Hi,

The following information is important to all MySQL Cluster 5.1 users, and especially to those using MySQL Cluster Replication.

It was not included in the 5.1.14 release announcement, so I'm quoting the relevant update to the 5.1.14 changelog ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-14.html ) here:

[begin]

Two major changes have taken place with regard to the MySQL Cluster system tables. These are:

1. Incompatible change: The cluster database is no longer used. The tables formerly found in the cluster database are now in the mysql database, and have been renamed as ndb_binlog_index, ndb_apply_status, and ndb_schema.

2. The mysql.ndb_apply_status and mysql.ndb_schema tables (formerly cluster.apply_status and cluster.schema are now created by ndb_restore in the event that they do not already exist on the slave cluster. (Bug#14612: http://bugs.mysql.com/14612)

Note: When upgrading from versions of MySQL previous to 5.1.14 to 5.1.14 or later, mysql_fix_privilege_tables merely creates a new mysql.ndb_binlog_index table, but does not remove the existing cluster database (or, if upgrading from MySQL 5.1.7 or earlier, the existing cluster_replication database), nor any of the tables in it.

For more information, see Section 15.10.4, “Replication Schema and Tables”: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-replication-schema.html

[end]

The fact that news of this non-trivial change for MySQL Cluster 5.1 did not make it into the official 5.1.14 release announcement is entirely my fault, and I hope you will accept my deepest apologies for the omission.

cheers,

j.
