--ndbcluster

The NDBCLUSTER storage engine is necessary for using NDB Cluster. If a mysqld binary includes support for the NDBCLUSTER storage engine, the engine is disabled by default. Use the --ndbcluster option to enable it. Use --skip-ndbcluster to explicitly disable the engine.

It is not necessary or desirable to use this option together with --initialize. Beginning with NDB 7.5.4, --ndbcluster is ignored (and the NDB storage engine is not enabled) if --initialize is also used. (Bug #81689, Bug #23518923)

--ndb-allow-copying-alter-table=[ON|OFF]

Let ALTER TABLE and other DDL statements use copying operations on NDB tables. Set to OFF to keep this from happening; doing so may improve performance of critical applications.

--ndb-batch-size=#

This sets the size in bytes that is used for NDB transaction batches.

--ndb-cluster-connection-pool=#

By setting this option to a value greater than 1 (the default), a mysqld process can use multiple connections to the cluster, effectively mimicking several SQL nodes. Each connection requires its own [api] or [mysqld] section in the cluster configuration (config.ini) file, and counts against the maximum number of API connections supported by the cluster.

Suppose that you have 2 cluster host computers, each running an SQL node whose mysqld process was started with --ndb-cluster-connection-pool=4; this means that the cluster must have 8 API slots available for these connections (instead of 2). All of these connections are set up when the SQL node connects to the cluster, and are allocated to threads in a round-robin fashion.

This option is useful only when running mysqld on host machines having multiple CPUs, multiple cores, or both. For best results, the value should be smaller than the total number of cores available on the host machine. Setting it to a value greater than this is likely to degrade performance severely.

--ndb-cluster-connection-pool-nodeids=list

Specifies a comma-separated list of node IDs for connections to the cluster used by an SQL node. The number of nodes in this list must be the same as the value set for the --ndb-cluster-connection-pool option.

--ndb-cluster-connection-pool-nodeids was added in NDB 7.5.0.

--ndb-blob-read-batch-bytes=bytes

This option can be used to set the size (in bytes) for batching of BLOB data reads in NDB Cluster applications. When this batch size is exceeded by the amount of BLOB data to be read within the current transaction, any pending BLOB read operations are immediately executed.

The maximum value for this option is 4294967295; the default is 65536. Setting it to 0 has the effect of disabling BLOB read batching.

--ndb-blob-write-batch-bytes=bytes

This option can be used to set the size (in bytes) for batching of BLOB data writes in NDB Cluster applications. When this batch size is exceeded by the amount of BLOB data to be written within the current transaction, any pending BLOB write operations are immediately executed.

The maximum value for this option is 4294967295; the default is 65536. Setting it to 0 has the effect of disabling BLOB write batching.

--ndb-connectstring=connection_string

When using the NDBCLUSTER storage engine, this option specifies the management server that distributes cluster configuration data. See Section 21.3.3.3, “NDB Cluster Connection Strings”, for syntax.

--ndb-default-column-format=[FIXED|DYNAMIC]

In NDB 7.5.1 and later, sets the default COLUMN_FORMAT and ROW_FORMAT for new tables (see Section 13.1.18, “CREATE TABLE Statement”).

In NDB 7.5.1, the default for this option was DYNAMIC; in NDB 7.5.4, the default was changed to FIXED to maintain backwards compatibility with older release series (Bug #24487363).

--ndb-deferred-constraints=[0|1]

Controls whether or not constraint checks on unique indexes are deferred until commit time, where such checks are supported. 0 is the default.

This option is not normally needed for operation of NDB Cluster or NDB Cluster Replication, and is intended primarily for use in testing.

--ndb-distribution=[KEYHASH|LINHASH]

Controls the default distribution method for NDB tables. Can be set to either of KEYHASH (key hashing) or LINHASH (linear hashing). KEYHASH is the default.

--ndb-log-apply-status

Causes a replica mysqld to log any updates received from its immediate source to the mysql.ndb_apply_status table in its own binary log using its own server ID rather than the server ID of the source. In a circular or chain replication setting, this allows such updates to propagate to the mysql.ndb_apply_status tables of any MySQL servers configured as replicas of the current mysqld.

In a chain replication setup, using this option allows downstream (replica) clusters to be aware of their positions relative to all of their upstream contributors (sources).

In a circular replication setup, this option causes changes to ndb_apply_status tables to complete the entire circuit, eventually propagating back to the originating NDB Cluster. This also allows a cluster acting as a source to see when its changes (epochs) have been applied to the other clusters in the circle.

This option has no effect unless the MySQL server is started with the --ndbcluster option.

--ndb-log-empty-epochs=[ON|OFF]

Causes epochs during which there were no changes to be written to the ndb_apply_status and ndb_binlog_index tables, even when log_slave_updates is enabled.

By default this option is disabled. Disabling --ndb-log-empty-epochs causes epoch transactions with no changes not to be written to the binary log, although a row is still written even for an empty epoch in ndb_binlog_index.

Because --ndb-log-empty-epochs=1 causes the size of the ndb_binlog_index table to increase independently of the size of the binary log, users should be prepared to manage the growth of this table, even if they expect the cluster to be idle a large part of the time.

--ndb-log-empty-update=[ON|OFF]

Causes updates that produced no changes to be written to the ndb_apply_status and ndb_binlog_index tables, when when log_slave_updates is enabled.

By default this option is disabled (OFF). Disabling --ndb-log-empty-update causes updates with no changes not to be written to the binary log.

--ndb-log-exclusive-reads=[0|1]

Starting the server with this option causes primary key reads to be logged with exclusive locks, which allows for NDB Cluster Replication conflict detection and resolution based on read conflicts. You can also enable and disable these locks at runtime by setting the value of the ndb_log_exclusive_reads system variable to 1 or 0, respectively. 0 (disable locking) is the default.

For more information, see Read conflict detection and resolution.

--ndb-log-fail-terminate

When this option is specified, and complete logging of all found row events is not possible, the mysqld process is terminated.

--ndb-log-orig

Log the originating server ID and epoch in the ndb_binlog_index table.

For more information, see Section 21.6.4, “NDB Cluster Replication Schema and Tables”.

--ndb-log-transaction-id

Causes a replica mysqld to write the NDB transaction ID in each row of the binary log. Such logging requires the use of the Version 2 event format for the binary log; thus, the log_bin_use_v1_row_events system variable must be disabled to use this option.

This option is not supported in mainline MySQL Server 5.7. It is required to enable NDB Cluster Replication conflict detection and resolution using the NDB$EPOCH_TRANS() function (see NDB$EPOCH_TRANS()).

The default value is FALSE.

For more information, see Section 21.6.11, “NDB Cluster Replication Conflict Resolution”.

--ndb-log-update-minimal

Log updates in a minimal fashion, by writing only the primary key values in the before image, and only the changed columns in the after image. This may cause compatibility problems if replicating to storage engines other than NDB.

--ndb-mgmd-host=host[:port]

Can be used to set the host and port number of a single management server for the program to connect to. If the program requires node IDs or references to multiple management servers (or both) in its connection information, use the --ndb-connectstring option instead.

--ndb-nodeid=#

Set this MySQL server's node ID in an NDB Cluster.

The --ndb-nodeid option overrides any node ID set with --ndb-connectstring, regardless of the order in which the two options are used.

In addition, if --ndb-nodeid is used, then either a matching node ID must be found in a [mysqld] or [api] section of config.ini, or there must be an “open” [mysqld] or [api] section in the file (that is, a section without a NodeId or Id parameter specified). This is also true if the node ID is specified as part of the connection string.

Regardless of how the node ID is determined, its is shown as the value of the global status variable Ndb_cluster_node_id in the output of SHOW STATUS, and as cluster_node_id in the connection row of the output of SHOW ENGINE NDBCLUSTER STATUS.

For more information about node IDs for NDB Cluster SQL nodes, see Section 21.3.3.7, “Defining SQL and Other API Nodes in an NDB Cluster”.

--ndb-optimization-delay=milliseconds

Set the number of milliseconds to wait between sets of rows by OPTIMIZE TABLE statements on NDB tables. The default is 10.

--ndb-transid-mysql-connection-map=state

Enables or disables the plugin that handles the ndb_transid_mysql_connection_map table in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database. Takes one of the values ON, OFF, or FORCE. ON (the default) enables the plugin. OFF disables the plugin, which makes ndb_transid_mysql_connection_map inaccessible. FORCE keeps the MySQL Server from starting if the plugin fails to load and start.

You can see whether the ndb_transid_mysql_connection_map table plugin is running by checking the output of SHOW PLUGINS.

--ndb-wait-connected=seconds

This option sets the period of time that the MySQL server waits for connections to NDB Cluster management and data nodes to be established before accepting MySQL client connections. The time is specified in seconds. The default value is 30.

--ndb-wait-setup=seconds

This variable shows the period of time that the MySQL server waits for the NDB storage engine to complete setup before timing out and treating NDB as unavailable. The time is specified in seconds. The default value is 30.

--skip-ndbcluster

Disable the NDBCLUSTER storage engine. This is the default for binaries that were built with NDBCLUSTER storage engine support; the server allocates memory and other resources for this storage engine only if the --ndbcluster option is given explicitly. See Section 21.3.1, “Quick Test Setup of NDB Cluster”, for an example.

ndb_autoincrement_prefetch_sz

Determines the probability of gaps in an autoincremented column. Set it to 1 to minimize this. Setting it to a high value for optimization makes inserts faster, but decreases the likelihood that consecutive autoincrement numbers will be used in a batch of inserts.

This variable affects only the number of AUTO_INCREMENT IDs that are fetched between statements; within a given statement, at least 32 IDs are obtained at a time.

ndb_cache_check_time

The number of milliseconds that elapse between checks of NDB Cluster SQL nodes by the MySQL query cache. Setting this to 0 (the default and minimum value) means that the query cache checks for validation on every query.

The recommended maximum value for this variable is 1000, which means that the check is performed once per second. A larger value means that the check is performed and possibly invalidated due to updates on different SQL nodes less often. It is generally not desirable to set this to a value greater than 2000.

ndb_clear_apply_status

By the default, executing RESET SLAVE causes an NDB Cluster replica to purge all rows from its ndb_apply_status table. You can disable this by setting ndb_clear_apply_status=OFF.

ndb_data_node_neighbour

Sets the ID of a “nearest” data node—that is, a preferred nonlocal data node is chosen to execute the transaction, rather than one running on the same host as the SQL or API node. This used to ensure that when a fully replicated table is accessed, we access it on this data node, to ensure that the local copy of the table is always used whenever possible. This can also be used for providing hints for transactions.

This can improve data access times in the case of a node that is physically closer than and thus has higher network throughput than others on the same host.

See Section 13.1.18.9, “Setting NDB_TABLE Options”, for further information.

Added in NDB 7.5.2.

ndb_default_column_format

In NDB 7.5.1 and later, sets the default COLUMN_FORMAT and ROW_FORMAT for new tables (see Section 13.1.18, “CREATE TABLE Statement”).

In NDB 7.5.1, the default for this variable was DYNAMIC; in NDB 7.5.4, the default was changed to FIXED to maintain backwards compatibility with older release series (Bug #24487363).

ndb_deferred_constraints

Controls whether or not constraint checks are deferred, where these are supported. 0 is the default.

This variable is not normally needed for operation of NDB Cluster or NDB Cluster Replication, and is intended primarily for use in testing.

ndb_distribution

Controls the default distribution method for NDB tables. Can be set to either of KEYHASH (key hashing) or LINHASH (linear hashing). KEYHASH is the default.

ndb_eventbuffer_free_percent

Sets the percentage of the maximum memory allocated to the event buffer (ndb_eventbuffer_max_alloc) that should be available in event buffer after reaching the maximum, before starting to buffer again.

ndb_eventbuffer_max_alloc

Sets the maximum amount memory (in bytes) that can be allocated for buffering events by the NDB API. 0 means that no limit is imposed, and is the default.

ndb_extra_logging

This variable enables recording in the MySQL error log of information specific to the NDB storage engine.

When this variable is set to 0, the only information specific to NDB that is written to the MySQL error log relates to transaction handling. If it set to a value greater than 0 but less than 10, NDB table schema and connection events are also logged, as well as whether or not conflict resolution is in use, and other NDB errors and information. If the value is set to 10 or more, information about NDB internals, such as the progress of data distribution among cluster nodes, is also written to the MySQL error log. The default is 1.

ndb_force_send

Forces sending of buffers to NDB immediately, without waiting for other threads. Defaults to ON.

ndb_fully_replicated

Determines whether new NDB tables are fully replicated. This setting can be overridden for an individual table using COMMENT="NDB_TABLE=FULLY_REPLICATED=..." in a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement; see Section 13.1.18.9, “Setting NDB_TABLE Options”, for syntax and other information.

Added in NDB 7.5.2.

ndb_index_stat_enable

Use NDB index statistics in query optimization. The default is ON.

ndb_index_stat_option

This variable is used for providing tuning options for NDB index statistics generation. The list consist of comma-separated name-value pairs of option names and values, and this list must not contain any space characters.

Options not used when setting ndb_index_stat_option are not changed from their default values. For example, you can set ndb_index_stat_option = 'loop_idle=1000ms,cache_limit=32M'.

Time values can be optionally suffixed with h (hours), m (minutes), or s (seconds). Millisecond values can optionally be specified using ms; millisecond values cannot be specified using h, m, or s.) Integer values can be suffixed with K, M, or G.

The names of the options that can be set using this variable are shown in the table that follows. The table also provides brief descriptions of the options, their default values, and (where applicable) their minimum and maximum values.

ndb_join_pushdown

This variable controls whether joins on NDB tables are pushed down to the NDB kernel (data nodes). Previously, a join was handled using multiple accesses of NDB by the SQL node; however, when ndb_join_pushdown is enabled, a pushable join is sent in its entirety to the data nodes, where it can be distributed among the data nodes and executed in parallel on multiple copies of the data, with a single, merged result being returned to mysqld. This can reduce greatly the number of round trips between an SQL node and the data nodes required to handle such a join.

By default, ndb_join_pushdown is enabled.

Conditions for NDB pushdown joins.  In order for a join to be pushable, it must meet the following conditions:

You can see whether a given join can be pushed down by checking it with EXPLAIN; when the join can be pushed down, you can see references to the pushed join in the Extra column of the output, as shown in this example:

mysql> EXPLAIN
    ->     SELECT e.first_name, e.last_name, t.title, d.dept_name
    ->         FROM employees e
    ->         JOIN dept_emp de ON e.emp_no=de.emp_no
    ->         JOIN departments d ON d.dept_no=de.dept_no

Two additional sources of information about pushed join performance are available:

ndb_log_apply_status

A read-only variable which shows whether the server was started with the --ndb-log-apply-status option.

ndb_log_bin

Causes updates to NDB tables to be written to the binary log. Setting this variable has no effect if binary logging is not already enabled for the server using log_bin. ndb_log_bin defaults to 1 (ON); normally, there is never any need to change this value in a production environment.

ndb_log_binlog_index

Causes a mapping of epochs to positions in the binary log to be inserted into the ndb_binlog_index table. Setting this variable has no effect if binary logging is not already enabled for the server using log_bin. (In addition, ndb_log_bin must not be disabled.) ndb_log_binlog_index defaults to 1 (ON); normally, there is never any need to change this value in a production environment.

ndb_log_empty_epochs

When this variable is set to 0, epoch transactions with no changes are not written to the binary log, although a row is still written even for an empty epoch in ndb_binlog_index.

ndb_log_empty_update

When this variable is set to ON (1), update transactions with no changes are written to the binary log, even when log_slave_updates is enabled.

ndb_log_exclusive_reads

This variable determines whether primary key reads are logged with exclusive locks, which allows for NDB Cluster Replication conflict detection and resolution based on read conflicts. To enable these locks, set the value of ndb_log_exclusive_reads to 1. 0, which disables such locking, is the default.

For more information, see Read conflict detection and resolution.

ndb_log_orig

Shows whether the originating server ID and epoch are logged in the ndb_binlog_index table. Set using the --ndb-log-orig server option.

ndb_log_transaction_id

This read-only, Boolean system variable shows whether a replica mysqld writes NDB transaction IDs in the binary log (required to use “active-active” NDB Cluster Replication with NDB$EPOCH_TRANS() conflict detection). To change the setting, use the --ndb-log-transaction-id option.

ndb_log_transaction_id is not supported in mainline MySQL Server 5.7.

For more information, see Section 21.6.11, “NDB Cluster Replication Conflict Resolution”.

ndb_optimized_node_selection

There are two forms of optimized node selection, described here:

This option takes one of the integer values 0, 1, 2, or 3. 3 is the default. These values affect node selection as follows:

Proximity is determined as follows:

Frequent changes in ndb_data_node_neighbour are not advisable, since this changes the state of the cluster connection and thus may disrupt the selection algorithm for new transactions from each thread until it stablilizes.

ndb_read_backup

Enable read from any fragment replica for any NDB table subsequently created; doing so greatly improves the table read performance at a relatively small cost to writes.

To enable or disable read from any fragment replica for an individual table, you can set the NDB_TABLE option READ_BACKUP for the table accordingly, in a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement; see Section 13.1.18.9, “Setting NDB_TABLE Options”, for more information.

Added in NDB 7.5.2.

ndb_recv_thread_activation_threshold

When this number of concurrently active threads is reached, the receive thread takes over polling of the cluster connection.

This variable is global in scope. It can also be set at startup.

ndb_recv_thread_cpu_mask

CPU mask for locking receiver threads to specific CPUs. This is specified as a hexadecimal bitmask. For example, 0x33 means that one CPU is used per receiver thread. An empty string is the default; setting ndb_recv_thread_cpu_mask to this value removes any receiver thread locks previously set.

This variable is global in scope. It can also be set at startup.

ndb_report_thresh_binlog_epoch_slip

In NDB 7.5.4 and later, this represents the threshold for the number of epochs completely buffered in the event buffer, but not yet consumed by the binlog injector thread. When this degree of slippage (lag) is exceeded, an event buffer status message is reported, with BUFFERED_EPOCHS_OVER_THRESHOLD supplied as the reason (see Section 21.5.2.3, “Event Buffer Reporting in the Cluster Log”). Slip is increased when an epoch is received from data nodes and buffered completely in the event buffer; it is decreased when an epoch is consumed by the binlog injector thread, it is reduced. Empty epochs are buffered and queued, and so included in this calculation only when this is enabled using the Ndb::setEventBufferQueueEmptyEpoch() method from the NDB API.

Prior to NDB 7.5.4, the value of this vairable served as a threshold for the number of epochs to be behind before reporting binary log status. In these previous releases, a value of 3—the default—means that if the difference between which epoch has been received from the storage nodes and which epoch has been applied to the binary log is 3 or more, a status message is then sent to the cluster log.

ndb_report_thresh_binlog_mem_usage

This is a threshold on the percentage of free memory remaining before reporting binary log status. For example, a value of 10 (the default) means that if the amount of available memory for receiving binary log data from the data nodes falls below 10%, a status message is sent to the cluster log.

ndb_row_checksum

Traditionally, NDB has created tables with row checksums, which checks for hardware issues at the expense of performance. Setting ndb_row_checksum to 0 means that row checksums are not used for new or altered tables, which has a significant impact on performance for all types of queries. This variable is set to 1 by default, to provide backward-compatible behavior.

ndb_show_foreign_key_mock_tables

Show the mock tables used by NDB to support foreign_key_checks=0. When this is enabled, extra warnings are shown when creating and dropping the tables. The real (internal) name of the table can be seen in the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE.

ndb_slave_conflict_role

Determine the role of this SQL node (and NDB Cluster) in a circular (“active-active”) replication setup. ndb_slave_conflict_role can take any one of the values PRIMARY, SECONDARY, PASS, or NULL (the default). The replica SQL thread must be stopped before you can change ndb_slave_conflict_role. In addition, it is not possible to change directly between PASS and either of PRIMARY or SECONDARY directly; in such cases, you must ensure that the SQL thread is stopped, then execute SET @@GLOBAL.ndb_slave_conflict_role = 'NONE' first.

For more information, see Section 21.6.11, “NDB Cluster Replication Conflict Resolution”.

ndb_table_no_logging

When this variable is set to ON or 1, it causes NDB tables not to be checkpointed to disk. More specifically, this setting applies to tables which are created or altered using ENGINE NDB when ndb_table_no_logging is enabled, and continues to apply for the lifetime of the table, even if ndb_table_no_logging is later changed. Suppose that A, B, C, and D are tables that we create (and perhaps also alter), and that we also change the setting for ndb_table_no_logging as shown here:

SET @@ndb_table_no_logging = 1;

CREATE TABLE A ... ENGINE NDB;

CREATE TABLE B ... ENGINE MYISAM;
CREATE TABLE C ... ENGINE MYISAM;

ALTER TABLE B ENGINE NDB;

SET @@ndb_table_no_logging = 0;

CREATE TABLE D ... ENGINE NDB;
ALTER TABLE C ENGINE NDB;

SET @@ndb_table_no_logging = 1;

After the previous sequence of events, tables A and B are not checkpointed; A was created with ENGINE NDB and B was altered to use NDB, both while ndb_table_no_logging was enabled. However, tables C and D are logged; C was altered to use NDB and D was created using ENGINE NDB, both while ndb_table_no_logging was disabled. Setting ndb_table_no_logging back to 1 or ON does not cause table C or D to be checkpointed.

ndb_table_temporary

When set to ON or 1, this variable causes NDB tables not to be written to disk: This means that no table schema files are created, and that the tables are not logged.

ndb_use_copying_alter_table

Forces NDB to use copying of tables in the event of problems with online ALTER TABLE operations. The default value is OFF.

ndb_use_exact_count

Forces NDB to use a count of records during SELECT COUNT(*) query planning to speed up this type of query. The default value is OFF, which allows for faster queries overall.

ndb_use_transactions

You can disable NDB transaction support by setting this variable's values to OFF (not recommended). The default is ON.

ndb_version

NDB engine version, as a composite integer.

ndb_version_string

NDB engine version in ndb-x.y.z format.

server_id_bits

This variable indicates the number of least significant bits within the 32-bit server_id which actually identify the server. Indicating that the server is actually identified by fewer than 32 bits makes it possible for some of the remaining bits to be used for other purposes, such as storing user data generated by applications using the NDB API's Event API within the AnyValue of an OperationOptions structure (NDB Cluster uses the AnyValue to store the server ID).

When extracting the effective server ID from server_id for purposes such as detection of replication loops, the server ignores the remaining bits. The server_id_bits variable is used to mask out any irrelevant bits of server_id in the I/O and SQL threads when deciding whether an event should be ignored based on the server ID.

This data can be read from the binary log by mysqlbinlog, provided that it is run with its own server_id_bits variable set to 32 (the default).

If the value of server_id greater than or equal to 2 to the power of server_id_bits; otherwise, mysqld refuses to start.

This system variable is supported only by NDB Cluster. It is not supported in the standard MySQL 5.7 Server.

slave_allow_batching

Whether or not batched updates are enabled on NDB Cluster replicas.

Setting this variable has an effect only when using replication with the NDB storage engine; in MySQL Server 5.7, it is present but does nothing. For more information, see Section 21.6.6, “Starting NDB Cluster Replication (Single Replication Channel)”.

transaction_allow_batching

When set to 1 or ON, this variable enables batching of statements within the same transaction. To use this variable, autocommit must first be disabled by setting it to 0 or OFF; otherwise, setting transaction_allow_batching has no effect.

It is safe to use this variable with transactions that performs writes only, as having it enabled can lead to reads from the “before” image. You should ensure that any pending transactions are committed (using an explicit COMMIT if desired) before issuing a SELECT.

This variable is currently supported for NDB Cluster only.

ndbinfo_database

Shows the name used for the NDB information database; the default is ndbinfo. This is a read-only variable whose value is determined at compile time; you can set it by starting the server using --ndbinfo-database=name, which sets the value shown for this variable but does not actually change the name used for the NDB information database.

ndbinfo_max_bytes

Used in testing and debugging only.

ndbinfo_max_rows

Used in testing and debugging only.

ndbinfo_offline

Place the ndbinfo database into offline mode, in which tables and views can be opened even when they do not actually exist, or when they exist but have different definitions in NDB. No rows are returned from such tables (or views).

ndbinfo_show_hidden

Whether or not the ndbinfo database's underlying internal tables are shown in the mysql client. The default is OFF.

ndbinfo_table_prefix

The prefix used in naming the ndbinfo database's base tables (normally hidden, unless exposed by setting ndbinfo_show_hidden). This is a read-only variable whose default value is ndb$. You can start the server with the --ndbinfo-table-prefix option, but this merely sets the variable and does not change the actual prefix used to name the hidden base tables; the prefix itself is determined at compile time.

ndbinfo_version

Shows the version of the ndbinfo engine in use; read-only.

Handler_discover

The MySQL server can ask the NDBCLUSTER storage engine if it knows about a table with a given name. This is called discovery. Handler_discover indicates the number of times that tables have been discovered using this mechanism.

If the server is not part of an NDB Cluster, then the value of this variable is 0.

Ndb_pushed_queries_defined

The total number of joins pushed down to the NDB kernel for distributed handling on the data nodes.

Ndb_pushed_queries_dropped

The number of joins that were pushed down to the NDB kernel but that could not be handled there.

Ndb_pushed_queries_executed

The number of joins successfully pushed down to NDB and executed there.

Ndb_pushed_reads

The number of rows returned to mysqld from the NDB kernel by joins that were pushed down.

Ndb_pruned_scan_count

This variable holds a count of the number of scans executed by NDBCLUSTER since the NDB Cluster was last started where NDBCLUSTER was able to use partition pruning.

Using this variable together with Ndb_scan_count can be helpful in schema design to maximize the ability of the server to prune scans to a single table partition, thereby involving only a single data node.

Ndb_scan_count

This variable holds a count of the total number of scans executed by NDBCLUSTER since the NDB Cluster was last started.

Ndb_slave_max_replicated_epoch

The most recently committed epoch on this replica. You can compare this value with Ndb_conflict_last_conflict_epoch; if Ndb_slave_max_replicated_epoch is the greater of the two, no conflicts have yet been detected.

For more information, see Section 21.6.11, “NDB Cluster Replication Conflict Resolution”.

Ndb_system_name

If this MySQL Server is connected to an NDB cluster, this read-only variable shows the cluster system name. Otherwise, the value is an empty string.
