| | ~~Aurora Stale DNS Plugin~~ | `auroraStaleDns` | Aurora | **Deprecated**. Use `initialConnection` plugin instead. <br><br> Prevents incorrectly opening a new connection to an old writer node when DNS records have not yet updated after a recent failover event. <br><br> :warning:**Note:** Contrary to `failover` plugin, `auroraStaleDns` plugin doesn't implement failover support itself. It helps to eliminate opening wrong connections to an old writer node after cluster failover is completed. <br><br> :warning:**Note:** This logic is already included in `failover` plugin so you can omit using both plugins at the same time. | None | |
