Make all system tables in mysql directory of type engine=Aria Privilege tables are using transactional=1 Statistical tables are using transactional=0, to allow them to be quickly updated with low overhead. Help tables are also using transactional=0 as these are only updated at init time. Other changes: - Aria store engine is now a required engine - Update comment for Aria tables to reflect their new usage - Fixed that _ma_reset_trn_for_table() removes unlocked table from transaction table list. This was needed to allow one to lock and unlock system tables separately from other tables, for example when reading a procedure from mysql.proc - Don't give a warning when using transactional=1 for engines that is using transactions. This is both logical and also to avoid warnings/errors when doing an alter of a privilege table to InnoDB. - Don't abort on warnings from ALTER TABLE for changes that would be accepted by CREATE TABLE. - New created Aria transactional tables are marked as not movable (as they include create_rename_lsn). - bootstrap.test was changed to kill orignal server, as one can't anymore have two servers started at same time on same data directory and data files. - Disable maria.small_blocksize as one can't anymore change aria block size after system tables are created. - Speed up creation of help tables by using lock tables. - wsrep_sst_resync now also copies Aria redo logs.

MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
