Analysis (BUG#719198):
The assert failed because the execution code for
partial matching is designed with the assumption that
NULLs on the left side are detected as early as possible,
and a NULL result is returned before any lookups are
performed at all.
However, in the case of an Item_cache object on the left
side, null was not detected properly, because detection
was done via Item::is_null(), which is not implemented at
all for Item_cache, and resolved to the default Item::is_null()
which always returns FALSE.
Solution:
Imlpement Item::is_null().
******
Analysis (BUG#730604):
The method Item_field::is_null() determines if an item is NULL from its
Item_field::field object. However, for Item_fields that represent internal
temporary tables, Item_field::field represents the field of the original
table that was the source for the temporary table (in this case t1.f3).
Both in the committed test case, and in the original bug report the current
value of t1.f3 is not NULL. This results in an incorrect count of NULLs
for this column. As a consequence, all related Ordered_key buffers are
allocated with incorrect sizes. Depending on the exact query and data,
these incorrect sizes result in various crashes or failed asserts.
Solution:
The correct value of the current field of the internal temp table is
in Item_field::result_field. This value is determined by
Item::is_null_result().
Fix MySQL BUG#52344 - Subquery materialization: Assertion if subquery in on-clause of outer join
Original fix and comments from Oysten, adjusted for the different
subquery optimization in MariaDB.
"
Problem: If tables of an outer join are constant tables,
the associated on-clause will be evaluated in the optimization
phase. If the on-clause contains a query that is to be
executed with subquery materialization, this will not work
since the infrastructure for such execution is not yet set up.
Solution: Do not evaluate on-clause in optimization phase if
is_expensive() returns true for this clause. This is how the
problem is currently avoided for where-clauses. This works
because, Item_in_subselect::is_expensive_processor returns true
if query is to be executed with subquery materialization.
"
In addition, after MWL#89, in MariaDB if the IN-EXISTS strategy
is chosen, the in-to-exists predicates are insterted after
join_read_const_table() is called, resulting in evaluation of
the subquery without the in-to-exists predicates.
The bug was a result of missing logic to handle the case
when there are 'expensive' predicates that are not evaluated
during constant table optimization. Such is the case for
the IN predicate, which is considered expensive if it is
computed via materialization. In general this bug can be
triggered with any expensive predicate instead of IN.
When FALSE constant predicates are not evaluated during constant
optimization, the execution path changes so that instead of
setting JOIN::zero_result_cause after make_join_select, and
exiting JOIN::exec via the call to return_zero_rows(), execution
ends in JOIN::exec in the branch:
if (join->tables == join->const_tables)
{
...
else if (join->send_row_on_empty_set())
...
rc= join->result->send_data(*columns_list);
}
Unlike return_zero_rows(), this branch didn't evaluate the
having clause of the query.
The patch adds a call to evaluate the HAVING clause of a query even
when all tables are constant, because even for an empty result set
some aggregate functions may produce a NULL value.
was not cleaned up between PS re-executions. The reason was two-fold:
- a merge with mysql-6.0 missed select_union::cleanup() that should
have cleaned up the temp table, and
- the subclass of select_union used by materialization didn't call
the base class cleanup() method.
