PURGE BINARY LOGS did not always purge binary logs. This commit fixes
some of the issues and adds notifications if a binary log cannot be
purged.
User visible changes:
- 'PURGE BINARY LOG TO log_name' and 'PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE date'
worked differently. 'TO' ignored 'slave_connections_needed_for_purge'
while 'BEFORE' did not. Now both versions ignores the
'slave_connections_needed_for_purge variable'.
- 'PURGE BINARY LOG..' commands now returns 'note' if a binary log cannot
be deleted like
Note 1375 Binary log 'master-bin.000004' is not purged because it is
the current active binlog
- Automatic binary log purges, based on date or size, will write a
note to the error log if a binary log matching the size or date
cannot yet be deleted.
- If 'slave_connections_needed_for_purge' is set from a config or
command line, it is set to 0 if Galera is enabled and 1 otherwise
(old default). This ensures that automatic binary log purge works
with Galera as before the addition of
'slave_connections_needed_for_purge'.
If the variable is changed to 0, a warning will be printed to the error
log.
Code changes:
- Added THD argument to several purge_logs related functions that needed
THD.
- Added 'interactive' options to purge_logs functions. This allowed
me to remove testing of sql_command == SQLCOM_PURGE.
- Changed purge_logs_before_date() to first check if log is applicable
before calling can_purge_logs(). This ensures we do not get a
notification for logs that does not match the remove criteria.
- MYSQL_BIN_LOG::can_purge_log() will write notifications to the user
or error log if a log cannot yet be removed.
- log_in_use() will return reason why a binary log cannot be removed.
Changes to keep code consistent:
- Moved checking of binlog_format for Galera to be after Galera is
initialized (The old check never worked). If Galera is enabled
we now change the binlog_format to ROW, with a warning, instead of
aborting the server. If this change happens a warning will be printed to
the error log.
- Print a warning if Galera or FLASHBACK changes the binlog_format
to ROW. Before it was done silently.

Problem:
========
During point in time recovery of binary log syntax error is reported for
BEGIN statement and recovery fails.
Analysis:
=========
In MariaDB 10.3 and later, setting the sql_mode system variable to Oracle
allows the server to understand a subset of Oracle's PL/SQL language. When
sql_mode=ORACLE is set, it switches the parser from the MariaDB parser to
Oracle compatible parser. With this change 'BEGIN' is not considered as
'START TRANSACTION'. Hence the syntax error is reported.
Fix:
===
At preset 'BEGIN' query is generated from 'Gtid_log_event::print'. The current
session specific 'sql_mode' information is not present as part of
'Gtid_log_event'. If it was available then, mysqlbinlog tool can make use of
'sql_mode == ORACLE' and can output "START TRANSACTION" in this particular
mode and for other sql_modes it will write "BEGIN" as part of output. Since it
is not available 'mysqlbinlog' tool will output all 'BEGIN' statements as
'START TRANSACTION' irrespective of 'sql_mode'.
