File: MySql.yml line 32
By chemikadze:

Chef allows (and some recipes can require that) set attributes for several cookbooks during run, for example MySQL cookbook can use EC2 cookbook to attach EBS volume. We could detect upper-level attribute key ("mysql") using runList contents, but chef's run list may contain several recipes or roles that will be expanded in several recipes, so we can not detect upper-level key in all cases supported by chef. I think that can be something like that:

parameters:
mysql:
tunable:
max_allowed_packet: 1
