The PowerDNS mysql database schema is currently not compatible with
mysql group replication. You will need to disable this feature for
PowerDNS to work.

This means that the bind zone file parser in PowerDNS is stricter than
bind's, or lacks support for a particular bind construct. Can you share
the actual zone file you are using (or at least the first 50 lines of
it) so that we can investigate further?
