-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-is a multi\-threaded version of
-\fBndbd\fR, the process that is used to handle all the data in tables using the
-NDBCLUSTER
-storage engine\&.
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-is intended for use on host computers having multiple CPU cores\&. Except where otherwise noted,
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-functions in the same way as
-\fBndbd\fR; therefore, in this section, we concentrate on the ways in which
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-differs from
-\fBndbd\fR, and you should consult
-\fBndbd\fR(8), for additional information about running MySQL Cluster data nodes that apply to both the single\-threaded and multi\-threaded versions of the data node process\&.
-.PP
-Command\-line options and configuration parameters used with
-\fBndbd\fR
-also apply to
-\fBndbmtd\fR\&. For more information about these options and parameters, see
-\fBndbd\fR(8), and
-Section\ \&17.3.2.6, \(lqDefining MySQL Cluster Data Nodes\(rq, respectively\&.
-.PP
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-is also file system\-compatible with
-\fBndbd\fR\&. In other words, a data node running
-\fBndbd\fR
-can be stopped, the binary replaced with
-\fBndbmtd\fR, and then restarted without any loss of data\&. (However, when doing this, you must make sure that
-MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
-is set to an apppriate value before restarting the node if you wish for
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-to run in multi\-threaded fashion\&.) Similarly, an
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-binary can be replaced with
-\fBndbd\fR
-simply by stopping the node and then starting
-\fBndbd\fR
-in place of the multi\-threaded binary\&. It is not necessary when switching between the two to start the data node binary using
-\fB\-\-initial\fR\&.
-.PP
-Prior to MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0\&.6, there were known issues when using
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-with MySQL Cluster Disk Data tables\&. If you wish to use multi\-threaded data nodes with disk\-based
-NDB
-tables, you should ensure that you are running MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0\&.6 or later\&. (\m[blue]\fBBug#41915\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2,

-\fBNumber of execution threads\fR. The

-In MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.4\&.0, it is not possible to set

-.PP
-In MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.4\&.0 through 6\&.4\&.3, the default value for this parameter was undefined, although the default behavior for
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-was to use 1 LQH thread, as though
-MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
-had been set to 2\&. Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0\&.4, this parameter has an explcit default value of 2, thus guaranteeing this default behavior\&.
-.PP
-In MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0, it is not possible to cause
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-to use more than 1 TC thread, although we plan to introduce this capability in a future MySQL Cluster release series\&.
-.\" MySQL Cluster: log files
-.\" log files (MySQL Cluster): ndbmtd
-.\" ndbmtd: trace files
-.PP
-Like
-\fBndbd\fR,
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-generates a set of log files which are placed in the directory specified by
-DataDir
-in the
-config\&.ini
-configuration file\&. Except for trace files, these are generated in the same way and have the same names as those generated by
-\fBndbd\fR\&.
-.PP
-In the event of a critical error,
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-generates trace files describing what happened just prior to the error\' occurrence\&. These files, which can be found in the data node\'s
-DataDir, are useful for analysis of problems by the MySQL Cluster Development and Support teams\&. One trace file is generated for each
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-thread\&. The names of these files follow the pattern
-ndb_\fInode_id\fR_trace\&.log\&.\fItrace_id\fR_t\fIthread_id\fR, where
-\fInode_id\fR
-is the data node\'s unique node ID in the cluster,
-\fItrace_id\fR
-is a trace sequence number, and
-\fIthread_id\fR
-is the thread ID\&. For example, in the event of the failure of an
-\fBndbmtd\fR
-process running as a MySQL Cluster data node having the node ID 3 and with
-MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
-equal to 4, four trace files are generated in the data node\'s data directory; if the is the first time this node has failed, then these files are named
-ndb_3_trace\&.log\&.1_t1,
-ndb_3_trace\&.log\&.1_t2,
-ndb_3_trace\&.log\&.1_t3, and
-ndb_3_trace\&.log\&.1_t4\&. Internally, these trace files follow the same format as
-\fBndbd\fR
-trace files\&.
-.PP
-The
-\fBndbd\fR
-exit codes and messages that are generated when a data node process shuts down prematurely are also used by
-\fBndbmtd\fR\&. See
-\m[blue]\fBndbd Error Messages\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2, for a listing of these\&.

-It is possible to use

-\fBndbmtd\fR
-concurrently on different data nodes in the same MySQL Cluster\&. However, such configurations have not been tested extensively; thus, we cannot not recommend doing so in a production setting at this time\&.
