This is a bugfix release, fixing recently discovered bugs in the previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 release.
MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 no longer in development. MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 (formerly known as “MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition 6.1.x”) is no longer being developed or maintained; if you are using a MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 release, you should consider upgrading to MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2 or 6.3.
This Beta release incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.1 through MySQL 5.1.15 (see Changes in MySQL 5.1.15 (2007-01-25)).
Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.
Functionality Added or Changed
Some unneeded printouts in the ndbd out file were removed.
A new times printout was added in the
ndbd watchdog thread.
The names of some log and other files were changed to avoid issues with the tar command's 99-character file name limit.
Bugs Fixed
Setting
InitialNoOfOpenFiles
equal to
MaxNoOfOpenFiles caused
an error. This was due to the fact that the actual value of
MaxNoOfOpenFiles as used
by the cluster was offset by 1 from the value set in
config.ini.
(Bug #28749)
A corrupt schema file could cause a File already open error. (Bug #28770)
A regression in the heartbeat monitoring code could lead to node failure under high load. This issue affected MySQL 5.1.19 and MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1.10 only. (Bug #28783)
A race condition could result when nonmaster nodes (in addition
to the master node) tried to update active status due to a local
checkpoint (that is, between NODE_FAILREP and
COPY_GCIREQ events). Now only the master
updates the active status.
(Bug #28717)
A fast global checkpoint under high load with high usage of the redo buffer caused data nodes to fail. (Bug #28653)
Disk Data:
When loading data into a cluster following a version upgrade,
the data nodes could forcibly shut down due to page and buffer
management failures (that is, ndbrequire
failures in PGMAN).
(Bug #28525)
