This was to remove a performance regression between 10.3 and 10.4
In 10.5 we will have a better implementation of records_in_range
that will enable us to get more statistics.
This change was not done in 10.4 because the 10.5 will be part of
a larger change that is not suitable for the GA 10.4 version
Other things:
- Changed default handler block_size to 8192 to fix things statistics
for engines that doesn't set the block size.
- Fixed a bug in spider when using multiple part const ranges
(Patch from Kentoku)
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
Backport the fix olav.sandstaa@sun.com-20101102184747-qfuntqwj021imy9r:
"Fix for Bug#52660 Perf. regr. using ICP for MyISAM on range queries on an index containing TEXT"
(together with further fixes in that code) into MyISAM and Aria.
The function add_ref_to_table_cond missed updating the value of
join_tab->pre_idx_push_select_cond after having updated the value
of join_tab->select->pre_idx_push_select_cond.
The bug happened because in some cases the function JOIN::exec
did not save the value of TABLE::pre_idx_push_select_cond in
TABLE::select->pre_idx_push_select_cond for the sort table.
Noticed and fixed a bug in the function make_cond_remainder
that builds the remainder condition after extraction of an index
pushdown condition from the where condition. The code
erroneously assumed that the function make_cond_for_table left
the value of ICP_COND_USES_INDEX_ONLY in sub-condition markers.
Adjusted many result files from the regression test suite
after this fix .
The call of the virtual function cancel_pushed_idx_cond in the code of
the function test_if_skip_sort_order was misplaced when backporting the
fix for bug 58816.

Test cases for the following "ICP for InnoDB" bugs:
Bug#40992 InnoDB: Crash when engine_condition_pushdown is on
Bug#35080 Innodb crash at mem_block_get_len line 72
Bug#41996 multi-table delete crashes server (InnoDB table)
Bug#43448 Server crashes on multi table delete with Innodb
All these bugs are duplicates of either one or both of Bug 43360 or 36981.
