Changes in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.5 (5.7.17-ndb-7.5.5) (2017-01-17)
MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5.5 is a new release of MySQL Cluster NDB
7.5, based on MySQL Server 5.7 and including features in
version 7.5 of the NDB
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-cluster.html)
storage engine, as well as fixing recently discovered bugs in
previous MySQL Cluster releases.
Obtaining MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5. MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5
source code and binaries can be obtained from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.
For an overview of changes made in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5, see
What is New in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-cluster-what-is-new.html).
This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made
in previous MySQL Cluster releases, as well as all bugfixes
and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.7
through MySQL 5.7.17 (see Changes in MySQL 5.7.17
(2016-12-12) , General Availability)
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-17.html)).
Bugs Fixed
* Packaging: The RPM installer for the MySQL Cluster
auto-installer package had a dependency on python2-crypt
instead of python-crypt. (Bug #24924607)
* Microsoft Windows: Installation failed when the
Auto-Installer (ndb_setup.py) was run on a Windows host
that used Swedish as the system language. This was due to
system messages being issued using the cp1252 character
set; when these messages contained characters that did
not map directly to 7-bit ASCII (such as the ? character
in Tj?nsten ... startar), conversion to UTF-8---as
expected by the Auto-Installer web client---failed.
This fix has been tested only with Swedish as the system
language, but should work for Windows systems set to
other European languages that use the cp1252 character
set. (Bug #83870, Bug #25111830)
* No traces were written when ndbmtd received a signal in
any thread other than the main thread, due to the fact
that all signals were blocked for other threads. This
issue is fixed by the removal of SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGILL,
and SIGSEGV signals from the list of signals being
blocked. (Bug #25103068)
* The rand() function was used to produce a unique table ID
and table version needed to identify a schema operation
distributed between multiple SQL nodes, relying on the
assumption that rand() would never produce the same
numbers on two different instances of mysqld. It was
later determined that this is not the case, and that in
fact it is very likely for the same random numbers to be
produced on all SQL nodes.
This fix removes the usage of rand() for producing a
unique table ID or version, and instead uses a sequence
in combination with the node ID of the coordinator. This
guarantees uniqueness until the counter for the sequence
wraps, which should be sufficient for this purpose.
The effects of this duplication could be observed as
timeouts in the log (for example NDB create db: waiting
max 119 sec for distributing) when restarting multiple
mysqld processes simultaneously or nearly so, or when
issuing the same CREATE DATABASE
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-database.html)
or DROP DATABASE
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/drop-database.html)
statement on multiple SQL nodes. (Bug #24926009)
* The ndb_show_tables utility did not display type
information for hash maps or fully replicated triggers.
(Bug #24383742)
* Long message buffer exhaustion when firing immediate
triggers could result in row ID leaks; this could later
result in persistent RowId already allocated errors (NDB
Error 899). (Bug #23723110)

* when a parent NDB
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-cluster.html)
table in a foreign key relationship was updated, the
update cascaded to a child table as expected, but the
change was not cascaded to a child table of this child
table (that is, to a grandchild of the original parent).
This can be illustrated using the tables generated by the
following CREATE TABLE
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-table.html)
statements:
CREATE TABLE parent(
id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
col1 INT UNIQUE,
col2 INT
) ENGINE NDB;
CREATE TABLE child(
ref1 INT UNIQUE,
FOREIGN KEY fk1(ref1)
REFERENCES parent(col1) ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE NDB;
CREATE TABLE grandchild(
ref2 INT,
FOREIGN KEY fk2(ref2)
REFERENCES child(ref1) ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE NDB;
Table child is a child of table parent; table grandchild
is a child of table child, and a grandchild of parent. In
this scenario, a change to column col1 of parent cascaded
to ref1 in table child, but it was not always propagated
in turn to ref2 in table grandchild. (Bug #83743, Bug
#25063506)
* The NDB binlog injector thread used an injector mutex to
perform two important tasks:
1. Protect against client threads creating or dropping
events whenever the injector thread waited for
pollEvents().
2. Maintain access to data shared by the injector
thread with client threads.
The first of these could hold the mutex for long periods
of time (on the order of 10ms), while locking it again
extremely quickly. This could keep it from obtaining the
lock for data access ("starved") for unnecessarily great
lengths of time.
To address these problems, the injector mutex has been
refactored into two---one to handle each of the two tasks
just listed.
It was also found that initialization of the binlog
injector thread held the injector mutex in several places
unnecessarily, when only local thread data was being
initialized and sent signals with condition information
when nothing being waited for was updated. These unneeded
actions have been removed, along with numerous previous
temporary fixes for related injector mutex starvation
issues. (Bug #83676, Bug #83127, Bug #25042101, Bug
#24715897)

#24496910.
* When ndbmtd was built on Solaris/SPARC with version 5.3
of the GNU tools, data nodes using the resulting binary
failed during startup. (Bug #83500, Bug #24941880)
References: See also: Bug #83517, Bug #24947597.
* MySQL Cluster failed to compile using GCC 6. (Bug #83308,
Bug #24822203)
* When a data node was restarted, the node was first
stopped, and then, after a fixed wait, the management
server assumed that the node had entered the NOT_STARTED
state, at which point, the node was sent a start signal.
If the node was not ready because it had not yet
completed stopping (and was therefore not actually in
NOT_STARTED), the signal was silently ignored.
To fix this issue, the management server now checks to
see whether the data node has in fact reached the
NOT_STARTED state before sending the start signal. The
wait for the node to reach this state is split into two
separate checks:
+ Wait for data nodes to start shutting down (maximum
12 seconds)
+ Wait for data nodes to complete shutting down and
reach NOT_STARTED state (maximum 120 seconds)
If either of these cases times out, the restart is
considered failed, and an appropriate error is returned.
(Bug #49464, Bug #11757421)
* CMake now avoids configuring the
-fexpensive-optimizations option for GCC versions for
which the option triggers faulty shift-or optimizations.
