22.5.5 Performing a Rolling Restart of an NDB Cluster
This section discusses how to perform a rolling restart of an NDB Cluster installation, so called because it involves stopping and starting (or restarting) each node in turn, so that the cluster itself remains operational. This is often done as part of a rolling upgrade or rolling downgrade, where high availability of the cluster is mandatory and no downtime of the cluster as a whole is permissible. Where we refer to upgrades, the information provided here also generally applies to downgrades as well.
There are a number of reasons why a rolling restart might be desirable. These are described in the next few paragraphs.
Configuration change. To make a change in the cluster's configuration, such as adding an SQL node to the cluster, or setting a configuration parameter to a new value.
NDB Cluster software upgrade or downgrade. To upgrade the cluster to a newer version of the NDB Cluster software (or to downgrade it to an older version). This is usually referred to as a “rolling upgrade” (or “rolling downgrade”, when reverting to an older version of NDB Cluster).
Change on node host. To make changes in the hardware or operating system on which one or more NDB Cluster node processes are running.
System reset (cluster reset). To reset the cluster because it has reached an undesirable state. In such cases it is often desirable to reload the data and metadata of one or more data nodes. This can be done in any of three ways:
Start each data node process (ndbd or possibly ndbmtd) with the
--initial
option, which forces the data node to clear its file system and to reload all NDB Cluster data and metadata from the other data nodes.Create a backup using the ndb_mgm client
START BACKUP
command prior to performing the restart. Following the upgrade, restore the node or nodes using ndb_restore.See Section 22.5.3, “Online Backup of NDB Cluster”, and Section 22.4.23, “ndb_restore — Restore an NDB Cluster Backup”, for more information.
Use mysqldump to create a backup prior to the upgrade; afterward, restore the dump using
LOAD DATA
.
Resource Recovery.
To free memory previously allocated to a table by successive
INSERT
and
DELETE
operations, for re-use by
other NDB Cluster tables.
The process for performing a rolling restart may be generalized as follows:
Stop all cluster management nodes (ndb_mgmd processes), reconfigure them, then restart them. (See Rolling restarts with multiple management servers.)
Stop, reconfigure, then restart each cluster data node (ndbd process) in turn.
Some node configuration parameters can be updated by issuing
RESTART
for each of the data nodes in the ndb_mgm client following the previous step; others require that the data node be stopped completely using a shell command (such as kill on most Unix systems) or the management clientSTOP
command, then started again from a system shell by invoking the ndbd or ndbmtd executable as appropriate.NoteOn Windows, you can also use SC STOP and SC START commands,
NET STOP
andNET START
commands, or the Windows Service Manager to stop and start nodes which have been installed as Windows services (see Section 22.2.3.4, “Installing NDB Cluster Processes as Windows Services”).The type of restart required is indicated in the documentation for each node configuration parameter. See Section 22.3.3, “NDB Cluster Configuration Files”.
Stop, reconfigure, then restart each cluster SQL node (mysqld process) in turn.
NDB Cluster supports a somewhat flexible order for upgrading nodes. When upgrading an NDB Cluster, you may upgrade API nodes (including SQL nodes) before upgrading the management nodes, data nodes, or both. In other words, you are permitted to upgrade the API and SQL nodes in any order. This is subject to the following provisions:
This functionality is intended for use as part of an online upgrade only. A mix of node binaries from different NDB Cluster releases is neither intended nor supported for continuous, long-term use in a production setting.
All management nodes must be upgraded before any data nodes are upgraded. This remains true regardless of the order in which you upgrade the cluster's API and SQL nodes.
Features specific to the “new” version must not be used until all management nodes and data nodes have been upgraded.
This also applies to any MySQL Server version change that may apply, in addition to the NDB engine version change, so do not forget to take this into account when planning the upgrade. (This is true for online upgrades of NDB Cluster in general.)
See also Bug #48528 and Bug #49163.
It is not possible for any API node to perform schema operations (such as data definition statements) during a node restart.
Rolling restarts with multiple management servers. When performing a rolling restart of an NDB Cluster with multiple management nodes, you should keep in mind that ndb_mgmd checks to see if any other management node is running, and, if so, tries to use that node's configuration data. To keep this from occurring, and to force ndb_mgmd to reread its configuration file, perform the following steps:
Stop all NDB Cluster ndb_mgmd processes.
Update all
config.ini
files.Start a single ndb_mgmd with
--reload
,--initial
, or both options as desired.If you started the first ndb_mgmd with the
--initial
option, you must also start any remaining ndb_mgmd processes using--initial
.Regardless of any other options used when starting the first ndb_mgmd, you should not start any remaining ndb_mgmd processes after the first one using
--reload
.Complete the rolling restarts of the data nodes and API nodes as normal.
When performing a rolling restart to update the cluster's
configuration, you can use the
config_generation
column of the
ndbinfo.nodes
table to keep
track of which data nodes have been successfully restarted with
the new configuration. See
Section 22.5.10.28, “The ndbinfo nodes Table”.
