Server expands ut8_XXX aliases to utf8mb3_XXX or utf8mb4_XXX depending
on the UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 setting in the OLD_MODE environment variable.
Server already has the necessary code implemented in the get_utf8_flag()
method of class THD. There are several uses of this flag and all we have
to do to be in line with server is to use it.
This patch does that for DDL as work on MCOL-5705 uncovered some
problems in that area.
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.
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.
* Adds CompressInterfaceLZ4 which uses LZ4 API for compress/uncompress.
* Adds CMake machinery to search LZ4 on running host.
* All methods which use static data and do not modify any internal data - become `static`,
so we can use them without creation of the specific object. This is possible, because
the header specification has not been modified. We still use 2 sections in header, first
one with file meta data, the second one with pointers for compressed chunks.
* Methods `compress`, `uncompress`, `maxCompressedSize`, `getUncompressedSize` - become
pure virtual, so we can override them for the other compression algos.
* Adds method `getChunkMagicNumber`, so we can verify chunk magic number
for each compression algo.
* Renames "s/IDBCompressInterface/CompressInterface/g" according to requirement.
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.
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.
Several changes have happened in MariaDB 10.5, most notably:
* Information Schema table definitions have changed
* More things use LEX_CSTRING
This fixes all the compile issues
Add condition pushdowns to the information_schema tables to give a
performance improvement when a relevant WHERE condition is provided. In
addition there is a new table_usage() stored procedure designed to use
the pushdowns.
This does the following:
* Switch resource manager to a singleton which reduces the amount of
times the XML data is scanned and objects allocated.
* Make the I_S tables use the FE implementation of the system catalog
* Make the I_S.columnstore_columns table use the RID list cache
* Make the extentmap pre-allocate a vector instead of many small allocs
Fixes the following:
* Compression ratio calculation was incorrect
* Possible issues due to system catalog thread ID usage
* Compressed file size data count was leaking many FDs when the table
wasn't compressed
* Compressed file size data count was allocating random large amounts
of RAM and then leaking it when the table wasn't compressed
This patch does the following:
* Fix a year storage issue in the datestamp for the columnstore tables
metadata table (note that any previous tables will still have the
incorrect year stored).
* Expose the table creation date in CalpontSystemCatalog::getTables()
* Add an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table listing the tables in ColumnStore
(similar to systable)
* Add an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table listing the columns in ColumnStore
(similar to syscolumn)
* Add an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table listing the extents in ColumnStore
(similar to the editem tool but with additional file information)
* Modifies the build system and scripts to support the new tables
