MariaDB Galera server logs all the cluster related information like node status, cluster status, membership, etc. in the error log. MariaDB 10.1.2 introduces a new INFORMATION SCHEMA plugin WSREP_INFO that enables querying these information via INFORMATION SCHEMA tables. The WSREP_INFO plugin adds two new tables to the Information Schema, WSREP_MEMBERSHIP and WSREP_STATUS. The plugin is not enabled by default, so in order to use it, it needs to be installed first :
MariaDB [test]> INSTALL SONAME ‘wsrep_status’;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)
MariaDB [test]> SHOW PLUGINS;

MariaDB 10.1 server is now “Galera ready” with the latest 10.1.1 release. It includes wsrep (write set replication) patch that enables server to load the wsrep provider (galera) library and interact with it to provide multi-master synchronous replication support. The patch implements hooks inside server and storage engines to populate and apply the write sets on sender and receiver nodes in a cluster respectively. The wsrep patch also adds a number of system and status variables (prefixed with wsrep) that can be used to configure and monitor the server acting as a node in Galera cluster.

Lets start by considering a scenario where records are being inserted in a single auto-increment table via different nodes of a multi-master cluster. One issue that might arise is ‘collision’ of generated auto-increment values on different nodes, which is precisely the subject of this article.
As the cluster is multi-master, it allows writes on all master nodes. As a result of which a table might get same auto-incremented values on different nodes on INSERTs. This issue is discovered only after the writeset is replicated and that’s a problem!
Galera cluster suffers with the similar problem.
Lets try to emulate this on a 2-node Galera cluster :
1) On node #1:
MariaDB [test]> …
