Description:
While evaluating the Archive storage engine.
I noticed that on both

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/archive-storage-engine.html
and 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/archive-storage-engine.html

at the top it says "Locking granularity => Table"

while below it says "The ARCHIVE engine uses row-level locking."

we would need to know which is correct.

thanks

How to repeat:
open up the documentation, and read on

that page also says archive doesn't support REPLACE, but it does, at least on 5.5.28.

Row-level locking.
REPLACE is supported.
