MariaDB Interview Question:

Tell me how can you stop replication on all slave servers at the same point in time?

This will show if they use tools or hack methods.
Normally, replication stops when an error occurs on the slave, so if they force an error that is replicated it would stop the all slaves at the same point in time, an "old school" method to stoping the slaves.
