MariaDB 10.1.1: Galera support

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.

Galera cluster suffers with the similar problem.

Lets try to emulate this on a 2-node Galera cluster :

1) On node #1:
