Prior to NDB 8.0.17, an  NDB  table dropped using this utility persisted in the MySQL data dictionary but could not be dropped using  DROP TABLE  in the  mysql  client. In NDB 8.0.17 and later, such “orphan” tables can be dropped using  DROP TABLE . (Bug #29125206, Bug #93672) ndb_error_reporter  creates an archive from data node and management node log files that can be used to help diagnose bugs or other problems with a cluster.  It is highly recommended that you make use of this utility when filing reports of bugs in NDB Cluster . Options that can be used with  ndb_error_reporter  are shown in the following table. Additional descriptions follow the table. This utility is intended for use on a management node host, and requires the path to the management host configuration file (usually named  config.ini ). Optionally, you can supply the name of a user that is able to access the cluster’s data nodes using SSH, to copy the data node log files.  ndb_error_reporter then includes all of these files in archive that is created in the same directory in which it is run. The archive is named  ndb_error_report_ YYYYMMDDhhmmss .tar.bz2 , where  YYYYMMDDhhmmss  is a datetime string.
