Functionality Added or Changed

• MySQL NDB Cluster now generates log entries for redo logging issues, including redo log buffer exhaustion, redo log space exhaustion, and file change problems, which can cause transactions to be aborted, queued, or delayed. A secondary overload control mechanism monitors the rate at which the redo log part's Redo buffer is flushed to disk and estimates the time required to complete writing all data in the part's Redo buffer. (Bug #37903091)

Bugs Fixed

• It was not possible to restore backups with BackupID values greater than 2147483647, with the ndb_restore tool. Errors were returned similar to the following:

          ndb_restore: [Warning] option 'backupid': signed value
          3000000000 adjusted to 2147483647. Failed to find backup
          2147483647.
