Revert the patch for MDEV-9504.
It causes test failures, attempt to fix these causes more failures. The
source of all this is that the code in test_if_skip_sort_order() has
a peculiar way of treating select_limit parameter:
Correct value is computed when the query plan is changed. In other cases,
we use an approximation that ignores the presence of GROUP BY clause,
or JOINs, or both.
A patch that fixes all of the above would be too big to do in 10.1
- Legacy code would set JOIN_TAB::limit only for EXPLAIN queries (this
variable is only used when producing EXPLAIN output)
- ANALYZE/SHOW EXPLAIN need to produce EXPLAIN output for non-EXPLAIN
queries, too, so we should always set JOIN_TAB::limit.
Undo the change in test_if_skip_sort_order() that set ref_key=-1 when
a variant of index_merge is used (was made in fix for MDEV-9021).
It turned out that test_if_cheaper_ordering() call below assumes that
ref_key=-1 means "no index is used", that is, "an inefficient full table
scan is done".
This is not the same as index_merge, index_merge can actually be quite
efficient. So, ref_key=MAX_KEY denotes the fact that some index is used,
not any given index.
that was mistakenly merged from mysql-5.5.47
(introduces valgrind failures in main.sp, because Field_varstring
columns are created as FIELD_NORMAL and that causes aria to
read bytes between the actual value length and field max length)
The bitmap implementation defines two template Bitmap classes. One
optimized for 64-bit (default) wide bitmaps while the other is used for
all other widths.
In order to optimize the computations, Bitmap<64> class has defined its
own member functions for bitmap operations, the other one, however,
relies on mysys' bitmap implementation (mysys/my_bitmap.c).
Issue 1:
In case of non 64-bit Bitmap class, intersect() wrongly reset the
received bitmap while initialising a new local bitmap structure
(bitmap_init() clears the bitmap buffer) thus, the received bitmap was
getting cleared.
Fixed by initializing the local bitmap structure by using a temporary
buffer and later copying the received bitmap to the initialised bitmap
structure.
Issue 2:
The non 64-bit Bitmap class had the Iterator missing which caused
compilation failure.
Also added a cmake variable to hold the MAX_INDEXES value when supplied
from the command prompt. (eg. cmake .. -DMAX_INDEXES=128U). Checks have
been put in place to trigger build failure if MAX_INDEXES value is
greater than 128.
Test modifications:
* Introduced include/have_max_indexes_[64|128].inc to facilitate
skipping of tests for which the output differs with different
MAX_INDEXES.
* Introduced include/max_indexes.inc which would get modified by cmake
to reflect the MAX_INDEXES value used to build the server. This file
simply sets an mtr variable '$max_indexes' to show the MAX_INDEXES
value, which will then be consumed by the above introduced include file.
* Some tests (portions), dependent on MAX_INDEXES value, have been moved
to separate test files.
Issue
-----
This problem occurs when varchar columns are used in a
internal temporary table. The type of the field is set
incorrectly to the generic FIELD_NORMAL type. This in turn
results in an inaccurate calculation of the record length.
Valgrind issues will occur since initialization has not
happend for some bytes.
Fix
----
While creating the temporary table, the type of the field
needs to be to set FIELD_VARCHAR. This will allow myisam
to calculate the record length accurately.
This fix is a backport of BUG#13350136.
The problem was that GROUP BY code created Item_field objects
that referred to fields in the temp. tables used for GROUP BY.
Item_ref and set_items_ref_array() call caused pointers to temp.
table fields to occur in many places.
This patch introduces Item_temptable_field, which can handle
item->print() calls made after the underlying table is freed.
The assumption is that the engine should not need to
evaluate HAVING on the table->record[0] - the engine either
can evaluate HAVING internally before writing it to the
table->record[0], or it should leave it to the server,
that will evaluate HAVING(table->record[0]).
Similarly the engine should not need to evaluate ORDER
on the table->record[0]. Either it returns the data already
sorted, or the server will sort the table.
This task is to allow storage engines that can execute GROUP BY or
summary queries efficiently to intercept a full query or sub query from
MariaDB and deliver the result either to the client or to a temporary
table for further processing.
- Added code in sql_select.cc to intercept GROUP BY queries.
Creation of group_by_handler is done after all optimizations to allow
storage engine to benefit of an optimized WHERE clause and suggested
indexes to use.
- Added group by handler to sequence engine and a group_by test suite as
a way to test the new interface.
- Intercept EXPLAIN with a message "Storage engine handles GROUP BY"
libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt:
Added new group_by_handler files
sql/CMakeLists.txt:
Added new group_by_handler files
sql/group_by_handler.cc:
Implementation of group_by_handler functions
sql/group_by_handler.h:
Definition of group_by_handler class
sql/handler.h:
Added handlerton function to create a group_by_handler, if the storage
engine can intercept the query.
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
Allow one to evaluate item_equal any time.
sql/sql_select.cc:
Added code to intercept GROUP BY queries
- If all tables are from the same storage engine and the query is
using sum functions, call create_group_by() to check if the storage
engine can intercept the query.
- If yes:
- create a temporary table to hold a GROUP_BY row or result
- In do_select() intercept normal query execution by instead
calling the group_by_handler to get the result
- Intercept EXPLAIN
sql/sql_select.h:
Added handling of group_by_handler
Added caching of the original join tab (needed for cleanup after
group_by handler)
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.result:
Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/mysql-test/sequence/group_by.test:
Test group_by_handler interface
storage/sequence/sequence.cc:
Added simple group_by_engine for handling COUNT(*) and
SUM(primary_key). This was done as a test of the group_by_handler
interface
UPDATE VIEW USING OUTER SUBQUERY
Issue:
-----
While resolving a column which refers to a table/view in an
outer query, it's respecitve item object is marked with the
outer query's select_lex object. But when the column refers
to a view or if the column is part of a subquery in the
HAVING clause, an Item_ref object is created. While the
reference to the outer query is stored by the Item_ref
object, the same is not stored in it's real_item.
This creates a problem with the IN-TO-EXISTS optmization.
When there is an index over the column in the inner query,
it will be considered since the column's real_item object
will be mistaken for a local field. This will lead to a
crash.
SOLUTION:
---------
Under the current design, the only way to fix this issue is
to check the reginfo.join_tab for a NULL value. If yes, the
query should not be worrying about the key use.
The testcase and comments added as part of the fix for
Bug#17766653 have been backported.
