On pt-online-schema-change documentation, the interpretation of --tries create_triggers:5:0.5,drop_triggers:5:0.5 is wrong

[Jaime Sicam]

Check http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/2.2/pt-online-schema-change.html

Under --tries option:

To change the defaults, specify the new values like:

--tries create_triggers:5:0.5,drop_triggers:5:0.5
That makes the tool try create_triggers and drop_triggers 2 times with a 0.5 second wait between tries.

Based on example, it should be:
That makes the tool try create_triggers and drop_triggers 5 times with a 0.5 second wait between tries.

[Nilnandan Joshi (nilnandan-joshi)]

Verified. As per the documentation, syntax should be

-tries operation:tries:wait [,operation:tries:wait] and given example is
-tries create_triggers:5:0.5, drop_triggers:5:0.5

But in the explanation, That makes the tool try create_triggers and drop_triggers 2 times with a 0.5 second wait between tries.

It should be "That makes the tool try create_triggers and drop_triggers 5 times with a 0.5 second wait between tries"
