DROP DATABASE statement writes changes to mysql.proc table under RBR
When replicating a DROP DATABASE statement with a database holding
stored procedures, the changes to the mysql.proc table was recorded
in the binary log under row-based replication.
With this patch, the thread uses statement-logging format for the
duration of the DROP DATABASE statement. The logging format is
(already) reset at the end of the statement, so no additional code
for resetting the logging format is necessary.
This patch adds the ability to store extra field metadata in the table
map event. This data can include pack_length() or field_lenght() for
fields such as CHAR or VARCHAR enabling developers to add code that
can check for compatibilty between master and slave columns. More
importantly, the extra field metadata can be used to store data from the
master correctly should a VARCHAR field on the master be <= 255 bytes
while the same field on the slave is > 255 bytes.
The patch also includes the needed changes to unpack to ensure that data
which is smaller on the master can be unpacked correctly on the slave.
WL#3915 : (NDB) master's cols > slave
Slave starts accepting and handling rows of master's tables which have more columns.
The most important part of implementation is how to caclulate the amount of bytes to
skip for unknown by slave column.
Stopping mysql server could result in an entry in mysql error
file: "InnoDB: Error: MySQL is freeing a thd".
This happened because InnoDB assumes that the server will never
call external_lock(F_UNLCK) in case external_lock(READ/WRITE)
failed.
Prior to this patch we haven't had strict definition whether
external_lock(F_UNLCK) must be called in case external_lock(READ/WRITE)
fails.
This patch states that we never call external_lock(F_UNLCK) in case
external_lock(READ/WRITE) fails.
