- Major rewrite of ddl_log.cc and ddl_log.h
- ddl_log.cc described in the beginning how the recovery works.
- ddl_log.log has unique signature and is dynamic. It's easy to
add more information to the header and other ddl blocks while still
being able to execute old ddl entries.
- IO_SIZE for ddl blocks is now dynamic. Can be changed without affecting
recovery of old logs.
- Code is more modular and is now usable outside of partition handling.
- Renamed log file to dll_recovery.log and added option --log-ddl-recovery
to allow one to specify the path & filename.
- Added ddl_log_entry_phase[], number of phases for each DDL action,
which allowed me to greatly simply set_global_from_ddl_log_entry()
- Changed how strings are stored in log entries, which allows us to
store much more information in a log entry.
- ddl log is now always created at start and deleted on normal shutdown.
This simplices things notable.
- Added probes debug_crash_here() and debug_simulate_error() to simply
crash testing and allow crash after a given number of times a probe
is executed. See comments in debug_sync.cc and rename_table.test for
how this can be used.
- Reverting failed table and view renames is done trough the ddl log.
This ensures that the ddl log is tested also outside of recovery.
- Added helper function 'handler::needs_lower_case_filenames()'
- Extend binary log with Q_XID events. ddl log handling is using this
to check if a ddl log entry was logged to the binary log (if yes,
it will be deleted from the log during ddl_log_close_binlogged_events()
- If a DDL entry fails 3 time, disable it. This is to ensure that if
we have a crash in ddl recovery code the server will not get stuck
in a forever crash-restart-crash loop.
mysqltest.cc changes:
- --die will now replace $variables with their values
- $error will contain the error of the last failed statement
storage engine changes:
- maria_rename() was changed to be more robust against crashes during
rename.

MariaDB: The open source relational database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.

Help
More help is available from the Maria Discuss mailing list https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss, MariaDB's Zulip instance, https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/ and the #maria IRC channel on Freenode.
Live QA for beginner contributors
MariaDB has a dedicated time each week when we answer new contributor questions live on Zulip and IRC. From 8:00 to 10:00 UTC on Mondays, and 10:00 to 12:00 UTC on Thursdays, anyone can ask any questions they’d like, and a live developer will be available to assist.
New contributors can ask questions any time, but we will provide immediate feedback during that interval.
