MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0
MySQL NDB Cluster uses the MySQL server with theNDB storage engine. Support for theNDB storage engine is not included in standard MySQL Server 8.0 binaries built by Oracle. Instead, users of NDB Cluster binaries from Oracle should upgrade to the most recent binary release of NDB Cluster for supported platforms—these include RPMs that should work with most Linux distributions. NDB Cluster 8.0 users who build from source should use the sources provided for MySQL 8.0 and build with the options required to provide NDB support. (Locations where the sources can be obtained are listed later in this section.)
MySQL NDB Cluster does not support InnoDB Cluster, which must be deployed using MySQL Server 8.0 with theInnoDB storage engine as well as additional applications that are not included in the NDB Cluster distribution. MySQL Server 8.0 binaries cannot be used with MySQL NDB Cluster. For more information about deploying and using InnoDB Cluster, seeMySQL AdminAPI.Section 25.2.6, “MySQL Server Using InnoDB Compared with NDB Cluster”, discusses differences between theNDB andInnoDB storage engines.
Supported Platforms. NDB Cluster is currently available and supported on a number of platforms. For exact levels of support available for on specific combinations of operating system versions, operating system distributions, and hardware platforms, please refer tohttps://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/cluster.html.
Availability. NDB Cluster binary and source packages are available for supported platforms fromhttps://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.
NDB Cluster release numbers. NDB 8.0 follows the same release pattern as the MySQL Server 8.0 series of releases, beginning with MySQL 8.0.13 and MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0.13. In thisManual and other MySQL documentation, we identify these and later NDB Cluster releases employing a version number that begins with“NDB”. This version number is that of theNDBCLUSTER storage engine used in the NDB 8.0 release, and is the same as the MySQL 8.0 server version on which the NDB Cluster 8.0 release is based.
Version strings used in NDB Cluster software. The version string displayed by themysql client supplied with the MySQL NDB Cluster distribution uses this format:
mysql-mysql_server_version-clustermysql_server_version represents the version of the MySQL Server on which the NDB Cluster release is based. For all NDB Cluster 8.0 releases, this is8.0., wherenn is the release number. Building from source using-DWITH_NDB or the equivalent adds the-cluster suffix to the version string. (SeeSection 25.3.1.4, “Building NDB Cluster from Source on Linux”, andSection 25.3.2.2, “Compiling and Installing NDB Cluster from Source on Windows”.) You can see this format used in themysql client, as shown here:
$> mysqlWelcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.Your MySQL connection id is 2Server version: 8.0.44-cluster Source distributionType 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.mysql> SELECT VERSION()\G*************************** 1. row ***************************VERSION(): 8.0.44-cluster1 row in set (0.00 sec)The first General Availability release of NDB Cluster using MySQL 8.0 is NDB 8.0.19, using MySQL 8.0.19.
The version string displayed by other NDB Cluster programs not normally included with the MySQL 8.0 distribution uses this format:
mysql-mysql_server_version ndb-ndb_engine_versionmysql_server_version represents the version of the MySQL Server on which the NDB Cluster release is based. For all NDB Cluster 8.0 releases, this is8.0., wherenn is the release number.ndb_engine_version is the version of theNDB storage engine used by this release of the NDB Cluster software. For all NDB 8.0 releases, this number is the same as the MySQL Server version. You can see this format used in the output of theSHOW command in thendb_mgm client, like this:
ndb_mgm> SHOWConnected to Management Server at: localhost:1186Cluster Configuration---------------------[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)id=1 @10.0.10.6 (mysql-8.0.44 ndb-8.0.44, Nodegroup: 0, *)id=2 @10.0.10.8 (mysql-8.0.44 ndb-8.0.44, Nodegroup: 0)[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)id=3 @10.0.10.2 (mysql-8.0.44 ndb-8.0.44)[mysqld(API)] 2 node(s)id=4 @10.0.10.10 (mysql-8.0.44 ndb-8.0.44)id=5 (not connected, accepting connect from any host)Compatibility with standard MySQL 8.0 releases. While many standard MySQL schemas and applications can work using NDB Cluster, it is also true that unmodified applications and database schemas may be slightly incompatible or have suboptimal performance when run using NDB Cluster (seeSection 25.2.7, “Known Limitations of NDB Cluster”). Most of these issues can be overcome, but this also means that you are very unlikely to be able to switch an existing application datastore—that currently uses, for example,MyISAM orInnoDB—to use theNDB storage engine without allowing for the possibility of changes in schemas, queries, and applications. Amysqld compiled withoutNDB support (that is, built without-DWITH_NDB or-DWITH_NDBCLUSTER_STORAGE_ENGINE) cannot function as a drop-in replacement for amysqld that is built with it.
NDB Cluster development source trees. NDB Cluster development trees can also be accessed fromhttps://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.
The NDB Cluster development sources maintained athttps://github.com/mysql/mysql-server are licensed under the GPL. For information about obtaining MySQL sources using Git and building them yourself, seeSection 2.8.5, “Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree”.
As with MySQL Server 8.0, NDB Cluster 8.0 releases are built usingCMake.
NDB Cluster 8.0 is available beginning with NDB 8.0.19 as a General Availability release, and is recommended for new deployments. NDB Cluster 7.6 and 7.5 are previous GA releases still supported in production; for information about NDB Cluster 7.6, seeWhat is New in NDB Cluster 7.6. For similar information about NDB Cluster 7.5, seeWhat is New in NDB Cluster 7.5. NDB Cluster 7.4 and 7.3 are previous GA releases which are no longer maintained. We recommend that new deployments for production use MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0.
