This feature adds the functionality of ignorability for indexes.
Indexes are not ignored be default.
To control index ignorability explicitly for a new index,
use IGNORE or NOT IGNORE as part of the index definition for
CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, or ALTER TABLE.
Primary keys (explicit or implicit) cannot be made ignorable.
The table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS get a new column named IGNORED that
would store whether an index needs to be ignored or not.
There are two options when coping S3 tables with mysqldump
(there is startup option --copy_s3_tables, boolean, default no)
1) Ignore all tables with engine S3, as the data is already safe in S3 and any
computer where you restore the backup will automatically discover the S3 table.
2) Copy the table as a normal table with the following 2 changes:
- Change ENGINE=S3 to ENGINE=ARIA;
- After copy add to log 'ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE=S3'
