MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0
This chapter provides information about MySQL
NDB Cluster, a
high-availability, high-redundancy version of MySQL adapted for the
distributed computing environment, using the
NDB storage engine (also known as
NDBCLUSTER) to enable running several
computers with MySQL servers and other software in a cluster. NDB
Cluster 8.0, now available as a General Availability (GA) release
(beginning with version 8.0.19), incorporates version 8.0 of the
NDB storage engine. This chapter also provides
information specific to NDB Cluster 8.0, and covers releases through
8.0.41. NDB Cluster 8.4 (NDB
8.4.5), based on version 8.4 of the NDB storage
engine, is also available as an LTS release. See
What is New in MySQL NDB Cluster 8.4 for
information about differences in NDB 8.4 as compared to earlier
releases. NDB Cluster 7.6 and NDB Cluster 7.5, still available as GA
releases, use versions 7.6 and 7.5 of NDB,
respectively. NDB Cluster 7.6 and 7.5 are previous GA releases still
supported in production; for information about NDB Cluster 7.6, see
What is New in NDB Cluster 7.6. For
similar information about NDB Cluster 7.5, see
What is New in NDB Cluster 7.5. Previous
GA releases NDB Cluster 7.4 and NDB Cluster 7.3 incorporated
NDB versions 7.4 and 7.3, respectively.
NDB 7.4 and older release series are no longer supported
or maintained. Both NDB 8.0 and NDB 8.4 are supported in
production, and are recommended for new deployments.
