For TOI events specifically we have a situation where in case of the same error different nodes may generate different messages. This may be for two reasons: - different locale setting between the current client session and server default (we can reasonably require server locales to be identical on all nodes, but user can change message locale for the session) - non-deterministic course of STATEMENT execution e.g. for ALTER TABLE On the other hand we may reasonably expect TOI event failures since they are executed after replication, so we must ensure that voting is consistent. For that purpose error codes should be sufficiently unique and deterministic for TOI event failures as DDLs normally deal with a single object, so we can merely use MySQL error codes to vote on. Notice that this problem does not happen with regular transactional writesets, since the originator node will always vote success and replica nodes are assumed to have the same global locale setting. As such different error messages indicate different errors even if the error code is the same (e.g. ER_DUP_KEY can happen on different rows tables). Use only MySQL error code (without the error message) for error voting in case of TOI event failure. Signed-off-by: Julius Goryavsky <julius.goryavsky@mariadb.com>

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
