"CHANGE MASTER makes SQL thread restart from coordinates of I/O thread".
So, in CHANGE MASTER:
when it seems reasonable that the user did not want to discontinue
its replication (i.e. when he is not specifying host or port or master_log_file
or master_log_pos; this will be documented), set the coordinates of the
I/O thread to those of the SQL thread. This way, the SQL thread will see
no discontinuity in the relay log (i.e. will skip no events), because
the I/O thread will fill the brand new relay log with the events which
are just after the position where the SQL thread had stopped
(before CHANGE MASTER was issued).
And a new test for this bug.
mysql-test/r/rpl_loaddata.result:
Now, after CHANGE MASTER the coordinates of the I/O thread are the last ones of the SQL thread, so result update.
