Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7.12-5rc1-26.16

Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7.12-5rc1-26.16 on August 9, 2016. Binaries are available from the downloads area or from our software repositories.

Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7.12-5rc1-26.16 is based on the following:

New Features

  • PXC Strict Mode: Use the pxc_strict_mode variable in the configuration file or the --pxc-strict-mode option during mysqld startup. For more information, see PXC Strict Mode.

  • Galera instruments exposed in Performance Schema: This includes mutexes, condition variables, file instances, and threads.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed error messages.

  • Fixed the failure of SST via mysqldump with gtid_mode=ON.

  • Added check for TOI that ensures node readiness to process DDL+DML before starting the execution.

  • Removed protection against repeated calls of wsrep->pause() on the same node to allow parallel RSU operation.

  • Changed wsrep_row_upd_check_foreign_constraints to ensure that fk-reference-table is open before marking it open.

  • Fixed error when running SHOW STATUS during group state update.

  • Corrected the return code of sst_flush_tables() function to return a non-negative error code and thus pass assertion.

  • Fixed memory leak and stale pointer due to stats not freeing when toggling the wsrep_provider variable.

  • Fixed failure of ROLLBACK to register wsrep_handler

  • Fixed failure of symmetric encryption during SST.

Other Changes

  • Added support for sending the keyring when performing encrypted SST. For more information, see Encrypting PXC Traffic.

  • Changed the code of THD_PROC_INFO to reflect what the thread is currently doing.

  • Using XtraBackup as the SST method now requires Percona XtraBackup 2.4.4 or later.

  • Improved rollback process to ensure that when a transaction is rolled back, any statements open by the transaction are also rolled back.

  • Removed the sst_special_dirs variable.

  • Disabled switching of slave_preserve_commit_order to ON when running PXC in cluster mode, as it conflicts with existing multi-master commit ordering resolution algorithm in Galera.

  • Changed the default my.cnf configuration.

  • Other low-level fixes and improvements for better stability.
