Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6Percona announces the release of Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7.22-29.26 (PXC) on June 29, 2018. Binaries are available from the downloads section or our software repositories.

Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7.22-29.26 is now the current release, based on the following:

Deprecated

The following variables are deprecated starting from this release:

  • wsrep-force-binlog-format
  • wsrep_sst_method = mysqldump

As long as the use of binlog_format=ROW is enforced in 5.7, wsrep_forced_binlog_format variable is much less significant. The same is related to mysqldump, as xtrabackup is now the recommended SST method.

New features

  • PXC-907: New variable wsrep_RSU_commit_timeout allows to configure RSU wait for active commit connection timeout (in microseconds).
  • Percona XtraDB Cluster now supports the keyring_vault plugin, which allows to store the master key in a vault server.
  • Percona XtraDB Cluster  5.7.22 depends on Percona XtraBackup  2.4.12 in order to fully support vault plugin functionality.

Fixed Bugs

  • PXC-2127: Percona XtraDB Cluster shutdown process hung if thread_handling option was set to pool-of-threads due to a regression in  5.7.21.
  • PXC-2128: Duplicated auto-increment values were set for the concurrent sessions on cluster reconfiguration due to the erroneous readjustment.
  • PXC-2059: Error message about the necessity of the SUPER privilege appearing in case of the CREATE TRIGGER statements fail due to enabled WSREP was made more clear.
  • PXC-2061: Wrong values could be read, depending on timing, when read causality was enforced with wsrep_sync_wait=1, because of waiting on the commit monitor to be flushed instead of waiting on the apply monitor.
  • PXC-2073: CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement was not replicated in case if result set was empty.
  • PXC-2087: Cluster was entering the deadlock state if table had an unique key and INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statement was executed.
  • PXC-2091: Check for the maximum number of rows, that can be replicated as a part of a single transaction because of the Galera limit, was enforced even when replication was disabled with wsrep_on=OFF.
  • PXC-2103: Interruption of the local running transaction in a COMMIT state by a replicated background transaction while waiting for the binlog backup protection caused the commit fail and, eventually, an assert in Galera.
  • PXC-2130: Percona XtraDB Cluster failed to build with Python 3.
  • PXC-2142: Replacing Percona Server with Percona XtraDB Cluster on CentOS 7 with the yum swap command produced a broken symlink in place of the /etc/my.cnf configuration file.
  • PXC-2154: rsync SST is now aborted with error message if used onnode with keyring_vault plugin configured, because it doesn’t support  keyring_vault. Also Percona doesn’t recommend using rsync-based SST for data-at-rest encryption with keyring.
  •  PXB-1544: xtrabackup --copy-back didn’t read which encryption plugin to use from plugin-load setting of the my.cnf configuration file.
  •  PXB-1540: Meeting a zero sized keyring file, Percona XtraBackup was removing and immediately recreating it, and this could affect external software noticing the file had undergo some manipulations.

Other bugs fixed:

PXC-2072 “flush table <table> for export should be blocked with mode=ENFORCING”.
