Due to inconsistent usage of different cost models to calculate
the cost of ref accesses we have to make the calculation of the
gain promising by usage a range filter more complex.
ANALYZE and ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON structures are changed in the way that they
show additional information when rowid filter is used:
- r_selectivity_pct - the observed filter selectivity
- r_buffer_size - the size of the rowid filter container buffer
- r_filling_time_ms - how long it took to fill rowid filter container
New class Rowid_filter_tracker was added. This class is needed to collect data
about how rowid filter is executed.
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.
