"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.
"Change in behavior --default-storage-engine=ndb or ndbcluster"
Reduce use of legacy_db_type, some code cleanup
(serg read my mind and implemented desired mysqld.cc changes)
duplicate fields removed, st_mysql_storage_engine added to support
run-time handlerton initialization (no compiler warnings), handler API
is now tied to MySQL version, handlerton->plugin mapping added
(slot-based), dummy default_hton removed, plugin-type-specific
initialization generalized, built-in plugins are now initialized too,
--default-storage-engine no longer needs a list of storage engines
in handle_options().
mysql-test-run.pl bugfixes
The patch adds DYNAMIC_ARRAY all_status_vars, which is now the
sole source of status information for SHOW STATUS. Status
variables can be added to and removed from the array dynamically.
SHOW STATUS command uses this array instead of static array
from mysqld.cc
Compatibility with the old, global list of status variables is
preserved in init_server_components(), where this global list is
simply appended to all_status_vars.
