This looks quite similar as case reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtradb-cluster/+bug/1134892

I can confirm that this issue is a duplicate of the one linked above.

The problem happens when replicating a transaction which modifies tables with cascading foreign key constraints. Can you pinpoint which parent-child table pair were part of this crashing transaction? If so, please show the table definitions for inspection.

Also, attach your my.cnf

The revision used in this case is #3390 in mariadb-galera branch and is tagged with: mariadb-galera-5.5.29.
Corresponding upstream revision in wsrep-5.5-23 is: #3853

Hello. Attached is the schema for the transaction in question:

The transaction contains row-based DELETE statements on tables 1 and 3.

I'll grab the my.cnf file as soon as possible.

I was able to reproduce according to suggested scenario:

1. Start standard replication from MySQL master to first Galera node.
2. Command STOP SLAVE on the Galera node (slave).
3. Execute ALTER TABLE '3' ROW_FORMAT=compressed on the slave.
4. Command START SLAVE on the Galera node (slave)
=> Galera node (slave) crashes soon after

This happened with 5.5.29 release, but not anymore with 5.5.31 RC. I have a targeted fix for 5.5.29, which I probably merge for 5.5.31 during today.
