You can configure any value you want on wsrep_provider_options, even values that don't exist or are not documented and PXC won't try to check it. That could cause confusion or even problems if there is some mistake on that parameter. Tested with latest 5.5 PXC:
wsrep_provider_options = "wathever=1"
| wsrep_provider_options | base_host = 10.0.2.15; base_port = 4567; cert.log_conflicts = no; evs.causal_keepalive_period = PT1S; evs.debug_log_mask = 0x1; evs.inactive_check_period = PT0.5S; evs.inactive_timeout = PT15S; evs.info_log_mask = 0; evs.install_timeout = PT15S; evs.join_retrans_period = PT1S; evs.keepalive_period = PT1S; evs.max_install_timeouts = 1; evs.send_window = 4; evs.stats_report_period = PT1M; evs.suspect_timeout = PT5S; evs.use_aggregate = true; evs.user_send_window = 2; evs.version = 0; evs.view_forget_timeout = PT5M; gcache.dir = /var/lib/mysql/; gcache.keep_pages_size = 0; gcache.mem_size = 0; gcache.name = /var/lib/mysql//galera.cache; gcache.page_size = 128M; gcache.size = 128M; gcs.fc_debug = 0; gcs.fc_factor = 1; gcs.fc_limit = 16; gcs.fc_master_slave = NO; gcs.max_packet_size = 64500; gcs.max_throttle = 0.25; gcs.recv_q_hard_limit = 9223372036854775807; gcs.recv_q_soft_limit = 0.25; gcs.sync_donor = NO; gmcast.listen_addr = tcp://0.0.0.0:4567; gmcast.mcast_addr = ; gmcast.mcast_ttl = 1; gmcast.peer_timeout = PT3S; gmcast.time_wait = PT5S; gmcast.version = 0; ist.recv_addr = 10.0.2.15; pc.checksum = false; pc.ignore_quorum = false; pc.ignore_sb = false; pc.linger = PT20S; pc.npvo = false; pc.version = 0; pc.weight = 1; protonet.backend = asio; protonet.version = 0; replicator.causal_read_timeout = PT30S; replicator.commit_order = 3; wathever = 1 |
