UNION ALL queries are a subject of optimization introduced in MDEV-334
when creation of a temporary table is skipped.
While there is a check for this optimization in Explain_union::print_explain()
there was no such in Explain_union::print_explain_json(). This resulted in
printing irrelevant data like:
"union_result": {
"table_name": "<union2,3>",
"access_type": "ALL",
"r_loops": 0,
"r_rows": null
in case when creation of the temporary table was actually optimized out.
This commits adds a check whether the temporary table was actually created
during the UNION ALL processing and eliminates printing of the irrelevant data.
This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
- multi_range_read_info_const now uses the new records_in_range interface
- Added handler::avg_io_cost()
- Don't calculate avg_io_cost() in get_sweep_read_cost if avg_io_cost is
not 1.0. In this case we trust the avg_io_cost() from the handler.
- Changed test_quick_select to use TIME_FOR_COMPARE instead of
TIME_FOR_COMPARE_IDX to align this with the rest of the code.
- Fixed bug when using test_if_cheaper_ordering where we didn't use
keyread if index was changed
- Fixed a bug where we didn't use index only read when using order-by-index
- Added keyread_time() to HEAP.
The default keyread_time() was optimized for blocks and not suitable for
HEAP. The effect was the HEAP prefered table scans over ranges for btree
indexes.
- Fixed get_sweep_read_cost() for HEAP tables
- Ensure that range and ref have same cost for simple ranges
Added a small cost (MULTI_RANGE_READ_SETUP_COST) to ranges to ensure
we favior ref for range for simple queries.
- Fixed that matching_candidates_in_table() uses same number of records
as the rest of the optimizer
- Added avg_io_cost() to JT_EQ_REF cost. This helps calculate the cost for
HEAP and temporary tables better. A few tests changed because of this.
- heap::read_time() and heap::keyread_time() adjusted to not add +1.
This was to ensure that handler::keyread_time() doesn't give
higher cost for heap tables than for normal tables. One effect of
this is that heap and derived tables stored in heap will prefer
key access as this is now regarded as cheap.
- Changed cost for index read in sql_select.cc to match
multi_range_read_info_const(). All index cost calculation is now
done trough one function.
- 'ref' will now use quick_cost for keys if it exists. This is done
so that for '=' ranges, 'ref' is prefered over 'range'.
- scan_time() now takes avg_io_costs() into account
- get_delayed_table_estimates() uses block_size and avg_io_cost()
- Removed default argument to test_if_order_by_key(); simplifies code
Count the "gap" time between table accesses and display it as
r_other_time_ms in the "table" element.
* The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't add any new
my_timer_cycles() calls.
* The disadvantage is that the definition of what is done during
"other time" is not that clear: it includes checking the WHERE
(for this table), constructing index lookup tuple (for the next table)
writing to GROUP BY temporary table (as we dont account for that time
separately [yet], etc)
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
