Issue #5993 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Needs Decision to Needs More Information

We definitely have people with much longer fields than this.

If you can provide a more complete solution showing that this really is the 
only problem stopping us using ndb clusters, then I think we'd be much more 
willing to expend effort sorting this out.

Feature #5993: Puppet on mysql NDB cluster
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5993

Author: Karl Pietri
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Low
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: stored configuration
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5
Keywords: 
Branch: 


The only minor issue for running puppet with its backend database on mysql ndb 
cluster is that the resources.title column is a text column and also part of an 
index which ndb forbids.  I believe this would be not a very hard problem to 
fix as after analyzing my database i noticed the max character length was only 
100, but i can see why the field was picked as a text column for longer 
resource (ie long path) names.  Perhaps there is a easy way to fix this one 
issue (perhaps at the expense of duplicating the column to a full one and a 
partial one) and be able to easily and safely use puppet on ndb.  Unfortunately 
i am not familiar with the actual puppet code (or very familiar with ruby at 
all), but i will be looking in to a way to patch this, so I thought I would 
open a feature request for it in case someone might be able to do it quickly or 
have ideas.

    Specific error:
    mysql> alter table resources engine=ndb;
    ERROR 1073 (42000): BLOB column 'title' can't be used in key specification 
with the used table type
