:: Syntax change ::
Keyword AUTO enables history partition auto-creation.
Examples:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 MONTH
STARTS '2021-01-01 00:00:00' AUTO PARTITIONS 12;
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME LIMIT 1000 AUTO;
Or with explicit partitions:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO
(PARTITION p0 HISTORY, PARTITION pn CURRENT);
To disable or enable auto-creation one can use ALTER TABLE by adding
or removing AUTO from partitioning specification:
CREATE TABLE t1 (x int) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
# Disables auto-creation:
ALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR;
# Enables auto-creation:
ALTER TABLE t1 PARTITION BY SYSTEM_TIME INTERVAL 1 HOUR AUTO;
If the rest of partitioning specification is identical to CREATE TABLE
no repartitioning will be done (for details see MDEV-27328).
:: Description ::
Before executing history-generating DML command (see the list of commands below)
add N history partitions, so that N would be sufficient for potentially
generated history. N > 1 may be required when history partitions are switched
by INTERVAL and current_timestamp is N times further than the interval
boundary of the last history partition.
If the last history partition equals or exceeds LIMIT records then new history
partition is created and selected as the working partition. According to
MDEV-28411 partitions cannot be switched (or created) while the command is
running. Thus LIMIT does not carry strict limitation and the history partition
size must be planned as LIMIT value plus average number of history one DML
command can generate.
Auto-creation is implemented by synchronous fast_alter_partition_table() call
from the thread of the executed DML command before the command itself is run
(by the fallback and retry mechanism similar to Discovery feature,
see Open_table_context).
The name for newly added partitions are generated like default partition names
with extension of MDEV-22155 (which avoids name clashes by extending assignment
counter to next free-enough gap).
These DML commands can trigger auto-creation:
DELETE (including multitable DELETE, excluding DELETE HISTORY)
UPDATE (including multitable UPDATE)
REPLACE (including REPLACE .. SELECT)
INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE (including INSERT .. SELECT .. ODKU)
LOAD DATA .. REPLACE
:: Bug fixes ::
MDEV-23642 Locking timeout caused by auto-creation affects original DML
The reasons for this are:
- Do not disrupt main business process (the history is auxiliary service);
- Consequences are non-fatal (history is not lost, but comes into wrong
partition; fixed by partitioning rebuild);
- There is more freedom for application to fail in this case or not: it may
read warning info and find corresponding error number.
- While non-failing command is easy to handle by an application and fail it,
the opposite is hard to handle: there is no automatic actions to fix
failed command and retry, DBA intervention is required and until then
application is non-functioning.
MDEV-23639 Auto-create does not work under LOCK TABLES or inside triggers
Don't do tdc_remove_table() for OT_ADD_HISTORY_PARTITION because it is
not possible in locked tables mode.
LTM_LOCK_TABLES mode (and LTM_PRELOCKED_UNDER_LOCK_TABLES) works out
of the box as fast_alter_partition_table() can reopen tables via
locked_tables_list.
In LTM_PRELOCKED we reopen and relock table manually.
:: More fixes ::
* some_table_marked_for_reopen flag fix
some_table_marked_for_reopen affets only reopen of
m_locked_tables. I.e. Locked_tables_list::reopen_tables() reopens only
tables from m_locked_tables.
* Unused can_recover_from_failed_open() condition
Is recover_from_failed_open() can be really used after
open_and_process_routine()?

When we need to add/remove or change LIMIT, INTERVAL, AUTO we have to
recreate partitioning from scratch (via data copy). Such operations
should be done fast. To remove options like LIMIT or INTERVAL one
should write:
alter table t1 partition by system_time;
The command checks whether it is new or existing SYSTEM_TIME
partitioning. And in the case of new it behaves as CREATE would do:
adds default number of partitions (2). If SYSTEM_TIME partitioning
already existed it just changes its options: removes unspecified ones
and adds/changes those specified explicitly. In case when partitions
list was supplied it behaves as usual: does full repartitioning.
Examples:
create or replace table t1 (x int) with system versioning
partition by system_time limit 100 partitions 4;
# Change LIMIT
alter table t1 partition by system_time limit 33;
# Remove LIMIT
alter table t1 partition by system_time;
# This does full repartitioning
alter table t1 partition by system_time limit 33 partitions 4;
# This does data copy as pruning will require records in correct partitions
alter table t1 partition by system_time interval 1 hour
starts '2000-01-01 00:00:00';
# But this works fast, LIMIT will apply to DML commands
alter table t1 partition by system_time limit 33;
To sum up, ALTER for SYSTEM_TIME partitioning does full repartitioning
when:
- INTERVAL was added or changed;
- partition list or partition number was specified;
Otherwise it does fast alter table.
Cleaned up dead condition in set_up_default_partitions().

Moved LIMIT warning from vers_set_hist_part() to new call
vers_check_limit() at table unlock phase. At that point
read_partitions bitmap is already pruned by DML code (see
prune_partitions(), find_used_partitions()) so we have to set
corresponding bits for working history partition.
Also we don't do my_error(ME_WARNING|ME_ERROR_LOG), because at that
point it doesn't update warnings number, so command reports 0 warnings
(but warning list is still updated). Instead we do
push_warning_printf() and sql_print_warning() separately.
Under LOCK TABLES external_lock(F_UNLCK) is not executed. There is
start_stmt(), but no corresponding "stop_stmt()". So for that mode we
call vers_check_limit() directly from close_thread_tables().
Test result has been changed according to new LIMIT and warning
printing algorithm. For convenience all LIMIT warnings are marked with
"You see warning above ^".
TODO MDEV-20345 fixed. Now vers_history_generating() contains
fine-grained list of DML-commands that can generate history (and TODO
mechanism worked well).
Like in MDEV-27217 vers_set_hist_part() for LIMIT depends on all
partitions selected in read_partitions. That bugfix just disabled
partition selection for DELETE with this check:
if (table->pos_in_table_list &&
table->pos_in_table_list->partition_names)
{
return HA_ERR_PARTITION_LIST;
}
ALTER TABLE TRUNCATE PARTITION is a different story. First, it doesn't
update pos_in_table_list->partition_names, but
thd->lex->alter_info.partition_names. But we cannot depend on that
since alter_info will be stale for DML. Second, we should not disable
TRUNCATE PARTITION for that to be consistent with TRUNCATE TABLE
behavior.
Now we don't do vers_set_hist_part() for ALTER TABLE as this command
is not DML, so it does not produce history.
vers_info->hist_part retained stale value after ROLLBACK. The
algorithm in vers_set_hist_part() continued iteration from that value.
The simplest solution is to process partitions each time from start
for LIMIT in vers_set_hist_part().
LIMIT history switching requires the number of history partitions to
be marked for read: from first to last non-empty plus one empty. The
least we can do is to fail with error message if the needed partition
was not marked for read. As this is handler interface we require new
handler error code to display user-friendly error message.
Switching by INTERVAL works out-of-the-box with
ER_ROW_DOES_NOT_MATCH_GIVEN_PARTITION_SET error.
MDEV-25803 excluded some cases from key sort upon alter table. That
particularly depends on ALTER_ADD_INDEX flag. Creating a column of
SERIAL data type missed that flag. Though equivalent operation
alter table t1 add x bigint unsigned not null auto_increment unique;
has ALTER_ADD_INDEX flag.
Syntax for CONVERT keyword
ALTER TABLE tbl_name
[alter_option [, alter_option] ...] |
[partition_options]
partition_option: {
...
| CONVERT PARTITION partition_name TO TABLE tbl_name
}
Examples:
ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT PARTITION p2 TO TABLE tp2;
New ALTER_PARTITION_CONVERT_OUT command for
fast_alter_partition_table() is done in alter_partition_convert_out()
function which basically does ha_rename_table().
Partition to extract is marked with the same flag as dropped
partition: PART_TO_BE_DROPPED. Note that we cannot have multiple
partitioning commands in one ALTER.
For DDL logging basically the principle is the same as for other
fast_alter_partition_table() commands. The only difference is that it
integrates late Atomic DDL functions and introduces additional phase
of WFRM_BACKUP_ORIGINAL. That is required for binlog consistency
because otherwise we could not revert back after WFRM_INSTALL_SHADOW
is done. And before DDL log is complete if we crash or fail the
altered table will be already new but binlog will miss that ALTER
command. Note that this is different from all other atomic DDL in that
it rolls back until the ddl_log_complete() is done even if everything
was done fully before the crash.
Test cases added to:
parts.alter_table \
parts.partition_debug \
versioning.partition \
atomic.alter_partition
Dead code cleanup:
part_info->num_parts usage was wrong and working incorrectly in
mysql_drop_partitions() because num_parts is already updated in
prep_alter_part_table(). We don't have to update part_info->partitions
because part_info is destroyed at alter_partition_lock_handling().
Cleanups:
- DBUG_EVALUATE_IF() macro replaced by shorter form DBUG_IF();
- Typo in ER_KEY_COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXITS.
Refactorings:
- Splitted write_log_replace_delete_frm() into write_log_delete_frm()
and write_log_replace_frm();
- partition_info via DDL_LOG_STATE;
- set_part_info_exec_log_entry() removed.
DBUG_EVALUATE removed
DBUG_EVALUTATE was only added for consistency together with
DBUG_EVALUATE_IF. It is not used anywhere in the code.
DBUG_SUICIDE() fix on release build
On release DBUG_SUICIDE() was statement. It was wrong as
DBUG_SUICIDE() is used in expression context.
This essentially reverts commit 4e89ec6692
and only disables InnoDB persistent statistics for tests where it is
desirable. By design, InnoDB persistent statistics will not be updated
except by ANALYZE TABLE or by STATS_AUTO_RECALC.
The internal transactions that update persistent InnoDB statistics
in background tasks (with innodb_stats_auto_recalc=ON) may cause
nondeterministic query plans or interfere with some tests that deal
with other InnoDB internals, such as the purge of transaction history.
Historical query with AS OF point after the last history partition
must include last history partition because it can be overflown
(contain history rows out of right endpoint).
Move left point back to hist_part->id in that case.
Problem: Assertion `transactional_table || !changed ||
thd->transaction.stmt.modified_non_trans_table' failed due REPLACE into a
versioned table.
It is not specific to system versioning/pertitioning/heap, but this
combination makes it much easier to reproduce.
The thing is to make first ha_update_row call succeed to make
info->deleted != 0. And then make REPLACE fail by any reason.
In this scenario we overflow versioned partition, so next ha_update_row
succeeds, but corresponding ha_write_row fails to insert history record.
Fix: modified_non_trans_table is set in one missed place
Incorrect syntax for SYSTEM_TIME partition. work_part_info is detected
as HASH partition. We cannot add partition of different type neither
we cannot reorganize SYSTEM_TIME into/from different type
partitioning.
The sidefix for version until 10.5 corrects the message:
"For LIST partitions each partition must be defined"
UPDATE gets access to history records because versioning conditions
are not set for VIEW. This leads to endless loop of inserting history
records when clustered index is rebuilt and ha_rnd_next() returns
newly inserted history record.
Return back original behavior of failing on write-locked table in
historical query.
35b679b9 assumed that SELECT_LEX::lock_type influences anything, but
actually at this point table is already locked. Original bug report
was tempesta-tech/mariadb#102
This is continuation of MDEV-22153 bug when contiguity of history
partitions is broken. ha_partition::open_read_partitions() can not
handle non-contiguous list of default partitions.
Fix: when default partition is dropped convert list of partitions to
non-default.
