ha_heap::external_lock contains some consistency checks for the table,#
in a debug compilation.
This code suffers from lack of synchronization, in a rare case
where mysql_lock_tables() fail, and unlock is forced, even if lock was
not previously taken.
To workaround, require EXTRA_DEBUG compile definition in order to activate
the consistency checks.The code still might be useful in some cases - but
the audience are developers looking for errors in single-threaded scenarios,
rather than multiuser stress-tests.
I_S tables were materialized too late, an attempt to use table
statistics before the table was created caused a crash.
Let's move table creation up. it only needs read_set to
be calculated properly, this happens in JOIN::optimize_inner(),
after semijoin transformation.
Note that tables are not populated at that point, so most of the
statistics would make no sense anyway. But at least field sizes
will be correct. And it won't crash.
`ha_heap::clone` was creating a handler by share's handlerton, which is
partition handlerton.
handler's handlerton should be used instead.
Here in particular, HEAP handlerton will be used and it will create ha_heap
handler.
Reimplement MDEV-14275 Improving memory utilization for information schema
Postpone temp table instantiation until after setup_fields().
Replace all unused (not marked in read_set) columns in an I_S table
with CHAR(0). This can drastically reduce the footprint of a MEMORY
table (a TABLE_CATALOG alone is 1538 bytes per row).
This does not change the engine. If the table was decided to be Aria
(because of, say, blobs) then after optimization it'll stay Aria
even if all blobs were removed.
Note 1: when transforming table structure, share->blob_fields is
preserved, otherwise Aria might switch from DYNAMIC to STATIC row format
and expect a special field for a deleted mark, which create_tmp_tabe
didn't provide.
Note 2: optimizer was doing handler::info() (to know the number of rows)
before the temp table is populated. That didn't make much sense. Now
it's done before the table is even instantiated. Preserve the old
behavior and report 0 rows.
This reverts e2664ee836 and a8458a2345
TDC_RT_REMOVE_ALL -> tdc_remove_table(). Some occurrences replaced with
TDC_element::flush() (whenver TABLE_SHARE is available).
TDC_RT_REMOVE_NOT_OWN[_KEEP_SHARE] -> TDC_element::flush(). These modes
assume that current thread owns TABLE_SHARE reference, which means we can
avoid hash lookup and flush unused TABLE instances directly.
TDC_RT_REMOVE_UNUSED -> TDC_element::flush_unused(). Only [ab]used by
mysql_admin_table() currently. Should be removed eventually.
Part of MDEV-17882 - Cleanup refresh version
Prototype change:
- virtual ha_rows records_in_range(uint inx, key_range *min_key,
- key_range *max_key)
+ virtual ha_rows records_in_range(uint inx, const key_range *min_key,
+ const key_range *max_key,
+ page_range *res)
The handler can ignore the page_range parameter. In the case the handler
updates the parameter, the optimizer can deduce the following:
- If previous range's last key is on the same block as next range's first
key
- If the current key range is in one block
- We can also assume that the first and last block read are cached!
This can be used for a better calculation of IO seeks when we
estimate the cost of a range index scan.
The parameter is fully implemented for MyISAM, Aria and InnoDB.
A separate patch will update handler::multi_range_read_info_const() to
take the benefits of this change and also remove the double
records_in_range() calls that are not anymore needed.
In debug build, whenever MEMORY table instance gets closed it performs
consistency check without protection. It may cause server crash if
executed concurrently with DML.
Moved consistency check to ha_heap::external_lock(F_UNLCK), so that it
is protected by THR_LOCK.
MDEV-19486 and one more similar bug appeared because handler::write_row() interface
welcomes to modify buffer by storage engine. But callers are not ready for that
thus bugs are possible in future.
handler::write_row():
handler::ha_write_row(): make argument const
instrument table->record[0], table->record[1] and share->default_values.
One should not access record image beyond share->reclength, even
if table->record[0] has some unused space after it (functions that
work with records, might get a copy of the record as an argument,
and that copy - not being record[0] - might not have this buffer space
at the end). See b80fa4000d and 444587d8a3
MEMORY engine needs the record length to be at least sizeof(void*),
because it stores a pointer there (linking deleted records into a list).
So when the reclength is less than sizeof(void*), it's set to sizeof(void*).
That is done inside heap_create(), and the upper layer doesn't know
that the engine writes beyond share->reclength.
While it's usually safe (in-memory record size is rounded up to
sizeof(double), so even if share->reclength is too small,
share->rec_buff_len is not), it could cause problems in the code that
copies records and expects them to fix in share->reclength,
e.g. in partitioning.
