Bug #104099	Replication and max_allowed_packet documentation incomplete for 5.6 and 5.7
Submitted:	24 Jun 2021 8:53	Modified:	26 Aug 2021 23:04

Category:	MySQL Server: Documentation	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.6, 5.7	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	Jon Stephens	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
For some reason "Replication and max_allowed_packet" documentation page for 5.6 and 5.7, is much shorter then for 8.0, and misses some relevant things, like notes about slave_max_allowed_packet and slave_pending_jobs_size_max, which also do apply to those older versions.

How to repeat:
Compare:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-features-max-allowed-packet.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/replication-features-max-allowed-packet.html
with:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-features-max-allowed-packet.html

Suggested fix:
Complement the missing documentation parts.
