Description:
Compile with NDB. Now NDB should only work with ROW based format, but the default format is set to MIXED and can not be changed.

We  now have an engine flag to handle format, I believe this restriction is not only wrong, but just a historical element of early 5.1.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-formats-setting.html

How to repeat:
Compile with NDB, then trying setting:
mysql> SET SESSION binlog_format = 'STATEMENT';

Dare you!

Suggested fix:
Remove hardcoded approach to replication when NDB is installed.

Thank you for the report.

But this limitation does not exists in current sources. So I changed category of the report to "Documentation"

Documentation is the right way to go.

This situation has been documented as part of the documentation of engine-driven binary log setting.
