InnoDB engine changes internal auto_increment counter only after
ha_innodb::write_row, so two threads can't simultaneously
operate between ha_innodb::update_autoincrement and
ha_innodb::write_row.
So concurrent execution of ha_partition::write_row prevented
mysql_load calls hander::start_bulk_insert(0) to prepare caches
for big inserts. As ha_partition didn't allow these caches
for underlaying tables, the inserts were much slower
"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.
Before the fix:
ha_partition objects had ha_partition::m_part_info==NULL and that caused
crash
After:
- The new ha_partition::clone() function makes the clones use parent's
m_part_info value.
- The parent ha_partition object remains responsible for deallocation of
m_part_info.
index_read(), index_read_idx(), index_read_last(), and
records_in_range() - instead of 'uint keylen' argument take
'ulonglong keypart_map', a bitmap showing which keyparts are
present in the key value.
Fallback method is provided for handlers that are lagging behind.
Removed a lot of compiler warnings
Removed not used variables, functions and labels
Initialize some variables that could be used unitialized (fatal bugs)
%ll -> %l
Subselect's engine checks table->status field to determine if the
record was properly found when we use keyread upon the table.
Partition engine checks all the partitions for given key
before return. So if matching record was found in the first
partition and no matching records were found in the second,
we have table->status == NOT_FOUND after the function, what
makes subselects to skip matching records.
The patch adds table->status= 0 if we actually found something.
Added missing DBUG_RETURN statements (in mysqldump.c)
Added missing enums
Fixed a lot of wrong DBUG_PRINT() statements, some of which could cause crashes
Removed usage of %lld and %p in printf strings as these are not portable or produces different results on different systems.
In practice this means that handlerton is now created by the server and is passed to the engine. Plugin startups can now also control how plugins are inited (and can optionally pass values). Bit more flexibility to those who want to write plugin interfaces to the database.
setup 'share' struct for all partiton file elements. It's neccessary because we use
m_file[0]->update_create_info(create_info) during ha_partition::update_create_info
and 'share' for m_file[0] should be valid
