Aug 20, 2015 at 4:06 comment added Michael - sqlbot @tesla747 "master/master" is circular, as described above, though could refer to a ring of 2 or more masters, in a circle. Multi-master has been used to describe the same thing (circular/ring), but depending on context, it is likely to refer to fan-in replication, where one slave is a slave to two or more masters, and those masters are totally unaware of each other and have no conflicting schema+table identifiers among them, also called multi-source. MariaDB implemented this first, and now Oracle is trying to catch up, introducing it in MySQL 5.7.
Jul 26, 2015 at 8:13 comment added tesla747 what is the difference between master-master replication and multi-master replication?
Jul 19, 2015 at 17:57 comment added Michael - sqlbot @tesla747 you are correct.
Jul 19, 2015 at 14:52 comment added tesla747 Got it, so if I'm using InnoDB as the storage engine for my application, then I cannot go for NDB cluster right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Jul 19, 2015 at 14:21 comment added Michael - sqlbot NDB Cluster is synchronous, but it's its own different product, it's not "Standard MySQL behavior + Synchronous Replication" which is what PXC and MariaDB essentially provide, with Galera. There are arguments on both sides of the MariaDB/Percona preference debate, which are not on topic here, but I suggest that of those two is more likely to fit what you want than NDB, because unlike them, NDB is not a drop-in replacement for MySQL Server, and has a smaller set of applications and environments to which it is suited.
Jul 19, 2015 at 5:09 comment added tesla747 Brilliant Michael, some more info would clear my doubts. 1. Only Galera provides true sync replication? Isn't there 'synchronous' replication option with native MySQL NDB cluster? 2. And I would be going for 3 node active-active cluster what are the cons in MySQL Cluster (whichever version that is) that would want me to go for PXC?
