temp table
This patch introduces two key changes in the replication's behavior.
Firstly, it reverts part of BUG#51894 which puts any update to temporary tables
into the trx-cache. Now, updates to temporary tables are handled according to
the type of their engines as a regular table.
Secondly, an unsafe mixed statement, (i.e. a statement that access transactional
table as well non-transactional or temporary table, and writes to any of them),
are written into the trx-cache in order to minimize errors in the execution when
the statement logging format is in use.
Such changes has a direct impact on which statements are classified as unsafe
statements and thus part of BUG#53259 is reverted.
Clarified error messages related to unsafe statements:
- avoid the internal technical term "row injection"
- use 'binary log' instead of 'binlog'
- avoid the word 'unsafeness'
transaction
BUG#52616 Temp table prevents switch binlog format from STATEMENT to ROW
Before the WL#2687 and BUG#46364, every non-transactional change that happened
after a transactional change was written to trx-cache and flushed upon
committing the transaction. WL#2687 and BUG#46364 changed this behavior and
non-transactional changes are now written to the binary log upon committing
the statement.
A binary log event is identified as transactional or non-transactional through
a flag in the Log_event which is set taking into account the underlie storage
engine on what it is stems from. In the current bug, this flag was not being
set properly when the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE was executed.
However, while fixing this bug we figured out that changes to temporary tables
should be always written to the trx-cache if there is an on-going transaction.
Otherwise, binlog events in the reversed order would be produced.
Regarding concurrency, keeping changes to temporary tables in the trx-cache is
also safe as temporary tables are only visible to the owner connection.
In this patch, we classify the following statements as unsafe:
1 - INSERT INTO t_myisam SELECT * FROM t_myisam_temp
2 - INSERT INTO t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_myisam
3 - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_myisam
On the other hand, the following statements are classified as safe:
1 - INSERT INTO t_innodb SELECT * FROM t_myisam_temp
2 - INSERT INTO t_myisam_temp SELECT * FROM t_innodb
The patch also guarantees that transactions that have a DROP TEMPORARY are
always written to the binary log regardless of the mode and the outcome:
commit or rollback. In particular, the DROP TEMPORARY is extended with the
IF EXISTS clause when the current statement logging format is set to row.
Finally, the patch allows to switch from STATEMENT to MIXED/ROW when there
are temporary tables but the contrary is not possible.
In auto-commit mode, updating both trx and non-trx tables (i.e. issuing a mixed
statement) causes the following sequence of events:
1 - "Flush trx changes" (MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write) - T1:
1.1 - mutex_lock (&LOCK_log)
1.2 - mutex_lock (&LOCK_prep_xids)
1.3 - increase prepared_xids
1.4 - mutex_unlock (&LOCK_prep_xids)
1.5 - mutex_unlock (&LOCK_log)
2 - "Flush non-trx changes" (MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write) - T1:
2.1 - mutex_lock (&LOCK_log)
2.2 - mutex_unlock (&LOCK_log)
3. "unlog" - T1
3.1 - mutex_lock (&LOCK_prep_xids)
3.2 - decrease prepared xids
3.3 - pthread_cond_signal(&COND_prep_xids);
3.4 - mutex_unlock (&LOCK_prep_xids)
The "FLUSH logs" command produces the following sequence of events:
1 - "FLUSH logs" command (MYSQL_BIN_LOG::new_file_impl) - user thread:
1.1 - mutex_lock (&LOCK_log)
1.2 - mutex_lock (&LOCK_prep_xids)
1.3 - while (prepared_xids) pthread_cond_wait(..., &LOCK_prep_xids);
1.4 - mutex_unlock (&LOCK_prep_xids)
1.5 - mutex_unlock (&LOCK_log)
A deadlock will arise if T1 flushes the trx changes and thus increases
prepared_xids but before it is able to continue the execution and flush the
non-trx changes, an user thread calls the "FLUSH logs" command and wait that
the prepared_xids is decreased and gets to zero. However, T1 cannot proceed
with the call to "Flush non-trx changes" because it will block in the mutex
"LOCK_log" and by consequence cannot complete the execution and call the
unlog to decrease the prepared_xids.
To fix the problem, we ensure that the non-trx changes are always flushed
before the trx changes.
Note that if you call "Flush non-trx changes" and a concurrent "FLUSH logs" is
issued, the "Flush non-trx changes" may block, but a deadlock will never happen
because the prepared_xids will eventually get to zero. Bottom line, there will
not be any transaction able to increase the prepared_xids because they will
block in the mutex "LOCK_log" (MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write) and those that increased
the prepared_xids will eventually commit and decrease the prepared_xids.
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.
