Transaction on the slave sql thread got blocked against a slave's mysqld local ta's
lock. Since the default, slave-transaction-retries=10, there was replaying of the
replicated ta. That failed because of a new started from 5.0.13 policy not to rollback
a timed-out transaction. Effectively the first round of a timed-out ta becomes committed
by the replaying's first "BEGIN".
It was decided to backport already existed method working in 5.1 implemented in
bug #16228 for handling symmetrical deadlock problem. That patch introduced end_trans
execution whenever a replicated ta deadlocks or timed-out.
Note, that this solution can be practically suboptimal - in the light of the changed behavior
due to timeout we still could replay only the last statement - only with a high rate of timeouting
replicated transactions.
Fixes for Bug#12429: Replication tests fail: "Slave_IO_Running" (?) differs related to MySQL 4.1
and Bug#16920 rpl_deadlock_innodb fails in show slave status (reported for MySQL 5.1)
MySQL 4.1
and Bug#16920 rpl_deadlock_innodb fails in show slave status (reported for MySQL 5.1)
- backport of several fixes done in MySQL 5.0 to 4.1
- fix for new discovered instability (see comment on Bug#12429 + Bug#16920)
- reenabling of testcases
Solution according to the comments made by Guilhem
- rpl_relayrotate Remove the SHOW SLAVE STATUS It is not needed.
- rpl_until, rpl_deadlock Omit the printing of the "Slave_IO_Running" value
This saves one byte per Query_log_event on disk compared to 5.0.[0..3]. Compatibility problems with 5.0.x where x<4
are explained in the comments in log_event.cc. Putting back s/my_open(O_TRUNC)/(my_delete+my_create) change which had
been wiped away by somebody doing a wrong 4.1->5.0 merge (which happened just
before 5.0.3 :( ). Applying it to new events for LOAD DATA INFILE.
If slave fails in Execute_load_query_log_event::exec_event(),
don't delete the file (so that it's re-usable at next START SLAVE).
And (youpi!) fix for BUG#3247 "a partially completed LOAD DATA INFILE is not
executed at all on the slave" (storing an Execute_load_query_log_event
to binlog, with its error code, instead of Delete_file_log_event).
s/sleep/safe_sleep (thread safe); sleep 0/1/2/3/4/5/5/5 (get slave less late);
no message on error log (deadlock is too common sometimes), a global counter
instead (SHOW STATUS LIKE 'slave_retried_transactions').
Plus a fix for libmysql/Makefile.shared
Now one can use user variables as target for data loaded from file
(besides table's columns). Also LOAD DATA got new SET-clause in which
one can specify values for table columns as expressions.
For example the following is possible:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'words.dat' INTO TABLE t1 (a, @b) SET c = @b + 1;
This patch also implements new way of replicating LOAD DATA.
Now we do it similarly to other queries.
We store LOAD DATA query in new Execute_load_query event
(which is last in the sequence of events representing LOAD DATA).
When we are executing this event we simply rewrite part of query which
holds name of file (we use name of temporary file) and then execute it
as usual query. In the beggining of this sequence we use Begin_load_query
event which is almost identical to Append_file event
in slave SQL thread: if a transaction fails because of InnoDB deadlock or innodb_lock_wait_timeout exceeded,
optionally retry the transaction a certain number of times (new variable --slave_transaction_retries).
