BLOB fields did not work as grouping keys at all, they were assigned
value NULL for any value, be it NULL or not. The fix is in the
rowaggregation.cpp in the initMapping(), a switch/case branch was added
to handle BLOB field copying there.
Also, TEXT columns did not distinguish between NULL and empty string in
the grouping algorithm, now they do. The fix is in the equals()
function, now we specifically check for isNull() equality between
values.
The new added invariant checking that RGData knows the number of columns and fixed size columns was failing for disk-based aggregation workloads, leading them to provide a wrong result. (The assertion failure happened in RGData::getRow(uint32_t num, Row* row) which is called in the finalization of sub-aggregation results, necessary for merging part results. As the merging failed, duplicate results were output for disk-based aggregation queries.
The assertion failure was caused by RGData::deserialize(ByteStream& bs,
uint32_t defAmount) not setting rowSize and colCount if necessary (e.g.
when the deserialization happens into a new, default RGData, which
doesn't know anything about its structure yet. This is the case when the
default constructor for RGData() is used, which sets rowSize and
columnCount to 0 each.
There are three code parts that make use of the default RGData() ctor.
The fix is for the use in RowGroupStorage::loadRG(uint64_t rgid,
std::unique_ptr<RGData>& rgdata, bool unlinkDump = false), where the
default RGData object is used to directly deserialize a ByteStream into
it. The deserialize method now checks if both rowSize and columnCount
are 0 and if yes sets the read values from the ByteStream for both.
We should probably check the other two code parts making use of the
default RGData ctor, too. This happens in joinpartition.cpp and
tuplejoiner.cpp.

Adds a special column which helps to differentiate data and rollups of
various depts and a simple logic to row aggregation to add processing of
subtotals.
* Fixes of bugs from ASAN warnings, part one
* MQC as static library, with nifty counter for global map and mutex
* Switch clang to 16
* link messageqcpp to execplan
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.
* 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
* Introduce multigeneration aggregation
* Do not save unused part of RGDatas to disk
* Add IO error explanation (strerror)
* Reduce memory usage while aggregating
* introduce in-memory generations to better memory utilization
* Try to limit the qty of buckets at a low limit
* Refactor disk aggregation a bit
* pass calculated hash into RowAggregation
* try to keep some RGData with free space in memory
* do not dump more than half of rowgroups to disk if generations are
allowed, instead start a new generation
* for each thread shift the first processed bucket at each iteration,
so the generations start more evenly
* Unify temp data location
* Explicitly create temp subdirectories
whether disk aggregation/join are enabled or not
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.
MCOL-4409 This patch combines VDecimal and Decimal and makes
IDB_Decimal an alias for the result class
MCOL-4409 More boilerplate reduction in Func_mod
Removed couple TSInt128::toType() methods
The else if block in Row::equals() was incorrectly getting triggered
for narrow decimals earlier. We now specifically check if the column
is a wide decimal. Furthermore, we need to dereference the int128_t
pointers for equality comparison.
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.
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.
Binary NULL magic now consists of a series of BINARYEMPTYROW-s + BINARYNULL
in the end.
ByteStream now has hexbyte alias.
Added ColumnCommand::getEmptyRowValue to support 16 byte EMPTY values.
Replaced BINARYEMPTYROW and BINARYNULL values. We need to have
separate magic values for numeric and non-numeric binary types
b/c numeric cant tolerate losing 0 used for magics previously.
atoi128() now parses minus sign and produces negative values.
RowAggregation::isNull() now uses Row::isNull() for DECIMAL.
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.
