Introduction

Now that Galera Cluster 5.7 GA has been released, let’s take a look at some features in MySQL 5.7 that improve Galera performance or allow new workloads and applications to be Galera-enabled.

CREATE TABLE geometry_table (
    geometry_column GEOMETRY NOT NULL,
    SPATIAL INDEX(geometry_column)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
