least one slave, those events are lost when a new master is chosen. If the old
master comes back online, the other servers have likely moved on with a
diverging history and the old master can no longer join the replication cluster.
To minimize the chance for this happening, use

Even a controlled shutdown of the master may lose events. The server does not by
default wait for all data to be replicated to the slaves when shutting down and
instead simply closes all connections. When shutting down the master with the
intention of having a slave promoted, run *switchover* first to ensure that all
data is replicated. For more information on server shutdown, see
[Binary Log Dump Threads and the Shutdown Process](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/replication-threads/#binary-log-dump-threads-and-the-shutdown-process).
Switchover requires that the cluster is "frozen" for the duration of the
operation. This means that no data modifying statements such as INSERT or UPDATE
