that implement add_index
The problem was that ALTER TABLE blocked reads on an InnoDB table
while adding a secondary index, even if this was not needed. It is
only needed for the final step where the .frm file is updated.
The reason queries were blocked, was that ALTER TABLE upgraded the
metadata lock from MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE (which blocks writes) to
MDL_EXCLUSIVE (which blocks all accesses) before index creation.
The way the server handles index creation, is that storage engines
publish their capabilities to the server and the server determines
which of the following three ways this can be handled: 1) build a
new version of the table; 2) change the existing table but with
exclusive metadata lock; 3) change the existing table but without
metadata lock upgrade.
For InnoDB and secondary index creation, option 3) should have been
selected. However this failed for two reasons. First, InnoDB did
not publish this capability properly.
Second, the ALTER TABLE code failed to made proper use of the
information supplied by the storage engine. A variable
need_lock_for_indexes was set accordingly, but was not later used.
This patch fixes this problem by only doing metadata lock upgrade
before index creation/deletion if this variable has been set.
This patch also changes some of the related terminology used
in the code. Specifically the use of "fast" and "online" with
respect to ALTER TABLE. "Fast" was used to indicate that an
ALTER TABLE operation could be done without involving a
temporary table. "Fast" has been renamed "in-place" to more
accurately describe the behavior.
"Online" meant that the operation could be done without taking
a table lock. However, in the current implementation writes
are always prohibited during ALTER TABLE and an exclusive
metadata lock is held while updating the .frm, so ALTER TABLE
is not completely online. This patch replaces "online" with
"in-place", with additional comments indicating if concurrent
reads are allowed during index creation/deletion or not.
An important part of this update of terminology is renaming
of the handler flags used by handlers to indicate if index
creation/deletion can be done in-place and if concurrent reads
are allowed. For example, the HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITES
flag has been renamed to HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_READ_WRITE,
while HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX is now HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITE.
Note that this is a rename to clarify current behavior, the
flag values have not changed and no flags have been removed or
added.
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
Fix backported from to 5.0.

over the mutex list and free each mutex. When UNIV_MEM_DEBUG is defined, we
need skip the hash mutex.
It is a minor bug affecting only UNIV_SYNC_DEBUG builds, found by Michael.
due to potentially uninitialized variable
row_upd_changes_ord_field_binary(): Initialize dfield_len to suppress the
warning. The compiler cannot know that row_ext_lookup() does initialize
dfield_len for us, as it is defined in a different module.
buf_block_alloc(): ulint zip_size is always 0.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): ulint zip_size is always 0.
buf_LRU_free_block(): ibool* buf_pool_mutex_released is always NULL.
Remove these parameters.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Simplify the initialization of block->page.zip
and release buf_pool_mutex() earlier.
There are two main pain points, one is lookup by thread id for sync_thread_t
and the other is to do a lookup by latch or level in sync_thread_t::levels.
Changed the sync_thread_t::levels lookup and reserve operation from O(N)
to O(1).
Pure lookups are still O(N), the main change for pure lookup is that we no
longer need to search up to SYNC_THREAD_N_LEVELS but only up to the number
of slots actually ever used ie. it is possible some were used in the past
but are now on the free list. If the in_use count drops to 0 we reset the
free list too.
Overload the sync_level_t::level field to track the free list. If
sync_thread_t::latch == NULL then sync_thread_t::level contains the ordinal
value of the previous free entry.
rb://580 Approved by Jimmy Yang.
Race condition may occur: mtr sees the .expect file but it's empty
Fix: wait and try again if file is empty
Addendum: try again if line isn't 'wait' or 'restart'
Also added verbose printout of extra restart options

When dates are represented internally as strings, i.e. when a string constant
is compared to a date value, both values are converted to long integers,
ostensibly for fast comparisons. DATE typed integer values are converted to
DATETIME by multiplying by 1,000,000 (each digit pair representing hour,
minute and second, respectively). But the mechanism did not distuinguish
cached INTEGER values, already in correct format, from newly converted
strings.
Fixed by marking the INTEGER cache as being of DATETIME format.
The test were using external tools not available for embedded.
Fixed by rewriting the test to not rely on external tools like the mysql-client
Also fixed some non portable --exec commands and replaced #p# to #P# to pass
on windows.
