MySQL Bugs: #69566: auto_increment_increment is supported for use with NDB tables only?

Bug #69566	auto_increment_increment is supported for use with NDB tables only?
Submitted:	25 Jun 2013 8:39	Modified:	2 Jul 2013 15:06

Category:	MySQL Server: Documentation	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	>=5.5	OS:	Any

Description:
The 5.1 manual says 

  auto_increment_increment is supported for use with 
  NDB tables beginning with MySQL 5.1.20, MySQL Cluster 
  NDB 6.2.5, and MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3.2. 
  Previously, setting it when using MySQL Cluster tables 
  or MySQL Cluster Replication produced unpredictable results.

In the 5.5 version of the manual the note became this instead

  auto_increment_increment is supported for use with NDB tables only

which is of course not true

Looks as if something went wrong when removing the pre-5.5 version
info form that node for the 5.5 manual

How to repeat:
Check the note on

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-options-master.html#sysvar_auto_increme...

and 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-options-master.html#sysvar_auto_increme...

Suggested fix:
Remove the note completely in the 5.5 version of the manual. 
ndbcluster now supports auto_increment_increment in the same way as all other storage engines so no special note is needed anymore
