When MariaDB 10.1.0 introduced table options for encryption and
compression, it unnecessarily changed
ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() so that ALGORITHM=COPY
is forced when these parameters differ.
A better solution is to move the check to innobase_need_rebuild().
In that way, the ALGORITHM=INPLACE interface (yes, the syntax is
very misleading) can be used for rebuilding the table much more
efficiently, with merge sort, with no undo logging, and allowing
concurrent DML operations.
Folloup: Made encryption rules too strict (and incorrect). Allow creating
table with ENCRYPTED=OFF with all values of ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID but create
warning that nondefault values are ignored. Allow creating table with
ENCRYPTED=DEFAULT if used key_id is found from key file (there was
bug on this) and give error if key_id is not found.
Analysis: Problem sees to be the fact that we allow creating or altering
table to use encryption_key_id that does not exists in case where
original table is not encrypted currently. Secondly we should not
do key rotation to tables that are not encrypted or tablespaces
that can't be found from tablespace cache.
Fix: Do not allow creating unencrypted table with nondefault encryption key
and do not rotate tablespaces that are not encrypted (FIL_SPACE_ENCRYPTION_OFF)
or can't be found from tablespace cache.
