  1. for the first problem: I am wondering how you could get the server to start with binlog_format != ROW.

pxc1 --binlog_format=MIXED

  1. MIXED format is not safe to use since it keep on switching between STATEMENT AND ROW. PXC needs ROW based logging to ensure the ordering.
    The said piece of documentation needs to be updated but we strongly recommend not to overwrite the mode to avoid the problem like the one you faced before.
