:: 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()?

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
