IN TIME RECOVERY FAILURE ON SLAVES
Problem:
DROP TEMP TABLE IF EXISTS commands can cause point
in time recovery (re-applying binlog) failures.
Analyses:
In RBR, 'DROP TEMPORARY TABLE' commands are
always binlogged by adding 'IF EXISTS' clauses.
Also, the slave SQL thread will not check replicate.* filter
rules for "DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS" queries.
If log-slave-updates is enabled on slave, these queries
will be binlogged in the format of "USE `db`;
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS `t1`;" irrespective
of filtering rules and irrespective of the `db` existence.
When users try to recover slave from it's own binlog,
use `db` command might fail if `db` is not present on slave.
Fix:
At the time of writing the 'DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
IF EXISTS' query into the binlog, 'use `db`' will not be
present and the table name in the query will be a fully
qualified table name.
Eg:
'USE `db`; DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS `t1`;'
will be logged as
'DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS `db`.`t1`;'.
PROPERLY QUOTED IN BINLOG FILE
Problem: In load data file query, User variables are allowed
inside "Into_list" and "Set_list". These user variables used
inside these two lists are not properly guarded with backticks
while server is writting into binlog. Hence user variable names
like a` cannot be used in this context.
Fix: Properly quote these variables while
writting into binlog
The test, binlog.binlog_spurious_ddl_errors was failing on pb2 at the statement
"UNINSTALL PLUGIN example;" with this warning:
"Warning 1620 Plugin is busy and will be uninstalled on shutdown "
Fix
Spurious warnings occur in the test since we do not empty the Query cache,
used by the example plugin at the time of creating tables using the plugin.
Hence, the query chache is flushed before uninstalling the plugin.
Also, as part of running the test across platforms, the plugin installation
script is changed.
When a binlog is replayed into a server, e.g.:
$ mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql
it sets a pseudo slave mode on the client connection in order to server
be able to read binlog events, there is, a format description event is
needed to correctly read following events.
Also this pseudo slave mode applies to the current connection
replication rules that are needed to correctly apply binlog events.
If a binlog dump is sourced on a connection, this pseudo slave mode will
remains after it, what will apply unexpected rules from customer
perspective to following commands.
Added a new SET statement to binlog dump that will unset pseudo slave
mode at the end of dump file.
main.mysqlbinlog_row_innodb are skipped by mtr
=== Problem ===
The following tests are wrongly placed in main suite and as a
result these are not run with proper binlog format combinations.
Some are always skipped by mtr.
1) mysqlbinlog_row_myisam
2) mysqlbinlog_row_innodb
3) mysqlbinlog_row.test
4) mysqlbinlog_row_trans.test
5) mysqlbinlog-cp932
6) mysqlbinlog2
7) mysqlbinlog_base64
=== Background ===
mtr runs the tests placed in main suite with binlog format=stmt.
Those that need to be tested against binlog format=row or mixed
or more than one binlog format and require only one mysql server
are placed in binlog suite. mtr runs tests in binlog suite with
all three binlog formats(stmt,row and mixed).
=== Fix ===
1) Moved the test listed in problem section above to binlog suite.
2) Added prefix "binlog_" to the name of each test case moved.
Renamed the coresponding result files and option files accordingly.
QUOTING IN REPLICATION
Problem: Misquoting or unquoted identifiers may lead to
incorrect statements to be logged to the binary log.
Fix: we use specialized functions to append quoted identifiers in
the statements generated by the server.
Currently SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS require the SUPER
privilege. Monitoring tools (such as MEM) often want to check this
output - for instance MEM generates the SUM of the sizes of the logs
reported here, and puts that in the Replication overview within the MEM
Dashboard.
However, because of the SUPER requirement, these tools often have an
account that holds open the connection whilst monitoring, and can lock
out administrators when the server gets overloaded and reaches
max_connections - there is already another SUPER privileged account
connected, the "monitor".
As SHOW MASTER STATUS, and all other replication related statements,
return with either REPLICATION CLIENT or SUPER privileges, this worklog
is to make SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS be consistent with this
as well, and allow both of these commands with either SUPER or
REPLICATION CLIENT.
This allows monitoring tools to not require a SUPER privilege any more,
so is safer in overloaded situations, as well as being more secure, as
lighter privileges can be given to users of such tools or scripts.
Description: When the table has more than one unique or primary key,
INSERT... ON DUP KEY UPDATE statement is sensitive to the order in which
the storage engines checks the keys. Depending on this order, the storage
engine may determine different rows to mysql, and hence mysql can update
different rows on master and slave.
Solution: We mark INSERT...ON DUP KEY UPDATE on a table with more than on unique
key as unsafe therefore the event will be logged in row format if it is available
(ROW/MIXED). If only STATEMENT format is available, a warning will be thrown.
Analysis:
========================
sql_mode "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES": When user want to use backslash as character input,
instead of escape character in a string literal then sql_mode can be set to
"NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES". With this mode enabled, backslash becomes an ordinary
character like any other.
SQL_MODE set applies to the current client session. And while creating the stored
procedure, MySQL stores the current sql_mode and always executes the stored
procedure in sql_mode stored with the Procedure, regardless of the server SQL
mode in effect when the routine is invoked.
In the scenario (for which bug is reported), the routine is created with
sql_mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES. And routine is executed with the invoker sql_mode
is "" (NOT SET) by executing statement "call testp('Axel\'s')".
Since invoker sql_mode is "" (NOT_SET), the '\' in 'Axel\'s'(argument to function)
is considered as escape character and column "a" (of table "t1") values are
updated with "Axel's". The binary log generated for above update operation is as below,
set sql_mode=XXXXXX (for no_backslash_escapes)
update test.t1 set a= NAME_CONST('var',_latin1'Axel\'s' COLLATE 'latin1_swedish_ci');
While logging stored procedure statements, the local variables (params) used in
statements are replaced with the NAME_CONST(var_name, var_value) (Internal function)
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/miscellaneous-functions.html#function_name-const)
On slave, these logs are applied. NAME_CONST is parsed to get the variable and its
value. Since, stored procedure is created with sql_mode="NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES", the sql_mode
is also logged in. So that at slave this sql_mode is set before executing the statements
of routine. So at slave, sql_mode is set to "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES" and then while
parsing NAME_CONST of string variable, '\' is considered as NON ESCAPE character
and parsing reported error for "'" (as we have only one "'" no backslash).
At slave, parsing was proper with sql_mode "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES".
But above error reported while writing bin log, "'" (of Axel's) is escaped with
"\" character. Actually, all special characters (n, r, ', ", \, 0...) are escaped
while writing NAME_CONST for string variable(param, local variable) in bin log
Airrespective of "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES" sql_mode. So, basically, the problem is
that logging string parameter does not take into account sql_mode value.
Fix:
========================
So when sql_mode is set to "NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES", escaping characters as
(n, r, ', ", \, 0...) should be avoided. To do so, added a check to not to
escape such characters while writing NAME_CONST for string variables in bin
log.
And when sql_mode is set to NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES, quote character "'" is
represented as ''.

ways to include quote characters within a string: )
Problem: Statements that write to tables with auto_increment columns
based on the selection from another table, may lead to master
and slave going out of sync, as the order in which the rows
are retrieved from the table may differ on master and slave.
Solution: We mark writing to a table with auto_increment table
based on the rows selected from another table as unsafe. This
will cause the execution of such statements to throw a warning
and forces the statement to be logged in ROW if the logging
format is mixed.
Changes:
1. All the statements that writes to a table with auto_increment
column(s) based on the rows fetched from another table, will now
be unsafe.
2. CREATE TABLE with SELECT will now be unsafe.

Problem: The following statements can cause the slave to go out of sync
if logged in statement format:
INSERT IGNORE...SELECT
INSERT ... SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
REPLACE ... SELECT
UPDATE IGNORE :
CREATE ... IGNORE SELECT
CREATE ... REPLACE SELECT
Background: Since the order of the rows returned by the SELECT
statement or otherwise may differ on master and slave, therefore
the above statements may cuase the salve to go out of sync with
the master.
Fix:
Issue a warning when statements like the above are exectued and
the bin-logging format is statement. If the logging format is mixed,
use row based logging. Marking a statement as unsafe has been
done in the sql/sql_parse.cc instead of sql/sql_yacc.cc, because while
parsing for a token has been done we cannot be sure if the parsing
of the other tokens has been done as well.
Six new warning messages has been added for each unsafe statement.
binlog.binlog_unsafe.test has been updated to incoporate these additional unsafe statments.

Problem: MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs acquires mutexes in wrong order.
The correct order is first LOCK_thread_count and then LOCK_log. This function
does it the other way around. This leads to deadlock when run in parallel
with a thread that takes the two locks in correct order. For example, a thread
that disconnects will take the locks in the correct order.
Fix: change order of the locks in MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs:
first LOCK_thread_count and then LOCK_log.
This assert could be triggered during two phase commit if binary
log was used as transaction coordinator log. The triggered assert
checks that the same number of transaction IDs are processed in
the prepare and commit phases.
The reason it was triggered, was that the transaction consisted
of an INSERT/UPDATE IGNORE that had an ignorable error. Since it
had an error, no row log events were made and therefore
prepared_xids was 0. However, since it was an IGNORE statement,
the statement started a read/write statement transaction, committed
it and completed successfully.
This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the assert to take
this possibility into account.
Test case added to binlog.binlog_innodb_row.test.
If LOAD DATA INFILE featured a SET clause, the name=value pairs
would be regenerated using item::print. Unfortunately, that code
is mostly optimized for EXPLAIN EXTENDED output and such, and can
not be relied on to return valid SQL.
We now name each value its original, user-supplied form and use
that to create LOAD DATA INFILE statements for statement-based
replication.
FAILED DROP DATABASE CAN BREAK STATEMENT BASED REPLICATION
The first phase of DROP DATABASE is to delete the tables in the database.
If deletion of one or more of the tables fail (e.g. due to a FOREIGN KEY
constraint), DROP DATABASE will be aborted. However, some tables could
still have been deleted. The problem was that nothing would be written
to the binary log in this case, so any slaves would not delete these tables.
Therefore the master and the slaves would get out of sync.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that DROP TABLE is written
to the binary log for the tables that were in fact deleted by the failed
DROP DATABASE statement.
Test case added to binlog.binlog_database.test.
Problem: Warnings for truncated data were generated on hosts with
long host names because @@hostname was inserted into a CHAR(40) column.
Fix: Change CHAR(40) to TEXT.
Major replication test framework cleanup. This does the following:
- Ensure that all tests clean up the replication state when they
finish, by making check-testcase check the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
This implies:
- Slave must not be running after test finished. This is good
because it removes the risk for sporadic errors in subsequent
tests when a test forgets to sync correctly.
- Slave SQL and IO errors must be cleared when test ends. This is
good because we will notice if a test gets an unexpected error in
the slave threads near the end.
- We no longer have to clean up before a test starts.
- Ensure that all tests that wait for an error in one of the slave
threads waits for a specific error. It is no longer possible to
source wait_for_slave_[sql|io]_to_stop.inc when there is an error
in one of the slave threads. This is good because:
- If a test expects an error but there is a bug that causes
another error to happen, or if it stops the slave thread without
an error, then we will notice.
- When developing tests, wait_for_*_to_[start|stop].inc will fail
immediately if there is an error in the relevant slave thread.
Before this patch, we had to wait for the timeout.
- Remove duplicated and repeated code for setting up unusual replication
topologies. Now, there is a single file that is capable of setting
up arbitrary topologies (include/rpl_init.inc, but
include/master-slave.inc is still available for the most common
topology). Tests can now end with include/rpl_end.inc, which will clean
up correctly no matter what topology is used. The topology can be
changed with include/rpl_change_topology.inc.
- Improved debug information when tests fail. This includes:
- debug info is printed on all servers configured by include/rpl_init.inc
- User can set $rpl_debug=1, which makes auxiliary replication files
print relevant debug info.
- Improved documentation for all auxiliary replication files. Now they
describe purpose, usage, parameters, and side effects.
- Many small code cleanups:
- Made have_innodb.inc output a sensible error message.
- Moved contents of rpl000017-slave.sh into rpl000017.test
- Added mysqltest variables that expose the current state of
disable_warnings/enable_warnings and friends.
- Too many to list here: see per-file comments for details.
Post-push fixes:
- fixed platform dependent result files
- appeasing valgrind warnings:
Fault injection was also uncovering a previously existing
potential mem leaks. For BUG#46166 testing purposes, fixed
by forcing handling the leak when injecting faults.
