This is the MySQL NDB Cluster Internals Manual, which contains
information about the NDBCLUSTER
storage engine that is not strictly necessary for running the NDB
Cluster product, but can prove useful for development and debugging
purposes. Topics covered in this Guide include, among others,
communication protocols
employed between nodes,
file systems used by
management nodes and data nodes,
error messages, and
debugging (DUMP
)
commands in the management client.
The information presented in this guide is current for recent releases of NDB Cluster 8.0 up to and including NDB Cluster 8.0.38, as well as the NDB Cluster 8.4 LTS series. Due to significant functional and other changes in NDB Cluster and its underlying APIs, you should not expect this information to apply to previous releases of the NDB Cluster software prior to NDB Cluster 7.5. Users of older NDB Cluster releases should upgrade to the latest available release of NDB Cluster 8.0, which is the most recent GA release series, or to the NDB Cluster 8.4 LTS series.
