CREATE LOGFILE GROUP

Syntax:
CREATE LOGFILE GROUP logfile_group
ADD UNDOFILE 'undo_file'
[INITIAL_SIZE [=] initial_size]
[UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE [=] undo_buffer_size]
[REDO_BUFFER_SIZE [=] redo_buffer_size]
[NODEGROUP [=] nodegroup_id]
[WAIT]
[COMMENT [=] 'string']
ENGINE [=] engine_name

This statement creates a new log file group named logfile_group having
a single UNDO file named 'undo_file'. A CREATE LOGFILE GROUP statement
has one and only one ADD UNDOFILE clause. For rules covering the naming
of log file groups, see
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/identifiers.html.

*Note*:

All NDB Cluster Disk Data objects share the same namespace. This means
that each Disk Data object must be uniquely named (and not merely each
Disk Data object of a given type). For example, you cannot have a
tablespace and a log file group with the same name, or a tablespace and
a data file with the same name.

There can be only one log file group per NDB Cluster instance at any
given time.

The optional INITIAL_SIZE parameter sets the UNDO file's initial size;
if not specified, it defaults to 128M (128 megabytes). The optional
UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE parameter sets the size used by the UNDO buffer for
the log file group; The default value for UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE is 8M (eight
megabytes); this value cannot exceed the amount of system memory
available. Both of these parameters are specified in bytes. You may
optionally follow either or both of these with a one-letter
abbreviation for an order of magnitude, similar to those used in
my.cnf. Generally, this is one of the letters M (for megabytes) or G
(for gigabytes).

Memory used for UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE comes from the global pool whose size
is determined by the value of the SharedGlobalMemory data node
configuration parameter. This includes any default value implied for
this option by the setting of the InitialLogFileGroup data node
configuration parameter.

The maximum permitted for UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE is 629145600 (600 MB).

On 32-bit systems, the maximum supported value for INITIAL_SIZE is
4294967296 (4 GB). (Bug #29186)

The minimum allowed value for INITIAL_SIZE is 1048576 (1 MB).

The ENGINE option determines the storage engine to be used by this log
file group, with engine_name being the name of the storage engine. In
MySQL 8.0, this must be NDB (or NDBCLUSTER). If ENGINE is not set,
MySQL tries to use the engine specified by the default_storage_engine
server system variable (formerly storage_engine
(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-system-variables.html#s
ysvar_storage_engine)). In any case, if the engine is not specified as
NDB or NDBCLUSTER, the CREATE LOGFILE GROUP statement appears to
succeed but actually fails to create the log file group, as shown here:

mysql> CREATE LOGFILE GROUP lg1
-> ADD UNDOFILE 'undo.dat' INITIAL_SIZE = 10M;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW WARNINGS;
+-------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+-------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Error | 1478 | Table storage engine 'InnoDB' does not support the create option 'TABLESPACE or LOGFILE GROUP' |
+-------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> DROP LOGFILE GROUP lg1 ENGINE = NDB;
ERROR 1529 (HY000): Failed to drop LOGFILE GROUP

mysql> CREATE LOGFILE GROUP lg1
-> ADD UNDOFILE 'undo.dat' INITIAL_SIZE = 10M
-> ENGINE = NDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.97 sec)

The fact that the CREATE LOGFILE GROUP statement does not actually
return an error when a non-NDB storage engine is named, but rather
appears to succeed, is a known issue which we hope to address in a
future release of NDB Cluster.

REDO_BUFFER_SIZE, NODEGROUP, WAIT, and COMMENT are parsed but ignored,
and so have no effect in MySQL 8.0. These options are intended for
future expansion.

When used with ENGINE [=] NDB, a log file group and associated UNDO log
file are created on each Cluster data node. You can verify that the
UNDO files were created and obtain information about them by querying
the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES table. For example:

mysql> SELECT LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME, LOGFILE_GROUP_NUMBER, EXTRA
-> FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
-> WHERE FILE_NAME = 'undo_10.dat';
+--------------------+----------------------+----------------+
| LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME | LOGFILE_GROUP_NUMBER | EXTRA |
+--------------------+----------------------+----------------+
| lg_3 | 11 | CLUSTER_NODE=3 |
| lg_3 | 11 | CLUSTER_NODE=4 |
+--------------------+----------------------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.06 sec)

CREATE LOGFILE GROUP is useful only with Disk Data storage for NDB
Cluster. See
