The next four sections provide summary tables of MySQL Cluster configuration parameters used in the config.ini
file to govern the cluster's functioning. Each table lists the parameters
for one of the Cluster node process types (ndbd, ndb_mgmd, and mysqld), and includes the parameter's type as well as its
default, minimum, and maximum values as applicable.
These tables also indicate what type of restart is required (node restart or system restart)—and whether the
restart must be done with --initial
—to change the value of a given configuration
parameter.
When performing a node restart or an initial node restart, all of the cluster's data nodes must be restarted in
turn (also referred to as a rolling restart). It is possible to update cluster
configuration parameters marked as node
online—that is, without shutting down the
cluster—in this fashion. An initial node restart requires restarting each ndbd process with the --initial
option.
A system restart requires a complete shutdown and restart of the entire cluster. An initial system restart requires taking a backup of the cluster, wiping the cluster file system after shutdown, and then restoring from the backup following the restart.
In any cluster restart, all of the cluster's management servers must be restarted for them to read the updated configuration parameter values.
Values for numeric cluster parameters can generally be increased without any problems, although it is advisable to do so progressively, making such adjustments in relatively small increments. Many of these can be increased online, using a rolling restart.
However, decreasing the values of such parameters—whether this is done using a node restart, node
initial restart, or even a complete system restart of the cluster—is not to be undertaken lightly; it is
recommended that you do so only after careful planning and testing. This is especially true with regard to
those parameters that relate to memory usage and disk space, such as MaxNoOfTables
, MaxNoOfOrderedIndexes
, and MaxNoOfUniqueHashIndexes
. In addition, it is the generally the case that
configuration parameters relating to memory and disk usage can be raised using a simple node restart, but
they require an initial node restart to be lowered.
Because some of these parameters can be used for configuring more than one type of cluster node, they may appear in more than one of the tables.
