OPTIMIZE TABLE with myisam_repair_threads > 1 performs a non-quick
parallel repair. This means that it does not only rebuild all
indexes, but also the data file.
Non-quick parallel repair works so that there is one thread per
index. The first of the threads rebuilds also the new data file.
The problem was that all threads shared the read io cache on the
old data file. If there were holes (deleted records) in the table,
the first thread skipped them, writing only contiguous, non-deleted
records to the new data file. Then it built the new index so that
its entries pointed to the correct record positions. But the other
threads didn't know the new record positions, but put the positions
from the old data file into the index.
The new design is so that there is a shared io cache which is filled
by the first thread (the data file writer) with the new contiguous
records and read by the other threads. Now they know the new record
positions.
Another problem was that for the parallel repair of compressed
tables a common bit_buff and rec_buff was used. I changed it so
that thread specific buffers are used for parallel repair.
A similar problem existed for checksum calculation. I made this
multi-thread safe too.
The syntax of the CALL statement, to invoke a stored procedure, has been
changed to make the use of parenthesis optional in the argument list.
With this change, "CALL p;" is equivalent to "CALL p();".
While the SQL spec does not explicitely mandate this syntax, supporting it
is needed for practical reasons, for integration with JDBC / ODBC connectors.
Also, warnings in the sql/sql_yacc.yy file, which were not reported by Bison 2.1
but are now reported by Bison 2.2, have been fixed.
The warning found were:
bison -y -p MYSQL -d --debug --verbose sql_yacc.yy
sql_yacc.yy:653.9-18: warning: symbol UNLOCK_SYM redeclared
sql_yacc.yy:656.9-17: warning: symbol UNTIL_SYM redeclared
sql_yacc.yy:658.9-18: warning: symbol UPDATE_SYM redeclared
sql_yacc.yy:5169.11-5174.11: warning: unused value: $2
sql_yacc.yy:5208.11-5220.11: warning: unused value: $5
sql_yacc.yy:5221.11-5234.11: warning: unused value: $5
conflicts: 249 shift/reduce
"unused value: $2" correspond to the $$=$1 assignment in the 1st {} block
in table_ref -> join_table {} {},
which does not procude a result ($$) for the rule but an intermediate $2
value for the action instead.
"unused value: $5" are similar, with $$ assignments in {} actions blocks
which are not for the final reduce.
Currently SQL_BIG_RESULT is checked only at compile time.
However, additional optimizations may take place after
this check that change the sort method from 'filesort'
to sorting via index. As a result the actual plan
executed is not the one specified by the SQL_BIG_RESULT
hint. Similarly, there is no such test when executing
EXPLAIN, resulting in incorrect output.
The patch corrects the problem by testing for
SQL_BIG_RESULT both during the explain and execution
phases.
to run the whole testcase to find wich testcases need to be checked more carefully
and the just "copy and paste" the suspicious test case names to
a new mysql-test-run.pl command.

Note: bug#21726 does not directly apply to 4.1, as it doesn't have stored
procedures. However, 4.1 had some bugs that were fixed in 5.0 by the
patch for bug#21726, and this patch is a backport of those fixes.
Namely, in 4.1 it fixes:
- LAST_INSERT_ID(expr) didn't return value of expr (4.1 specific).
- LAST_INSERT_ID() could return the value generated by current
statement if the call happens after the generation, like in
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, j INT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (NULL, 0), (NULL, LAST_INSERT_ID());
- Redundant binary log LAST_INSERT_ID_EVENTs could be generated.
Improve 'run_testcase_need_slave_restart' to detect if a slave restart really is necessary.
So far all rpl test requires a slave restart, but for all other tests it can be skipped
Improve the sort order used by --reorder
