--ndb-shm is not really supported i suggest we remove it, until we get shm *really* supported E1: if only removing it from mysqld (E2 if removing it from configure aswell) R1: no risk

I've removed --ndb-shm from the documentation. I'd still like to see it removed from the code as well (unless we plan to enable it sometime relatively soon).

The only place where --ndb-shm currently has any effect is in ndb_mgmd when it's generating the config, it will "magically" use SHM connection instead of TCP connection if the hostname of two nodes are the same. 1) It should be removed from all programs except ndb_mgmd since it has no effect unless the ndb_mgmd was started with --ndb-shm. 2) This is an experimental feature which is not working -> remove it completely.

The configure part will be left as is. There is no switch for --ndb-shm to configure, instead it will simply autodetect if all the necessary functions for necessary for the SHM transporter is available and in such a case build it.

Option already removed from the documentation, no changelog entry needed. Closed.
Description: From sql/mysqld.cc: {"ndb-shm", OPT_NDB_SHM, "Use shared memory connections when available.", (uchar**) &opt_ndb_shm, (uchar**) &opt_ndb_shm, 0, GET_BOOL, OPT_ARG, OPT_NDB_SHM_DEFAULT, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, You can set this server option, but doing so does not set any server variables or status variables. How to repeat: Start MySQL server with option (any of the following): > ./mysqld_safe --ndbcluster --ndb-connectstring=127.0.0.1 --ndb-shm & > ./mysqld_safe --ndbcluster --ndb-connectstring=127.0.0.1 --ndb-shm=1 & > ./mysqld_safe --ndbcluster --ndb-connectstring=127.0.0.1 --ndb-shm=0 & Start client, run SHOW VARIABLES/SHOW STATUS: > ./mysql -uroot mysql> show variables like '%ndb%'; mysql> show status like '%ndb%'; mysql> show global status like '%ndb%'; mysql> show variables like '%shm%'; mysql> show status like '%shm%'; mysql> show global status like '%shm%'; Observe output: no ndb_shm, Ndb_shm, etc. mysql> SELECT @@ndb_shm; ERROR 1193 (HY000): Unknown system variable 'ndb_shm' Suggested fix: Set Ndb_shm and make it show up in SHOW VARIABLES or SHOW STATUS as appropriate.
