Setting up galera arbitrator via the pxc operator

[Simeon_Zaharici]

Hey guys,

Is it possible to setup percona xtradb clusters with arbitrators using the pxc operator ? I would like to set this up in mysql 5.7 but did not find any related settings in the pxc-db helm chart values file.

Thanks

It does not look like this is something we support. Using the arbitrator, in a way, defeats the purpose of running in K8S. Having actual data nodes helps ensure high-availability. If you run 1 data node + 2 arbitrators, the loss of that 1 node means cluster is down.

We don’t support this any more. 5.7 is dead for 2+ years. Please use modern MySQL 8.0 or newer.
