Changes in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.4.25 (5.6.45-ndb-7.4.25) (2019-07-23, General Availability)

Bugs Fixed

• The requestInfo fields for the long and short forms of the LQHKEYREQ signal had different definitions; bits used for the key length in the short version were reused for flags in the long version, since the key length is implicit in the section length of the long version of the signal but it was possible for long LQHKEYREQ signals to contain a keylength in these same bits, which could be misinterpreted by the receiving local query handler, potentially leading to errors. Checks have now been implemented to make sure that this no longer happens. (Bug #29820838)

• When restoring TINYBLOB columns, ndb_restore now treats them as having the BINARY character set. (Bug #29486538)

• Restoration of epochs by ndb_restore failed due to temporary redo errors. Now ndb_restore retries epoch updates when such errors occur. (Bug #29466089)

• ndb_restore --restore-epoch incorrectly reported the stop GCP as 1 less than the actual position. (Bug #29343655)

• Added support which was missing in ndb_restore for conversions between the following sets of types:

  • BLOB and BINARY or VARBINARY columns

  • TEXT and BLOB columns

  • BLOB columns with unequal lengths

  • BINARY and VARBINARY columns with unequal lengths
