mark big_tables deprecated, the server can put temp tables on disk
as needed avoiding "table full" errors.
in case someone would really need to force a tmp table to be created
on disk from the start and for testing allow tmp_memory_table_size
to be set to 0.
fix tests to use that instead (and add a test that it actually
works).
make sure in-memory TREE size limit is never 0 (it's [ab]using
tmp_memory_table_size at the moment)
remove few sys_vars.*_basic tests
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
