Thanks for your response. I know what MariaDB is, is just that I know
InnoDB as is does not exist on MariaDB but a replacement (XtraDB)
which I know does not implement everything InnoDB does. It doesn't
mean it wouldn't implement everything we (Koha) need.
Do we need to change ENGINE=InnoDB in our dumps to test?

P.S: I'm more worried about multi-master setups and that kind of stuff.
