Currently SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS require the SUPER
privilege. Monitoring tools (such as MEM) often want to check this
output - for instance MEM generates the SUM of the sizes of the logs
reported here, and puts that in the Replication overview within the MEM
Dashboard.
However, because of the SUPER requirement, these tools often have an
account that holds open the connection whilst monitoring, and can lock
out administrators when the server gets overloaded and reaches
max_connections - there is already another SUPER privileged account
connected, the "monitor".
As SHOW MASTER STATUS, and all other replication related statements,
return with either REPLICATION CLIENT or SUPER privileges, this worklog
is to make SHOW MASTER LOGS and SHOW BINARY LOGS be consistent with this
as well, and allow both of these commands with either SUPER or
REPLICATION CLIENT.
This allows monitoring tools to not require a SUPER privilege any more,
so is safer in overloaded situations, as well as being more secure, as
lighter privileges can be given to users of such tools or scripts.
mysql-test/r/select.result:
Added test result for Bug#12713907
mysql-test/t/select.test:
Added test case for Bug#12713907
sql/sql_select.cc:
Remove the call to set_keyread as we do it from access
functions 'join_read_first' and 'join_read_last'
ORDER BY COUNT(*) LIMIT.
PROBLEM:
With respect to problem in the bug description, we
exhibit different behaviors for the two tables
presented, because innodb statistics (rec_per_key
in this case) are updated for the first table
and not so for the second one. As a result the
query plan gets changed in test_if_skip_sort_order
to use 'index' scan. Hence the difference in the
explain output. (NOTE: We can reproduce the problem
with first table by reducing the number of tuples
and changing the table structure)
The varied output w.r.t the query on the second table
is because of the result in the query plan change.
When a query plan is changed to use 'index' scan,
after the call to test_if_skip_sort_order, we set
keyread to TRUE immedietly. If for some reason
we drop this index scan for a filesort later on,
we fetch only the keys not the entire tuple.
As a result we would see junk values in the result set.
Following is the code flow:
Call test_if_skip_sort_order
-Choose an index to give sorted output
-If this is a covering index, set_keyread to TRUE
-Set the scan to INDEX scan
Call test_if_skip_sort_order second time
-Index is not chosen (note that we do not pass the
actual limit value second time. Hence we do not choose
index scan second time which in itself is a bug fixed
in 5.6 with WL#5558)
-goto filesort
Call filesort
-Create quick range on a different index
-Since keyread is set to TRUE, we fetch only the columns of
the index
-results in the required columns are not fetched
FIX:
Remove the call to set_keyread(TRUE) from
test_if_skip_sort_order. The access function which is
'join_read_first' or 'join_read_last' calls set_keyread anyways.

UNHANDLED, CONFUSING ERROR
The main confusion with the error message is that "it
implies that your data dictionary may now be out of
sync". This patch will remove the unwanted and the
misleading error message by not doing an unnecessary
operation in the error handling code.

Also, do not package aria log files in the zip package- not required for the database to function,
also will avoid trouble with recovery, if someone accidentially (or on purpose) upgrades by unpacking the zip in the existing install directory.
The class Copy_field contains a String tmp,
which may allocate memory on the heap.
That means that all instances of Copy_field
must be properly destroyed. Alas they are not.
Solution: don't use Copy_field::tmp for copying
from_field => tmp => to_field
in do_field_string()
sql/field.cc:
In Field_set::val_str
return empty string (of appropriate character set) for an empty set.
sql/field.h:
New private member in Field_enum: empty_set_string.
sql/field_conv.cc:
In do_field_string, use an auto variable for copying
from_field => tmp => to_field
rather than copy->tmp.
PROBLEM:
--------
When binary log statements are replayed on the slave, BEGIN is represented
in com_counters but COMMIT is not. Similarly in 'ROW' based replication
'INSERT','UPDATE',and 'DELETE' com_counters are not getting incremented
when the binary log statements are replayed at slave.
ANALYSIS:
---------
In 'ROW' based replication for COMMIT,INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE operations
following special events are invoked.
Xid_log_event,Write_rows_log_event,Update_rows_log_event,Update_rows_log_event.
The above mentioned events doesn't go through the parser where the
'COM_COUNTERS' are incremented.
FIX:
-----
Increment statements are added at appropriate events.
Respective functions are listed below.
'Xid_log_event::do_apply_event'
'Write_rows_log_event::do_before_row_operations'
'Update_rows_log_event::do_before_row_operations'
'Delete_rows_log_event::do_before_row_operations'
sql/log_event.cc:
Added code to increment counts for 'COM_INSERT','COM_UPDATE',
'COM_DELETE' and 'COM_COMMIT'during ROW based replicaiton

TABLES IN INCORRECT ENGINE
PROBLEM:
CREATE/ALTER TABLE currently can move system tables like
mysql.db, user, host etc, to engines other than MyISAM. This is not
completely supported as of now, by mysqld. When some of system tables
like plugin, servers, event, func, *_priv, time_zone* are moved
to innodb, mysqld restart crashes. Currently system tables
can be moved to BLACKHOLE also!!!.
ANALYSIS:
The problem is that there is no check before creating or moving
a system table to some particular engine.
System tables are suppose to be residing in MyISAM. We can think
of restricting system tables to exist only in MyISAM. But, there could
be future needs of these system tables to be part of other engines
by design. For eg, NDB cluster expects some tables to be on innodb
or ndb engine. This calls for a solution, by which system
tables can be supported by any desired engine, with minimal effort.
FIX:
The solution provides a handlerton interface using which,
mysqld server can query particular storage engine handlerton for
system tables that it supports. This way each storage engine
layer can define their own system database and system tables.
The check_engine() function uses the new handlerton function
ha_check_if_supported_system_table() to check if db.tablename
provided in the DDL is supported by the SE.
Note: This fix has modified a test in help.test, which was moving
mysql.help_* to innodb. The primary intention of the test was not
to move them between engines.
Problem - The cause of the failure is mainly due to the assert added in
the code as a result of the fix of the BUG-13333431. When we
start the server with the --skip-networking option enabled
we have the mysqld_port explicitly to 0. Since the value of
report_port is set to mysqld_port, the assertion that
(report_port!= 0) fails.
Fix - the fix of the problem is to assert the not zero value of
report_port only in the case the --skip-networking option is not
used to start the mysqld server.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Added the code to check for the skip-networking option while starting
the server.
