Shutdown of mtr tests may be too impatient, esp on CI environment where
10 seconds of `arg` of `shutdown_server arg` may not be enough for the clean
shutdown to complete.
This is fixed to remove explicit non-zero timeout argument to
`shutdown_server` from all mtr tests. mysqltest computes 60 seconds default
value for the timeout for the argless `shutdown_server` command.
This policy is additionally ensured with a compile time assert.
The combination of --remove_file and --write_file on .expect file creates
a race condition which can be hit by MTR which reads the file in a loop.
Instead, .expect file should be changed with --append_file.
It was fixed in 10.x, but in 5.5 the sporadic failure still affected buildbot.
Fixed 3 test files which use the problematic combination
- foreign_keys: adjusted according to code changes;
- type_spatial: adjusted according to code changes;
- type_spatial_indexes (for MyISAM): disabled till MDEV-8675 is fixed
With commit 227510e039 (parser cleanup: don't store field properties in LEX,
use Create_field directly) it became possible to create columns DOUBLE(0,0) and alike
The test complains that the server failed to disappear upon shutdown /
wait_for_disconnect. Trying to solve the probably race condition by
adding a wait before restart.
The slave dump thread running on the master only checked thd->killed whenever
it reached the end of a binlog file, not between events. This could
unnecessarily delay server shutdown.
This was found by code inspection while tracking down some occasional "forcing
close of thread..." errors in Buildbot. Hopefully this will fix the failures,
but the fix is correct in any case.
Also increase the wait during server shutdown, 2 seconds is a bit tight in
case of heavy I/O stall, and it seems better to delay shutdown a bit than
force-kill threads unnecessarily.
Also fix some races in test cases that restart the mysqld server. The .expect
file should be changed with --append_file, --remove_file + --write_file
creates a short window where mysqld can error out due to .expect file missing.
