MariaDB/Galera is synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB/InnoDB database, having features like:
- Synchronous replication
- Active-active multi-master topology
- Read and write to any cluster node
- Automatic membership control, failed nodes drop from the cluster
- Automatic node joining
- True parallel replication, on row level
- Direct client connections, native MySQL look & feel
For more details, see the galera pages.
The MariaDB project is now focused on also shipping the MariaDB Galera Cluster in partnership with Codership. The code is available here: https://code.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/maria-5.5-galera
This is considered Alpha quality at the moment. That said, Galera is in active use by several users with good results.
