For queries of the form:
SELECT col1 FROM t1 WHERE col2 = (SELECT 2);
We fix the execution plan which earlier had an empty filters
expression. For this query, we now build a SimpleFilter with a
SimpleColumn and a ConstantColumn as the LHS and the RHS operands
respectively.
For queries of the form:
SELECT ... WHERE col1 NOT IN (SELECT <const_item>);
The execution plan earlier built a SimpleFilter with an "=" as
the predicate operator of the filter. We fix this by assigning
the correct "<>" operator instead.
cross-engine join with a ColumnStore table errors out.
ColumnStore cannot directly update a foreign table. We detect whether
a multi-table UPDATE operation is performed on a foreign table, if so,
do not create the select_handler and let the server execute the UPDATE
operation instead.
non-wide decimal column in the HAVING clause.
In buildAggregateColumn(), if an aggregate function (such as avg)
is applied on a non-wide decimal column, we were setting the precision
of the resulting column as -1. This later down in the execution got
converted to 255 as in some cases, precision is stored as uint8_t.
The predicate operations on a DECIMAL column has logic that uses
the wide Decimal::s128value field if precision > 18. This logic incorrectly
used the Decimal::s128value instead of the correct value stored in the
narrow Decimal::value field, since precision of the Decimal column
was 255. The fix is to set the aggregate column precision to
datatypes::INT64MAXPRECISION (18) in buildAggregateColumn() when the
aggregate is applied on a non-wide decimal column.
This commit also partially fixes -Wstrict-aliasing GCC warnings.
This is a subtask of MCOL-4525 Implement select_handler=AUTO.
Server performs outer join to inner join conversion using simplify_joins()
in sql/sql_select.cc, by updating the TABLE_LIST::outer_join variable.
In order to perform this conversion, permanent changes are made in some
cases to the SELECT_LEX::JOIN::conds and/or TABLE_LIST::on_expr.
This is undesirable for MCOL-4525 which will attemp to fallback and execute
the query inside the server, in case the query execution fails in ColumnStore
using the select_handler.
For a query such as:
SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON expr1 LEFT JOIN t3 ON expr2
In some cases, server can update the original SELECT_LEX::JOIN::conds
and/or TABLE_LIST::on_expr and create new Item_cond_and objects
(e.g. with 2 Item's expr1 and expr2 in Item_cond_and::list).
Instead of making changes to the original query structs, we use
gp_walk_info::tableOnExprList and gp_walk_info::condList. 2 Item's,
expr1 and expr2, in the condList, mean Item_cond_and(expr1, expr2), and
hence avoid permanent transformations to the SELECT_LEX.
We also define a new member variable
ha_columnstore_select_handler::tableOuterJoinMap
which saves the original TABLE_LIST::outer_join values before they are
updated. This member variable will be used later on to restore to the original
state of TABLE_LIST::outer_join in case of a query fallback to server execution.
The original simplify_joins() implementation in the server also performs a
flattening of the JOIN nest, however we don't perform this operation in
convertOuterJoinToInnerJoin() since it is not required for ColumnStore.
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.
Main theme of the patch is to fix joins processing in the plugin
code. We now use SELECT_LEX::top_join_list and process the nested
joins recursively, instead of SELECT_LEX::table_list struct which
we earlier used to build the join filters. The earlier approach
did not process certain nested join ON expressions, causing certain
queries to incorrectly error out such as that described in MCOL-4680.
In addition, some legacy code is also removed.
We earlier leveraged the server functionality provided by
Item_in_subselect::create_in_to_exists_cond and
Item_in_subselect::inject_in_to_exists_cond
to create and inject the in-to-exists predicate into an IN
subquery's JOIN struct. With this patch, we leave the IN subquery's
JOIN unaltered and instead directly perform this predicate creation
and injection into ColumnStore's select execution plan.
For a query of the form:
SELECT COUNT(c2) FROM (SELECT * FROM t1) q;
where t1 contains 10 columns c1, c2, ... , c10.
We currently create an intermediate RowGroup in ExeMgr with
a row of the form (1, c2_value1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), i.e.
for all the columns of the subquery which are not referenced in
the outer query, we substitute a constant value, which is wasteful.
With this optimization, we are trimming the RowGroup to a row
of the form (1, c2_value1). This can have non-trivial query
execution time improvements if the subquery contains large number
of columns (such as a "select *" on a very wide table) and the outer
query is only referencing a subset of these columns with lower
index values from the subquery (as an example, c1 or c2 above).
That is, the current limitation of this optimization is we are not
removing those non-referenced subquery columns (c1 in the query above)
which are to the left of a referenced column.
After the cleanup work done for FETCH FIRST ... WITH TIES
SELECT_LEX members select_limit, explicit_limit and offset_limit are now moved
to SELECT_LEX::limit_params.
type is not LEFT/RIGHT.
In buildOuterJoin(), do not add ON expressions for WHERE
processing when the JOIN type is not LEFT/RIGHT.
Test cases to check correct processing of INNER JOIN ON expressions
with possible/impossible WHERE conditions are added for
1. One side of the LEFT JOIN being INNER JOIN.
2. One side of the LEFT JOIN being an INNER JOIN inside an INNER JOIN.
3. Both sides of the LEFT JOIN being an INNER JOIN.
For TIMESTAMP, it should do similar. However, it didn't work. For some reason, MDB has the function set as DATETIME, which for cs, isn't the same thing. Added a kludge to ha_mcs_execplan.cpp to handle it.
1. Add wide decimal support to AggregateColumn::evaluate
and TreeNode::getDecimalVal().
2. Use the pm aggregate attributes to determine um aggregate
attributes in TupleAggregateStep::prep2PhasesAggregate.
1. Perform type promotion to wide decimal if the result
of an arithmetic operation has a precision > 18.
2. Only set the decimal width of an arithmetic operation to wide
if both the LHS and RHS of the operation are decimal types.
Introduced fDecimalOverflowCheck to enable/disable overflow check.
Add support into a FunctionColumn.
Low level scanning crashes on medium sized data sets.
2. Set Decimal precision in SimpleColumn::evaluate().
3. Add support for int128_t in ConstantColumn.
4. Set IDB_Decimal::s128Value in buildDecimalColumn().
5. Use width 16 as first if predicate for branching based on decimal width.
TupleAggregateStep class method and buildAggregateColumn() now properly set result data type.
doSum() now handles DECIMAL(38) in approprate manner.
Low-level null related methods for new binary-based datatypes now handles magic values for
binary-based DT.
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.
This patch enables select handler for executing prepared
statements. Most importantly, we are now activating a
persistent arena which will allocate any new items in a
permanent MEMROOT for prepared statements and stored procedures.
Refer to JOIN::optimize_inner() for details.
In processWhere(), we now use SELECT_LEX::prep_where in case
we are executing a prepared statement, as this is where the saved
WHERE clause is stored for prepared statement processing.
In addition, we also disable derived handler for prepared
statements.
