1. Extend the calpontsys.syscolumn system catalog table
with a new column, 'charsetnum'.
'charsetnum' field is set to the 'number' member of the
'charset_info_st' struct defined in the server in m_ctype.h.
For CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT column types, 'charset_info_st' is
initialized to the charset/collation of the column, which
is set at the column-level or at the table-level in the DDL.
For BLOB/VARBINARY binary column types, 'charset_info_st' is
initialized to my_charset_bin (charsetnum=63).
For all other column types, charsetnum is set to 0.
2. Add support for the newly added 'charsetnum' column in the
automatic system catalog upgrade logic in dbbuilder.
For existing table definitions, charsetnum for the column is
defaulted to 0.
3. Add MTR test case that creates a few table definitions with
a range of charset/collation combinations and queries the
calpontsys.syscolumn system catalog table with the charsetnum
field for the columns in the table DDLs.
This patch improves handling of NULLs in textual fields in ColumnStore.
Previously empty strings were considered NULLs and it could be a problem
if data scheme allows for empty strings. It was also one of major
reasons of behavior difference between ColumnStore and other engines in
MariaDB family.
Also, this patch fixes some other bugs and incorrect behavior, for
example, incorrect comparison for "column <= ''" which evaluates to
constant True for all purposes before this patch.
When a UNION operation involving DECIMAL datatypes with scale and digits
before the decimal exceeds the currently supported maximum precision
of 38, we throw an error to the user:
"MCS-2060: Union operation exceeds maximum DECIMAL precision of 38".
This is until MCOL-5417 is implemented where ColumnStore will have
full parity with MariaDB server in terms of maximum supported DECIMAL
precision and scale of 65 and 38 digits respectively.
CSC default ctor was private b/c it must not allow to use CSC outside thread cache.
However there are some places in the plugin code that need a standalone syscat that
is cleaned up leaving the scope. The decision is to make the restriction mentioned
organizational rather than syntactical.
This function iterates over lbidList (populated by an earlier call to
DBRM::getUncommittedExtentLBIDs()) to find those LBIDs which belong to
the AUX column. It then finds the corresponding LBIDs for all other columns
which belong to the same table as the AUX LBID and appends them to lbidList.
The updated lbidList is used by invalidateUncommittedExtentLBIDs() to update
the casual partitioning information.
DBRM::addToLBIDList() only comes into play in case of a transaction ROLLBACK.
The idea is relatively simple - encode prefixes of collated strings as
integers and use them to compute extents' ranges. Then we can eliminate
extents with strings.
The actual patch does have all the code there but miss one important
step: we do not keep collation index, we keep charset index. Because of
this, some of the tests in the bugfix suite fail and thus main
functionality is turned off.
The reason of this patch to be put into PR at all is that it contains
changes that made CHAR/VARCHAR columns unsigned. This change is needed in
vectorization work.
* Fix clang warnings
* Remove vim tab guides
* initialize variables
* 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length
* Fix ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier for outdated bison
* chars are unsigned on ARM, having if (ival < 0) always false
* chars are unsigned by default on ARM and comparison with -1 if always true
Part 1:
As part of MCOL-3776 to address synchronization issue while accessing
the fTimeZone member of the Func class, mutex locks were added to the
accessor and mutator methods. However, this slows down processing
of TIMESTAMP columns in PrimProc significantly as all threads across
all concurrently running queries would serialize on the mutex. This
is because PrimProc only has a single global object for the functor
class (class derived from Func in utils/funcexp/functor.h) for a given
function name. To fix this problem:
(1) We remove the fTimeZone as a member of the Func derived classes
(hence removing the mutexes) and instead use the fOperationType
member of the FunctionColumn class to propagate the timezone values
down to the individual functor processing functions such as
FunctionColumn::getStrVal(), FunctionColumn::getIntVal(), etc.
(2) To achieve (1), a timezone member is added to the
execplan::CalpontSystemCatalog::ColType class.
Part 2:
Several functors in the Funcexp code call dataconvert::gmtSecToMySQLTime()
and dataconvert::mySQLTimeToGmtSec() functions for conversion between seconds
since unix epoch and broken-down representation. These functions in turn call
the C library function localtime_r() which currently has a known bug of holding
a global lock via a call to __tz_convert. This significantly reduces performance
in multi-threaded applications where multiple threads concurrently call
localtime_r(). More details on the bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16145
This bug in localtime_r() caused processing of the Functors in PrimProc to
slowdown significantly since a query execution causes Functors code to be
processed in a multi-threaded manner.
As a fix, we remove the calls to localtime_r() from gmtSecToMySQLTime()
and mySQLTimeToGmtSec() by performing the timezone-to-offset conversion
(done in dataconvert::timeZoneToOffset()) during the execution plan
creation in the plugin. Note that localtime_r() is only called when the
time_zone system variable is set to "SYSTEM".
This fix also required changing the timezone type from a std::string to
a long across the system.
mcsconfig.h and my_config.h have the following
pre-processor definitions:
1. Conflicting definitions coming from the standard cmake definitions:
- PACKAGE
- PACKAGE_BUGREPORT
- PACKAGE_NAME
- PACKAGE_STRING
- PACKAGE_TARNAME
- PACKAGE_VERSION
- VERSION
2. Conflicting definitions of other kinds:
- HAVE_STRTOLL - this is a dirt in MariaDB headers.
Should be fixed in the server code. my_config.h erroneously
performs "#define HAVE_STRTOLL" instead of "#define HAVE_STRTOLL 1".
in some cases. The former is not CMake compatible style. The latter is.
3. Non-conflicting definitions:
Otherwise, mcsconfig.h and my_config.h should be mutually compatible,
because both are generated by cmake on the same host machine. So
they should have exactly equal definitions like "HAVE_XXX", "SIZEOF_XXX", etc.
Observations:
- It's OK to include both mcsconfig.h and my_config.h providing that we
suppress duplicate definition of the above conflicting types #1 and #2.
- There is no a need to suppress duplicate definitions mentioned in #3,
as they are compatible!
- my_sys.h and m_ctype.h must always follow a CMake configuation header,
either my_config.h or mcsconfig.h (or both).
They must never be included without any preceeding configuration header.
This change make sure that we resolve conflicts by:
- either disallowing inclusion of mcsconfig.h and my_config.h
at the same time
- or by hiding conflicting definitions #1 and #2
(with their later restoring).
- also, by making sure that my_sys.h and m_ctype.h always follow
a CMake configuration file.
Details:
- idb_mysql.h can now only be included only after my_config.h
An attempt to use idb_mysql.h with mcsconfig.h instead of
my_config.h is caught by the "#error" preprocessor directive.
- mariadb_my_sys.h can now be only included after mcsconfig.h.
An attempt to use mariadb_my_sys.h without mcscofig.h
(e.g. with my_config.h) is also caught by "#error".
- collation.h now can now be included in two ways.
It now has the following effective structure:
#if defined(PREFER_MY_CONFIG_H) && defined(MY_CONFIG_H)
// Remember current conflicting definitions on the preprocessor stack
// Undefine current conflicting definitions
#endif
#include "mcsconfig.h"
#include "m_ctype.h"
#if defined(PREFER_MY_CONFIG_H) && defined(MY_CONFIG_H)
# Restore conflicting definitions from the preprocessor stack
#endif
and can be included as follows:
a. using only mcsconfig.h as a configuration header:
// my_config.h must not be included so far
#include "collation.h"
b. using my_config.h as the first included configuration file:
#define PREFER_MY_CONFIG_H // Force conflict resolution
#include "my_config.h" // can be included directly or indirectly
...
#include "collation.h"
Other changes:
- Adding helper header files
utils/common/mcsconfig_conflicting_defs_remember.h
utils/common/mcsconfig_conflicting_defs_restore.h
utils/common/mcsconfig_conflicting_defs_undef.h
to perform conflict resolution easier.
- Removing `#include "collation.h"` from a number of files,
as it's automatically included from rowgroup.h.
- Removing redundant `#include "utils_utf8.h"`.
This change is not directly related to the problem being fixed,
but it's nice to remove redundant directives for both collation.h
and utils_utf8.h from all the files that do not really need them.
(this change could probably have gone as a separate commit)
- Changing my_init() to MY_INIT(argv[0]) in the MCS services sources.
After the fix of the complitation failure it appeared that ColumnStore
services compiled with the debug build crash due to recent changes in
safemalloc. The crash happened in strcmp() with `my_progname` as an argument
(where my_progname is a mysys global variable). This problem should
probably be fixed on the server side as well to avoid passing NULL.
But, the majority of MariaDB executable programs also use MY_INIT(argv[0])
rather than my_init(). So let's make MCS do like the other programs do.
For now it consists of only:
using int128_t = __int128;
using uint128_t = unsigned __int128;
All new privitive data types should go into this file in the future.
This commit introduces DataConvert UTs.
DataConvert::decimalToString now can negative values.
Next version for Row::toString(), applyMapping UT checks.
Row:equals() is now wide-DECIMAL aware.
Create tables and schemas with lower case name only if the flag is set.
During operations, convert to lowercase in plugin. Byt the time a query gets to ExeMgr, DDLProc etc., everything must be lower case if the flag is set, and undisturbed if not.
Found the following:
* Potential stack explosions with alloca() usage on potentially large
strings
* Memory leaks in WriteEngineServer
* Stack usage out of scope in dataconvert
* A typo in an 'if' statement in dataconvert
