CASES RESETS DATA POINTER TO SMAL

ISSUE: Myisamchk doing sort recover
       on a table reduces data_file_length.
       Maximum size of data file decreases,
       lesser number of rows are stored.

SOLUTION: Size of data_file_length is
          fixed to the original length.

                      CREATE_TIME IN INFORMATION_SC

It was impossible to determine MEMORY table creation time,
since it wasn't stored/exposed.

With this patch creation time is saved and it is available via
I_S.TABLES.CREATE_TIME.

Note: it was decided that additional analysis is required before
implementing UPDATE_TIME. Thus this patch doesn't store UPDATE_TIME.

Replace part of the patch that Kevin apparently forgot to push.
Fix the bug also in the built-in InnoDB of MySQL 5.1.

I cannot explain why the test case was not failing without the
full patch.

This was rb:762, approved by me.

The problem occurred when indexes are added between the time that an
UNDO record is created and the time that the purge thread comes around
and deletes the old secondary index entries.  The purge thread would
hit an assert when trying to build a secondary index entry for
searching.  The problem was that the old value of those fields were not
in the UNDO record since they were not part of an index when the UPDATE
occured. 
A test case was added to innodb-index.test.

  Added simple cut-off w/warning if > one million lines

               FULLTEXT INDEXES

myisamchk may create incorrect fulltext index for compressed
tables. Incorrect data pointer size was used while creating
fulltext index.

  Export $MYSQLD as full path to executable
  $MYSQLD_CMD is executable with minimum required args

  Call handle_error() instead of die() when evaluating these
  Must remember "current command" with link to errors to ignore
  Added test cases to mysqltest.test 

when buffered changes are to be discarded

sync_thread_add_level(level = SYNC_IBUF_INDEX_TREE): Relax a too strict
condition that the thread must not be holding locks below SYNC_FSP_PAGE.
It is perfectly valid to hold any latch above SYNC_IBUF_INDEX_TREE when
acquiring the insert buffer tree latch.

bugs in it - accessing uninitialized ::len member (thanks, Jimmy!)
and a memory leak.

This is a followup to vasil.dimov@oracle.com-20110909070724-jvirxnpkbxieauz5
which disabled the prefetch code.

when buffered changes are to be discarded

ibuf_add_free_page(): Lower the latching order of the newly allocated page
to SYNC_IBUF_TREE_NODE_NEW after latching the insert buffer tree root.

This bug always was bogus UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG alarm. The function
buf_block_dbg_add_level() is a no-op unless UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG is defined.

When there is a secondary index on a column prefix of an externally
stored column and an entry in the secondary index is shorter than the
reserved prefix length, it should mean that the secondary index entry
is holding the complete column value. When comparing this secondary
index column value to the column in the clustered index row, we must
compare the entire prefix that was fetched from the clustered
index. The bug was that we would just compare that the column in the
clustered index starts with the value found in the secondary index
column.

This bug affects only the InnoDB Barracuda formats (ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
and ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED), in which columns that are stored off-page
in the clustered index do not contain any prefix in the clustered
index record.

row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_blob(): Add the parameter prefix_len, for
ifield->prefix_len. Add some assertions.

Sorry, I did not manage to produce a test case. This patch does
produce correct results on the data set that Michael isolated on our
test machine. That was with the purge and background rollback
suspended, because they would make the bug go away.

This change is a followup to
vasil.dimov@oracle.com-20110907145810-v98kldmho23vhhic
which triggered the usage of the prefetch and valgrind tests spat lots of
warnings.

The prefetch code will be removed.

InnoDB acquires an x-latch on btr_search_latch for certain in-place updates
that do affect the adaptive hash index. These operations do not really need
to be protected by the btr_search_latch:

* updating DB_TRX_ID
* updating DB_ROLL_PTR
* updating PAGE_MAX_TRX_ID
* updating the delete-mark flag

Tweak the faulty UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG diagnostics a little bit more.

ibuf_add_free_page(): Lower the latching order of the newly allocated page
only after acquiring the ibuf_mutex.

DROP_TABLE_PROC().

With this change I observe a speedup from 6.2s to 0.1s when executing
DROP_TABLE_PROC() during DROP TABLE with 512 foreign keys, like what
is being done in innodb_bug56143.test

This fixes "Bug#11765460 DROP TABLE USES INEFFICIENT METHODS TO REMOVE

buf_buddy_relocate(): The ut_time_us() function is needed for

Until now, we invoked ut_time_us() every time buf_buddy_relocate() was
called. Fix: Only call ut_time_us() when the block can be relocated.
After this fix, the reported relocated_usec will no longer include the
time for the page_hash lookup and for acquiring the block mutex.

trx_undo_report_row_operation(): If the page for which the undo log
was too big was empty, commit and start the mini-transaction before
acquiring the rollback segment mutex and freeing the undo page. This
is necessary, because the mini-transaction may be holding lower-order
latches in the levels SYNC_FSP and SYNC_FSP_PAGE.

trx_undo_erase_page_end(): Erase also empty pages, because
trx_undo_report_row_operation() needs to commit the mini-transaction
before freeing the empty page.

GROUPING BY FUNCTIONS.... (PART

The bug was introduced in a patch for bug 49897.

Problem: The assertion inserted by the original patch to guard against
zero-lenght sort keys during merge phase triggers also when the whole
set fits in memory.

Fix: Move assert so that it does not trigger if the whole set is in
memory.

Converting the number zero to binary and back yielded the number zero,
but with no digits, i.e. zero precision.
This made the multiply algorithm go haywire in various ways.

The fix of Bug#12612184 broke crash recovery. When a record that
contains off-page columns (BLOBs) is updated, we must first write redo
log about the BLOB page writes, and only after that write the redo log
about the B-tree changes. The buggy fix would log the B-tree changes
first, meaning that after recovery, we could end up having a record
that contains a null BLOB pointer.

Because we will be redo logging the writes off the off-page columns
before the B-tree changes, we must make sure that the pages chosen for
the off-page columns are free both before and after the B-tree
changes. In this way, the worst thing that can happen in crash
recovery is that the BLOBs are written to free pages, but the B-tree
changes are not applied. The BLOB pages would correctly remain free in
this case. To achieve this, we must allocate the BLOB pages in the
mini-transaction of the B-tree operation. A further quirk is that BLOB
pages are allocated from the same file segment as leaf pages. Because
of this, we must temporarily "hide" any leaf pages that were freed
during the B-tree operation by "fake allocating" them prior to writing
the BLOBs, and freeing them again before the mtr_commit() of the
B-tree operation, in btr_mark_freed_leaves().

btr_cur_mtr_commit_and_start(): Remove this faulty function that was
introduced in the Bug#12612184 fix. The problem that this function was
trying to address was that when we did mtr_commit() the BLOB writes
before the mtr_commit() of the update, the new BLOB pages could have
overwritten clustered index B-tree leaf pages that were freed during
the update. If recovery applied the redo log of the BLOB writes but
did not see the log of the record update, the index tree would be
corrupted. The correct solution is to make the freed clustered index
pages unavailable to the BLOB allocation. This function is also a
likely culprit of InnoDB hangs that were observed when testing the
Bug#12612184 fix.

btr_mark_freed_leaves(): Mark all freed clustered index leaf pages of
a mini-transaction allocated (nonfree=TRUE) before storing the BLOBs,
or freed (nonfree=FALSE) before committing the mini-transaction.

btr_freed_leaves_validate(): A debug function for checking that all
clustered index leaf pages that have been marked free in the
mini-transaction are consistent (have not been zeroed out).

btr_page_alloc_low(): Refactored from btr_page_alloc(). Return the
number of the allocated page, or FIL_NULL if out of space. Add the
parameter "mtr_t* init_mtr" for specifying the mini-transaction where
the page should be initialized, or if this is a "fake allocation"
(init_mtr=NULL) by btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=TRUE).

btr_page_alloc(): Add the parameter init_mtr, allowing the page to be
initialized and X-latched in a different mini-transaction than the one
that is used for the allocation. Invoke btr_page_alloc_low(). If a
clustered index leaf page was previously freed in mtr, remove it from
the memo of previously freed pages.

btr_page_free(): Assert that the page is a B-tree page and it has been
X-latched by the mini-transaction. If the freed page was a leaf page
of a clustered index, link it by a MTR_MEMO_FREE_CLUST_LEAF marker to
the mini-transaction.

btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields_func(): Add the parameter alloc_mtr,
which is NULL (old behaviour in inserts) and the same as local_mtr in
updates. If alloc_mtr!=NULL, the BLOB pages will be allocated from it
instead of the mini-transaction that is used for writing the BLOBs.

fsp_alloc_from_free_frag(): Refactored from
fsp_alloc_free_page(). Allocate the specified page from a partially
free extent.

fseg_alloc_free_page_low(), fseg_alloc_free_page_general(): Add the
parameter "mtr_t* init_mtr" for specifying the mini-transaction where
the page should be initialized, or NULL if this is a "fake allocation"
that prevents the reuse of a previously freed B-tree page for BLOB
storage. If init_mtr==NULL, try harder to reallocate the specified page
and assert that it succeeded.

fsp_alloc_free_page(): Add the parameter "mtr_t* init_mtr" for
specifying the mini-transaction where the page should be initialized.
Do not allow init_mtr == NULL, because this function is never to be
used for "fake allocations".

mtr_t: Add the operation MTR_MEMO_FREE_CLUST_LEAF and the flag
mtr->freed_clust_leaf for quickly determining if any
MTR_MEMO_FREE_CLUST_LEAF operations have been posted.

row_ins_index_entry_low(): When columns are being made off-page in
insert-by-update, invoke btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=TRUE) and pass
the mini-transaction as the alloc_mtr to
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(). Finally, invoke
btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=FALSE) to avoid leaking pages.

row_build(): Correct a comment, and add a debug assertion that a
record that contains NULL BLOB pointers must be a fresh insert.

row_upd_clust_rec(): When columns are being moved off-page, invoke
btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=TRUE) and pass the mini-transaction as
the alloc_mtr to btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(). Finally, invoke
btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=FALSE) to avoid leaking pages.

buf_reset_check_index_page_at_flush(): Remove. The function
fsp_init_file_page_low() already sets
bpage->check_index_page_at_flush=FALSE.

There is a known issue in tablespace extension. If the request to
allocate a BLOB page leads to the tablespace being extended, crash
recovery could see BLOB writes to pages that are off the tablespace
file bounds. This should trigger an assertion failure in fil_io() at
crash recovery. The safe thing would be to write redo log about the
tablespace extension to the mini-transaction of the BLOB write, not to
the mini-transaction of the record update. However, there is no redo
log record for file extension in the current redo log format.

Fix: backporting the fixes of bug 11752963 to 5.1 branch. 
1. Made all major changes to make 5.1 branch in line with 5.5 and the trunk.
2. skipped the partial patch that was already applied to the 5.1 branch. 

Suppress the known warnings generated by filesort().

The real fix belongs to worklog 1509:
Pack values of non-sorted fields in the sort buffer
(which is basically the same issue, but in an optimization context:
 We are writing the entire sort buffer to disk, 
 including un-used space for varchar columns.)
