Fix this by passing the HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DELETE onto the newly added or about to be dropped partitions
so they have an opportunity to close their OS file handle.
Also, moved some of the code out of handler.h and into partition specific files for better
separation.
Also, moved some of the C funcs into partition_info as formal C++ methods
Final patch
-----------
This WL is about using this bitmap in all parts of the partition handler.
Thus for:
rnd_init/rnd_next
index_init/index_next and all other variants of index scans
read_range_... the various range scans implemented in the partition handler.
Also use those bitmaps in the various other calls that currently loop over all
partitions.
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
The previous variant where it was a specific ha_partition method
only worked for the partition handler. It was unfortunately called also
for the NDB handler and in this case it called a random method in the
NDB handler with random input.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
