Drop and add same key is considered rename (look ALTER_RENAME_INDEX in
fill_alter_inplace_info()). But in this case order of keys may be
changed, because mysql_prepare_alter_table() yet does not know about
rename and treats 2 operations: drop and add.
In that case we disable inplace algorithm for such engines as Memory,
MyISAM and Aria with ALTER_INDEX_ORDER flag. These engines have no
specialized check_if_supported_inplace_alter() and default
handler::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() sees an unknown flag and
returns HA_ALTER_INPLACE_NOT_SUPPORTED.
ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() works differently and
inplace is not disabled (with the help of modified
INNOBASE_INPLACE_IGNORE). add_drop_v_cols fork was also tweaked as it
wrongly failed with MSG_UNSUPPORTED_ALTER_ONLINE_ON_VIRTUAL_COLUMN
when it seen ALTER_INDEX_ORDER.
No-op operation must be still no-op no matter of ALTER_INDEX_ORDER
presence, so we tweek its condition as well.
This feature adds the functionality of ignorability for indexes.
Indexes are not ignored be default.
To control index ignorability explicitly for a new index,
use IGNORE or NOT IGNORE as part of the index definition for
CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, or ALTER TABLE.
Primary keys (explicit or implicit) cannot be made ignorable.
The table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS get a new column named IGNORED that
would store whether an index needs to be ignored or not.
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.

MDEV-21606 Improve update handler (long unique keys on blobs)
MDEV-21470 MyISAM and Aria start_bulk_insert doesn't work with long unique
MDEV-21606 Bug fix for previous version of this code
MDEV-21819 2 Assertion `inited == NONE || update_handler != this'
- Move update_handler from TABLE to handler
- Move out initialization of update handler from ha_write_row() to
prepare_for_insert()
- Fixed that INSERT DELAYED works with update handler
- Give an error if using long unique with an autoincrement column
- Added handler function to check if table has long unique hash indexes
- Disable write cache in MyISAM and Aria when using update_handler as
if cache is used, the row will not be inserted until end of statement
and update_handler would not find conflicting rows.
- Removed not used handler argument from
check_duplicate_long_entries_update()
- Syntax cleanups
- Indentation fixes
- Don't use single character indentifiers for arguments
The reason for hitting the assert is that rec_per_key estimates have some garbage value.
So the solution to fix this would be for long unique keys to use use rec_per_key for only 1 keypart,
that means rec_per_key[0] would have the estimate.
This patch implements engine independent unique hash index.
Usage:- Unique HASH index can be created automatically for blob/varchar/test column whose key
length > handler->max_key_length()
or it can be explicitly specified.
Automatic Creation:-
Create TABLE t1 (a blob unique);
Explicit Creation:-
Create TABLE t1 (a int , unique(a) using HASH);
Internal KEY_PART Representations:-
Long unique key_info will have 2 representations.
(lets understand this with an example create table t1(a blob, b blob , unique(a, b)); )
1. User Given Representation:- key_info->key_part array will be similar to what user has defined.
So in case of example it will have 2 key_parts (a, b)
2. Storage Engine Representation:- In this case there will be only one key_part and it will point to
HASH_FIELD. This key_part will be always after user defined key_parts.
So:- User Given Representation [a] [b] [hash_key_part]
key_info->key_part ----^
Storage Engine Representation [a] [b] [hash_key_part]
key_info->key_part ------------^
Table->s->key_info will have User Given Representation, While table->key_info will have Storage Engine
Representation.Representation can be changed into each other by calling re/setup_keyinfo_hash function.
Working:-
1. So when user specifies HASH_INDEX or key_length is > handler->max_key_length(), In mysql_prepare_create_table
One extra vfield is added (for each long unique key). And key_info->algorithm is set to HA_KEY_ALG_LONG_HASH.
2. In init_from_binary_frm_image values for hash_keypart is set (like fieldnr , field and flags)
3. In parse_vcol_defs, HASH_FIELD->vcol_info is created. Item_func_hash is used with list of Item_fields,
When Explicit length is given by user then Item_left is used to concatenate Item_field values.
4. In ha_write_row/ha_update_row check_duplicate_long_entry_key is called which will create the hash key from
table->record[0] and then call ha_index_read_map , if we found duplicated hash , we will compare the result
field by field.
