This feature allows a query execution to fallback to the server,
in case query execution using the select_handler (SH) fails. In case
of fallback, a warning message containing the original reason for
query failure using SH is generated.
To accomplish this task, SH execution is moved to an earlier step when
we create the SH in create_columnstore_select_handler(), instead of the
previous call to SH execution in ha_columnstore_select_handler::init_scan().
This requires some pre-requisite steps that occur in the server in
JOIN::optimize() and JOIN::exec() to be performed before starting SH execution.
In addition, missing test cases from MCOL-424 are also added to the MTR suite,
and the corresponding fix using disable_indices_for_CEJ() is reverted back
since the original fix now appears to be redundant.
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.
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.
internally(thus can remove equi-JOIN predicates) with a recursive f()
to inject equi-JOIN conditions for IN + correlated subquery Item.
This change both solves MCOL-3747 issue and remove issues I first
faced in union.sql test.
This commit also fixes a clean up for conditions pushed for table API
execution path and replaces NULL with nullptr in ha_mcs_impl.cpp.
Disabled 4th if block in buildOuterJoin to handle non-optimized MDB query
structures.
Broke getSelectPlan into pieces: processFrom, processWhere.
MCOL-3593 UNION processing depends on two flags isUnion that comes as
arg of getSelectPlan and unionSel that is a local variable in
getSelectPlan. Modularization of getSelectPlan broke the mechanizm.
This patch is supposed to partially fix it.
MCOL-3593 Removed unused if condition from buildOuterJoin that allows
unsupported construct subquery in ON expression.
Fixed an improper if condition that ignors tableMap entries w/o condition
in external_lock thus external_lock doesn't clean up when the query
finishes.
Fixed wrong logging for queries processed in tableMode. Now rnd_init
properly sends queryText down to ExeMgr to be logged.
MCOL-3593 Unused attribute FromSubQuery::fFromSub was removed.
getSelectPlan has been modularized into: setExecutionParams,
processFrom, processWhere. SELECT, HAVING, GROUP BY, ORDER BY
still lives in getSelectPlan.
Copied optimization function simplify_joins_ into our pushdown
code to provide the plugin code with some rewrites from MDB it
expects.
The columnstore_processing_handlers_fallback session variable
has been removed thus CS can't fallback from SH to partial
execution paths, e.g. DH, GBH or plugin API.
MCOL-3602 Moved MDB optimizer rewrites into a separate file.
Add SELECT_LEX::optimize_unflattened_subqueries() call to fix IN
into EXISTS rewrite for semi-JOINs with subqueries.
disable_indices_for_CEJ() add index related hints to disable
index access methods in Cross Engine Joins.
create_SH() now flattens JOIN that has both physical tables and
views. This fixes most of views related tests in the regression.
