Until now, the attribute EXTENDED of CHECK TABLE was ignored by InnoDB,
and InnoDB only counted the records in each index according
to the current read view. Unless the attribute QUICK was specified, the
function btr_validate_index() would be invoked to validate the B-tree
structure (the sibling and child links between index pages).

The EXTENDED check will not only count all index records according to the
current read view, but also ensure that any delete-marked records in the
clustered index are waiting for the purge of history, and that all
secondary index records point to a version of the clustered index record
that is waiting for the purge of history. In other words, no index may
contain orphan records. Normal MVCC reads and the non-EXTENDED version
of CHECK TABLE would ignore these orphans.

Unpurged records merely result in warnings (at most one per index),
not errors, and no indexes will be flagged as corrupted due to such
garbage. It will remain possibl...
