Online alter and replication paths differ quite noticeably. It's time to
fix the mess. Online alter has to unpack the old table's data
(here conv_table), and then convert, while replication requires more
sophisticated track: handle possible conversions, treat extra replica
fields, and carefully deduce master's record length.
* Extract unpack_field.
* handle the unpacking progress through a state machine presented by
Unpack_record_state struct.
* Stick most of the online alter unpacking together under a single
conditional branch.
We can't rely on keys formed with columns that were added during this
ALTER. These columns can be set with non-deterministic values, which can
end up with broken or incorrect search.
The same applies to the keys that contain reliable columns, but also have
bogus ones. Using them can narrow the search, but they're also ignored.
Also, added columns shouldn't be considered during the record match. To
determine them, table->has_value_set bitmap is used.
To fill has_value_set bitmap in the find_key call, extra unpack_row call
has been added.
For replication case, extra replica columns can be considered for this
case. We try to ignore them, too.
* in online ALTER it must include the complete new row,
note that an UPDATE should set all extra columns to their
default values, as if UPDATE was completely done before the ALTER.
* in rpl WRITE_ROWS_EVENT it must include all extra slave columns,
but not existing columns unmarked in the m_cols (sequences do that)
* in rpl UPDATE/DELETE events it should follow m_cols_ai
also: default values must be updated for WRITE_ROWS_EVENT and
for UPDATE/DELETE in the online ALTER mode, see above.
Update the result file accordingly.
Extend bitmap_copy() to support arguments of different lengths
We shouldn't rely on `fill_extra_persistent_columns`, as it only updates
fields which have an index > cols->n_bits (replication bitmap width).
Actually, it should never be used, as its approach is error-prone.
Normal update_virtual_fields+update_default_fields should be done.
* Log rows in online_alter_binlog.
* Table online data is replicated within dedicated binlog file
* Cached data is written on commit.
* Versioning is fully supported.
* Works both wit and without binlog enabled.
* For now savepoints setup is forbidden while ONLINE ALTER goes on.
Extra support is required. We can simply log the SAVEPOINT query events
and replicate them together with row events. But it's not implemented
for now.
* Cache flipping:
We want to care for the possible bottleneck in the online alter binlog
reading/writing in advance.
IO_CACHE does not provide anything better that sequential access,
besides, only a single write is mutex-protected, which is not suitable,
since we should write a transaction atomically.
To solve this, a special layer on top Event_log is implemented.
There are two IO_CACHE files underneath: one for reading, and one for
writing.
Once the read cache is empty, an exclusive lock is acquired (we can wait
for a currently active transaction finish writing), and flip() is emitted,
i.e. the write cache is reopened for read, and the read cache is emptied,
and reopened for writing.
This reminds a buffer flip that happens in accelerated graphics
(DirectX/OpenGL/etc).
Cache_flip_event_log is considered non-blocking for a single reader and a
single writer in this sense, with the only lock held by reader during flip.
An alternative approach by implementing a fair concurrent circular buffer
is described in MDEV-24676.
* Cache managers:
We have two cache sinks: statement and transactional.
It is important that the changes are first cached per-statement and
per-transaction.
If a statement fails, then only statement data is rolled back. The
transaction moves along, however.
Turns out, there's no guarantee that TABLE well persist in
thd->open_tables to the transaction commit moment.
If an error occurs, tables from statement are purged.
Therefore, we can't store te caches in TABLE. Ideally, it should be
handlerton, but we cut the corner and store it in THD in a list.
unpack_row() must calculate all stored and indexed vcols
(in fill_extra_persistent_columns()).
Also Update and Delete row events must mark in read_set
all columns needed for calculating all stored and indexed vcols.
If it's done properly in do_apply_event(), it no longer needs
to be repeated per row.
In commit 28325b0863
a compile-time option was introduced to disable the macros
DBUG_ENTER and DBUG_RETURN or DBUG_VOID_RETURN.
The parameter name WITH_DBUG_TRACE would hint that it also
covers DBUG_PRINT statements. Let us do that: WITH_DBUG_TRACE=OFF
shall disable DBUG_PRINT() as well.
A few InnoDB recovery tests used to check that some output from
DBUG_PRINT("ib_log", ...) is present. We can live without those checks.

Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)

- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING

changes in query execution plans.
Fixed by introducing table->rpl_write_set which holds which columns should
be stored in the binary log.
Other things:
- Removed some not needed references to read_set and write_set to make
code really changing read_set and write_set easier to read
(in opt_range.cc)
- Added error handling of failed unpack_current_row()
- Added missing call to mark_columns_needed_for_insert() for DELAYED INSERT
- Removed not used functions in_read_set() and in_write_set()
- In rpl_record.cc, removed not used variable error
- Changed ER(ER_...) to ER_THD(thd, ER_...) when thd was known or if there was many calls to current_thd in the same function.
- Changed ER(ER_..) to ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT(current_thd, ER...) in some places where current_thd is not necessary defined.
- Removing calls to current_thd when we have access to thd
Part of this is optimization (not calling current_thd when not needed),
but part is bug fixing for error condition when current_thd is not defined
(For example on startup and end of mysqld)
Notable renames done as otherwise a lot of functions would have to be changed:
- In JOIN structure renamed:
examined_rows -> join_examined_rows
record_count -> join_record_count
- In Field, renamed new_field() to make_new_field()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ASSERT(thd == tmp_thd) in Item_singlerow_subselect() just to be safe.
- Removed old 'tab' prefix in JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data() and use members directly
- Added 'thd' as argument to a few functions to avoid calling current_thd.
When writing rows with a minimal row image, it is possible to receive
empty events. In that case m_curr_row and m_rows_end are the same,
however the event implies an insert into the table with the default
values associated for that table.
