When the chosen execution plan accesses a join table employing a range
rowid filter a quick select to scan this range has to be built. This
quick select is built by a call of SQL_SELECT::test_quick_select().
At this call the function should allow to evaluate only single index
range scans. In order to be able to do this a new parameter was added
to this function.
This task involves the implementation for the optimizer trace.
This feature produces a trace for any SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/,
which contains information about decisions taken by the optimizer during
the optimization phase (choice of table access method, various costs,
transformations, etc). This feature would help to tell why some decisions were
taken by the optimizer and why some were rejected.
Trace is session-local, controlled by the @@optimizer_trace variable.
To enable optimizer trace we need to write:
set @@optimizer_trace variable= 'enabled=on';
To display the trace one can run:
SELECT trace FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
This task also involves:
MDEV-18489: Limit the memory used by the optimizer trace
introduces a switch optimizer_trace_max_mem_size which limits
the memory used by the optimizer trace. This was implemented by
Sergei Petrunia.
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
In the function QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::init_ror_merged_scan we create a seperate handler if the handler in
head->file cannot be reused. The flag free_file tells us if we have a seperate handler or not.
There are cases where you might create a handler and then there might be a failure(running ALTER)
and then we have to revert the handler back to the original one. The code does that
but it does not reset the flag 'free_file' in this case.
Also backported f2c418079d.
The problem here is EITS statistics does not calculate statistics for the partitions of the table.
So a temporary solution would be to not read EITS statistics for partitioned tables.
Also disabling reading of EITS for columns that participate in the partition list of a table.
In this case we were trying to access memory for key_parts which we did not
assign for a fields because it did not any EITS statistics.
The check if EITS statistics for a column is avaialable or not was missing.
main.derived_cond_pushdown: Move all 10.3 tests to the end,
trim trailing white space, and add an "End of 10.3 tests" marker.
Add --sorted_result to tests where the ordering is not deterministic.
main.win_percentile: Add --sorted_result to tests where the
ordering is no longer deterministic.
For index merge union[or sort union], the estimates are not taken into account while calculating the selectivity of
a condition. So instead of showing the estimates of the index merge union[or sort union], it shows estimates equal to
all the records of the table.
The fix for the issue is to include the selectivity of index merge
union[or sort union] while calculating the selectivity of a condition.
optimizer_use_condition_selectivity>=3
Selectivity analysis should be disabled for Geometrical columns
for the case like geometric_field= string_constant.
Currently for selectivity calculation we perform range analysis for a column even when we don't have any statistics(EITS).
This makes less sense but is used to catch contradiction for WHERE condition.
So the solution is to not perform range analysis for selectivity calculation for columns that do not have statistics.
and use_stat_tables= PREFERABLY
Currently the code that calculates selectivity for a table does not take into account the case when
we can have GROUP BY optimization (looses index scan).
This patch introduces support for the system variable eq_range_index_dive_limit
that existed in MySQL starting from 5.6. The variable sets a limit for
index dives into equality ranges. Index dives are performed by optimizer
to estimate the number of rows in range scans. Index dives usually provide
good estimate but they are pretty expensive. To estimate the number of rows
in equality ranges statistical data on indexes can be employed. Its usage gives
not so good estimates but it's cheap. So if the number of equality dives
required by an index scan exceeds the set limit no dives for equality
ranges are performed by the optimizer for this index.
As the new system variable is introduced in a stable version the default
value for it is set to a special value meaning there is no limit for the number
of index dives performed by the optimizer.
The patch partially uses the MySQL code for WL 5957
'Statistics-based Range optimization for many ranges'.
