Default STARTS rounding depending on INTERVAL type
If STARTS clause is omitted, default one is assigned with value
derived from query timestamp. The rounding is done on STARTS value
depending on INTERVAL type:
SECOND: no rounding is done;
MINUTE: timestamp seconds is set to 0;
HOUR: timestamp seconds and minutes are set to 0;
DAY, WEEK, MONTH and YEAR: timestamp seconds, minutes and hours are
set to 0 (the date of rotation is kept as current date).
SYSTEM_TYPE partitioning: COLUMN properties removed. Partitioning is
now pure RANGE based on UNIX_TIMESTAMP(row_end).
DECIMAL type is now allowed as RANGE partitioning, we can partition by
UNIX_TIMESTAMP() (but not for DATETIME which depends on local timezone
of course).
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.
Lots of changes:
* calculate the current history partition in ::external_lock(),
not in ::write_row() or ::update_row()
* remove dynamically collected per-partition row_end stats
* no full table scan in open_table_from_share to calculate these
stats, no manual MDL/thr_locks in open_table_from_share
* no shared stats in TABLE_SHARE = no mutexes or condition waits when
calculating current history partition
* always compare timestamps, don't convert them to MYSQL_TIME
(avoid DST ambiguity, and it's faster too)
* correct interval handling, 1 month = 1 month, not 30 * 24 * 3600 seconds
* save/restore first partition start time, and count intervals from there
* only allow to drop first partitions if INTERVAL
* when adding new history partitions, split the data in the last history
parition, if it was overflowed
* show partition boundaries in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS
partition_info had a bunch of function pointers to avoid if()'s
when invoking part_type specific functionality (like get_part_id, etc).
But check_range_constants() and check_list_constants() were still
invoked conditionally, with if()'s.
Create partition_info::check_constants function pointer, get rid
of if()'s
Also remove alloc argument of check_range_constants(), added
in 26a3ff0a22. Broken system versioning will be fixed in
following commits.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
Now we don't open partitions if it was explicitly cpecified.
ha_partition::m_opened_partition bitmap added to track
partitions that were actually opened.
* based on RANGE pruning by COLUMNS (sys_trx_end) condition
* removed DEFAULT; AS OF NOW is always last; current VERSIONING as last non-empty (or first empty)
* Min/Max stats in TABLE_SHARE
* ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION adds before AS OF NOW partition
* one `AS OF NOW`, multiple `VERSIONING` partitions;
* rotation of `VERSIONING` partitions by record count, time period;
* rotation is multi-threaded;
* conventional subpartitions as bottom level for versioned partitions;
* `DEFAULT` keyword selects first `VERSIONING` partition;
* ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP partition;
* REBUILD PARTITION basic operation.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
