The only documentation I found is the worklog.

Without docs at hand, I tried something:

slave1 [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > CHANGE MASTER TO master_gtid_pos='';

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'master_gtid_pos=''' at line 1

slave1 [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > CHANGE MASTER TO master_gtid_pos=auto;

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'master_gtid_pos=auto' at line 1

This is supposed to work, according to a blog post and some worklogs, but it doesn't.

As for GTID in practice, it seems to be active.

slave1 [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > show variables like '%gtid%';

+----------------+--------+

| Variable_name | Value |

+----------------+--------+

| gtid_domain_id | 0 |

| gtid_pos | 0-1-11 |

| gtid_seq_no | 0 |

+----------------+--------+

3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

slave1 [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > use mysql

Reading table information for completion of table and column names

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed

slave1 [localhost] {msandbox} (mysql) > select * from rpl_slave_state;

+-----------+--------+-----------+--------+

+-----------+--------+-----------+--------+

| 0 | 12 | 1 | 11 |

+-----------+--------+-----------+--------+

However, when I run "show slave status", I get:

Using_Gtid: 0

Could you provide a pointer to the docs of the expected behavior at this stage?

Thanks
