Some of the test cases reference to binlog position and
these position numbers are written into result explicitly.
It is difficult to maintain if log event format changes.
There are a couple of cases explicit position number appears,
we handle them in different ways
A. 'CHANGE MASTER ...' with MASTER_LOG_POS or/and RELAY_LOG_POS options
Use --replace_result to mask them.
B. 'SHOW BINLOG EVENT ...'
Replaced by show_binlog_events.inc or wait_for_binlog_event.inc.
show_binlog_events.inc file's function is enhanced by given
$binlog_file and $binlog_limit.
C. 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS', 'show_slave_status.inc' and 'show_slave_status2.inc'
For the test cases just care a few items in the result of 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS',
only the items related to each test case are showed.
'show_slave_status.inc' is rebuild, only the given items in $status_items
will be showed.
'check_slave_is_running.inc' and 'check_slave_no_error.inc'
and 'check_slave_param.inc' are auxiliary files helping
to show running status and error information easily.
Non-transactional updates that take place inside a transaction present problems
for logging because they are visible to other clients before the transaction
is committed, and they are not rolled back even if the transaction is rolled
back. It is not always possible to log correctly in statement format when both
transactional and non-transactional tables are used in the same transaction.
In the current patch, we ensure that such scenario is completely safe under the
ROW and MIXED modes.
Remove size of binlog file from SHOW BINARY LOGS.
Changing size of binlog file is an affect of adding or removing events to/from
binlog and it can be checked in next command of test: SHOW BINLOG EVENTS.
For SHOW BINARY LOGS statement enough to show the list of file names.
Problem 1: tests often fail in pushbuild with a timeout when waiting
for the slave to start/stop/receive error.
Fix 1: Updated the wait_for_slave_* macros in the following way:
- The timeout is increased by a factor ten
- Refactored the macros so that wait_for_slave_param does the work for
the other macros.
Problem 2: Tests are often incorrectly written, lacking a
source include/wait_for_slave_to_[start|stop].inc.
Fix 2: Improved the chance to get it right by adding
include/start_slave.inc and include/stop_slave.inc, and updated tests
to use these.
Problem 3: The the built-in test language command
wait_for_slave_to_stop is a misnomer (does not wait for the slave io
thread) and does not give as much debug info in case of failure as
the otherwise equivalent macro
source include/wait_for_slave_sql_to_stop.inc
Fix 3: Replaced all calls to the built-in command by a call to the
macro.
Problem 4: Some, but not all, of the wait_for_slave_* macros had an
implicit connection slave. This made some tests confusing to read,
and made it more difficult to use the macro in circular replication
scenarios, where the connection named master needs to wait.
Fix 4: Removed the implicit connection slave from all
wait_for_slave_* macros, and updated tests to use an explicit
connection slave where necessary.
Problem 5: The macros wait_slave_status.inc and wait_show_pattern.inc
were unused. Moreover, using them is difficult and error-prone.
Fix 5: remove these macros.
Problem 6: log_bin_trust_function_creators_basic failed when running
tests because it assumed @@global.log_bin_trust_function_creators=1,
and some tests modified this variable without resetting it to its
original value.
Fix 6: All tests that use this variable have been updated so that
they reset the value at end of test.
Actually, this testcase will fail generally on all testing platforms.
The bugs come from the inconsistent bitmap between rpl master and slave.
In log_event.cc, the n_bits of m_cols and m_cols_ai are intialized with octal-ceiling
m_width, in fact, their n_bits should be equal to m_width.
Wrong n_bits will cause bitmap_bits_set() get incorrect value in unpack_row()
in rpl_record.cc,
then an assertion in unpack_row() will fail and crash sql thread.
DBUG_ASSERT(null_ptr == row_data + master_null_byte_count);
Meanwhile, because of binlog_prepare_pending_rows_event() changed with correct
m_cols, some results of specific testcases should be updated:
binlog_multi_engine.test
ndb_binlog_multi.test
rpl_ndb_dd_partitions.test
rpl_ndb_log.test
rpl_truncate_7ndb.test
rpl_truncate_7ndb_2.test
In addition, to ensure rows replication correct between master and slave after the patch,
two 'select * from t1' are added in extra/rpl_tests/rpl_log.test, and some testcases include
rpl_log.test, therefore, the results of these testcases should be updated likewise:
rpl_stm_log.test
rpl_row_log.test
rpl_ndb_log.test
rpl_row_log_innodb.test
Totally, results of nine testcases are updated.
Adding an event that can be used to denote that an incident occured
on the master. The event can be used to denote a gap in the replication
stream, but can also be used to denote other incidents.
In addition, the injector interface is extended with functions to
generate an incident event. The function will also rotate the binary
log after generating an incident event to get a fresh binary log.
does not work): Changing packed row format to only include null bits
for those columns that are present in the row as well as writing BIT
columns in a storage engine-independent format.
The change in row format is incompatible with the previous format and a
slave will not be able to read the new events.
