The problem, introduced in patch for MDEV-26301:
When check_join_cache_usage() decides not to use join buffer, it must
adjust the access method accordingly. For BNL-H joins this means switching
from pseudo-"ref access"(with index=MAX_KEY) to some other access method.
Failing to do this will cause assertions down the line when code that is
not aware of BNL-H will try to initialize index use for ref access with
index=MAX_KEY.
The fix is to follow the regular code path to disable the join buffer for
the join_tab ("goto no_join_cache") instead of just returning from
check_join_cache_usage().
Introduces @@optimizer_switch flag: hash_join_cardinality
When this option is on, use EITS statistics to produce tighter bounds
for hash join output cardinality.
This patch is an extension / replacement to a similar patch in 10.6
New features:
- optimizer_switch hash_join_cardinality is on by default
- records_out is set to fanout when HASH is used
- Fixed bug in is_eits_usable: The function did not work with views
This patch optimizes the number of refills for the lateral derived table
to which a materialized derived table subject to split optimization is
is converted. This optimized number of refills is now considered as the
expected number of refills of the materialized derived table when searching
for the best possible splitting of the table.
When a query does implicit grouping and join operation produces an empty
result set, a NULL-complemented row combination is generated.
However, constant table fields still show non-NULL values.
What happens in the is that end_send_group() is called with a
const row but without any rows matching the WHERE clause.
This last part is shown by 'join->first_record' not being set.
This causes item->no_rows_in_result() to be called for all items to reset
all sum functions to their initial state. However fields are not set
to NULL.
The used fix is to produce NULL-complemented records for constant tables
as well. Also, reset the constant table's records back in case we're
in a subquery which may get re-executed.
An alternative fix would have item->no_rows_in_result() also work
with Item_field objects.
There is some other issues with the code:
- join->no_rows_in_result_called is used but never set.
- Tables that are used with group functions are not properly marked as
maybe_null, which is required if the table rows should be regarded as
null-complemented (not existing).
- The code that tries to detect if mixed_implicit_grouping should be set
didn't take into account all usage of fields and sum functions.
- Item_func::restore_to_before_no_rows_in_result() called the wrong
function.
- join->clear() does not use a table_map argument to clear_tables(),
which caused it to ignore constant tables.
- unclear_tables() does not correctly restore status to what is
was before clear_tables().
Main bug fix was to always use a table_map argument to clear_tables() and
always use join->clear() and clear_tables() together with unclear_tables().
Other fixes:
- Fixed Item_func::restore_to_before_no_rows_in_result()
- Set 'join->no_rows_in_result_called' when no_rows_in_result_set()
is called.
- Removed not used argument from setup_end_select_func().
- More code comments
- Ensure that end_send_group() modifies the same fields as are in the
result set.
- Changed return_zero_rows() to use pointers instead of references,
similar to the rest of the code.
When processing a query over a mergeable view at some conditions checked
at prepare stage it may be decided to materialize the view rather than
to merge it. Before this patch in such case the field 'derived' of the
TABLE_LIST structure created for the view remained set to 0. As a result
the guard condition preventing range analysis for materialized views did
not work properly. This led to a call of some handler method for the
temporary table created to contain the view's records that was supposed
to be used only for opened tables. However temporary tables created for
materialization of derived tables or views are not opened yet when range
analysis is performed.

MDEV-20057 Distinct SUM on CROSS JOIN and grouped returns wrong result
which misses initializing of sorder->suffix_length.
In this commit the initialization is implemented by passing
MY_ZEROFILL flag to the allocation of SORT_FIELD elements
Now the same rule applied to vews and derived tables. So we should
allow merge of views (and derived) in queries with rownum, because
it do not change results, only makes query plans better.
Rewrite datetime comparison conditions into sargeable. For example,
YEAR(col) <= val -> col <= YEAR_END(val)
YEAR(col) < val -> col < YEAR_START(val)
YEAR(col) >= val -> col >= YEAR_START(val)
YEAR(col) > val -> col > YEAR_END(val)
YEAR(col) = val -> col BETWEEN YEAR_START(val) AND YEAR_END(val)
Do the same with DATE(col), for example:
DATE(col) <= val -> col <= DAY_END(val)
After such a rewrite index lookup on column "col" can be employed
This bug caused server crash when processing a multi-update statement that
used views if optimizer tracing was enabled.
The bug was introduced in the patch for MDEV-30539 that could incorrectly
detect the most top level selects of queries if views were used in them.

After MDEV-30830 has added block-nl-join.r_unpack_time_ms, it became
apparent that there is some unaccounted-for time in BNL join operation,
namely the time that is spent after unpacking the join buffer record.
Fix this by adding a Gap_time_tracker to track the time that is spent
after unpacking the join buffer record and before any next time tracking.
The collected time is printed in block-nl-join.r_other_time_ms.

In block-nl-join, add:
- r_loops - this shows how many incoming record combinations this
query plan node had.
- r_effective_rows - this shows the average number of matching rows
that this table had for each incoming record combination. This is
comparable with r_rows in non-blocked access methods.
For BNL-joins, it is always equal to
$.table.r_rows * $.table.r_filtered
For BNL-H joins the value cannot be computed from other values

EXPLAIN EXTENDED for an UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT/REPLACE statement did not
produce the warning containing the text representation of the query
obtained after the optimization phase. Such warning was produced for
SELECT statements, but not for DML statements.
The patch fixes this defect of EXPLAIN EXTENDED for DML statements.
