KEY_MULTI_RANGE::range_flag does not have correct flag bits for
per-endpoint flags (NEAR_MIN, NEAR_MAX, NO_MIN_RANGE, NO_MAX_RANGE).
It only has bits for flags that describe both endpoints.
So
- Document this.
- Switch optimizer trace to using {start|end}_key.flag values, instead.
This fixes the bug.
- Switch records_in_column_ranges() to doing that too. (This used to
work, because KEY_MULTI_RANGE::range_flag had correct flag value
for the last key component, and EITS only uses one-component
pseudo-indexes)
The first patch for the bug was erroneous: it did not take into account
the fact that the modified function get_key_scans_params() was called in
different contexts. As a result the patch caused a regression bug MDEV-22191.
The patch for this bug introduced an extra parameter. Actually we can
do without this parameter and use the fourth parameter for the same
puropose - to differentiate between the calls of the function for range
access and for index merge access.
Also removed the call of get_key_scans_params() in the code of the function
merge_same_index_scans() as not needed.
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.
When index_merge_sort_union is turned off only ror scans were considered for range
scans, which is wrong.
To fix the problem ensure both ror scans and non ror scans are considered for range
access
SQL_SELECT::check_quick() returns error status only
test_quick_select() returns -1. Fix error handling when lower frames
throw error, but it is ignored by test_quick_select(). Fix return
status for out-of-memory errors which are obviously must be processed
as error in upper frames.
'index_merge_sort_union=off'
When index_merge_sort_union is set to 'off' and index_merge_union is set
to 'on' then any evaluated index merge scan must consist only of ROR scans.
The cheapest out of such index merges must be chosen. This index merge
might not be the cheapest index merge.
This bug could manifest itself in a very rare cases when the optimizer
chose an execution plan by which a joined table was accessed by a table
scan and the optimizer was checking whether ranges checked for each record
could improve this plan. In such cases the optimizer evaluates range
conditions over a table that depend on other tables. For such conditions
the constructed SEL_ARG trees are marked as MAYBE_KEY. If a SEL_ARG object
constructed for a sargable condition marked as RANGE_KEY had the same
first key part as a MAYBE_KEY SEL_ARG object and the key_and() function
was called for this pair of SEL_ARG objects then an invalid SEL_ARG
object could be constructed that ultimately could lead to a crash before
the execution phase.
'index_merge_sort_union=off'
When index_merge_sort_union is set to 'off' and index_merge_union is set
to 'on' then any evaluated index merge scan must consist only of ROR scans.
The cheapest out of such index merges must be chosen. This index merge
might not be the cheapest index merge.
The default keyread_time() was optimized for blocks and not suitable for
HEAP. The effect was the HEAP prefered table scans over ranges for btree
indexes.
Fixed also get_sweep_read_cost() for HEAP tables.
- Added unlikely() to optimize for not having optimizer trace enabled
- Made THD::trace_started() inline
- Added 'if (trace_enabled())' around some potentially expensive code
(not many found)
- Added ASSERT's to ensure we don't call expensive optimizer trace calls
if optimizer trace is not enabled
- Added length to Json_writer functions to speed up buffer writes
when optimizer trace is enabled.
- Changed LEX_CSTRING argument handling to not send full struct to writer
function on_add_str() functions now trusts length arguments
This patch fixes the following defects/bugs.
1. If BKA[H] algorithm was used to join a table for which the optimizer
had decided to employ a rowid filter the filter actually was not built.
2. The patch for the bug MDEV-21356 that added the code canceling pushing
rowid filter into an engine for the table joined with employment of
BKA[H] and MRR was not quite correct for Innodb engine because this
cancellation was done after InnoDB code had already bound the the pushed
filter to internal InnoDB structures.
[Variant 2 of the fix: collect the attached conditions]
Problem:
make_join_select() has a section of code which starts with
"We plan to scan all rows. Check again if we should use an index."
the code in that section will [unnecessarily] re-run the range
optimizer using this condition:
condition_attached_to_current_table AND current_table's_ON_expr
Note that the original invocation of range optimizer in
make_join_statistics was done using the whole select's WHERE condition.
Taking the whole select's WHERE condition and using multiple-equalities
allowed the range optimizer to infer more range restrictions.
The fix:
- Do range optimization using a condition that is an AND of this table's
condition and all of the previous tables' conditions.
- Also, fix the range optimizer to prefer SEL_ARGs with type=KEY_RANGE
over SEL_ARGS with type=MAYBE_KEY, regardless of the key part.
Computing
key_and(
SEL_ARG(type=MAYBE_KEY key_part=1),
SEL_ARG(type=KEY_RANGE, key_part=2)
)
will now produce the SEL_ARG with type=KEY_RANGE.
In the function test_if_cheaper_ordering we make a decision if using an index is better than
using filesort for ordering. If we chose to do range access then in test_quick_select we
should make sure that cost for table scan is set to DBL_MAX so that it is not picked.
selectivity values fails
After having set the assertion that checks validity of selectivity values
returned by the function table_cond_selectivity() a test case from
order_by.tesst failed. The failure occurred because range optimizer could
return as an estimate of the cardinality of the ranges built for an index
a number exceeding the total number of records in the table.
The second bug is more subtle. It may happen when there are several
indexes with same prefix defined on the first joined table t accessed by
a constant ref access. In this case the range optimizer estimates the
number of accessed records of t for each usable index and these
estimates can be different. Only the first of these estimates is taken
into account when the selectivity of the ref access is calculated.
However the optimizer later can choose a different index that provides
a different estimate. The function table_condition_selectivity() could use
this estimate to discount the selectivity of the ref access. This could
lead to an selectivity value returned by this function that was greater
that 1.
- Fix the LooseScan code to support storage engines that return
HA_ERR_END_OF_FILE if the index scan goes out of provided range
bounds
- Add a DBUG_EXECUTE_IF("force_group_by",...) to allow a test to
force a LooseScan
- Adjust rocksdb.group_min_max test not to use features not present
in MariaDB 10.2 (e.g. optimizer_trace. In MariaDB 10.4 it's present
but it doesn't meet the assumptions that the test makes about it
- Adjust the test result file:
= MariaDB doesn't support "Enhanced Loose Scan" that FB/MySQL has
= MariaDB has different cost calculations.
Introduced a print_key_value function to makes sure that the trace prints data in readable format
for readable characters and the rest of the characters are printed as hexadecimal.
Changed the function append_range_all_keyparts to use sel_arg_range_seq_init / sel_arg_range_seq_next to produce ranges.
Also adjusted to print format for the ranges, now the ranges are printed as:
(keypart1_min, keypart2_min,..) OP (keypart1_name,keypart2_name, ..) OP (keypart1_max,keypart2_max, ..)
Also added more tests for range and index merge access for optimizer trace
we had the statistics tables in the FROM list of the select.
The statistics for tables are not read in such cases, so we need
to check this case separately.
With MAX_INDEXIES=64(default), key_map=Bitmap<64> is just a wrapper around
ulonglong and thus "trivial" (can be bzero-ed, or memcpy-ed, and stays
valid still)
With MAX_INDEXES=128, key_map = Bitmap<128> is not a "trivial" type
anymore. The implementation uses MY_BITMAP, and MY_BITMAP contains pointers
which make Bitmap invalid, when it is memcpy-ed/bzero-ed.
The problem in 10.4 is that there are many new key_map members, inside TABLE
or KEY, and those are often memcopied and bzeroed
The fix makes Bitmap "trivial", by inlining most of MY_BITMAP functionality.
pointers/heap allocations are not used anymore.
Do not attempt to set param->table->with_impossible_ranges if the
range optimizer is using pseudo-indexes (which is true when we are
computing EITS selectivity estimates or doing partition pruning).
The MDEV-17262 commit 26432e49d3
was skipped. In Galera 4, the implementation would seem to require
changes to the streaming replication.
In the tests archive.rnd_pos main.profiling, disable_ps_protocol
for SHOW STATUS and SHOW PROFILE commands until MDEV-18974
has been fixed.
There were two newly enabled warnings:
1. cast for a function pointers. Affected sql_analyse.h, mi_write.c
and ma_write.cc, mf_iocache-t.cc, mysqlbinlog.cc, encryption.cc, etc
2. memcpy/memset of nontrivial structures. Fixed as:
* the warning disabled for InnoDB
* TABLE, TABLE_SHARE, and TABLE_LIST got a new method reset() which
does the bzero(), which is safe for these classes, but any other
bzero() will still cause a warning
* Table_scope_and_contents_source_st uses `TABLE_LIST *` (trivial)
instead of `SQL_I_List<TABLE_LIST>` (not trivial) so it's safe to
bzero now.
* added casts in debug_sync.cc and sql_select.cc (for JOIN)
* move assignment method for MDL_request instead of memcpy()
* PARTIAL_INDEX_INTERSECT_INFO::init() instead of bzero()
* remove constructor from READ_RECORD() to make it trivial
* replace some memcpy() with c++ copy assignments
