 Description   

We use MariaDB exclusively in Galera clusters. We do not enable MyISAM replication because it is not recommended.

We wish there were a way to prevent users from creating MyISAM tables, since there is no way to raise a warning that such tables are not replicated.

This is especially useful given that we've found a way for users to crash MariaDB if they have the ability to create/access MyISAM tables. This is the result of our investigation into CVE-2015-3210.

This is evidently possible, since there is a community provided plugin. We do not plan to use this plugin, as it is not intended for MariaDB.

It has already been implemented in MariaDB 10.1, see enforce_storage_engine option.

Duplicate of MDEV-6858.

D'oh! Thanks Elena. I never would have thought to search for "enforce storage engine."

We'll be looking forward for the 10.1 series to go GA!
