Change the defaults:
-histogram_size=0
+histogram_size=254
-histogram_type=SINGLE_PREC_HB
+histogram_type=DOUBLE_PREC_HB
Adjust the testcases:
- Some have ignorable changes in EXPLAIN outputs and
more counter increments due to EITS table reads.
- Testcases that meaningfully depend on the old defaults
are changed to use the old values.
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
