Index of wsrep_provider options

The following variables can be set and checked in the wsrep_provider_options variable. The value of the variable can be changed in the MySQL configuration file, my.cnf, or by setting the variable value in the MySQL client.

To change the value in my.cnf, the following syntax should be used:

$ wsrep_provider_options="variable1=value1;[variable2=value2]"

For example to set the size of the Galera buffer storage to 512 MB, specify the following in my.cnf:

$ wsrep_provider_options="gcache.size=512M"

Dynamic variables can be changed from the MySQL client using the SET GLOBAL command. For example, to change the value of the pc.ignore_sb, use the following command:

mysql> SET GLOBAL wsrep_provider_options="pc.ignore_sb=true";

The gcache.freeze_purge_at_seqno variable takes three values:

-1 (default)

No freezing of gcache, the purge operates as normal.

A valid seqno in gcache

The freeze purge of write-sets may not be smaller than the selected seqno. The best way to select an optimal value is to use the value of the variable :variable:wsrep_last_applied from the node that you plan to shut down.

now The freeze purge of write-sets is no less than the smallest seqno currently in gcache. Using this value results in freezing the gcache-purge instantly. Use this value if selecting a valid seqno in gcache is difficult.

gcache.keep_pages_count

Option	Description
Command Line:	Yes
Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Local, Global
Dynamic:	Yes
Default Value:	0

This variable is used to limit the number of overflow pages rather than the total memory occupied by all overflow pages. Whenever gcache.keep_pages_count is set to a non-zero value, excess overflow pages will be deleted (starting from the oldest to the newest).

Whenever either the gcache.keep_pages_count or the gcache.keep_pages_size variable is updated at runtime to a non-zero value, cleanup is called on excess overflow pages to delete them.

gcache.keep_pages_size

Option	Description
Command Line:	Yes
Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Local, Global
Dynamic:	No
Default Value:	0

This variable is used to limit the total size of overflow pages rather than the count of all overflow pages. Whenever gcache.keep_pages_size is set to a non-zero value, excess overflow pages will be deleted (starting from the oldest to the newest) until the total size is below the specified value.

Whenever either the gcache.keep_pages_count or the gcache.keep_pages_size variable is updated at runtime to a non-zero value, cleanup is called on excess overflow pages to delete them.

gcache.recover

Option	Description
Command line:	No
Configuration file:	Yes
Scope:	Global
Dynamic:	No
Default value:	No

Attempts to recover a node’s gcache file to a usable state on startup. If the node can successfully recover the gcache file, the node can provide IST to the remaining nodes. This ability can reduce the time needed to bring up the cluster.

An example of enabling the variable in the configuration file:

wsrep_provider_options="gcache.recover=yes"

gcache.size

Option	Description
Command Line:	Yes
Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Global
Dynamic:	No
Default Value:	128M

Size of the transaction cache for Galera replication. This defines the size of the galera.cache file which is used as source for IST. The bigger the value of this variable, the better are chances that the re-joining node will get IST instead of SST.

gcomm.thread_prio

Using this option, you can raise the priority of the gcomm thread to a higher level than it normally uses.

The format for this variable is: <policy>:<priority>. The priority value is an integer.

other

Default time-sharing scheduling in Linux. The threads can run
until blocked by an I/O request or preempted by higher priorities or
superior scheduling designations.

fifo

First-in First-out (FIFO) scheduling. These threads always immediately
preempt any currently running other, batch or idle threads. They can run
until they are either blocked by an I/O request or preempted by a FIFO thread
of a higher priority.

rr

Round-robin scheduling. These threads always preempt any currently running
other, batch or idle threads. The scheduler allows these threads to run for a
fixed period of a time. If the thread is still running when this time period is
exceeded, they are stopped and moved to the end of the list, allowing another
round-robin thread of the same priority to run in their place. They can
otherwise continue to run until they are blocked by an I/O request or are
preempted by threads of a higher priority.

Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Global
Dynamic:	No
Default Value:	FALSE

pc.bootstrap is a configuration option that instructs a node to become the initial starting point for a new cluster or rejoin an existing one as the primary component (PC). You can only set this option in the configuration file.

wsrep_provider_options="pc.bootstrap=TRUE"

You can use pc.bootstrap in the following:

Action	Description
Bootstrap a New Cluster	When setting up a new Galera cluster, designate one node as the bootstrap node by setting pc.bootstrap=YES on that node. This allows the node to initialize the cluster and become the primary component. Other nodes can then discover and join this primary node.
Rejoining a Cluster (Use with Caution)	If a Galera node needs to rejoin the cluster as the primary component (for example, after a disconnect or restart), you can use pc.bootstrap=TRUE. This is generally not recommended as it can lead to data loss if other cluster nodes made changes while the bootstrapping node was offline.

By default, pc.bootstrap is disabled (FALSE).

pc.checksum

Option	Description
Command Line:	Yes
Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Global
Dynamic:	No

Option	Description
Command Line:	Yes
Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Global
Dynamic:	Yes
Default Value:	false

When this variable is set to TRUE, the node will process updates even in the case of a split brain. This should be used with extreme caution in multi-source setup, but should simplify things in source-replica cluster (especially if only 2 nodes are used).

pc.linger

pc.recovery

Option	Description
Command Line:	Yes
Config File:	Yes
Scope:	Global
Dynamic:	No
Default Value:	true

When this variable is set to true, the node stores the Primary Component state to disk. The Primary Component can then recover automatically when all nodes that were part of the last saved state re-establish communication with each other. This feature allows automatic recovery from full cluster crashes, such as in the case of a data center power outage. A subsequent graceful full cluster restart will require explicit bootstrapping for a new Primary Component.

pc.version
