Dear MySQL Users,

MySQL Cluster is the distributed, shared-nothing variant of MySQL.
This storage engine provides:

  - In-Memory storage - Real-time performance
  - Transparent Auto-Sharding - Read & write scalability
  - Active-Active/Multi-Master geographic replication
  - 99.999% High Availability with no single point of failure
    and on-line maintenance
  - NoSQL and SQL APIs (including C++, Java, http, Memcached
    and JavaScript/Node.js)

MySQL Cluster 7.4 makes significant advances in performance;
operational efficiency (such as enhanced reporting and faster restarts
and upgrades) and conflict detection and resolution for active-active
replication between MySQL Clusters.

Changes in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.4.26 (5.6.46-ndb-7.4.26) (2019-10-15, General Availability)

   MySQL NDB Cluster 7.4.26 is a new release of MySQL NDB
   Cluster 7.4, based on MySQL Server 5.6 and including features
   in version 7.4 of the NDB storage engine, as well as fixing
   recently discovered bugs in previous NDB Cluster releases.

   Obtaining MySQL NDB Cluster 7.4.  MySQL NDB Cluster 7.4
   source code and binaries can be obtained from
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.

   For an overview of changes made in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.4, see
   What is New in NDB Cluster 7.4
(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-cluster-what-is-new-7-4.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 5.6
   through MySQL 5.6.46 (see Changes in MySQL 5.6.46 (2019-10-15, General Availability)
(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.6/en/news-5-6-46.html)).

Bugs Fixed

     * 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)

Enjoy and thanks for the support!
