This release incorporates new features in the
NDBCLUSTER storage engine and fixes
recently discovered bugs in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0
releases.
Obtaining MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0. The latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 binaries for supported platforms can be obtained from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/. Source code for the latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 release can be obtained from the same location. You can also access the MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 development source tree at https://code.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-cluster-7.0.
This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 7.0 releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.1 through MySQL 5.1.56 (see Changes in MySQL 5.1.56 (2011-03-01)).
Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.
Functionality Added or Changed
Added the
MaxDMLOperationsPerTransaction
data node configuration parameter, which can be used to limit
the number of DML operations used by a transaction; if the
transaction requires more than this many DML operations, the
transaction is aborted.
(Bug #12589613)
Bugs Fixed
When global checkpoint indexes were written with no intervening end-of-file or megabyte border markers, this could sometimes lead to a situation in which the end of the redo log was mistakenly regarded as being between these GCIs, so that if the restart of a data node took place before the start of the next redo log was overwritten, the node encountered an Error while reading the REDO log. (Bug #12653993, Bug #61500)

Restarting a mysqld during a rolling upgrade with data nodes running a mix of old and new versions of the MySQL Cluster software caused the mysqld to run in read-only mode. (Bug #12651364, Bug #61498)
Error reporting has been improved for cases in which API nodes are unable to connect due to apparent unavailability of node IDs. (Bug #12598398)
Error messages for Failed to convert connection transporter registration problems were inspecific. (Bug #12589691)
Under certain rare circumstances, a data node process could fail
with Signal 11 during a restart. This was due to uninitialized
variables in the QMGR kernel block.
(Bug #12586190)
Multiple management servers were unable to detect one another
until all nodes had fully started. As part of the fix for this
issue, two new status values RESUME and
CONNECTED can be reported for management
nodes in the output of the ndb_mgm client
SHOW command (see
Commands in the MySQL Cluster Management Client). Two
corresponding status values
NDB_MGM_NODE_STATUS_RESUME and
NDB_MGM_NODE_STATUS_CONNECTED are also added
to the list of possible values for an
ndb_mgm_node_status data
structure in the MGM API.
(Bug #12352191, Bug #48301)
Handling of the
MaxNoOfTables and
MaxNoOfAttributes
configuration parameters was not consistent in all parts of the
NDB kernel, and were only strictly
enforced by the DBDICT and
SUMA kernel blocks. This could lead to
problems when tables could be created but not replicated. Now
these parameters are treated by SUMA and
DBDICT as suggested maximums rather than hard
limits, as they are elsewhere in the
NDB kernel.
(Bug #61684)
It was not possible to shut down a management node while one or more data nodes were stopped (for whatever reason). This issue was a regression introduced in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.24 and MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.13. (Bug #61607)

Cluster API:
Within a transaction, after creating, executing, and closing a
scan, calling
NdbTransaction::refresh() after
creating and executing but not closing a second scan caused the
application to crash.
(Bug #12646659)
Cluster API:
Applications that included the header file
ndb_logevent.h could not be built using the
Microsoft Visual Studio C compiler or the Oracle (Sun) Studio C
compiler due to empty struct definitions.
(Bug #12678971)
