Some of the test cases reference to binlog position and
these position numbers are written into result explicitly.
It is difficult to maintain if log event format changes.
There are a couple of cases explicit position number appears,
we handle them in different ways
A. 'CHANGE MASTER ...' with MASTER_LOG_POS or/and RELAY_LOG_POS options
Use --replace_result to mask them.
B. 'SHOW BINLOG EVENT ...'
Replaced by show_binlog_events.inc or wait_for_binlog_event.inc.
show_binlog_events.inc file's function is enhanced by given
$binlog_file and $binlog_limit.
C. 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS', 'show_slave_status.inc' and 'show_slave_status2.inc'
For the test cases just care a few items in the result of 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS',
only the items related to each test case are showed.
'show_slave_status.inc' is rebuild, only the given items in $status_items
will be showed.
'check_slave_is_running.inc' and 'check_slave_no_error.inc'
and 'check_slave_param.inc' are auxiliary files helping
to show running status and error information easily.
Bug#319 if while a non-transactional slave is replicating a transaction possible problem
It is impossible to roll back a mixed engines transaction when one of the engine is
non-transaction. In replication that fact is crucial because the slave can not safely
re-apply a transction that was interrupted with STOP SLAVE.
Fixed with making STOP SLAVE not be effective immediately in the case the current
group of replication events has modified a non-transaction table. In order for slave to leave
either the group needs finishing or the user issues KILL QUERY|CONNECTION slave_thread_id.
The fix for BUG#20103 "Escaping with backslash does not work as expected"
was implemented too greedy though in that it not only changes the behavior
of backslashes within strings but in general, so disabling command shortcuts
like \G or \C (which in turn leads to Bug #36391: "mysqlbinlog creates invalid charset
statements").
The fix allows the escaping with backslash to take place only inside a string,
thus enabling the execution of command shortcuts and presevering the fix for
BUG#20103.
In order to handle CHAR() fields, 8 bits were reserved for
the size of the CHAR field. However, instead of denoting the
number of characters in the field, field_length was used which
denotes the number of bytes in the field.
Since UTF-8 fields can have three bytes per character (and
has been extended to have four bytes per character in 6.0),
an extra two bits have been encoded in the field metadata
work for fields of type Field_string (i.e., CHAR fields).
Since the metadata word is filled, the extra bits have been
encoded in the upper 4 bits of the real type (the most
significant byte of the metadata word) by computing the
bitwise xor of the extra two bits. Since the upper 4 bits
of the real type always is 1111 for Field_string, this
means that for fields of length <256, the encoding is
identical to the encoding used in pre-5.1.26 servers, but
for lengths of 256 or more, an unrecognized type is formed,
causing an old slave (that does not handle lengths of 256
or more) to stop.
The crash appeared to be a result of allocating an instance of Discrete_interval
automatically that that was referred in out-of-declaration scope.
Fixed with correcting backing up and restoring scheme of
auto_inc_intervals_forced, introduced by bug#33029, by means of shallow copying;
added simulation code that forces executing those fixes of the former bug that
targeted at master-and-slave having incompatible bug#33029-prone versions.
In the patch for BUG#21842, the code for handling old rows events were
refactored. There were a bug in the refactored code (possibly introduced
after the patch for BUG#21842) that caused caused the refactored old events
to read a columns bitmap after image even though there is no such bitmap
for old events. As a result, the reading got out of sync, and started reading
invalid data.
This patch removes all trace of the after image column bitmap from the refactored
old events and removes functions that are no longer needed because they are empty.
