Implement lock-ddl-per-table option that locks tables before it
is copied to backup, and helds the lock until backup finished
The "DDL-lock" itself is implemented as "SELECT * from <table> LIMIT 0",
inside a transaction, and "COMMIT" of this transaction is the DDL-unlock.
InnoDB I/O and buffer pool interfaces and the redo log format
have been changed between MariaDB 10.1 and 10.2, and the backup
code has to be adjusted accordingly.
The code has been simplified, and many memory leaks have been fixed.
Instead of the file name xtrabackup_logfile, the file name ib_logfile0
is being used for the copy of the redo log. Unnecessary InnoDB startup and
shutdown and some unnecessary threads have been removed.
Some help was provided by Vladislav Vaintroub.
Parameters have been cleaned up and aligned with those of MariaDB 10.2.
The --dbug option has been added, so that in debug builds,
--dbug=d,ib_log can be specified to enable diagnostic messages
for processing redo log entries.
By default, innodb_doublewrite=OFF, so that --prepare works faster.
If more crash-safety for --prepare is needed, double buffering
can be enabled.
The parameter innodb_log_checksums=OFF can be used to ignore redo log
checksums in --backup.
Some messages have been cleaned up.
Unless --export is specified, Mariabackup will not deal with undo log.
The InnoDB mini-transaction redo log is not only about user-level
transactions; it is actually about mini-transactions. To avoid confusion,
call it the redo log, not transaction log.
We disable any undo log processing in --prepare.
Because MariaDB 10.2 supports indexed virtual columns, the
undo log processing would need to be able to evaluate virtual column
expressions. To reduce the amount of code dependencies, we will not
process any undo log in prepare.
This means that the --export option must be disabled for now.
This also means that the following options are redundant
and have been removed:
xtrabackup --apply-log-only
innobackupex --redo-only
In addition to disabling any undo log processing, we will disable any
further changes to data pages during --prepare, including the change
buffer merge. This means that restoring incremental backups should
reliably work even when change buffering is being used on the server.
Because of this, preparing a backup will not generate any further
redo log, and the redo log file can be safely deleted. (If the
--export option is enabled in the future, it must generate redo log
when processing undo logs and buffered changes.)
In --prepare, we cannot easily know if a partial backup was used,
especially when restoring a series of incremental backups. So, we
simply warn about any missing files, and ignore the redo log for them.
FIXME: Enable the --export option.
FIXME: Improve the handling of the MLOG_INDEX_LOAD record, and write
a test that initiates a backup while an ALGORITHM=INPLACE operation
is creating indexes or rebuilding a table. An error should be detected
when preparing the backup.
FIXME: In --incremental --prepare, xtrabackup_apply_delta() should
ensure that if FSP_SIZE is modified, the file size will be adjusted
accordingly.
The following options will be removed:
innodb_file_format
innodb_file_format_check
innodb_file_format_max
innodb_large_prefix
They have been deprecated in MySQL 5.7.7 (and MariaDB 10.2.2) in WL#7703.
The file_format column in two INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables will be removed:
innodb_sys_tablespaces
innodb_sys_tables
Code to update the file format tag at the end of page 0:5
(TRX_SYS_PAGE in the InnoDB system tablespace) will be removed.
When initializing a new database, the bytes will remain 0.
All references to the Barracuda file format will be removed.
Some references to the Antelope file format (meaning
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT or ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT) will remain.
This basically ports WL#7704 from MySQL 8.0.0 to MariaDB 10.3.1:
