Slove MySQL Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

Recently, a MySQL server I manage has shut down abnormally. I find some information in error log Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

The FEDERATED storage engine is available beginning with MySQL 5.0.3. It is a storage engine that accesses data in tables of remote databases rather than in local tables.

The FEDERATED storage engine is available beginning with MySQL 5.0.3. This storage engine enables data to be accessed from a remote MySQL database on a local server without using replication or cluster technology. When using a FEDERATED table, queries on the local server are automatically executed on the remote (federated) tables. No data is stored on the local tables.

We can find more information about the FEDERATED storage engine from MySQL Official.

# cat /var/log/mysql/error.log

141104  4:53:28 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
141104  4:53:28 InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins

After the time mysqld will be stop, this also is due that the FEDERATED storage engine is disabled.

Use SHOW PLUGINS command, we can confirm that the FEDERATED storage engine is disabled.
