BUG#46364 MyISAM transbuffer problems (NTM problem)
It is well-known that due to concurrency issues, a slave can become
inconsistent when a transaction contains updates to both transaction and
non-transactional tables.
In a nutshell, the current code-base tries to preserve causality among the
statements by writing non-transactional statements to the txn-cache which
is flushed upon commit. However, modifications done to non-transactional
tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible to other
connections but may not immediately get into the binary log and therefore
consistency may be broken.
In general, it is impossible to automatically detect causality/dependency
among statements by just analyzing the statements sent to the server. This
happen because dependency may be hidden in the application code and it is
necessary to know a priori all the statements processed in the context of
a transaction such as in a procedure. Moreover, even for the few cases that
we could automatically address in the server, the computation effort
required could make the approach infeasible.
So, in this patch we introduce the option
- "--binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates" that can be used to bypass
the current behavior in order to write directly to binary log statements
that change non-transactional tables.
Besides, it is used to enable the WL#2687 which is disabled by default.

the current behavior in order to write directly to binary log statements
that change non-transactional tables.
Besides, it is used to enable the WL#2687 which is disabled by default.
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.
In STATEMENT based replication, a statement that failed on the master but that
updated non-transactional tables is written to binary log with the error code
appended to it. On the slave, the statement is executed and the same error is
expected. However, when an "expected error" did not happen on the slave and was
either ignored or was related to a concurrency issue on the master, the slave
did not rollback the effects of the statement and as such inconsistencies might
happen.
To fix the problem, we automatically rollback a statement that should have
failed on a slave but succeded and whose expected failure is either ignored or
stems from a concurrency issue on the master.
binlog
The fix for BUG 43929 introduced a regression issue. In a nutshell, when a
statement that changes a non-transactional table fails, it is written to the
binary log with the error code appended. Unfortunately, after BUG 43929, this
failure was flushing the transactional chace causing mismatch between execution
and logging histories. To fix this issue, we avoid flushing the transactional
cache when a commit or rollback is not issued.
timeout
In STMT and MIXED modes, a statement that changes both non-transactional and
transactional tables must be written to the binary log whenever there are
changes to non-transactional tables. This means that the statement gets into the
binary log even when the changes to the transactional tables fail. In particular
, in the presence of a failure such statement is annotated with the error number
and wrapped in a begin/rollback. On the slave, while applying the statement, it
is expected the same failure and the rollback prevents the transactional changes
to be persisted.
Unfortunately, statements that fail due to concurrency issues (e.g. deadlocks,
timeouts) are logged in the same way causing the slave to stop as the statements
are applied sequentially by the SQL Thread. To fix this bug, we automatically
ignore concurrency failures on the slave. Specifically, the following failures
are ignored: ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT, ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and ER_XA_RBDEADLOCK.
