It is not possible to prevent the server from starting if a mandatory built-in plugin fails to start. This can in some cases lead to data corruption when the old table name space suddenly is used by a different storage engine. A boolean command line option in the form of --foobar is automatically created for every existing plugin "foobar". By changing this command line option from a boolean to a tristate { OFF, ON, FORCE } it is possible to specify the plugin loading policy for each plugin. The behavior is specified as follows: OFF = Disable the plugin and start the server ON = Enable the plugin and start the server even if an error occurrs during plugin initialization. FORCE = Enable the plugin but don't start the server if an error occurrs during plugin initialization.
