Important Change: A mysqld process joining a MySQL NDB Cluster where distributed privileges are in use now automatically executes a FLUSH PRIVILEGES as part of the connection process, so that the cluster's distributed privileges take immediate effect on the new SQL node. (Bug #13340854)

Packaging: RPM distributions of MySQL NDB Cluster 7.1 contained a number of packages which in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2 have been merged into the MySQL-Cluster-server RPM. However, the MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2 MySQL-Cluster-server RPM did not actually obsolete these packages, which meant that they had to be removed manually prior to performing an upgrade from a MySQL NDB Cluster 7.1 RPM installation.

These packages include the MySQL-Cluster-clusterj, MySQL-Cluster-extra, MySQL-Cluster-management, MySQL-Cluster-storage, and MySQL NDB Cluster-tools RPMs.

For more information, see Installing NDB Cluster from RPM. (Bug #13545589)

Accessing a table having a BLOB column but no primary key following a restart of the SQL node failed with Error 1 (Unknown error code). (Bug #13563280)

At the beginning of a local checkpoint, each data node marks its local tables with a “to be checkpointed” flag. A failure of the master node during this process could cause either the LCP to hang, or one or more data nodes to be forcibly shut down. (Bug #13436481)

A node failure while a ANALYZE TABLE statement was executing resulted in a hung connection (and the user was not informed of any error that would cause this to happen). (Bug #13416603)
