- - About MariaDB Galera Cluster  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

MariaDB Galera Cluster is made for today's cloud based environments. It
is fully read-write scalable, comes with synchronous replication,
allows multi-master topologies, and guarantees no lag or lost
transactions. Some of its features & benefits are listed below.

  Features

    * Synchronous replication
    * Active-active multi-master topology
    * Read and write to any cluster node
    * Automatic membership control, with failed nodes dropped from the
      cluster
    * Automatic node joining
    * True row-level parallel replication
    * Direct client connections, native MariaDB/MySQL look &
      feel

  Benefits

    The above features yield several benefits for a database clustering
    solution, including:

    * No slave lag
    * No lost transactions
    * Both read and write scalability
    * Smaller client latencies

  Technology

    MariaDB Galera Cluster uses the Galera Library for the replication
    implementation. http://codership.com/products/galera_replication

    To interface with Galera replication, we have enhanced MariaDB to
    support the replication API definition in the Write Set
    REPlication (https://launchpad.net/wsrep) project. The
    implementation of the replication API in MariaDB happens in the
    open source MySQL-wsrep project.
