Revert "Revert "set innodb_file_per_table to ON for MySQL / Galera""
This reverts commit 3f7e74ab24bb43f9ad7e24e0efd4206ac6a3dd4e. After identifying how to workaround the performance issues on the undercloud, let's put this back in. Enabling innodb_file_per_table is important for operators to be able to better manage their databases. Change-Id: I435de381a0f0e3ef221e498f442335cdce3fb818 Depends-On: I77507c638237072e38d9888aff3da884aeff0b59 Closes-Bug: #1660722

+features:
+ - Enable innodb_file_per_table for MySQL/MariaDB databases
+upgrade:
+ - |
+ Newly created MySQL database tables will be stored in their own datafiles,
+ instead of in a single monolithic ibdata file.
+ - |
+ Existing MySQL database tables that are persisted within the monolithic
+ ibdata file will remain so unless the database is migrated as well.
+ - |
+ Migration of all current database tables out of the monolithic ibdata
+ file is possible by dumping and restoring the whole database to a new data
+ directory, however when using Galera the entire cluster must be shut
+ down and upgraded at once.
+ - |
+ Migration of individual tables to datafiles is possible using the
+ MySQL command "ALTER TABLE <databasename>.<tablename> ENGINE=InnoDB;",
+ however this will not shrink the ibdata file and also is not safe to run
+ on a running Galera cluster for large tables.
