Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-innodb-cluster-working-with-production-deplo...

The documentation for InnoDB Cluster specifies that the "dba.dropMetaDataSchema()" method can be used in MySQL Shell to drop the cluster metadata. However, entering this into MySQL Shell produces the following message:

Invalid object member dropMetaDataSchema (AttributeError)

How to repeat:
Attempt to remove innodb cluster metadata using dba.dropMetaDataSchema() in MySQL Shell.

Suggested fix:
dba.dropMetaDataSchema() should remove the metadata as described in the documentation.

OR

References to dba.dropMetaDataSchema() should be removed from the documentation if this method is no longer available in the GA release.

OR

The documentation should be updated to reflect more specific instructions for using this method.

All the documentation references to 'dba.dropMetaDataSchema()' should be changed to 'dba.dropMetadataSchema()'.

The typos on the references to dba.dropMetadataSchema() are located, in the new version of the user guide, at:
