The example is a MySQL single-master topology with multiple slaves running
asynchronous replication.

In general, when a new Pod joins the set as a replica, it must assume the primary MySQL
server might already have data on it. It also must assume that the replication
logs might not go all the way back to the beginning of time.
These conservative assumptions are the key to allow a running StatefulSet
to scale up and down over time, rather than being fixed at its initial size.
The second Init Container, named `clone-mysql`, performs a clone operation on
a slave Pod the first time it starts up on an empty PersistentVolume.

That means it copies all existing data from another running Pod,
so its local state is consistent enough to begin replicating from the master.
so its local state is consistent enough to begin replicating from the primary server.
MySQL itself does not provide a mechanism to do this, so the example uses a
popular open-source tool called Percona XtraBackup.

This works because the StatefulSet controller always ensures Pod `N` is
