EM and PP are most resource-hungry runtimes.
The merge enables to control their cummulative
resource consumption, thread allocation + enables
zero-copy data exchange b/w local EM and PP facilities.
Short CHAR/VARCHAR column values contain integer-encoded strings.
After certain manipulations(orderSwap(strnxfrm(str))) the values
become integers that preserve original strings order relation
according to a certain translation rules(collation). Prepared
values are ready to be SIMD-processed.
respondWait could be set to false
while other threads were waiting. With respondWait false, okToRrespond
wouldn't ever get notify_one(). Get rid of respondWait and use
fProcessorPool->blockedThreadCount to determine if any threads may be
waiting.
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* Fix ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier for outdated bison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
data types TEXT, CHAR, VARCHAR, FLOAT and DOUBLE are not yet supported by vectorized path
This patch introduces an example for Google benchmarking suite to measure a perf diff
b/w legacy scan/filtering code and the templated version
SCommand StrFilterCmd::duplicate() missed these two lines:
filterCmd->leftColType = leftColType;
filterCmd->rightColType = rightColType;
which exist in the parent's FilterCommand::duplicate().
Rewriting the code to avoid duplication by using more inherited
methods/constructors. This reduces the probability of similar bugs
in the future.
column width
RTSCommand was modified to use a fabric that produces CC class based on column width
NB this patch doesn't affect PseudoCC that also leverages ColumnCommand
* 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.
- MCOL-4527 Simple query performace is degraded between 5.4 and 5.5
xxx_nopad_bin collations are now around 30% faster on simple queries like:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE short_char_column_nopad_bin = 'literal'
The gain is achieved by comparing two short CHAR values as uint64_t.
Note, this patch does not affect xxx_bin collations!
It wouldn't be correct to apply the same improvement for xxx_bin
collations (i.e. with PAD SPACE attribute), because it would change
the way how trailing spaces are compared.
- MCOL-4539 WHERE short_char_column='literal' ignores the collation on a huge table
Only the first thread used a correct collation when performing:
WHERE short_char_char='literal'
Other (15) threads used the server default collation, because
the charsetNumber attribute was not copyed during cloning.
- This patch also adds mtr/basic/suite.opt, so "mtr" can run without --extern.
