ColumnStore now uses standard bin/lib paths for pretty much everything.
Data path is now hard-coded to /var/lib/columnstore.
This patch also:
* Removes v1 decompression
* Removes a bunch of unneeded files
* Removes COLUMNSTORE_INSTALL_DIR / $INSTALLDIR
* Makes my.cnf.d work for all platforms (MCOL-3558)
* Changes configcpp to use recursive mutex (fixes possible config write deadlock)
* Fixes MCOL-3599 Fix regr functions, The library was installed in the wrong location
* Fixes a bunch of Ubuntu packaging issues
* Changes the binary names of several of the executables so as not to
clash with potential executables from other packages
For some reason version buffer is not turned up for update queries which
means that the version number for dictionary blocks is not changed.
This can lead to dirty cache reads resulting in _CpNoTf_ in the results.
This patch turns on version buffer for updates.
This adds options which are user enabled to debug the LRU cache inside
ColumnStore. Specifically cache flushing.
It adds the following:
* PrimProc flush information when SIGUSR2 mode is enabled
* cpimport dictionary flush information when -d2 is used
* WriteEngineServer DML flush information to STDERR
With 1.1 we have removed libdrizzle and used MariaDB's client library
instead for both CrossEngine and QueryStats. Unfortunately MariaDB 10.2
has two client libraries which have different structs with the same
name. When QueryStats was running inside the ColumnStore plugin this
symbol conflict was causing a crash.
The server's built-in client API has several different and several
missing functions so some additions to sm.cpp were made to fill the
gaps.
This patch does the following:
* Make sure that libmariadb is only linked to executables, not the
ColumnStore Plugin (to avoid symbol conflicts). Note that all
executables that link to CrossEngine and/or QueryStats need to link to
libmariadb to avoid missing symbol issues.
* Use the server's built-in client API for QueryStats when run in the
plugin
* Replace missing server built-in client API calls in sm.cpp (this is
for QueryStats and CrossEngine to keep the dynamic linker happy)
* Fixes issue where using 'localhost' as the MariaDB Server hostname
would fail in QueryStats.
* TEXT and BLOB now have separate identifiers internally
* TEXT columns are identified as such in system catalog
* cpimport only requires hex input for BLOB, not TEXT
* DML writes for multi-block dictionary (blob) now works
* PrimProc fixed so that the first block in multi-block is read
correctly
* Performance optimisation (removed string copy into stack) for new
dictionary entries
This patch allows the following syntax to change the current
autoincrement value for the table:
ALTER TABLE table_name COMMENT='autoincrement=value';
Where "value" is the new integer to be used.
I_S.COLUMNSTORE_FILES returned bad filenames and NULL file sizes when
there are multiple nodes in a ColumnStore cluster
It adds an extra message call to the WriteEngine to get the file size
for that file. The I_S function will figure out which WriteEngine to
communicate with and get the file size details from it.
