Deprecate the plugin variable spider_use_handler and the corresponding
table parameters "uhd" and "use_handler".
Passing a Handler statement to data nodes, without converting it to
SQL sometimes, might improve the performance, while this introduces
some complication to the implementation.
In the first place, only a few people use Handler statements and the
performance gain seems not to be very significant. Further, setting
spider_use_handler > 0 disables the GROUP BY handler. So, we decided
to deprecate the variable.
Remove the dead-code, in Spider, which is related to the Spider's
Oracle OCI support. The code has been disabled for a long time and
it is unlikely that the code will be enabled.

We introduce engine-defined attributes to specify remote data nodes.
The engine attributes do not cover all the existing DSN parameters
because most of them need not be specified at the table level.
We introduce the following three attributes: REMOTE_SERVER,
REMOTE_DATABASE, REMOTE_TABLE.
One cannot specify both DSN parameter, in COMMENT or CONNECT, and
engine-defined attribute that are for the same SPIDER_SHARE attribute.
For example, Spider returns an error if both COMMENT='table "t1"'
and REMOTE_TABLE="t2" are specified for a single Spider table or
a single partition in a Spider table.
The commit e954d9de gave different lifetime to wide_share and
partition_handler_share. This introduced the possibility that
partition_handler_share could be accessed even after it was freed.
We stop sharing partitoiin_handler_share and make it belong to
a single wide_handler to fix the problem.
This change removed 68 explict strlen() calls from the code.
The following renames was done to ensure we don't use the old names
when merging code from earlier releases, as using the new variables
for print function could result in crashes:
- charset->csname renamed to charset->cs_name
- charset->name renamed to charset->coll_name
Almost everything where mechanical changes except:
- Changed to use the new Protocol::store(LEX_CSTRING..) when possible
- Changed to use field->store(LEX_CSTRING*, CHARSET_INFO*) when possible
- Changed to use String->append(LEX_CSTRING&) when possible
Other things:
- There where compiler issues with ensuring that all character set names
points to the same string: gcc doesn't allow one to use integer constants
when defining global structures (constant char * pointers works fine).
To get around this, I declared defines for each character set name
length.
The reason for the change is that neither clang or gcc can do efficient
code when several bit fields are change at the same time or when copying
one or more bits between identical bit fields.
Updated bits explicitely with & and | is MUCH more efficient than what
current compilers can do.
Added back variable 'with_subquery' to Item class as a bit field.
This made the code shorter, faster (removed some virtual methods,
less code to create an initialized item etc) and made many Item's 7 bytes
smaller.
This is the last set of my patches the decreases the size of Item.
Some examples from gdb:
sizeof(Item): 144 -> 120
sizeof(Item_func) 208 -> 184
sizeof(Item_sum_max) 368 -> 344
The name of the table sent as an argument to the handler::init() has the
database name in front of it. So we should use
table_share->table_name.length.
Replace
* select_lex::offset_limit
* select_lex::select_limit
* select_lex::explicit_limit
with select_lex::Lex_select_limit
The Lex_select_limit already existed with the same elements and was used in
by the yacc parser.
This commit is in preparation for FETCH FIRST implementation, as it
simplifies a lot of the code.
Additionally, the parser is simplified by making use of the stack to
return Lex_select_limit objects.
Cleanup of init_query() too. Removes explicit_limit= 0 as it's done a bit later
in init_select() with limit_params.empty()
The COM_MULTI did not take off. No connector is using it.
Remove related code from server, and client.
If anything it is a step simplification of already-bloated
dispatch_command(), and related code.
The used code is largely based on code from Tencent
The problem is that in some rare cases there may be a conflict between .frm
files and the files in the storage engine. In this case the DROP TABLE
was not able to properly drop the table.
Some MariaDB/MySQL forks has solved this by adding a FORCE option to
DROP TABLE. After some discussion among MariaDB developers, we concluded
that users expects that DROP TABLE should always work, even if the
table would not be consistent. There should not be a need to use a
separate keyword to ensure that the table is really deleted.
The used solution is:
- If a .frm table doesn't exists, try dropping the table from all storage
engines.
- If the .frm table exists but the table does not exist in the engine
try dropping the table from all storage engines.
- Update storage engines using many table files (.CVS, MyISAM, Aria) to
succeed with the drop even if some of the files are missing.
- Add HTON_AUTOMATIC_DELETE_TABLE to handlerton's where delete_table()
is not needed and always succeed. This is used by ha_delete_table_force()
to know which handlers to ignore when trying to drop a table without
a .frm file.
The disadvantage of this solution is that a DROP TABLE on a non existing
table will be a bit slower as we have to ask all active storage engines
if they know anything about the table.
Other things:
- Added a new flag MY_IGNORE_ENOENT to my_delete() to not give an error
if the file doesn't exist. This simplifies some of the code.
- Don't clear thd->error in ha_delete_table() if there was an active
error. This is a bug fix.
- handler::delete_table() will not abort if first file doesn't exists.
This is bug fix to handle the case when a drop table was aborted in
the middle.
- Cleaned up mysql_rm_table_no_locks() to ensure that if_exists uses
same code path as when it's not used.
- Use non_existing_Table_error() to detect if table didn't exists.
Old code used different errors tests in different position.
- Table_triggers_list::drop_all_triggers() now drops trigger file if
it can't be parsed instead of leaving it hanging around (bug fix)
- InnoDB doesn't anymore print error about .frm file out of sync with
InnoDB directory if .frm file does not exists. This change was required
to be able to try to drop an InnoDB file when .frm doesn't exists.
- Fixed bug in mi_delete_table() where the .MYD file would not be dropped
if the .MYI file didn't exists.
- Fixed memory leak in Mroonga when deleting non existing table
- Fixed memory leak in Connect when deleting non existing table
Bugs fixed introduced by the original version of this commit:
MDEV-22826 Presence of Spider prevents tables from being force-deleted from
other engines
reduce the amount of engine-specific code in the server,
particularly as it does not serve any purpose now.
