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.
The bug allow multiple executing transactions working with non-transactional
to interfere with each others by interleaving the events of different trans-
actions.
Bug is fixed by writing non-transactional events to the transaction cache and
flushing the cache to the binary log at statement commit. To mimic the behavior
of normal statement-based replication, we flush the transaction cache in row-
based mode when there is no committed statements in the transaction cache,
which means we are committing the first one. This means that it will be written
to the binary log as a "mini-transaction" with just the rows for the statement.
Note that the changes here does not take effect when building the server with
HAVE_TRANSACTIONS set to false, but it is not clear if this was possible before
this patch either.
For row-based logging, we also have that when AUTOCOMMIT=1, the code now always
generates a BEGIN/COMMIT pair for single statements, or BEGIN/ROLLBACK pair in the
case of non-transactional changes in a statement that was rolled back. Note that
for the case where changes to a non-transactional table causes a rollback due
to error, the statement will now be logged with a BEGIN/ROLLBACK pair, even
though some changes has been committed to the non-transactional table.
