Problem : The basic problem is the way the thread sleeps in mysql-5.5 and also in mysql-5.1
when we execute a stop slave on windows platform.
On windows platform if the stop slave is executed after the master dies, we have
this long wait before the stop slave return a value. This is because there is a
sleep of the thread. The sleep is uninterruptable in the two above version,
which was fixed by Davi patch for the BUG#11765860 for mysql-trunk. Backporting
his patch for mysql-5.5 fixes the problem.
Solution : A new pair of mutex and condition variable is introduced to synchronize thread
sleep and finalization. A new mutex is required because the slave threads are
terminated while holding the slave thread locks (run_lock), which can not be
relinquished during termination as this would affect the lock order.
Non-transactional updates that take place inside a transaction present problems
for logging because they are visible to other clients before the transaction
is committed, and they are not rolled back even if the transaction is rolled
back. It is not always possible to log correctly in statement format when both
transactional and non-transactional tables are used in the same transaction.
In the current patch, we ensure that such scenario is completely safe under the
ROW and MIXED modes.
Bug#319 if while a non-transactional slave is replicating a transaction possible problem
It is impossible to roll back a mixed engines transaction when one of the engine is
non-transaction. In replication that fact is crucial because the slave can not safely
re-apply a transction that was interrupted with STOP SLAVE.
Fixed with making STOP SLAVE not be effective immediately in the case the current
group of replication events has modified a non-transaction table. In order for slave to leave
either the group needs finishing or the user issues KILL QUERY|CONNECTION slave_thread_id.
