This patch adds the ability to store extra field metadata in the table
map event. This data can include pack_length() or field_lenght() for
fields such as CHAR or VARCHAR enabling developers to add code that
can check for compatibilty between master and slave columns. More
importantly, the extra field metadata can be used to store data from the
master correctly should a VARCHAR field on the master be <= 255 bytes
while the same field on the slave is > 255 bytes. '
The patch also includes the needed changes to unpack to ensure that data
which is smaller on the master can be unpacked correctly on the slave.
Since checking table compatibility before locking the table, there were
potential that a table could be locked that did not have a definition
that was compatible with the table on the slave.
This patch adds a check just after the table was locked to ensure that
the table is (still) compatible with the table on the slave.
Second patch to fix skipping code. Moving relay and binary log
position changing code from do_apply_event [old exec_event()] into
do_update_pos() and doing other changes necessary to support that.
Fixing a bug that can cause deadlock if rotating binary log when committing
a changes to a transactional table that is not inside a transaction and
cause a rotate log.
