IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX hints were honored when choosing FULLTEXT
index.

With this fix these hints are ignored. For regular indexes we may
perform table scan instead of index lookup when IGNORE INDEX was
specified. We cannot do this for FULLTEXT in NLQ mode.

MERGE engine may return incorrect values when several representations
of equal keys are present in the index. For example "groß" and "gross"
or "gross" and "gross " (trailing space), which are considered equal,
but have different lengths.

The problem was that key length was not recalculated after key lookup.

Only MERGE engine is affected.

            causes incorrect duplicate entries

Keys for BTREE indexes on ENUM and SET columns of MEMORY tables
with character set UTF8 were computed incorrectly. Many
different column values got the same key value.

Apart of possible performance problems, it made unique indexes
of this type unusable because it rejected many different
values as duplicates.

The problem was that multibyte character detection was tried
on the internal numeric column value. Many values were not
identified as characters. Their key value became blank filled.

Thanks to Alexander Barkov and Ramil Kalimullin for the patch,
which sets the character set of ENUM and SET key segments to
the pseudo binary character set.

  fix for cast( AS DATETIME) + 0 operation.

- Problem: data separators were copied to a fixed-size buffer
  on the stack; memcpy was used, without bounds checking; a
  server crash could result if long FIELDS ENCLOSED BY, etc.,
  was given
- Fix: write the separators directly, instead of copying to
  a buffer first (in select_export::send_data())

Using a MEMORY table BTREE index for scanning for updatable rows
could lead to an infinite loop.

Everytime a key was inserted into a btree index, the position
in the index scan was cleared. The search started from the
beginning and found the same key again.

Now we do not clear the position on key insert an more.

            when index is used

When the table contained TEXT columns with empty contents
('', zero length, but not NULL) _and_ strings starting with
control characters like tabulator or newline, the empty values
were not found in a "records in range" estimate. Hence count(*)
missed these records.

The reason was a different set of search flags used for key
insert and key range estimation.

I decided to fix the set of flags used in range estimation.
Otherwise millions of databases around the world would require
a repair after an upgrade.

The consequence is that the manual must be fixed, which claims
that TEXT columns are compared with "end space padding". This
is true for CHAR/VARCHAR but wrong for TEXT. See also bug 21335.

TABLE ... WRITE".

CPU hogging occured when connection which had to wait for table lock was
serviced by thread which previously serviced connection that was killed
(note that connections can reuse threads if thread cache is enabled).
One possible scenario which exposed this problem was when thread which
provided binlog dump to replication slave was implicitly/automatically
killed when the same slave reconnected and started pulling data through
different thread/connection.
In 5.* versions memory hogging was added to CPU hogging. Moreover in
those versions the problem also occured when one killed particular query
in connection (using KILL QUERY) and later this connection had to wait for
some table lock.

This problem was caused by the fact that thread-specific mysys_var::abort
variable, which indicates that waiting operations on mysys layer should
be aborted (this includes waiting for table locks), was set by kill
operation but was never reset back. So this value was "inherited" by the
following statements or even other connections (which reused the same
physical thread). Such discrepancy between this variable and THD::killed
flag broke logic on SQL-layer and caused CPU and memory hogging.

This patch tries to fix this problem by properly resetting this member.

There is no test-case associated with this patch since it is hard to test
for memory/CPU hogging conditions in our test-suite.

  Updated to version 0.6 of the text

            my_seek: Assertion `fd != -1' failed"

In difficult optimize/repair situations the server could crash.
Under some circumstances the server retries an optimize/repair
with more elaborate options. But it did not check if the first
attempt failed so badly that a second one must not be tried.

This could happen when a new data file has been created
but it was not possible to open it. In this case the
repair leaves behind a table with closed data file.
This must not be used for another repair attempt.

We do now detect the closed data file and do not try
another repair attempt in this situation.

No test case. The required table corruption can not be
repeated easily. There is a test program attached to
bug 25433.

  Added test for sched_yield() possibly in -lposix4 on Solaris

            differences in tables
Certain merge tables were wrongly reported as having incorrect definition:
- Some fields that are 1 byte long (e.g. TINYINT, CHAR(1)), might
  be internally casted (in certain cases) to a different type on a
  storage engine layer. (affects 4.1 and up)
- If tables in a merge (and a MERGE table itself) had short VARCHAR column (less
  than 4 bytes) and at least one (but not all) tables were ALTER'ed (even to an
  identical table: ALTER TABLE xxx ENGINE=yyy), table definitions went ouf of
  sync. (affects 4.1 only)

This is fixed by relaxing a check for underlying conformance and setting
field type to FIELD_TYPE_STRING in case varchar is shorter than 4
when a table is created.

          incorrect key file for table

In certain cases it could happen that deleting a row could
corrupt an RTREE index.

According to Guttman's algorithm, page underflow is handled
by storing the page in a list for later re-insertion. The
keys from the stored pages have to be inserted into the
remaining pages of the same level of the tree. Hence the
level number is stored in the re-insertion list together
with the page.

In the MySQL RTree implementation the level counts from zero
at the root page, increasing numbers for levels down the tree.

If during re-insertion of the keys the tree height grows, all
level numbers become invalid. The remaining keys will be
inserted at the wrong level.

The fix is to increment the level numbers stored in the
reinsert list after a split of the root block during reinsertion.
