Almost all threads have gone
- the "ticking" threads, that sleep a while then do some work)
(srv_monitor_thread, srv_error_monitor_thread, srv_master_thread)
were replaced with timers. Some timers are periodic,
e.g the "master" timer.
- The btr_defragment_thread is also replaced by a timer , which
reschedules it self when current defragment "item" needs throttling
- the buf_resize_thread and buf_dump_threads are substitutes with tasks
Ditto with page cleaner workers.
- purge workers threads are not tasks as well, and purge cleaner
coordinator is a combination of a task and timer.
- All AIO is outsourced to tpool, Innodb just calls thread_pool::submit_io()
and provides the callback.
- The srv_slot_t was removed, and innodb_debug_sync used in purge
is currently not working, and needs reimplementation.
* remove old 5.2+ InnoDB support for virtual columns
* enable corresponding parts of the innodb-5.7 sources
* copy corresponding test cases from 5.7
* copy detailed Alter_inplace_info::HA_ALTER_FLAGS flags from 5.7
- and more detailed detection of changes in fill_alter_inplace_info()
* more "innodb compatibility hooks" in sql_class.cc to
- create/destroy/reset a THD (used by background purge threads)
- find a prelocked table by name
- open a table (from a background purge thread)
* different from 5.7:
- new service thread "thd_destructor_proxy" to make sure all THDs are
destroyed at the correct point in time during the server shutdown
- proper opening/closing of tables for vcol evaluations in
+ FK checks (use already opened prelocked tables)
+ purge threads (open the table, MDLock it, add it to tdc, close
when not needed)
- cache open tables in vc_templ
- avoid unnecessary allocations, reuse table->record[0] and table->s->default_values
- not needed in 5.7, because it overcalculates:
+ tell the server to calculate vcols for an on-going inline ADD INDEX
+ calculate vcols for correct error messages
* update other engines (mroonga/tokudb) accordingly
