 Description   

We should document how to safely disable InnoDB encryption in a Galera Cluster environment. It is not currently documented:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/data-at-rest-encryption/

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/galera-cluster/

I suspect that the process would go like this:

1.) Stop all nodes in the cluster except 1.

2.) Make sure that all Aria tables are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17268.

3.) Make sure that all InnoDB tables are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17269.

4.) Make sure that InnoDB redo logs are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17270.

5.) Make sure that binary logs are decrypted. Requires MDEV-17271.

6.) Uninstall key management plugins, if desired.

7.) Force other nodes to SST using a physical SST method, such as mariabackup, rsync, xtrabackup-v2.
