The code erroneously assumed that only Field_str descendants can
store character set information. After adding Field_inet6, it's
not true anymore.
Also, after adding Field_inet6, storing field->charset() become not correct either:
- Field_inet6::charset() return &my_charset_latin1,
because clients see INET6 as VARCHAR(39).
- Field_inet6::binlog_type_info().m_cs returns &my_charset_bin
because storage engines see INET6 as BINARY(16).
We need to store &my_charset_bin to the binlog metadata,
so the slave sees INET6 as BINARY(16), like storage engines do,
to make the slave treat the replicated data as binary IPv6 address
representation (rather than text representation).
The correct character set that needs to be stored to the metadata
is already populated to binlog_type_info_array[i].m_cs. So the
fixed code version uses this value rather than field->charset().
Cherry-pick the commits the mysql and some changes.
WL#4618 RBR: extended table metadata in the binary log
This patch extends Table Map Event. It appends some new fields for
more metadata. The new metadata includes:
- Signedness of Numberic Columns
- Character Set of Character Columns and Binary Columns
- Column Name
- String Value of SET Columns
- String Value of ENUM Columns
- Primary Key
- Character Set of SET Columns and ENUM Columns
- Geometry Type
Some of them are optional, the patch introduces a GLOBAL system
variable to control it. It is binlog_row_metadata.
- Scope: GLOBAL
- Dynamic: Yes
- Type: ENUM
- Values: {NO_LOG, MINIMAL, FULL}
- Default: NO_LOG
Only Signedness, character set and geometry type are logged if it is MINIMAL.
Otherwise all of them are logged.
Also add a binlog_type_info() to field, So that we can have extract
relevant binlog info from field.
