and BUG#19208 "Test 'rpl000017' hangs on Windows".
Both bugs are caused by attempting to delete an opened
file and to create immediatedly a new one with the same
name. On Windows it can be supported only on NT-platforms
(by using FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode and with renaming the
file before deletion). Because deleting not-closed files
is not supported on all platforms (e.g. Win 98|ME) this
is to be considered harmful and should be eliminated by
a "code redesign".
Post recent handler changes, fast count(*) for cluster was broken.
Seeing as we maintain an exact count for ndb, we can easily use this for an optimisation.
With this patch, and use_exact_count DISABLED, we will use the fast way
of getting count(*) but not use the exact count for the optimiser.
With this patch and use_exact_count ENABLED, we will use the fast way of
getting count(*) and use the exact count for the optimiser.
'SELECT DISTINCT a,b FROM t1' should not use temp table if there is unique
index (or primary key) on a.
There are a number of other similar cases that can be calculated without the
use of a temp table : multi-part unique indexes, primary keys or using GROUP BY
instead of DISTINCT.
When a GROUP BY/DISTINCT clause contains all key parts of a unique
index, then it is guaranteed that the fields of the clause will be
unique, therefore we can optimize away GROUP BY/DISTINCT altogether.
This optimization has two effects:
* there is no need to create a temporary table to compute the
GROUP/DISTINCT operation (or the temporary table will be smaller if only GROUP
is removed and DISTINCT stays or if DISTINCT is removed and GROUP BY stays)
* this causes the statement in effect to become updatable in Connector/Java
because the result set columns will be direct reference to the primary key of
the table (instead to the temporary table that it currently references).
Implemented a check that will optimize away GROUP BY/DISTINCT for queries like
the above.
Currently it will work only for single non-constant table in the FROM clause.
- make sure to allocate just enough pages in the fragments by using the actual
row count from the backup, to avoid over allocation of pages to fragments, and
thus avoid the bug
Addendum fixes after changing the condition variable
for the global read lock.
The stress test suite revealed some deadlocks. Some were
related to the new condition variable (COND_global_read_lock)
and some were general problems with the global read lock.
It is now necessary to signal COND_global_read_lock whenever
COND_refresh is signalled.
We need to wait for the release of a global read lock if one
is set before every operation that requires a write lock.
But we must not wait if we have locked tables by LOCK TABLES.
After setting a global read lock a thread waits until all
write locks are released.
The 250 simultaneous events all accessing the same table caused the
events_stress test to fail due to debug warnings about too many table
waiters. Fixed by using three different tables.
