The variable controls the amount of sampling analyze table performs.
If ANALYZE table with histogram collection is too slow, one can reduce the
time taken by setting analyze_sample_percentage to a lower value of the
total number of rows.
Setting it to 0 will use a formula to compute how many rows to sample:
The number of rows collected is capped to a minimum of 50000 and
increases logarithmically with a coffecient of 4096. The coffecient is
chosen so that we expect an error of less than 3% in our estimations
according to the paper:
"Random Sampling for Histogram Construction: How much is enough?”
– Surajit Chaudhuri, Rajeev Motwani, Vivek Narasayya, ACM SIGMOD, 1998.
The drawback of sampling is that avg_frequency number is computed
imprecisely and will yeild a smaller number than the real one.
Change the defaults:
-histogram_size=0
+histogram_size=254
-histogram_type=SINGLE_PREC_HB
+histogram_type=DOUBLE_PREC_HB
Adjust the testcases:
- Some have ignorable changes in EXPLAIN outputs and
more counter increments due to EITS table reads.
- Testcases that meaningfully depend on the old defaults
are changed to use the old values.
Condition can be pushed from the HAVING clause into the WHERE clause
if it depends only on the fields that are used in the GROUP BY list
or depends on the fields that are equal to grouping fields.
Aggregate functions can't be pushed down.
How the pushdown is performed on the example:
SELECT t1.a,MAX(t1.b)
FROM t1
GROUP BY t1.a
HAVING (t1.a>2) AND (MAX(c)>12);
=>
SELECT t1.a,MAX(t1.b)
FROM t1
WHERE (t1.a>2)
GROUP BY t1.a
HAVING (MAX(c)>12);
The implementation scheme:
1. Extract the most restrictive condition cond from the HAVING clause of
the select that depends only on the fields that are used in the GROUP BY
list of the select (directly or indirectly through equalities)
2. Save cond as a condition that can be pushed into the WHERE clause
of the select
3. Remove cond from the HAVING clause if it is possible
The optimization is implemented in the function
st_select_lex::pushdown_from_having_into_where().
New test file having_cond_pushdown.test is created.
Global variable wsrep_debug now can be used to filter wsrep-lib messages based on debug level provided.
Type of wsrep_debug is now set to be unsigned int, so tests and configuration files changed accordingly.
This task involves the implementation for the optimizer trace.
This feature produces a trace for any SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/,
which contains information about decisions taken by the optimizer during
the optimization phase (choice of table access method, various costs,
transformations, etc). This feature would help to tell why some decisions were
taken by the optimizer and why some were rejected.
Trace is session-local, controlled by the @@optimizer_trace variable.
To enable optimizer trace we need to write:
set @@optimizer_trace variable= 'enabled=on';
To display the trace one can run:
SELECT trace FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
This task also involves:
MDEV-18489: Limit the memory used by the optimizer trace
introduces a switch optimizer_trace_max_mem_size which limits
the memory used by the optimizer trace. This was implemented by
Sergei Petrunia.
The second line of changes related to replacing xtrabackup with
mariabackup:
1) All unnecessary references to xtrabackup are removed from
the documentation, from some comments, from the control files
that are used to prepare the packages.
2) Made corrections of the tests from the galera_3nodes suite
that mentioned xtrabackup or the old (associated with xtrabackup)
version of innobackupex.
3) Fixed flaws in the galera_3nodes mtr suite control scripts,
because of which they could not work with mariabackup.
4) Fixed numerous bugs in the SST scripts and in the mtr test
files (galera_3nodes mtr suite) that prevented the use of Galera
with IPv6 addresses.
5) Fixed flaws in tests for rsync and mysqldump (for galera_3nodes
mtr tests suite). These tests were not performed successfully without
these fixes.

Part of MDEV-5336 Implement LOCK FOR BACKUP
- Changed check of Global_only_lock to also include BACKUP lock.
- We store latest MDL_BACKUP_DDL lock in thd->mdl_backup_ticket to be able
to downgrade lock during copy_data_between_tables()
Added to new values to the server variable use_stat_tables.
The values are COMPLEMENTARY_FOR_QUERIES and PREFERABLY_FOR_QUERIES.
Both these values don't allow to collect EITS for queries like
analyze table t1;
To collect EITS we would need to use the syntax with persistent like
analyze table t1 persistent for columns (col1,col2...) index (idx1, idx2...) / ALL
Changing the default value from NEVER to PREFERABLY_FOR_QUERIES.
This patch changes how old rows in mysql.gtid_slave_pos* tables are deleted.
Instead of doing it as part of every replicated transaction in
record_gtid(), it is done periodically (every @@gtid_cleanup_batch_size
transaction) in the slave background thread.
This removes the deletion step from the replication process in SQL or worker
threads, which could speed up replication with many small transactions. It
also decreases contention on the global mutex LOCK_slave_state. And it
simplifies the logic, eg. when a replicated transaction fails after having
deleted old rows.
With this patch, the deletion of old GTID rows happens asynchroneously and
slightly non-deterministic. Thus the number of old rows in
mysql.gtid_slave_pos can temporarily exceed @@gtid_cleanup_batch_size. But
all old rows will be deleted eventually after sufficiently many new GTIDs
have been replicated.
This is used for controlling whether to use a new/optimized
certification rules or the old/classic ones that could cause more
certification failures - when foreign keys are used and two INSERTs are
done concurrently to the child table from different nodes.
