The name to use for the relay log index file. The default name is
the data directory, where
Due to the manner in which MySQL parses server options, if you specify this option, you must supply
a value; the default basename is used only if the option is not actually specified. If you use the
relay-log-index
this behavior depends on the other options used, the order in which they are specified, and whether
they are specified on the command line or in an option file. For more information about how MySQL
handles server options, see
If you specify this option, the value specified is also used as the basename for the relay logs. You
can override this behavior by specifying a different relay log file basename using the
[1455] option.

--relay-log-space-limit=size
This option places an upper limit on the total size in bytes of all relay logs on the slave. A value
of 0 means "no limit." This is useful for a slave server host that has limited disk space. When the
limit is reached, the I/O thread stops reading binary log events from the master server until the
SQL thread has caught up and deleted some unused relay logs. Note that this limit is not absolute:
There are cases where the SQL thread needs more events before it can delete relay logs. In that
case, the I/O thread exceeds the limit until it becomes possible for the SQL thread to delete some
relay logs because not doing so would cause a deadlock. You should not set
