Bugs Fixed
When global checkpoint indexes were written with no intervening end-of-file or megabyte border markers, this could sometimes lead to a situation in which the end of the redo log was mistakenly regarded as being between these GCIs, so that if the restart of a data node took place before the start of the next redo log was overwritten, the node encountered an Error while reading the REDO log. (Bug #12653993, Bug #61500)
References: See also Bug #56961.
Error reporting has been improved for cases in which API nodes are unable to connect due to apparent unavailability of node IDs. (Bug #12598398)
Error messages for Failed to convert connection transporter registration problems were inspecific. (Bug #12589691)
Under certain rare circumstances, a data node process could fail
with Signal 11 during a restart. This was due to uninitialized
variables in the QMGR kernel block.
(Bug #12586190)
Handling of the
MaxNoOfTables and
MaxNoOfAttributes
configuration parameters was not consistent in all parts of the
NDB kernel, and were only strictly
enforced by the DBDICT and
SUMA kernel blocks. This could lead to
problems when tables could be created but not replicated. Now
these parameters are treated by SUMA and
DBDICT as suggested maximums rather than hard
limits, as they are elsewhere in the
NDB kernel.
(Bug #61684)
Cluster API:
Within a transaction, after creating, executing, and closing a
scan, calling
NdbTransaction::refresh() after
creating and executing but not closing a second scan caused the
application to crash.
(Bug #12646659)
