  • Dynamic: Yes
  • Default: 16

gcs.fc_master_slave

gcs.fc_single_primary

  • Description: Defines whether there is more than one source of replication. As the number of nodes in the cluster grows, the larger the calculated gcs.fc_limit gets. At the same time, the number of writes from the nodes increases. When this parameter value is set to NO (multi-primary), the gcs.fc_limit parameter is dynamically modified to give more margin for each node to be a bit further behind applying writes. The gcs.fc_limit parameter is modified by the square root of the cluster size, that is, in a four-node cluster it is two times higher than the base value. This is done to compensate for the increasing replication rate noise.

  • Description: Fraction of gcs.recv_q_hard_limit after which replication rate is throttled. The rate of throttling increases linearly from zero (the regular, varying rate of replication) at and below csrecv_q_soft_limit to one (full throttling) at gcs.recv_q_hard_limit
  • Dynamic: No
  • Default: 0.25

gcs.sync_donor

Usually, you would place all nodes in the same datacenter in the same segment. Galera protocol traffic is only redirected to one node in each segment, and then relayed to other nodes in that same segment, which saves cross-datacenter network traffic at the expense of some extra latency. State transfers are also, preferably but not exclusively, taken from the same segment. If there are no nodes available in the same segment, state transfer will be taken from a node in another segment.
  • Dynamic: No
  • Default: 0
  • Range: 0 to 255

Note: If Galera 25.2.x and 25.3.x are both being used in the cluster, MariaDB with Galera 25.3.x must be started with wsrep_provider_options='socket.checksum=1' in order to make it backward compatible with Galera v2. Galera wsrep providers other than 25.3.x or 25.2.x are not supported.
  • Dynamic: No

Needs to be true on all nodes when wanting to enable or disable encryption via a rolling restart. As this can't be changed at runtime a rolling restart to enable or disable encryption may need three restarts per node in total: one to enable socket.dynamic on each node, one to change the actual encryption settings on each node, and a final round to change socket.dynamic back to false.
