The purpose of the change buffer was to reduce random disk access,
which could be useful on rotational storage, but maybe less so on
solid-state storage.
When we wished to
(1) insert a record into a non-unique secondary index,
(2) delete-mark a secondary index record,
(3) delete a secondary index record as part of purge (but not ROLLBACK),
and the B-tree leaf page where the record belongs to is not in the buffer
pool, we inserted a record into the change buffer B-tree, indexed by
the page identifier. When the page was eventually read into the buffer
pool, we looked up the change buffer B-tree for any modifications to the
page, applied these upon the completion of the read operation. This
was called the insert buffer merge.
We remove the change buffer, because it has been the source of
various hard-to-reproduce corruption bugs, including those fixed in
commit 5b9ee8d819 and
commit 165564d3c3 but not limited to them.
A downgrade will fail with a clear message starting with
commit db14eb16f9 (MDEV-30106).
buf_page_t::state: Merge IBUF_EXIST to UNFIXED and
WRITE_FIX_IBUF to WRITE_FIX.
buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove.
trx_t: Move isolation_level, check_foreigns, check_unique_secondary,
bulk_insert into the same bit-field. The only purpose of
trx_t::check_unique_secondary is to enable bulk insert into an
empty table. It no longer enables insert buffering for UNIQUE INDEX.
btr_cur_t::thr: Remove. This field was originally needed for change
buffering. Later, its use was extended to cover SPATIAL INDEX.
Much of the time, rtr_info::thr holds this field. When it does not,
we will add parameters to SPATIAL INDEX specific functions.
ibuf_upgrade_needed(): Check if the change buffer needs to be updated.
ibuf_upgrade(): Merge and upgrade the change buffer after all redo log
has been applied. Free any pages consumed by the change buffer, and
zero out the change buffer root page to mark the upgrade completed,
and to prevent a downgrade to an earlier version.
dict_load_tablespaces(): Renamed from
dict_check_tablespaces_and_store_max_id(). This needs to be invoked
before ibuf_upgrade().
btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos(): Specialize for use in persistent statistics.
The change buffer merge does not need this function anymore.
btr_page_alloc(): Renamed from btr_page_alloc_low(). We no longer
allocate any change buffer pages.
btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos(): Specialize for use in persistent statistics.
The change buffer merge does not need this function anymore.
row_search_index_entry(), btr_lift_page_up(): Add a parameter thr
for the SPATIAL INDEX case.
rtr_page_split_and_insert(): Specialized from btr_page_split_and_insert().
rtr_root_raise_and_insert(): Specialized from btr_root_raise_and_insert().
Note: The support for upgrading from the MySQL 3.23 or MySQL 4.0
change buffer format that predates the MySQL 4.1 introduction of
the option innodb_file_per_table was removed in MySQL 5.6.5
as part of mysql/mysql-server@69b6241a79
and MariaDB 10.0.11 as part of 1d0f70c2f8.
In the tests innodb.log_upgrade and innodb.log_corruption, we create
valid (upgraded) change buffer pages.

Before commit 6112853cda in MySQL 4.1.1
introduced the parameter innodb_file_per_table, all InnoDB data was
written to the InnoDB system tablespace (often named ibdata1).
A serious design problem is that once the system tablespace has grown to
some size, it cannot shrink even if the data inside it has been deleted.
There are also other design problems, such as the server hang MDEV-29930
that should only be possible when using innodb_file_per_table=0 and
innodb_undo_tablespaces=0 (storing both tables and undo logs in the
InnoDB system tablespace).
The parameter innodb_change_buffering was deprecated
in commit b5852ffbee.
Starting with commit baf276e6d4
(MDEV-19229) the number of innodb_undo_tablespaces can be increased,
so that the undo logs can be moved out of the system tablespace
of an existing installation.
If all these things (tables, undo logs, and the change buffer) are
removed from the InnoDB system tablespace, the only variable-size
data structure inside it is the InnoDB data dictionary.
DDL operations on .ibd files was optimized in
commit 86dc7b4d4c (MDEV-24626).
That should have removed any thinkable performance advantage of
using innodb_file_per_table=0.
Since there should be no benefit of setting innodb_file_per_table=0,
the parameter should be deprecated. Starting with MySQL 5.6 and
MariaDB Server 10.0, the default value is innodb_file_per_table=1.
mysql_discard_or_import_tablespace(): On successful
ALTER TABLE...DISCARD TABLESPACE, evict the table handle from the
table definition cache, so that ha_innobase::close() will be invoked,
like InnoDB expects to be the case. This will avoid an assertion failure
ut_a(table->get_ref_count() == 0) during IMPORT TABLESPACE.
ha_innobase::open(): Do not issue any ER_TABLESPACE_DISCARDED warning.
Member functions for DML will do that.
ha_innobase::truncate(), ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter():
Issue ER_TABLESPACE_DISCARDED warnings, to compensate for the removal of
the warning in ha_innobase::open().
row_quiesce_write_indexes(): Only write information about committed
indexes. The ALTER TABLE t NOWAIT ADD INDEX(c) in the nondeterministic
test case will most of the time fail due to a metadata lock (MDL) timeout
and leave behind an uncommitted index.

Some builders in our CI, most notably FreeBSD and IBM AIX, do not support
sparse files. Also, Microsoft Windows requires special means for creating
sparse files. Since these platforms do not run ./mtr --big-test, we will
for now simply move the test to a separate file that requires that option.
- Information_schema.innodb_tablespaces_encryption should print
undo tablespace name as innodb_undo001, innodb_undo002 and soon.
- Encryption test should include undo tablespaces count when
the tests are waiting for the condition to check whether all
tables are encrypted or decrypted.
recv_log_recover_10_4(): Widen the operand of bitwise and to 64 bits,
so that the upgrade check will work when the redo log record is located
more than 4 gigabytes from the start of the first file.
The log overwrite warnings are not being reliably emitted in all
debug-instrumented environments. It may be related to the
scheduling of some InnoDB internal activity, such as the purging
of committed transaction history.
The InnoDB write-ahead log ib_logfile0 is of fixed size,
specified by innodb_log_file_size. If the tail of the log
manages to overwrite the head (latest checkpoint) of the log,
crash recovery will be broken.
Let us clarify the messages about this, including adding
a message on the completion of a log checkpoint that notes
that the dangerous situation is over.
To reproduce the dangerous scenario, we will introduce the
debug injection label ib_log_checkpoint_avoid_hard, which will
avoid log checkpoints even harder than the previous
ib_log_checkpoint_avoid.
log_t::overwrite_warned: The first known dangerous log sequence number.
Set in log_close() and cleared in log_write_checkpoint_info(),
which will output a "Crash recovery was broken" message.
Per fsp0types.h, SDI is on tablespace flags position 14 where MariaDB
stores its pagesize. Flag at position 13, also in MariaDB pagesize
flags, is a MySQL encryption flag.
These are checked only if fsp_flags_is_valid fails, so valid MariaDB
pages sizes don't become errors.
The error message "Cannot reset LSNs in table" was rather specific and
not always true to replaced with more generic error.
ALTER TABLE tbl IMPORT TABLESPACE now reports Unsupported on MySQL
tablespace (rather than index corrupted) along with a server error
message.
MySQL innodb Errors are with with UNSUPPORTED rather than CORRUPTED
to avoid user anxiety.
