SHOW ALL PROBLEMS FOR MERGE TABLE COMPLIANCE IN 5.1".
The problem was that CHECK/REPAIR TABLE for a MERGE table which
had several children missing or in wrong engine reported only
issue with the first such table in its result-set. While in 5.0
this statement returned the whole list of problematic tables.
Ability to report problems for all children was lost during
significant refactorings of MERGE code which were done as part
of work on 5.1 and 5.5 releases.
This patch restores status quo ante refactorings by changing
code in such a way that:
1) Failure to open child table due to its absence during CHECK/
REPAIR TABLE for a MERGE table is not reported immediately
when its absence is discovered in open_tables(). Instead
handling/error reporting in such a situation is postponed
until the moment when children are attached.
2) Code performing attaching of children no longer stops when
it encounters first problem with one of the children during
CHECK/REPAIR TABLE. Instead it continues iteration through
the child list until all problems caused by child absence/
wrong engine are reported.
Note that even after this change problem with mismatch of
child/parent definition won't be reported if there is also
another child missing, but this is how it was in 5.0 as well.
for ALTER TABLE + MERGE tables
The patch for Bug#56292 changed how metadata locks are taken for MERGE
tables. After the patch, locking the MERGE table will also lock the
children tables with the same metadata lock type. This means that
LOCK TABLES on a MERGE table also will implicitly do LOCK TABLES on
the children tables.
A consequence of this change, is that it is possible to do LOCK TABLES
on a child table both explicitly and implicitly with the same statement
and that these two locks can be of different strength. For example,
LOCK TABLES child READ, merge WRITE.
In LOCK TABLES mode, we are not allowed to take new locks and each
statement must therefore try to find an existing TABLE instance with
a suitable lock. The code that searched for a suitable TABLE instance,
only considered table level locks. If a child table was locked twice,
it was therefore possible for this code to find a TABLE instance with
suitable table level locks but without suitable metadata lock.
This problem caused the assert in upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive()
to be triggered as it tried to upgrade a MDL_SHARED lock to
EXCLUSIVE. The problem was a regression caused by the patch for
Bug#56292.
This patch fixes the problem by partially reverting the changes
done by Bug#56292. Now, the children tables will only use the
same metadata lock as the MERGE table for MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE
when not in locked tables mode. This means that LOCK TABLE
on a MERGE table will not implicitly lock the children tables.
This still fixes the original problem in Bug#56292 without
causing a regression.
Test case added to merge.test.
REPAIR of merge table
Bug #56422 CHECK TABLE run when the table is locked reports
corruption along with timeout
The crash happened if a table maintenance statement (ANALYZE TABLE,
REPAIR TABLE, etc.) was executed on a MERGE table and opening and
locking a child table failed. This could for example happen if a child
table did not exist or if a lock timeout happened while waiting for
a conflicting metadata lock to disappear.
Since opening and locking the MERGE table and its children failed,
the tables would be closed and the metadata locks released.
However, TABLE_LIST::table for the MERGE table would still be set,
with its value invalid since the tables had been closed.
This caused the table maintenance statement to try to continue
and upgrade the metadata lock on the MERGE table. But since the lock
already had been released, this caused a segfault.
This patch fixes the problem by setting TABLE_LIST::table to NULL
if open_and_lock_tables() fails. This prevents maintenance
statements from continuing and trying to upgrade the metadata lock.
The patch includes a 5.5 version of the fix for
Bug #46339 crash on REPAIR TABLE merge table USE_FRM.
This bug caused REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM to give an assert
when used on merge tables.
The patch also enables the CHECK TABLE statement for log tables.
Before, CHECK TABLE for log tables gave ER_CANT_LOCK_LOG_TABLE,
yet still counted the statement as successfully executed.
With the changes to table maintenance statement error handling
in this patch, CHECK TABLE would no longer be considered as
successful in this case. This would have caused upgrade scripts
to mistakenly think that the general and slow logs are corrupted
and have to be repaired. Enabling CHECK TABLES for log tables
prevents this from happening.
Finally, the patch changes the error message from "Corrupt" to
"Operation failed" for a number of issues not related to table
corruption. For example "Lock wait timeout exceeded" and
"Deadlock found trying to get lock".
Test cases added to merge.test and check.test.
tree for embedded server
Test case for bug #56251 "Deadlock with INSERT
DELAYED and MERGE tables" can't be run against
embedded server. Embedded server converts all
DELAYED INSERTs into ordinary INSERTs and this
test can't work properly if such conversion
happens.
Moved this test from merge.test to delayed.test
which is skipped if test suite is run with
--embedded-server option.
tables".
Attempting to issue an INSERT DELAYED statement for a MERGE
table might have caused a deadlock if it happened as part of
a transaction or under LOCK TABLES, and there was a concurrent
DDL or LOCK TABLES ... WRITE statement which tried to lock one
of its underlying tables.
The problem occurred when a delayed insert handler thread tried
to open a MERGE table and discovered that to do this it had also
to open all underlying tables and hence acquire metadata
locks on them. Since metadata locks on the underlying tables were
not pre-acquired by the connection thread executing INSERT DELAYED,
attempts to do so might lead to waiting. In this case the
connection thread had to wait for the delayed insert thread.
If the thread which was preventing the lock on the underlying table
from being acquired had to wait for the connection thread (due to
this or other metadata locks), a deadlock occurred.
This deadlock was not detected by the MDL deadlock detector since
waiting for the handler thread by the connection thread is not
represented in the wait-for graph.
This patch solves the problem by ensuring that the delayed
insert handler thread never tries to open underlying tables
of a MERGE table. Instead open_tables() is aborted right after
the parent table is opened and a ER_DELAYED_NOT_SUPPORTED
error is emitted (which is passed to the connection thread and
ultimately to the user).
ALTER TABLE on a MERGE table could cause a deadlock with two
other connections if we reached a situation where:
1) A connection doing ALTER TABLE can't upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE on the
parent table, but holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT on the child tables.
2) A connection doing DELETE on a child table can't get TL_WRITE on it
since ALTER TABLE holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT.
3) A connection doing SELECT on the parent table can't get TL_READ on
the child tables since TL_WRITE is ahead in the lock queue, but holds
MDL_SHARED_READ on the parent table preventing ALTER TABLE from upgrading.
For regular tables, this deadlock is avoided by having ALTER TABLE
take a MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE metadata lock on the table. This prevents
DELETE from acquiring MDL_SHARED_WRITE on the table before ALTER TABLE
tries to upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. In the example above, SELECT would
therefore not be blocked by the pending DELETE as DELETE would not be
able to enter TL_WRITE in the table lock queue.
This patch fixes the problem for merge tables by using the same metadata
lock type for child tables as for the parent table. The child tables will
in this case therefore be locked with MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE, preventing
DELETE from acquiring a metadata lock and enter into the table lock queue.
Change in behavior: By taking the same metadata lock for child tables
as for the parent table, LOCK TABLE on the parent table will now also
implicitly lock the child tables. Since LOCK TABLE on the parent table
now takes more than one metadata lock, it is possible for LOCK TABLE
... WRITE on the parent table or child tables to give ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
error.
Test case added to mdl_sync.test.
Merge.test/.result has been updated to reflect the change to LOCK TABLE.
'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' behaviour
BUG#47132, BUG#47442, BUG49494, BUG#23992 and BUG#48814 will disappear

BUG#55617 is fixed by this patch too.
This is the 5.5 part.
It implements:
- 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' statement will not insert
anything and binlog anything if the table already exists.
It only generate a warning that table already exists.

Backport the patch from 6.0 by Ingo Struewing:
revid:ingo.struewing@sun.com-20091028183659-6kmv1k3gdq6cpg4d
Bug#36171 - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE and MERGE engine
In former MySQL versions, up to 5.1.23/6.0.4 it was possible to create
temporary MERGE tables with non-temporary MyISAM tables.
This has been changed in the mentioned version due to Bug 19627
(temporary merge table locking). MERGE children were locked through
the parent table. If the parent was temporary, it was not locked and
so the children were not locked either. Parallel use of the MyISAM
tables corrupted them.
Since 6.0.6 (WL 4144 - Lock MERGE engine children), the children are
locked independently from the parent. Now it is possible to allow
non-temporary children with a temporary parent. Even though the
temporary MERGE table itself is not locked, each non-temporary
MyISAM table is locked anyway.
NOTE: Behavior change: In 5.1.23/6.0.4 we prohibited non-temporary
children with a temporary MERGE table. Now we re-allow it.
An important side-effect is that temporary tables, which overlay
non-temporary MERGE children, overlay the children in the MERGE table.
Remove mysql_lock_have_duplicate(), since now we always
have TABLE_LIST objects for MyISAMMRG children
in lex->query_tables and keep it till the end of the
statement (sub-statement).
Bug#47633 - assert in ha_myisammrg::info during OPTIMIZE
The server crashed on an attempt to optimize a MERGE table with
non-existent child table.
mysql_admin_table() relied on the table to be successfully open
if a table object had been allocated.
Changed code to check return value of the open function before
calling a handler:: function on it.
Bug #22909 Using CREATE ... LIKE is possible to create

Bug #35935 CREATE TABLE under LOCK TABLES ignores FLUSH

These bugs were originally fixed in the 6.1-fk tree and the fixes
were backported as part of the fix for Bug #42546 "Backup: RESTORE

The crash happens because of discrepancy between values of
conts_tables and join->const_table_map(make_join_statisctics).
Calculation of conts_tables used condition with
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT flag check. Calculation of
join->const_table_map does not use this flag check.
In case of MERGE table without union with index
the table does not become const table and
thus join_read_const_table() is not called
for the table. join->const_table_map supposes
this table is const and later in make_join_select
this table is used for making&calculation const
condition. As table record buffer is not populated
it leads to crash.
The fix is adding a check if an engine supports
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT flag before updating
join->const_table_map.

MERGE engine fails to open child table from a different
database if child table/database name contains characters
that are subject for table name to filename encoding
(WL1324).
Another problem is that MERGE engine didn't properly open
child table from the same database if child table name
contains characters like '/', '#'.
The problem was that table name to file name encoding was
applied inconsistently:
* On CREATE: encode table name + database name if child
table is in different database; do not encode table
name if child table is in the same database;
* No decoding on open.
With this fix child table/database names are always
encoded on CREATE and decoded on open. Compatibility
with older tables preserved.
Along with this patch comes fix for SHOW CREATE TABLE,
which used to show child table/database path instead
of child table/database names.
The problem was that ALTER TABLE on a merge table which was locked
using LOCK TABLE ... WRITE, by mistake gave
ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED_FOR_WRITE.
During opening of the table to be ALTERed, open_table() tried to
get an upgradable metadata lock. In LOCK TABLEs mode, this lock
must already exist (i.e. taken by LOCK TABLE) as new locks of this
type cannot be acquired for fear of deadlock. So in LOCK TABLEs
mode, open_table() tried to find an existing upgradable lock for
the table to be altered.
The problem was that open_table() also tried to find upgradable
metadata locks for children of merge tables even if no such
locks are needed to execute ALTER TABLE on merge tables.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that open tables code
only searches for upgradable metadata locks for the merge table
and not for the merge children tables.
The patch also fixes a related bug where an upgradable metadata
lock was aquired outside of LOCK TABLEs mode even if the table in
question was temporary. This bug meant that LOCK TABLES or DDL on
temporary tables by mistake could be blocked/aborted by locks held
on base tables with the same table name by other connections.
Test cases added to merge.test and lock_multi.test.
If a prepared statement used both a MyISAMMRG table and a stored
function or trigger, execution could fail with "No such table"
error or crash.
The error would come from a failure of the MyISAMMRG engine
to meet the expectations of the prelocking algorithm,
in particular maintain lex->query_tables_own_last pointer
in sync with lex->query_tables_last pointer/the contents
of lex->query_tables. When adding merge children, the merge
engine would extend the table list. Then, when adding
prelocked tables, the prelocking algorithm would use a pointer
to the last merge child to assign to lex->query_tables_own_last.
Then, when merge children were removed at the end of
open_tables(), lex->query_tables_own_last
was not updated, and kept pointing
to a removed merge child.
The fix ensures that query_tables_own_last is always in
sync with lex->query_tables_last.
This is a regression introduced by WL#4144 and present only
in next-4284 tree and 6.0.

2599.161.3 Ingo Struewing 2009-07-21
Bug#20667 - Truncate table fails for a write locked table
TRUNCATE TABLE was not allowed under LOCK TABLES.
The patch removes this restriction. mysql_truncate()
does now handle that case.
Bug#42546 Backup: RESTORE fails, thinking it finds an existing table
The problem occured when a MDL locking conflict happened for a non-existent
table between a CREATE and a INSERT statement. The code for CREATE
interpreted this lock conflict to mean that the table existed,
which meant that the statement failed when it should not have.
The problem could occur for CREATE TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE and
ALTER TABLE RENAME.
This patch fixes the problem for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.
It is based on code backported from the mysql-6.1-fk tree written
by Dmitry Lenev. CREATE now uses normal open_and_lock_tables() code
to acquire exclusive locks. This means that for the test case in the bug
description, CREATE will wait until INSERT completes so that it can
get the exclusive lock. This resolves the reported bug.
The patch also prohibits CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE under
LOCK TABLES. Note that this is an incompatible change and must
be reflected in the documentation. Affected test cases have been
updated.
mdl_sync.test contains tests for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.
Fixing the issue for ALTER TABLE RENAME is beyond the scope of this
patch. ALTER TABLE cannot be prohibited from working under LOCK TABLES
as this could seriously impact customers and a proper fix would require
a significant rewrite.
---------------------------------------------
This is a patch for bug#47098 assert in MDL_context::destroy on
HANDLER <damaged merge table> OPEN.
The assert occurs in MDL_context::destroy when the connection is terminated,
because all mdl_tickets have not been released.
MERGE tables do not support being opened using the HANDLER ... OPEN command,
and trying to do so will result in an error. In the event of an error, all
tables that are opened, should be closed again. The fix for bug#45781 made
sure that this also works for MERGE tables, which causes multiple tables to
be opened.
This fix extends the fix for bug#45781, by ensuring that also all locks are
released, when MERGE tables are involved.

message:
WL#4144 - Lock MERGE engine children.
Committing a version of the patch merged with WL#3726
on behalf of Ingo.
Step #1: Move locking from parent to children.
MERGE children are now left in the query list of tables
after inserted there in open_tables(). So they are locked
by lock_tables() as all other tables are.
The MERGE parent does not store locks any more. It appears
in a MYSQL_LOCK with zero lock data. This is kind of a "dummy"
lock.
All other lock handling is also done directly on the children.
To protect against parent or child modifications during LOCK
TABLES, the children are detached after every statement and
attached before every statement, even under LOCK TABLES.
The children table list is removed from the query list of tables
on every detach and on close of the parent.
Step #2: Move MERGE specific functionality from SQL layer
into table handler.
Functionality moved from SQL layer (mainly sql_base.cc)
to the table handler (ha_myisammrg.cc).
Unnecessary code is removed from the SQL layer.
Step #3: Moved all MERGE specific members from TABLE
to ha_myisammrg.
Moved members from TABLE to ha_myisammrg.
Renamed some mebers.
Fixed comments.
Step #4: Valgrind and coverage testing
Valgrind did not uncover new problems.
Added purecov comments.
Added a new test for DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY options.
Changed handling of ::reset() for non-attached children.
Fixed the merge-big test.
Step #5: Fixed crashes detected during review
Changed detection when to attach/detach.
Added new tests.
Backport also the fix for Bug#44040 "MySQL allows creating a
MERGE table upon VIEWs but crashes when using it"

from 6.0-codebase.
on SHOW CREATE TRIGGER + MERGE table
Problem: SHOW CREATE TRIGGER erroneously relies on fact
that we have the only underlying table for a trigger
(wrong for merge tables).
Fix: remove erroneous assert().
A REPLACE in the MERGE engine is actually a REPLACE
into one (FIRST or LAST) of the underlying MyISAM
tables. So in effect the server works on the meta
data of the MERGE table, while the real insert happens
in the MyISAM table.
The MERGE table has no index, while MyISAM has a
unique index. When a REPLACE into a MERGE table (
and the REPLACE conflicts with a duplicate in a
child table) is done, we try to access the duplicate
key information for the MERGE table. This information
actually does not exist, hence this results in a crash.
The problem can be resolved by modifying the MERGE
engine to provide us the duplicate key information
directly, instead of just returning the MyISAM index
number as the error key. Then the SQL layer (or "the
server") does not try to access the key_info of the
MERGE table, which does not exist.
The current patch modifies the MERGE engine to provide
the position for a record where a unique key violation
occurs.
table
The MERGE table storage engine does not support the HA_CAN_SQL_HANDLE feature
and any attempt to open the merge table will fail with ER_ILLEGAL_HA.
After an error occurred the tables that was opened must be closed again
or they will be left in an inconsistent state. However, the assumption
made in the code for closing and register handler tables was that only
one table will be opened, and this is not true for MERGE tables which
will cause multiple tables to open.
The next time a SELECT operation was issued on the merge table it
caused the system to freeze.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that all tables which
are opened also are closed in the event of an error.
and base tables
myrg_attach_children() could reuse a buffer that was allocated
previously based on a definition of a child table. The problem
was that the child's definition might have been changed, so
reusing the buffer could lead to crashes or valgrind errors
under some circumstances.
Fixed by changing myrg_attach_children() so that the
rec_per_key_part buffer is reused only when the child table
have not changed, and reallocated otherwise (the old buffer is
deallocated if necessary).
using it.
The crash was due to a null pointer present for select_lex while
processing the view.
Adding a check while opening the view to see if its a child of a
merge table fixed this problem.
This problem comes while inserting a duplicate row in merge table
without key but the child table has a primary key.
While forming the error message handler tries to locate the key field
which is creating this problem but as there is no key on the merge
table there is a segmentation fault.
A Query in the MyISAM merge table was crashing
if the index merge algorithm was being used
Index Merge optimization requires the reading of
multiple indexes at the same time. Reading multiple
indexes at once with current SE API means that we
need to have handler instance for each to-be-read
index. This is done by creating clones of the handlers
instances. The clone internally does a open of the handler.
The open for a MERGE engine is handled in the following
phases
1) open parent table
2) generate list of underlying
table
3) attach underlying tables
But the current implementation does only the first
phase (i.e.) open parent table.
The current patch fixes this at the MERGE engine level,
by handling the clone operation within the MERGE engine
rather than in the storage engine API. It opens and
attaches the MyISAM tables on the MyISAM storage engine
interface directly within the MERGE engine. The new MyISAM
table instances, as well as the MERGE clone itself, are not
visible in the table cache. This is not a problem because
all locking is handled by the original MERGE table from which
this is cloned of.
Every subsequent query to a merge table with indexes was lowering
down cardinality.
The problem was that key statistics was not cleared when merge
children were detached. Causing next attach children perform
incremental key statistics calculation.
Fixed by clearing key statistics when attaching first child.
Accessing well defined MERGE table may return an error
stating that the merge table is incorrectly defined. This
happens if MERGE child tables were accessed before and we
failed to open another incorrectly defined MERGE table in
this connection.
myrg_open() internally used my_errno as a variable for determining
failure, and thus could be tricked into a wrong decision by other
uses of my_errno.
With this fix we use function local boolean flag instead of my_errno
to determine failure.
Problem was an unclear error message since it could suggest that
MyISAM did not support INSERT DELAYED.
Changed the error message to say that DELAYED is not supported by the
table, instead of the table's storage engine.
The confusion is that a partitioned table is in somewhat sense using
the partitioning storage engine, which in turn uses the ordinary
storage engine. By saying that the table does not support DELAYED we
do not give any extra informantion about the storage engine or if it
is partitioned.
for ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM (should be optimized out).
Before WL#3281 MERGE engine had the HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT flag
unset, and it worked with COUNT optimization as desired.
After the removal of the HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT flag neither
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT (opposite to former HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT
flag) nor modern HA_HAS_RECORDS flag were not added to MERGE
table flag mask.
1. The HA_HAS_RECORDS table flag has been set.
2. The ha_myisammrg::records method has been overridden to
calculate total number of records in underlying tables.
When there are no underlying tables specified for a merge table,
SHOW CREATE TABLE outputs a statement that cannot be executed. The
same is true for mysqldump (it generates dumps that cannot be
executed).
This happens because SQL parser does not accept empty UNION() clause.
This patch changes the following:
- it is now possible to execute CREATE/ALTER statement with
empty UNION() clause.
- the same as above, but still worth noting: it is now possible to
remove underlying tables mapping using ALTER TABLE ... UNION=().
- SHOW CREATE TABLE does not output UNION() clause if there are
no underlying tables specified for a merge table. This makes
mysqldump slightly smaller.
self-join
When doing DELETE with self-join on a MyISAM or MERGE table, it could
happen that a record being retrieved in join_read_next_same() has
already been deleted by previous iterations. That caused the engine's
index_next_same() method to fail with HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED error and
the whole DELETE query to be aborted with an error.
Fixed by suppressing the HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED error in
hy_myisam::index_next_same() and ha_myisammrg::index_next_same(). Since
HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED can only be returned by MyISAM, there is no point
in filtering this error in the SQL layer.
