Hi.

There was need to use HandlerSosket in Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5. Unfortunately I not found information about plugin support in PXC 5.5. Does Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5 support HandlerSocket?

Hi,  
HandlerSocket should work the same way as with normal Percona Server. Did you try to install it as shown in the manual?
