Remove alter_algorithm but keep the variable as no-op (with a warning).
The reasons for removing alter_algorithm are:
- alter_algorithm was introduced as a replacement for the
old_alter_table that was used to force the usage of the original
alter table algorithm (copy) in the cases where the new alter
algorithm did not work. The new option was added as a way to force
the usage of a specific algorithm when it should instead have made
it possible to disable algorithms that would not work for some
reason.
- alter_algorithm introduced some cases where ALTER TABLE would not
work without specifying the ALGORITHM=XXX option together with
ALTER TABLE.
- Having different values of alter_algorithm on master and slave could
cause slave to stop unexpectedly.
- ALTER TABLE FORCE, as used by mariadb-upgrade, would not always work
if alter_algorithm was set for the server.
- As part of the MDEV-33449 "improving repair of tables" it become
clear that alter- algorithm made it harder to provide a better and
more consistent ALTER TABLE FORCE and REPAIR TABLE and it would be
better to remove it.
Some fixes related to commit f838b2d799 and
Rows_log_event::do_apply_event() and Update_rows_log_event::do_exec_row()
for system-versioned tables were provided by Nikita Malyavin.
This was required by test versioning.rpl,trx_id,row.
mysql_prepare_alter_table(): Alter table should check whether
foreign key exists when it expected to exists and
report the error in early stage
dict_foreign_parse_drop_constraints(): Don't throw error if the
foreign key constraints doesn't exist when if exists is given
in the statement.
Fixed missing initialization of Alter_info()
This could cause crashes in some create table like scenarios
where some generated indexes where automatically dropped.
I also added a test that we do not try to drop from index_stats for
temporary tables.
* Log rows in online_alter_binlog.
* Table online data is replicated within dedicated binlog file
* Cached data is written on commit.
* Versioning is fully supported.
* Works both wit and without binlog enabled.
* For now savepoints setup is forbidden while ONLINE ALTER goes on.
Extra support is required. We can simply log the SAVEPOINT query events
and replicate them together with row events. But it's not implemented
for now.
* Cache flipping:
We want to care for the possible bottleneck in the online alter binlog
reading/writing in advance.
IO_CACHE does not provide anything better that sequential access,
besides, only a single write is mutex-protected, which is not suitable,
since we should write a transaction atomically.
To solve this, a special layer on top Event_log is implemented.
There are two IO_CACHE files underneath: one for reading, and one for
writing.
Once the read cache is empty, an exclusive lock is acquired (we can wait
for a currently active transaction finish writing), and flip() is emitted,
i.e. the write cache is reopened for read, and the read cache is emptied,
and reopened for writing.
This reminds a buffer flip that happens in accelerated graphics
(DirectX/OpenGL/etc).
Cache_flip_event_log is considered non-blocking for a single reader and a
single writer in this sense, with the only lock held by reader during flip.
An alternative approach by implementing a fair concurrent circular buffer
is described in MDEV-24676.
* Cache managers:
We have two cache sinks: statement and transactional.
It is important that the changes are first cached per-statement and
per-transaction.
If a statement fails, then only statement data is rolled back. The
transaction moves along, however.
Turns out, there's no guarantee that TABLE well persist in
thd->open_tables to the transaction commit moment.
If an error occurs, tables from statement are purged.
Therefore, we can't store te caches in TABLE. Ideally, it should be
handlerton, but we cut the corner and store it in THD in a list.
Additionally fixes the bugs uncovered in:
- `MDEV-28332: Alter on temporary table causes ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR note`
Since there is no `warning` issued by shadowing of base table, this MDEV
is irrelevant. Keeping for review purposes and for future development
in case shadowing is going to be implemented
- `MDEV-28334: SHOW TABLE STATUS shows all temporary tables ignoring database and conditions`
- `MDEV-28453: SHOW commands are inconsistent for temporary tables`

This makes it easier to run test on just the MRG_MYISAM engine.
Other things:
- Renamed merge-big.test to flush_corruption.test as it does not
have anything to do with merge tables.
Diagnostics_area::set_error_status (interrupted ALTER TABLE under LOCK)
Analysis: KILL_QUERY is not ignored when local memory used exceeds maximum
session memory. Hence the query proceeds, OK is sent and we end up
reopening tables that are marked for reopen. During this, kill status is
eventually checked and assertion failure happens during trying to send error
message because OK has already been sent.
Fix: Ok is already sent so statement has already executed. It is too
late to give error. So ignore kill.
Drop and add same key is considered rename (look ALTER_RENAME_INDEX in
fill_alter_inplace_info()). But in this case order of keys may be
changed, because mysql_prepare_alter_table() yet does not know about
rename and treats 2 operations: drop and add.
In that case we disable inplace algorithm for such engines as Memory,
MyISAM and Aria with ALTER_INDEX_ORDER flag. These engines have no
specialized check_if_supported_inplace_alter() and default
handler::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() sees an unknown flag and
returns HA_ALTER_INPLACE_NOT_SUPPORTED.
ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() works differently and
inplace is not disabled (with the help of modified
INNOBASE_INPLACE_IGNORE). add_drop_v_cols fork was also tweaked as it
wrongly failed with MSG_UNSUPPORTED_ALTER_ONLINE_ON_VIRTUAL_COLUMN
when it seen ALTER_INDEX_ORDER.
No-op operation must be still no-op no matter of ALTER_INDEX_ORDER
presence, so we tweek its condition as well.
mysql_prepare_create_table() does my_qsort(sort_keys) on key
info. This sorting is indeterministic: a table is created with one
order and inplace alter may overwrite frm with another order. Since
inplace alter does nothing about key info for MyISAM/Aria storage
engines this results in discrepancy between frm and storage engine key
definitions.
The fix avoids the sorting of keys when no new keys added by ALTER
(and this is ok for MyISAM/Aria since it cannot add new keys inplace).
There is a case when implicit primary key may be changed when removing
NOT NULL from the part of unique key. In that case we update
modified_primary_key which is then used to not skip key sorting.
According to is_candidate_key() there is no other cases when primary
key may be changed implicitly.
Notes:
mi_keydef_write()/mi_keyseg_write() are used only in mi_create(). They
should be used in ha_inplace_alter_table() as well.
Aria corruption detection is unimplemented: maria_check_definition()
is never used!
MySQL 8.0 has this bug as well as of 8.0.26.
