Replication error from Mariadb 10.1 to Mysql 5.1/5.0/5/5 when master's logging format is set to row based While replicating from Mariadb 10.1 to MySQL (5.0, 5.1, 5.5) or Mariadb (5.2, 5.5) lower versions, if master's binlog_format is set to row,  the replication failure occurs with the following message at slave (show slave status \G;):


  Last_Error: Table definition on master and slave does not match: Column 18 type mismatch - received type 19, rtmariadb10.empdetails
  has type 11


Here 

Master: Mariadb 10.1,binlog_format: row ; 
Slave : Mysql 5.1, binlog_format=statement/row/mixed(any one of these) 


Can someone please help to solve this issue?
You have encountered one of the reasons for saying that replication must not go from a newer Master to an older Slave.

Would you care to explain the ultimate goal; maybe we can discuss a workaround.
