# This file contains wsrep-related mysqld options. It should be included
# in the main MySQL configuration file.
#
# Options that need to be customized:
# - wsrep_provider
# - wsrep_cluster_address
# - wsrep_sst_auth
# The rest of defaults should work out of the box.
##
## mysqld options _MANDATORY_ for correct opration of the cluster
##
[mysqld]
# (This must be substituted by wsrep_format)
binlog_format=ROW
# Currently only InnoDB storage engine is supported

# to avoid issues with 'bulk mode inserts' using autoinc

# Override bind-address
# In some systems bind-address defaults to 127.0.0.1, and with mysqldump SST
# it will have (most likely) disastrous consequences on donor node
