MDEV-32570 added fragmentation of large row events. When binlog compression is enabled (log_bin_compress=ON), the compression is bypassed, and these binary log events remain as regular row events, when they should be compressed row events. This is because the compression happens during the Log_event::write() function, whereas row data fragmentation happens before Log_event::write() is called. The Rows_log_event super-class stores the row data buffers to be written to disk. The regular Rows_log_event sub-classes's implementations of Log_event::write() write this data as-is. The compressed sub-classes's implementation of ::write() over-write these buffers with the compressed rows data before writing to disk. To fragment a large row event, the server fragments the Rows_log_event's row data buffers, to be written by multiple Partial_rows_log_event's, and each Partial_rows_log_event::write() call writes its portion of the row data buffer to disk. However, this happens before compression ever has a chance to take place, and thereby, an event that should be compressed, never is. MDEV-39762 added event structure validation for compressed events, and discovered that these events carry the compressed event type, but are not actually compressed. Event validation thereby fails. This patch adds a workaround to override the event type of the fragmented row events to be regular row events, to be consistent with the actual on-disk content. The underlying problem still needs to be addressed though, and is tracked by MDEV-40851. Signed-off-by: Brandon Nesterenko <brandon.nesterenko@mariadb.com>

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement for 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.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
