The assertion failed in handler::ha_reset upon SELECT under
READ UNCOMMITTED from table with index on virtual column.
This was the debug-only failure, though the problem is mush wider:
* MY_BITMAP is a structure containing my_bitmap_map, the latter is a raw
bitmap.
* read_set, write_set and vcol_set of TABLE are the pointers to MY_BITMAP
* The rest of MY_BITMAPs are stored in TABLE and TABLE_SHARE
* The pointers to the stored MY_BITMAPs, like orig_read_set etc, and
sometimes all_set and tmp_set, are assigned to the pointers.
* Sometimes tmp_use_all_columns is used to substitute the raw bitmap
directly with all_set.bitmap
* Sometimes even bitmaps are directly modified, like in
TABLE::update_virtual_field(): bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) is called.
The last three bullets in the list, when used together (which is mostly
always) make the program flow cumbersome and impossible to follow,
notwithstanding the errors they cause, like this MDEV-17556, where tmp_set
pointer was assigned to read_set, write_set and vcol_set, then its bitmap
was substituted with all_set.bitmap by dbug_tmp_use_all_columns() call,
and then bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) was applied to all this.
To untangle this knot, the rule should be applied:
* Never substitute bitmaps! This patch is about this.
orig_*, all_set bitmaps are never substituted already.
This patch changes the following function prototypes:
* tmp_use_all_columns, dbug_tmp_use_all_columns
to accept MY_BITMAP** and to return MY_BITMAP * instead of my_bitmap_map*
* tmp_restore_column_map, dbug_tmp_restore_column_maps to accept
MY_BITMAP* instead of my_bitmap_map*
These functions now will substitute read_set/write_set/vcol_set directly,
and won't touch underlying bitmaps.
The issue here is when records are read from the temporary file
(filesort result in this case) via a cache(rr_from_cache).
The cache is initialized with init_rr_cache.
For correlated subquery the cache allocation is happening at each execution
of the subquery but the deallocation happens only once and that was
when the query execution was done.
So generally for subqueries we do two types of cleanup
1) Full cleanup: we should free all resources of the query(like temp tables).
This is done generally when the query execution is complete or the subquery
re-execution is not needed (case with uncorrelated subquery)
2) Partial cleanup: Minor cleanup that is required if
the subquery needs recalculation. This is done for all the structures that
need to be allocated for each execution (example SORT_INFO for filesort
is allocated for each execution of the correlated subquery).
The fix here would be free the cache used by rr_from_cache in the partial
cleanup phase.
A temporary table is needed for window function computation but if only a NAMED WINDOW SPEC
is used and there is no window function, then there is no need to create a temporary
table as there is no stage to compute WINDOW FUNCTION
The issue here is for degenerate joins we should execute the window
function but it is not getting executed in all the cases.
To get the window function values window function needs to be executed
always. This currently does not happen in few cases
where the join would return 0 or 1 row like
1) IMPOSSIBLE WHERE
2) MIN/MAX optimization
3) EMPTY CONST TABLE
The fix is to make sure that window functions get executed
and the temporary table is setup for the execution of window functions
best_access_path() is called from two optimization phases:
1. Plan choice phase, in choose_plan(). Here, the join prefix being
considered is in join->positions[]
2. Plan refinement stage, in fix_semijoin_strategies_for_picked_join_order
Here, the join prefix is in join->best_positions[]
It used to access join->positions[] from stage #2. This didnt cause any
valgrind or asan failures (as join->positions[] has been written-to before)
but the effect was similar to that of reading the random data:
The join prefix we've picked (in join->best_positions) could have
nothing in common with the join prefix that was last to be considered
(in join->positions).
There were two newly enabled warnings:
1. cast for a function pointers. Affected sql_analyse.h, mi_write.c
and ma_write.cc, mf_iocache-t.cc, mysqlbinlog.cc, encryption.cc, etc
2. memcpy/memset of nontrivial structures. Fixed as:
* the warning disabled for InnoDB
* TABLE, TABLE_SHARE, and TABLE_LIST got a new method reset() which
does the bzero(), which is safe for these classes, but any other
bzero() will still cause a warning
* Table_scope_and_contents_source_st uses `TABLE_LIST *` (trivial)
instead of `SQL_I_List<TABLE_LIST>` (not trivial) so it's safe to
bzero now.
* added casts in debug_sync.cc and sql_select.cc (for JOIN)
* move assignment method for MDL_request instead of memcpy()
* PARTIAL_INDEX_INTERSECT_INFO::init() instead of bzero()
* remove constructor from READ_RECORD() to make it trivial
* replace some memcpy() with c++ copy assignments
The issue here is that the window function execution is not called for the correct join tab, when we have GROUP BY
where we create extra temporary tables then we need to call window function execution for the last join tab. For doing
so the current code does not take into account the JOIN::aggr_tables.
Fixed by introducing a new function JOIN::total_join_tab_cnt that takes in account the temporary tables also.
The assertion failure was caused by an incorrectly set read_set for
functions in the ORDER BY clause in part of a union, when we are using
a mergeable view and the order by clause can be skipped (removed).
An order by clause can be skipped if it's part of one part of the UNION as
the result set is not meaningful when multiple SELECT queries are UNIONed. The
server is aware of this optimization and tries to remove the order by
clause before JOIN::prepare. The problem is that we need to throw an
error when the ORDER BY clause contains invalid columns. To do this, we
attempt resolving the ORDER BY expressions, then subsequently drop them
if resolution succeeded. However, ORDER BY resolution had the side
effect of adding the expressions to the all_fields list, which is used
to construct temporary tables to store the result. We may be ignoring
the ORDER BY statement, but the tmp table still tried to compute the
values for the expressions, even if the columns are never used.
The assertion only shows itself if the order by clause contains members
which were not previously in the select list, and are part of a
function.
There is an additional question as to why this only manifests when using
VIEWS and not when using a regular table. The difference lies with the
"reset" of the read_set for the temporary table during
SELECT_LEX::update_used_tables() in JOIN::optimize(). The changes
introduced in fdf789a7ea cleared the
read_set when a mergeable view is encountered in the TABLE_LIST
defintion.
Upon initial order_list resolution, the table's read_set is updated
correctly. JOIN::optimize() will only reset the read_set if it
encounters a VIEW. Since we no longer have ORDER BY clause in
JOIN::optimize() we never get to correctly update the read_set again.
Other relevant commit by Timour, which first introduced the order
resolution when we "can_skip_sort_order":

Solution:
Don't add the resolved ORDER BY elements to all_fields. We only resolve
them to check if an error should be returned for the query. Ignore them
completely otherwise.

The fix is actually a port of the fix for bug #17055185 from
mysql code line (see commit f289aeeef0743508ff87211084453b3b88a6d017
by Mithun C Y into mysql-5.6). The test case for the bug #17055185
was also ported.
If the optimizer chose an execution plan where
a semi-join nest were materialized and the
result of materialization was scanned to access
other tables by ref access it could build a key
over columns of the tables from the nest that
were actually inaccessible.
The patch performs a proper check whether a key
that uses columns of the tables from a materialized
semi-join nest can be employed to access outer tables.
The usage of windows functions when all tables were optimized away
by min/max optimization were not supported. As result a result,
the queries that used window functions with min/max aggregation
over the whole table returned wrong result sets.
The patch fixed this problem.
Define my_thread_id as an unsigned type, to avoid mismatch with
ulonglong. Change some parameters to this type.
Use size_t in a few more places.
Declare many flag constants as unsigned to avoid sign mismatch
when shifting bits or applying the unary ~ operator.
When applying the unary ~ operator to enum constants, explictly
cast the result to an unsigned type, because enum constants can
be treated as signed.
In InnoDB, change the source code line number parameters from
ulint to unsigned type. Also, make some InnoDB functions return
a narrower type (unsigned or uint32_t instead of ulint;
bool instead of ibool).
The issue was that JOIN::rollup_write_data() used
JOIN::tmp_table_param::[start_]recinfo, which had uninitialized data.
These fields have uninitialized data, because JOIN::tmp_table_param
currently only stores some grouping-related data fields. The data about
the work (temporary) tables themselves is stored in
join->join_tab[...].tmp_table_param.
The fix is to make JOIN::rollup_write_data follow this convention
and look at the right TMP_TABLE_PARAM object
JOIN_CACHE's were initialized in check_join_cache_usage()
from make_join_readinfo(). After that make_join_readinfo() was looking
whether it's possible to use keyread. Later, after make_join_readinfo(),
optimizer decided whether to use filesort. And even later, at the
execution time, from join_read_first(), keyread was actually enabled.
The problem is, that if a query uses a vcol, base columns that it
depends on are automatically added to the read_set - because they're
needed to calculate the vcol. But if we're doing keyread, vcol is taken
from the index, not calculated, and base columns do not need to be
in the read set (even should not be - as they aren't getting values).
The bug was that JOIN_CACHE used read_set with base columns,
they were not read because of keyread, so it was caching garbage.
So read_set is only known after the keyread was decided. And after the
filesort was decided, as filesort doesn't use keyread. But
check_join_cache_usage() needs to be done in make_join_readinfo(),
as the code below depends on these checks,
Fix: keep JOIN_CACHE checks where they were, but move initialization
down to the very end of JOIN::optimize_inner. If keyread was enabled,
update the read_set to include only columns that are part of the index.
Copy the keyread logic from join_read_first() to happen at optimize time.
- Tabular EXPLAIN now prints "RECURSIVE UNION".
- There is a basic implementation of EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON.
- it produces "recursive_union" JSON struct
- No other details or ANALYZE support, yet.
Temporary tables created for recursive CTE
were instantiated at the prepare phase. As
a result these temporary tables missed
indexes for look-ups and optimizer could not
use them.
Variant #4 of the fix.
Make ORDER BY optimization functions take into account multiple
equalities. This is done in several places:
- remove_const() checks whether we can sort the first table in the
join, or we need to put rows into temp.table and then sort.
- test_if_order_by_key() checks whether there are indexes that
can be used to produce the required ordering
- make_unireg_sortorder() constructs sort criteria for filesort.
This bug revealed a serious problem: if the same partition list
was used in two window specifications then the temporary table created
to calculate window functions contained fields for two identical
partitions. This problem was fixed as well.
- Rename Window_funcs_computation to Window_funcs_computation_step
- Introduce Window_func_sort which invokes filesort and then
invokes computation of all window functions that use this ordering.
- Expose Window functions' sort operations in EXPLAIN|ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
