was unsuccessful in acquiring the
       lock, which was unnecessary and which negatively impacted
       performance.
       This has been fixed by ensuring that the binary logging
       thread acquires the global schema lock, or else returns
       with an error, immediately. As part of this work, a new
       OperationOptions flag OO_NOWAIT has also been implemented
       in the NDB API.
