MariaDB Galera Cluster is a synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB.
Features:
* Synchronous replication
* Active-active multi-master topology
* Read and write to any cluster node
* Automatic membership control, failed nodes drop from the cluster
* Automatic node joining
* True parallel replication, on row level
* Direct client connections, native MySQL look & feel
Benefits:
The above features yield several benefits for a DBMS clustering solution,
including:
* No slave lag
* No lost transactions
* Both read and write scalability
* Smaller client latencies
* Technology
MariaDB Galera Cluster uses the Galera library for the replication
implementation. To interface with Galera replication, we have enhanced MariaDB
to support the replication API definition in the wsrep API project.

* https://launchpad.net/wsrep
The implementation of the replication API in MariaDB happens in the open source
MySQL-wsrep project.
