Bugs Fixed

  • PXC-4034: In asynchronous replicas, using sql_log_bin=0 disrupted the Global Transaction Identifier (GTID) consistency, causing issues with replication and tracking transactions across the system.

  • PXC-4041: Rotating the InnoDB Master Key from a read_only node breaks the cluster since changes from a read_only node are not propagated to other nodes.

  • PXC-4179: The performance_schema.processlist did not show information about wsrep applier threads and rollbacker threads.

  • PXC-4277: A 3-node Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) became inconsistent when an ALTER statement with ALGORITHM=INPLACE was used.

  • PXC-4298: The node was disconnected when using ALTER TABLE, including ADD UNIQUE in the table containing duplicate entries (Thanks to Vit Novak for reporting this issue.)

  • PXC-4313: When statements were executed in Replica Set Update (RSU) mode, they generated local Global Transaction Identifier (GTID) events.

  • PXC-4315: There was no Brute Force (BF) abort, but a message saying “Metadata Lock (MDL) conflict… solved by abort” was printed.

  • PXC-4316: If the node shut down while being partitioned from the cluster, started again, and then rejoined the cluster, the other part of the cluster would still wait for the partitioned node.

  • PXC-4317: On newer platforms like AlmaLinux, adding a new node to an existing cluster was unsuccessful because the readlink command used during the SST process on joiner failed (Thanks to Mikael Gbai for reporting this issue.)

  • PXC-4318: The Percona XtraDB Cluster node can serve as an async replica for another master node. However, when the same row was modified on both the Percona XtraDB Cluster node and the master node, the Percona XtraDB Cluster node got stuck due to replication conflicts.

  • PXC-4336: The Percona XtraDB Cluster node disconnected from the cluster due to CHECK CONSTRAINT.

  • PXC-4340: The server exited when executing the complicated query with 9 CTEs.

  • PXC-4341: When running FLUSH TABLES after a statement was prepared, the node could exit due to broken consistency.

  • PXC-4348: The joiner node exited with Metadata Lock BF-BF conflict during IST.

  • PXC-4362: The node could leave the cluster when binary logging was enabled and the function was created without super privilege.

  • PXC-4363: Concurrent CREATE and DROP USER queries on different nodes resulted in a permanent lock.

  • PXC-4365: The node could leave the cluster when the row size was too large and had more than three nvarchar columns.

  • PXC-4367: The InnoDB semaphore wait timeout caused a server exit under a heavy load.

  • PXC-4385: In the Total Order Isolation mode, an ALTER USER in one mode and a SET PASSWORD in another mode caused statements to hang which locked the nodes.

  • PXC-4397: The instance became unresponsive if ALTER DATABASE and DROP TRIGGER commands were run simultaneously.

  • PXC-4401: The function galera::ReplicatorSMM::replicate() contained a duplicate GU_DBUG_SYNC_WAIT(“before_replicate_sync”) command.

  • PXC-4403: Incorrect field metadata caused assertion in protocol_classic.cc::store_string().

  • PXC-4419: A node became unresponsive if DROP USER commands were executed on different nodes.

  • PXC-4428: When the State Snapshot Transfer (SST) completed, the Galera Arbitrator Daemon (garbd) also terminated any SST subprocesses.

  • PXC-4453: Constant and frequent changes of the flow control’s parameter gcs.fc_limit may hang the cluster
