Documentation

One manual, written by building a cluster and then tested by wiping the machines and building another one from nothing following only what it says.

The user guide

122 pages. Thirty eight chapters and five appendices: the ideas, installing, adding machines, every screen, the tunnel, sizing, security, and a troubleshooting chapter that names the failures rather than describing them in general.

It ships with the source, in docs/MySQL_Cluster.docx.

The README

A shorter tour in the repository: what it does, how the parts fit together with diagrams, running one node, adding a node, retiring one, and what is deliberately not built.

What is in the manual

Understanding it

  • Synchronous replication, and what it costs
  • Quorum, and why three machines
  • State transfer
  • The manager and the agent

Running it

  • Installing, machine by machine
  • Every screen, field by field
  • A worked example: an application on the cluster
  • Moving an existing database on
  • Routine maintenance

When it goes wrong

  • Locked out of the interface
  • A node serving its own cluster
  • The whole cluster refusing writes
  • Deadlocks that are certification conflicts
  • Every command, in one appendix
