Description:
Without any known reason half of the data nodes crash with:

2009-08-24 16:55:52 [MgmSrvr] ALERT -- Node 3: Forced node shutdown completed
. Caused by error 2341: 'Internal program error (failed ndbrequire)(Internal err
or, programming error or missing error message, please report a bug). Temporary
error, restart node'.

and the other half dies with:
2009-08-24 16:55:55 [MgmSrvr] ALERT -- Node 6: Forced node shutdown completed
. Caused by error 2305: 'Node lost connection to other nodes and can not form a
unpartitioned cluster, please investigate if there are error(s) on other node(s)
(Arbitration error). Temporary error, restart node'.

The datanode log show:

20G data memory
2G index memory

Looks like ndbmtd reaches the LongMessageBuffer limit faster then ndbd, so incresing LongMessageBuffer from default 4M to 8M or more should solve the problem.

Test case:
Need minimum 2xndbmtd, 1xmysqld (with 4 [mysqld] sections in config.ini)

config.ini:
LongMessageBuffer=512K
MaxNoOfExecutionThreads=4

my.cnf:
ndb-cluster-connection-pool=4
log-bin

shell> mysqlslap -uroot --auto-generate-sql -endb -c4 -x4 --number-of-queries=10000 --commit=10

So the problem is *with* replication and ndbtmd
In ndbd, the commit triggers fire and puts data directly into SUMA buffer
But with ndbmtd, LQH(s) and SUMA runs in different threads, so this is not possible, therefor the LongMessageBuffer is used to pass the data.

But that resource can be exhausted, causing the crash.
In ndbd 
1) it's has it's own memory manager (using DataMemory)
2) if that is exhauseted, it's handled "gracefully"
   (datanodes stay alive, but replication gets GAP event)

---

So a solution, will have to
1) use a different memory pool to pass data between LQH/SUMA (based on DM)
2) handle out of memory gracefully

Yes, without log-bin I hit bug#48441 instead (until that was fixed).  It was very easy to hit this bug once log-bin was turned on.

Note that the error message for this is now changing to:

Status: Permanent error, external action needed
Message: Signal lost, out of long signal memory, please increase LongMessageBuffer (Resource configuration error)
Error: 2351
Error data: Out of LongMessageBuffer in sendSignal

      ndb - bug#46914 - pass replication data from TUP to SUMA in datamemory rather than in longmessagebuffer
[18 Feb 2010 6:38] Jonas Oreland
pushed to 7.0.13 and 7.1.2
[18 Feb 2010 8:45] Jon Stephens
Documented bugfix in the NDB-7.0.13 and 7.1.2 changelogs as follows:

      Replication of a MySQL Cluster using multi-threaded data nodes 
      could fail with forced shutdowns of some data nodes due to the 
      fact that ndbmtd exhausted the LongMessageBuffer much more quickly 
      than ndbd. After this fix, passing of replication data between the 
      DBTUP and SUMA NDB kernel blocks is done using DataMemory rather 
      than LongMessageBuffer.

      Until you can upgrade, you may be able to work around this issue 
      by increasing the LongMessageBuffer setting; doubling the default 
      value should be sufficient in most cases.

Also noted this issue and workaround in the LongMessageBuffer description in the Manual.

Closed.
