This allows one to run the test suite even if any of the following
options are changed:
- character-set-server
- collation-server
- join-cache-level
- log-basename
- max-allowed-packet
- optimizer-switch
- query-cache-size and query-cache-type
- skip-name-resolve
- table-definition-cache
- table-open-cache
- Some innodb options
etc
Changes:
- Don't print out the value of system variables as one can't depend on
them to being constants.
- Don't set global variables to 'default' as the default may not
be the same as the test was started with if there was an additional
option file. Instead save original value and reset it at end of test.
- Test that depends on the latin1 character set should include
default_charset.inc or set the character set to latin1
- Test that depends on the original optimizer switch, should include
default_optimizer_switch.inc
- Test that depends on the value of a specific system variable should
set it in the test (like optimizer_use_condition_selectivity)
- Split subselect3.test into subselect3.test and subselect3.inc to
make it easier to set and reset system variables.
- Added .opt files for test that required specfic options that could
be changed by external configuration files.
- Fixed result files in rockdsb & tokudb that had not been updated for
a while.
Table_open_cache gets adjusted on server startup to prevent an out of
file descriptor error. However this means that when we reset its value
to default, it does not get re-adjusted. This leads to the mtr
consistency check to fail with different server status at the end of the
test case as opposed to when it started.
To fix the problem, do not make use of the DEFAULT keyword to set the
variable back, instead save the value before any modifications and
restore it from there.
AVOID DEADLOCK AFTER RESTORE
Analysis
--------
Accessing the restored NDB table in an active multi-statement
transaction was resulting in deadlock found error.
MySQL Server needs to discover metadata of NDB table from
data nodes after table is restored from backup. Metadata
discovery happens on the first access to restored table.
Current code mandates this statement to be the first one
in the transaction. This is because discover needs exclusive
metadata lock on the table. Lock upgrade at this point can
lead to MDL deadlock and the code was written at the time
when MDL deadlock detector was not present. In case when
discovery attempted in the statement other than the first
one in transaction ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is reported
pessimistically.
Fix:
---
Removed the constraint as any potential deadlock will be
handled by deadlock detector. Also changed code in discover
to keep metadata locks of active transaction.
Same issue was present in table auto repair scenario. Same
fix is added in repair path also.
