This chapter provides information about MySQL
NDB Cluster, a
high-availability, high-redundancy version of MySQL adapted for the
distributed computing environment. The most recent NDB Cluster
release series uses version 8 of the
NDB storage engine (also known as
NDBCLUSTER) to enable running several
computers with MySQL servers and other software in a cluster. NDB
Cluster 8.0, now available as a General Availability (GA) release
beginning with version 8.0.19, incorporates version 8.0 of the
NDB storage engine. NDB Cluster 7.6 and NDB
Cluster 7.5, still available as GA releases, use versions 7.6 and
7.5 of NDB, respectively. Previous GA releases
still available for use in production, NDB Cluster 7.4 and NDB
Cluster 7.3, incorporate NDB versions 7.4 and
7.3, respectively. NDB Cluster 7.2, which uses version 7.2 of the
NDB storage engine, is a past GA release that is
no longer supported for new deployments; legacy NDB 7.2 users are
encouraged to upgrade to NDB 7.6 or NDB 8.0. NDB 7.1 and
older release series are no longer supported or
maintained.
This chapter contains information about NDB Cluster 7.3 releases through 5.6.51-ndb-7.3.34 as well as NDB Cluster 7.4 releases through 5.6.51-ndb-7.4.37. The latest available releases of these are 5.6.51-ndb-7.3.34 and 5.6.51-ndb-7.4.36, respectively. NDB Cluster 8.0 is now available as a General Availability release, and recommended for new deployments; for information about NDB Cluster 8.0, see What is New in NDB Cluster. NDB Cluster 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 are previous GA releases still supported in production. For similar information about NDB Cluster 7.6 and 7.5, see What is New in NDB Cluster.
