b9f5793176 MDEV-9101 Limit size of created disk temporary files and tables
Two new variables added:
- max_tmp_space_usage : Limits the the temporary space allowance per user
- max_total_tmp_space_usage: Limits the temporary space allowance for
  all users.

New status variables: tmp_space_used & max_tmp_space_used
New field in information_schema.process_list: TMP_SPACE_USED

The temporary space is counted for:
- All SQL level temporary files. This includes files for filesort,
  transaction temporary space, analyze, binlog_stmt_cache etc.
  It does not include engine internal temporary files used for repair,
  alter table, index pre sorting etc.
- All internal on disk temporary tables created as part of resolving a
  SELECT, multi-source update etc.

Special cases:
- When doing a commit, the last flush of the binlog_stmt_cache
  will not cause an error even if the temporary space limit is exceeded.
  This is to avoid giving errors on commit. This means that a user
  can temporary go over the limit with up to binlog_stmt_cache_size.

Noteworthy issue:
- One has to be careful when using small values for max_tmp_space_limit
  together with binary logging and with non transactional tables.
  If a the binary log entry for the query is bigger than
  binlog_stmt_cache_size and one hits the limit of max_tmp_space_limit
  when flushing the entry to disk, the query will abort and the
  binary log will not contain the last changes to the table.
  This will also stop the slave!
  This is also true for all Aria tables as Aria cannot do rollback
  (except in case of crashes)!
  One way to avoid it is to use @@binlog_format=statement for
  queries that updates a lot of rows.

Implementation:
- All writes to temporary files or internal temporary tables, that
  increases the file size, are routed through temp_file_size_cb_func()
  which updates and checks the temp space usage.
- Most of the temporary file monitoring is done inside IO_CACHE.
  Temporary file monitoring is done inside the Aria engine.
- MY_TRACK and MY_TRACK_WITH_LIMIT are new flags for ini_io_cache().
  MY_TRACK means that we track the file usage. TRACK_WITH_LIMIT means
  that we track the file usage and we give an error if the limit is
  breached. This is used to not give an error on commit when
  binlog_stmp_cache is flushed.
- global_tmp_space_used contains the total tmp space used so far.
  This is needed quickly check against max_total_tmp_space_usage.
- Temporary space errors are using EE_LOCAL_TMP_SPACE_FULL and
  handler errors are using HA_ERR_LOCAL_TMP_SPACE_FULL.
  This is needed until we move general errors to it's own error space
  so that they cannot conflict with system error numbers.
- Return value of my_chsize() and mysql_file_chsize() has changed
  so that -1 is returned in the case my_chsize() could not decrease
  the file size (very unlikely and will not happen on modern systems).
  All calls to _chsize() are updated to check for > 0 as the error
  condition.
- At the destruction of THD we check that THD::tmp_file_space == 0
- At server end we check that global_tmp_space_used == 0
- As a precaution against errors in the tmp_space_used code, one can set
  max_tmp_space_usage and max_total_tmp_space_usage to 0 to disable
  the tmp space quota errors.
- truncate_io_cache() function added.
- Aria tables using static or dynamic row length are registered in 8K
  increments to avoid some calls to update_tmp_file_size().

Other things:
- Ensure that all handler errors are registered.  Before, some engine
  errors could be printed as "Unknown error".
- Fixed bug in filesort() that causes a assert if there was an error
  when writing to the temporay file.
- Fixed that compute_window_func() now takes into account write errors.
- In case of parallel replication, rpl_group_info::cleanup_context()
  could call trans_rollback() with thd->error set, which would cause
  an assert. Fixed by resetting the error before calling trans_rollback().
- Fixed bug in subselect3.inc which caused following test to use
  heap tables with low value for max_heap_table_size
- Fixed bug in sql_expression_cache where it did not overflow
  heap table to Aria table.
- Added Max_tmp_disk_space_used to slow query log.
- Fixed some bugs in log_slow_innodb.test

9293d40fa7 MDEV-33145 support for old-mode=OLD_FLUSH_STATUS
add old-mode that restores inconsistent legacy behavior for FLUSH STATUS.
It doesn't affect FLUSH { SESSION | GLOBAL } STATUS.

fd3b7f5eba cleanup: make the test more debuggable 2024-05-27 12:39:03 +02:00
775cba4d0f MDEV-33145 Add FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS
- FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS now resets most global_status_vars.
  At this stage, this is mainly to be used for testing.
- FLUSH SESSION STATUS added as an alias for FLUSH STATUS.
- FLUSH STATUS does not require any privilege (before required RELOAD).
- FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS requires RELOAD privilege.
- All global status reset moved to FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS.
- Replication semisync status variables are now reset by
  FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS.
- In test cases, the only changes are:
  - Replace FLUSH STATUS with FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS
  - Replace FLUSH STATUS with FLUSH STATUS; FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS.
    This was only done in a few tests where the test was using SHOW STATUS
    for both local and global variables.
- Uptime_since_flush_status is now always provided, independent if
  ENABLED_PROFILING is enabled when compiling MariaDB.
- @@global.Uptime_since_flush_status is reset on FLUSH GLOBAL STATUS
  and @@session.Uptime_since_flush_status is reset on FLUSH SESSION STATUS.
- When connected, @@session.Uptime_since_flush_status is set to 0.

ada3987948 [MDEV-30543] New status variable: max_used_connections_time
Add variable max_used_connections_time to show the time at which
max_used_connections reached its current value. This is useful for
troubleshooting high connection counts. MySQL 8 has this already.

727491b72a Added test cases for preceding test
This includes all test changes from
"Changing all cost calculation to be given in milliseconds"
and forwards.

Some of the things that caused changes in the result files:

- As part of fixing tests, I added 'echo' to some comments to be able to
  easier find out where things where wrong.
- MATERIALIZED has now a higher cost compared to X than before. Because
  of this some MATERIALIZED types have changed to DEPENDEND SUBQUERY.
  - Some test cases that required MATERIALIZED to repeat a bug was
    changed by adding more rows to force MATERIALIZED to happen.
- 'Filtered' in SHOW EXPLAIN has in many case changed from 100.00 to
  something smaller. This is because now filtered also takes into
  account the smallest possible ref access and filters, even if they
  where not used. Another reason for 'Filtered' being smaller is that
  we now also take into account implicit filtering done for subqueries
  using FIRSTMATCH.
  (main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
  This is caluculated in best_access_path() and stored in records_out.
- Table orders has changed because more accurate costs.
- 'index' and 'ALL' for small tables has changed to use 'range' or
   'ref' because of optimizer_scan_setup_cost.
- index can be changed to 'range' as 'range' optimizer assumes we don't
  have to read the blocks from disk that range optimizer has already read.
  This can be confusing in the case where there is no obvious where clause
  but instead there is a hidden 'key_column > NULL' added by the optimizer.
  (main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
- Scan on primary clustered key does not report 'Using Index' anymore
  (It's a table scan, not an index scan).
- For derived tables, the number of rows is now 100 instead of 2,
  which can be seen in EXPLAIN.
- More tests have "Using index for group by" as the cost of this
  optimization is now more correct (lower).
- A primary key could be preferred for a normal key, even if it would
  access more rows, as it's faster to do 1 lokoup and 3 'index_next' on a
  clustered primary key than one lookup trough a secondary.
  (main.stat_tables_innodb)

Notes:

- There was a 4.7% more calls to best_extension_by_limited_search() in
  the main.greedy_optimizer test.  However examining the test results
  it looked that the plans where slightly better (eq_ref where more
  chained together) so I assume this is ok.
- I have verified a few test cases where there was notable/unexpected
  changes in the plan and in all cases the new optimizer plans where
  faster.  (main.greedy_optimizer and some others)

b66cdbd1ea Changing all cost calculation to be given in milliseconds
This makes it easier to compare different costs and also allows
the optimizer to optimizer different storage engines more reliably.

- Added tests/check_costs.pl, a tool to verify optimizer cost calculations.
  - Most engine costs has been found with this program. All steps to
    calculate the new costs are documented in Docs/optimizer_costs.txt

- User optimizer_cost variables are given in microseconds (as individual
  costs can be very small). Internally they are stored in ms.
- Changed DISK_READ_COST (was DISK_SEEK_BASE_COST) from a hard disk cost
  (9 ms) to common SSD cost (400MB/sec).
- Removed cost calculations for hard disks (rotation etc).
- Changed the following handler functions to return IO_AND_CPU_COST.
  This makes it easy to apply different cost modifiers in ha_..time()
  functions for io and cpu costs.
  - scan_time()
  - rnd_pos_time() & rnd_pos_call_time()
  - keyread_time()
- Enhanched keyread_time() to calculate the full cost of reading of a set
  of keys with a given number of ranges and optional number of blocks that
  need to be accessed.
- Removed read_time() as keyread_time() + rnd_pos_time() can do the same
  thing and more.
- Tuned cost for: heap, myisam, Aria, InnoDB, archive and MyRocks.
  Used heap table costs for json_table. The rest are using default engine
  costs.
- Added the following new optimizer variables:
  - optimizer_disk_read_ratio
  - optimizer_disk_read_cost
  - optimizer_key_lookup_cost
  - optimizer_row_lookup_cost
  - optimizer_row_next_find_cost
  - optimizer_scan_cost
- Moved all engine specific cost to OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure.
- Changed costs to use 'records_out' instead of 'records_read' when
  recalculating costs.
- Split optimizer_costs.h to optimizer_costs.h and optimizer_defaults.h.
  This allows one to change costs without having to compile a lot of
  files.
- Updated costs for filter lookup.
- Use a better cost estimate in best_extension_by_limited_search()
  for the sorting cost.
- Fixed previous issues with 'filtered' explain column as we are now
  using 'records_out' (min rows seen for table) to calculate filtering.
  This greatly simplifies the filtering code in
  JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data().

This change caused a lot of queries to be optimized differently than
before, which exposed different issues in the optimizer that needs to
be fixed.  These fixes are in the following commits.  To not have to
change the same test case over and over again, the changes in the test
cases are done in a single commit after all the critical change sets
are done.

InnoDB changes:
- Updated InnoDB to not divide big range cost with 2.
- Added cost for InnoDB (innobase_update_optimizer_costs()).
- Don't mark clustered primary key with HA_KEYREAD_ONLY. This will
  prevent that the optimizer is trying to use index-only scans on
  the clustered key.
- Disabled ha_innobase::scan_time() and ha_innobase::read_time() and
  ha_innobase::rnd_pos_time() as the default engine cost functions now
  works good for InnoDB.

Other things:
- Added  --show-query-costs (\Q) option to mysql.cc to show the query
  cost after each query (good when working with query costs).
- Extended my_getopt with GET_ADJUSTED_VALUE which allows one to adjust
  the value that user is given. This is used to change cost from
  microseconds (user input) to milliseconds (what the server is
  internally using).
- Added include/my_tracker.h  ; Useful include file to quickly test
  costs of a function.
- Use handler::set_table() in all places instead of 'table= arg'.
- Added SHOW_OPTIMIZER_COSTS to sys variables. These are input and
  shown in microseconds for the user but stored as milliseconds.
  This is to make the numbers easier to read for the user (less
  pre-zeros).  Implemented in 'Sys_var_optimizer_cost' class.
- In test_quick_select() do not use index scans if 'no_keyread' is set
  for the table. This is what we do in other places of the server.
- Added THD parameter to Unique::get_use_cost() and
  check_index_intersect_extension() and similar functions to be able
  to provide costs to called functions.
- Changed 'records' to 'rows' in optimizer_trace.
- Write more information to optimizer_trace.
- Added INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_MUL (4) and INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_DIV (3)
  to calculate usage space of keys in b-trees. (Before we used numeric
  constants).
- Removed code that assumed that b-trees has similar costs as binary
  trees. Replaced with engine calls that returns the cost.
- Added Bitmap::find_first_bit()
- Added timings to join_cache for ANALYZE table (patch by Sergei Petrunia).
- Added records_init and records_after_filter to POSITION to remember
  more of what best_access_patch() calculates.
- table_after_join_selectivity() changed to recalculate 'records_out'
  based on the new fields from best_access_patch()

Bug fixes:
- Some queries did not update last_query_cost (was 0). Fixed by moving
  setting thd->...last_query_cost in JOIN::optimize().
- Write '0' as number of rows for const tables with a matching row.

Some internals:
- Engine cost are stored in OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure.  When a
  handlerton is created, we also created a new cost variable for the
  handlerton. We also create a new variable if the user changes a
  optimizer cost for a not yet loaded handlerton either with command
  line arguments or with SET
  @@global.engine.optimizer_cost_variable=xx.
- There are 3 global OPTIMIZER_COSTS variables:
  default_optimizer_costs   The default costs + changes from the
                            command line without an engine specifier.
  heap_optimizer_costs      Heap table costs, used for temporary tables
  tmp_table_optimizer_costs The cost for the default on disk internal
                            temporary table (MyISAM or Aria)
- The engine cost for a table is stored in table_share. To speed up
  accesses the handler has a pointer to this. The cost is copied
  to the table on first access. If one wants to change the cost one
  must first update the global engine cost and then do a FLUSH TABLES.
  This was done to be able to access the costs for an open table
  without any locks.
- When a handlerton is created, the cost are updated the following way:
  See sql/keycaches.cc for details:
  - Use 'default_optimizer_costs' as a base
  - Call hton->update_optimizer_costs() to override with the engines
    default costs.
  - Override the costs that the user has specified for the engine.
  - One handler open, copy the engine cost from handlerton to TABLE_SHARE.
  - Call handler::update_optimizer_costs() to allow the engine to update
    cost for this particular table.
  - There are two costs stored in THD. These are copied to the handler
    when the table is used in a query:
    - optimizer_where_cost
    - optimizer_scan_setup_cost
- Simply code in best_access_path() by storing all cost result in a
  structure. (Idea/Suggestion by Igor)

07df2029a3 Adjust cost for re-creating a row from the JOIN CACHE
Creating a record from the join cache is faster than getting a row from
the engine (less and simpler code to execute).

Added JOIN_CACHE_ROW_COPY_COST_FACTOR (0.5 for now) as the factor to
take this into account. This is multiplied with ROW_COPY_COST.

Other things:
- Added cost of copying rows to hash join, similar to join_cache joins.

b6215b9b20 Update row and key fetch cost models to take into account data copy costs
Before this patch, when calculating the cost of fetching and using a
row/key from the engine, we took into account the cost of finding a
row or key from the engine, but did not consistently take into account
index only accessed, clustered key or covered keys for all access
paths.

The cost of the WHERE clause (TIME_FOR_COMPARE) was not consistently
considered in best_access_path().  TIME_FOR_COMPARE was used in
calculation in other places, like greedy_search(), but was in some
cases (like scans) done an a different number of rows than was
accessed.

The cost calculation of row and index scans didn't take into account
the number of rows that where accessed, only the number of accepted
rows.

When using a filter, the cost of index_only_reads and cost of
accessing and disregarding 'filtered rows' where not taken into
account, which made filters cost less than there actually where.

To remedy the above, the following key & row fetch related costs
has been added:

- The cost of fetching and using a row is now split into different costs:
  - key + Row fetch cost (as before) but multiplied with the variable
  'optimizer_cache_cost' (default to 0.5). This allows the user to
  tell the optimizer the likehood of finding the key and row in the
  engine cache.
- ROW_COPY_COST, The cost copying a row from the engine to the
  sql layer or creating a row from the join_cache to the record
  buffer. Mostly affects table scan costs.
- ROW_LOOKUP_COST, the cost of fetching a row by rowid.
- KEY_COPY_COST the cost of finding the next key and copying it from
  the engine to the SQL layer. This is used when we calculate the cost
  index only reads. It makes index scans more expensive than before if
  they cover a lot of rows. (main.index_merge_myisam)
- KEY_LOOKUP_COST, the cost of finding the first key in a range.
  This replaces the old define IDX_LOOKUP_COST, but with a higher cost.
- KEY_NEXT_FIND_COST, the cost of finding the next key (and rowid).
  when doing a index scan and comparing the rowid to the filter.
  Before this cost was assumed to be 0.

All of the above constants/variables are now tuned to be somewhat in
proportion of executing complexity to each other.  There is tuning
need for these in the future, but that can wait until the above are
made user variables as that will make tuning much easier.

To make the usage of the above easy, there are new (not virtual)
cost calclation functions in handler:
- ha_read_time(), like read_time(), but take optimizer_cache_cost into
  account.
- ha_read_and_copy_time(), like ha_read_time() but take into account
  ROW_COPY_TIME
- ha_read_and_compare_time(), like ha_read_and_copy_time() but take
  TIME_FOR_COMPARE into account.
- ha_rnd_pos_time(). Read row with row id, taking ROW_COPY_COST
  into account.  This is used with filesort where we don't need
  to execute the WHERE clause again.
- ha_keyread_time(), like keyread_time() but take
  optimizer_cache_cost into account.
- ha_keyread_and_copy_time(), like ha_keyread_time(), but add
  KEY_COPY_COST.
- ha_key_scan_time(), like key_scan_time() but take
  optimizer_cache_cost nto account.
- ha_key_scan_and_compare_time(), like ha_key_scan_time(), but add
  KEY_COPY_COST & TIME_FOR_COMPARE.

I also added some setup costs for doing different types of scans and
creating temporary tables (on disk and in memory). This encourages
the optimizer to not use these for simple 'a few row' lookups if
there are adequate key lookup strategies.
- TABLE_SCAN_SETUP_COST, cost of starting a table scan.
- INDEX_SCAN_SETUP_COST, cost of starting an index scan.
- HEAP_TEMPTABLE_CREATE_COST, cost of creating in memory
  temporary table.
- DISK_TEMPTABLE_CREATE_COST, cost of creating an on disk temporary
  table.

When calculating cost of fetching ranges, we had a cost of
IDX_LOOKUP_COST (0.125) for doing a key div for a new range. This is
now replaced with 'io_cost * KEY_LOOKUP_COST (1.0) *
optimizer_cache_cost', which matches the cost we use for 'ref' and
other key lookups. The effect is that the cost is now a bit higher
when we have many ranges for a key.

Allmost all calculation with TIME_FOR_COMPARE is now done in
best_access_path(). 'JOIN::read_time' now includes the full
cost for finding the rows in the table.

In the result files, many of the changes are now again close to what
they where before the "Update cost for hash and cached joins" commit,
as that commit didn't fix the filter cost (too complex to do
everything in one commit).

The above changes showed a lot of a lot of inconsistencies in
optimizer cost calculation. The main objective with the other changes
was to do calculation as similar (and accurate) as possible and to make
different plans more comparable.

Detailed list of changes:

- Calculate index_only_cost consistently and correctly for all scan
  and ref accesses. The row fetch_cost and index_only_cost now
  takes into account clustered keys, covered keys and index
  only accesses.
- cost_for_index_read now returns both full cost and index_only_cost
- Fixed cost calculation of get_sweep_read_cost() to match other
  similar costs. This is bases on the assumption that data is more
  often stored on SSD than a hard disk.
- Replaced constant 2.0 with new define TABLE_SCAN_SETUP_COST.
- Some scan cost estimates did not take into account
  TIME_FOR_COMPARE. Now all scan costs takes this into
  account. (main.show_explain)
- Added session variable optimizer_cache_hit_ratio (default 50%). By
  adjusting this on can reduce or increase the cost of index or direct
  record lookups. The effect of the default is that key lookups is now
  a bit cheaper than before. See usage of 'optimizer_cache_cost' in
  handler.h.
- JOIN_TAB::scan_time() did not take into account index only scans,
  which produced a wrong cost when index scan was used. Changed
  JOIN_TAB:::scan_time() to take into consideration clustered and
  covered keys. The values are now cached and we only have to call
  this function once. Other calls are changed to use the cached
  values.  Function renamed to JOIN_TAB::estimate_scan_time().
- Fixed that most index cost calculations are done the same way and
  more close to 'range' calculations. The cost is now lower than
  before for small data sets and higher for large data sets as we take
  into account how many keys are read (main.opt_trace_selectivity,
  main.limit_rows_examined).
- Ensured that index_scan_cost() ==
  range(scan_of_all_rows_in_table_using_one_range) +
  MULTI_RANGE_READ_INFO_CONST. One effect of this is that if there
  is choice of doing a full index scan and a range-index scan over
  almost the whole table then index scan will be preferred (no
  range-read setup cost).  (innodb.innodb, main.show_explain,
  main.range)
  - Fixed the EQ_REF and REF takes into account clustered and covered
    keys.  This changes some plans to use covered or clustered indexes
    as these are much cheaper.  (main.subselect_mat_cost,
    main.state_tables_innodb, main.limit_rows_examined)
  - Rowid filter setup cost and filter compare cost now takes into
    account fetching and checking the rowid (KEY_NEXT_FIND_COST).
    (main.partition_pruning heap.heap_btree main.log_state)
  - Added KEY_NEXT_FIND_COST to
    Range_rowid_filter_cost_info::lookup_cost to account of the time
    to find and check the next key value against the container
  - Introduced ha_keyread_time(rows) that takes into account finding
    the next row and copying the key value to 'record'
    (KEY_COPY_COST).
  - Introduced ha_key_scan_time() for calculating an index scan over
    all rows.
  - Added IDX_LOOKUP_COST to keyread_time() as a startup cost.
  - Added index_only_fetch_cost() as a convenience function to
    OPT_RANGE.
  - keyread_time() cost is slightly reduced to prefer shorter keys.
    (main.index_merge_myisam)
  - All of the above caused some index_merge combinations to be
    rejected because of cost (main.index_intersect). In some cases
    'ref' where replaced with index_merge because of the low
    cost calculation of get_sweep_read_cost().
  - Some index usage moved from PRIMARY to a covering index.
    (main.subselect_innodb)
- Changed cost calculation of filter to take KEY_LOOKUP_COST and
  TIME_FOR_COMPARE into account.  See sql_select.cc::apply_filter().
  filter parameters and costs are now written to optimizer_trace.
- Don't use matchings_records_in_range() to try to estimate the number
  of filtered rows for ranges. The reason is that we want to ensure
  that 'range' is calculated similar to 'ref'. There is also more work
  needed to calculate the selectivity when using ranges and ranges and
  filtering.  This causes filtering column in EXPLAIN EXTENDED to be
  100.00 for some cases where range cannot use filtering.
  (main.rowid_filter)
- Introduced ha_scan_time() that takes into account the CPU cost of
  finding the next row and copying the row from the engine to
  'record'. This causes costs of table scan to slightly increase and
  some test to changed their plan from ALL to RANGE or ALL to ref.
  (innodb.innodb_mysql, main.select_pkeycache)
  In a few cases where scan time of very small tables have lower cost
  than a ref or range, things changed from ref/range to ALL.
  (main.myisam, main.func_group, main.limit_rows_examined,
  main.subselect2)
- Introduced ha_scan_and_compare_time() which is like ha_scan_time()
  but also adds the cost of the where clause (TIME_FOR_COMPARE).
- Added small cost for creating temporary table for
  materialization. This causes some very small tables to use scan
  instead of materialization.
- Added checking of the WHERE clause (TIME_FOR_COMPARE) of the
  accepted rows to ROR costs in get_best_ror_intersect()
- Removed '- 0.001' from 'join->best_read' and optimize_straight_join()
  to ensure that the 'Last_query_cost' status variable contains the
  same value as the one that was calculated by the optimizer.
- Take avg_io_cost() into account in handler::keyread_time() and
  handler::read_time(). This should have no effect as it's 1.0 by
  default, except for heap that overrides these functions.
- Some 'ref_or_null' accesses changed to 'range' because of cost
  adjustments (main.order_by)
- Added scan type "scan_with_join_cache" for optimizer_trace. This is
  just to show in the trace what kind of scan was used.
- When using 'scan_with_join_cache' take into account number of
  preceding tables (as have to restore all fields for all previous
  table combination when checking the where clause)
  The new cost added is:
  (row_combinations * ROW_COPY_COST * number_of_cached_tables).
  This increases the cost of join buffering in proportion of the
  number of tables in the join buffer. One effect is that full scans
  are now done earlier as the cost is then smaller.
  (main.join_outer_innodb, main.greedy_optimizer)
- Removed the usage of 'worst_seeks' in cost_for_index_read as it
  caused wrong plans to be created; It prefered JT_EQ_REF even if it
  would be much more expensive than a full table scan. A related
  issue was that worst_seeks only applied to full lookup, not to
  clustered or index only lookups, which is not consistent. This
  caused some plans to use index scan instead of eq_ref (main.union)
- Changed federated block size from 4096 to 1500, which is the
  typical size of an IO packet.
- Added costs for reading rows to Federated. Needed as there is no
  caching of rows in the federated engine.
- Added ha_innobase::rnd_pos_time() cost function.
- A lot of extra things added to optimizer trace
  - More costs, especially for materialization and index_merge.
  - Make lables more uniform
  - Fixed a lot of minor bugs
  - Added 'trace_started()' around a lot of trace blocks.
- When calculating ORDER BY with LIMIT cost for using an index
  the cost did not take into account the number of row retrivals
  that has to be done or the cost of comparing the rows with the
  WHERE clause. The cost calculated would be just a fraction of
  the real cost. Now we calculate the cost as we do for ranges
  and 'ref'.
- 'Using index for group-by' is used a bit more than before as
  now take into account the WHERE clause cost when comparing
  with 'ref' and prefer the method with fewer row combinations.
  (main.group_min_max).

Bugs fixed:
- Fixed that we don't calculate TIME_FOR_COMPARE twice for some plans,
  like in optimize_straight_join() and greedy_search()
- Fixed bug in save_explain_data where we could test for the wrong
  index when displaying 'Using index'. This caused some old plans to
  show 'Using index'.  (main.subselect_innodb, main.subselect2)
- Fixed bug in get_best_ror_intersect() where 'min_cost' was not
  updated, and the cost we compared with was not the one that was
  used.
- Fixed very wrong cost calculation for priority queues in
  check_if_pq_applicable(). (main.order_by now correctly uses priority
  queue)
- When calculating cost of EQ_REF or REF, we added the cost of
  comparing the WHERE clause with the found rows, not all row
  combinations. This made ref and eq_ref to be regarded way to cheap
  compared to other access methods.
- FORCE INDEX cost calculation didn't take into account clustered or
  covered indexes.
- JT_EQ_REF cost was estimated as avg_io_cost(), which is half the
  cost of a JT_REF key. This may be true for InnoDB primary key, but
  not for other unique keys or other engines. Now we use handler
  function to calculate the cost, which allows us to handle
  consistently clustered, covered keys and not covered keys.
- ha_start_keyread() didn't call extra_opt() if keyread was already
  enabled but still changed the 'keyread' variable (which is wrong).
  Fixed by not doing anything if keyread is already enabled.
- multi_range_read_info_cost() didn't take into account io_cost when
  calculating the cost of ranges.
- fix_semijoin_strategies_for_picked_join_order() used the wrong
  record_count when calling best_access_path() for SJ_OPT_FIRST_MATCH
  and SJ_OPT_LOOSE_SCAN.
- Hash joins didn't provide correct best_cost to the upper level, which
  means that the cost for hash_joins more expensive than calculated
  in best_access_path (a difference of 10x * TIME_OF_COMPARE).
  This is fixed in the new code thanks to that we now include
  TIME_OF_COMPARE cost in 'read_time'.

Other things:
- Added some 'if (thd->trace_started())' to speed up code
- Removed not used function Cost_estimate::is_zero()
- Simplified testing of HA_POS_ERROR in get_best_ror_intersect().
  (No cost changes)
- Moved ha_start_keyread() from join_read_const_table() to join_read_const()
  to enable keyread for all types of JT_CONST tables.
- Made a few very short functions inline in handler.h

Notes:
- In main.rowid_filter the join order of order and lineitem is swapped.
  This is because the cost of doing a range fetch of lineitem(98 rows) is
  almost as big as the whole join of order,lineitem. The filtering will
  also ensure that we only have to do very small key fetches of the rows
  in lineitem.
- main.index_merge_myisam had a few changes where we are now using
  less keys for index_merge. This is because index scans are now more
  expensive than before.
- handler->optimizer_cache_cost is updated in ha_external_lock().
  This ensures that it is up to date per statements.
  Not an optimal solution (for locked tables), but should be ok for now.
- 'DELETE FROM t1 WHERE t1.a > 0 ORDER BY t1.a' does not take cost of
  filesort into consideration when table scan is chosen.
  (main.myisam_explain_non_select_all)
- perfschema.table_aggregate_global_* has changed because an update
  on a table with 1 row will now use table scan instead of key lookup.

TODO in upcomming commits:
- Fix selectivity calculation for ranges with and without filtering and
  when there is a ref access but scan is chosen.
  For this we have to store the lowest known value for
  'accepted_records' in the OPT_RANGE structure.
- Change that records_read does not include filtered rows.
- test_if_cheaper_ordering() needs to be updated to properly calculate
  costs. This will fix tests like main.order_by_innodb,
  main.single_delete_update
- Extend get_range_limit_read_cost() to take into considering
  cost_for_index_read() if there where no quick keys. This will reduce
  the computed cost for ORDER BY with LIMIT in some cases.
  (main.innodb_ext_key)
- Fix that we take into account selectivity when counting the number
  of rows we have to read when considering using a index table scan to
  resolve ORDER BY.
- Add new calculation for rnd_pos_time() where we take into account the
  benefit of reading multiple rows from the same page.

956980971f Update cost for hash and cached joins
The old code did not't correctly add TIME_FOR_COMPARE to rows that are
part of the scan that will be compared with the attached where clause.

Now the cost calculation for hash join and full join cache join are
identical except for HASH_FANOUT (10%)

The cost for a join with keys is now also uniform.
The total cost for a using a key for lookup is calculated in one place as:

(cost_of_finding_rows_through_key(records) + records/TIME_FOR_COMPARE)*
record_count_of_previous_row_combinations + startup_cost

startup_cost is the cost of a creating a temporary table (if needed)

Best_cost now includes the cost of comparing all WHERE clauses and also
cost of joining with previous row combinations.

Other things:
- Optimizer trace is now printing the total costs, including testing the
  WHERE clause (TIME_FOR_COMPARE) and comparing with all previous rows.
- In optimizer trace, include also total cost of query together with the
  final join order. This makes it easier to find out where the cost was
  calculated.
- Old code used filter even if the cost for it was higher than not using a
  filter. This is not corrected.
- When rebasing on 10.11, I noticed some changes to access_cost_factor
  calculation. These changes was not picked as the coming changes
  to filtering will make that code obsolete.
