Major replication test framework cleanup. This does the following:
- Ensure that all tests clean up the replication state when they
finish, by making check-testcase check the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
This implies:
- Slave must not be running after test finished. This is good
because it removes the risk for sporadic errors in subsequent
tests when a test forgets to sync correctly.
- Slave SQL and IO errors must be cleared when test ends. This is
good because we will notice if a test gets an unexpected error in
the slave threads near the end.
- We no longer have to clean up before a test starts.
- Ensure that all tests that wait for an error in one of the slave
threads waits for a specific error. It is no longer possible to
source wait_for_slave_[sql|io]_to_stop.inc when there is an error
in one of the slave threads. This is good because:
- If a test expects an error but there is a bug that causes
another error to happen, or if it stops the slave thread without
an error, then we will notice.
- When developing tests, wait_for_*_to_[start|stop].inc will fail
immediately if there is an error in the relevant slave thread.
Before this patch, we had to wait for the timeout.
- Remove duplicated and repeated code for setting up unusual replication
topologies. Now, there is a single file that is capable of setting
up arbitrary topologies (include/rpl_init.inc, but
include/master-slave.inc is still available for the most common
topology). Tests can now end with include/rpl_end.inc, which will clean
up correctly no matter what topology is used. The topology can be
changed with include/rpl_change_topology.inc.
- Improved debug information when tests fail. This includes:
- debug info is printed on all servers configured by include/rpl_init.inc
- User can set $rpl_debug=1, which makes auxiliary replication files
print relevant debug info.
- Improved documentation for all auxiliary replication files. Now they
describe purpose, usage, parameters, and side effects.
- Many small code cleanups:
- Made have_innodb.inc output a sensible error message.
- Moved contents of rpl000017-slave.sh into rpl000017.test
- Added mysqltest variables that expose the current state of
disable_warnings/enable_warnings and friends.
- Too many to list here: see per-file comments for details.
Clarified error messages related to unsafe statements:
- avoid the internal technical term "row injection"
- use 'binary log' instead of 'binlog'
- avoid the word 'unsafeness'
transaction
BUG#52616 Temp table prevents switch binlog format from STATEMENT to ROW
Before the WL#2687 and BUG#46364, every non-transactional change that happened
after a transactional change was written to trx-cache and flushed upon
committing the transaction. WL#2687 and BUG#46364 changed this behavior and
non-transactional changes are now written to the binary log upon committing
the statement.
A binary log event is identified as transactional or non-transactional through
a flag in the Log_event which is set taking into account the underlie storage
engine on what it is stems from. In the current bug, this flag was not being
set properly when the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE was executed.
However, while fixing this bug we figured out that changes to temporary tables
should be always written to the trx-cache if there is an on-going transaction.
Otherwise, binlog events in the reversed order would be produced.
Regarding concurrency, keeping changes to temporary tables in the trx-cache is
also safe as temporary tables are only visible to the owner connection.
In this patch, we classify the following statements as unsafe:
1 - INSERT INTO t_myisam SELECT * FROM t_myisam_temp
2 - INSERT INTO t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_myisam
3 - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_myisam
On the other hand, the following statements are classified as safe:
1 - INSERT INTO t_innodb SELECT * FROM t_myisam_temp
2 - INSERT INTO t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_innodb
The patch also guarantees that transactions that have a DROP TEMPORARY are
always written to the binary log regardless of the mode and the outcome:
commit or rollback. In particular, the DROP TEMPORARY is extended with the
IF EXISTS clause when the current statement logging format is set to row.
Finally, the patch allows to switch from STATEMENT to MIXED/ROW when there
are temporary tables but the contrary is not possible.
Linux x86_64 debug
Two test cases fail because the suppression for the unsafe
warning needs to be updated (BUG@39934 refactored this part and
these changes are only in mysql-next-mr - this is why we notice
them now when merging in next-mr). This is the case for
rpl_nondeterministic_functions and rpl_misc_functions test
cases. rpl_stm_binlog_direct test case is not needed in version >
5.1. The rpl_heartbeat_basic test case fails because patch for
BUG@50397 removed the CHANGE MASTER in the slave that would set
it's period to 1/10 of the master. This would cause the test
assertion to fail.
The fixes for the issues described above are:
- rpl_misc_functions - updated suppression message
- rpl_nondeterministic_functions - updated suppression message
- rpl_stm_binlog_direct - removed the test case (it is not
needed in versions > 5.1)
- rpl_heartbeat_basic - deployed instruction:
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HEARTBEAT_PERIOD=0.1;
Problem: When RAND() is binlogged in statement mode, the seed is
binlogged too, so the replication slave generates the same
sequence of random numbers. This makes replication work in many
cases, but not in all cases: the order of rows is not guaranteed
for, e.g., UPDATE or INSERT...SELECT statements, so the row data
will be different if master and slave retrieve the rows in
different orders.
Fix: Mark RAND() as unsafe. It will generate a warning if
binlog_format=STATEMENT and switch to row-logging if
binlog_format=ROW.
