This is the 5.5 version of the fix. The 5.1 version was too complicated to
merge and was null merged.
This is a regression from the fix for bug no 38999. A storage engine capable
of reading only a subset of a table's columns updates corresponding bits in
the read buffer to signal that it has read NULL values for the corresponding
columns. It cannot, and should not, update any other bits. Bug no 38999
occurred because the implementation of UPDATE statements compare the NULL bits
using memcmp, inadvertently comparing bits that were never requested from the
storage engine. The regression was caused by the storage engine trying to
alleviate the situation by writing to all NULL bits, even those that it had no
knowledge of. This has devastating effects for the index merge algorithm,
which relies on all NULL bits, except those explicitly requested, being left
unchanged.
The fix reverts the fix for bug no 38999 in both InnoDB and InnoDB plugin and
changes the server's method of comparing records. For engines that always read
entire rows, we proceed as usual. For engines capable of reading only select
columns, the record buffers are now compared on a column by column basis. An
assertion was also added so that non comparable buffers are never read. Some
relevant copy-pasted code was also consolidated in a new function.
Subselect executes twice, at JOIN::optimize stage
and at JOIN::execute stage. At optimize stage
Innodb prebuilt struct which is used for the
retrieval of column values is initialized in.
ha_innobase::index_read(), prebuilt->sql_stat_start is true.
After QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT finished his job it
restores read_set/write_set bitmaps with initial values
and deactivates one of the handlers used by
QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT in JOIN::cleanup
(it's the case when we reuse original handler as one of
handlers required by QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT object).
On second subselect execution inactive handler is activated
in QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::reset, file->ha_index_init().
In ha_index_init Innodb prebuilt struct is reinitialized
with inappropriate read_set/write_set bitmaps. Further
reinitialization in ha_innobase::index_read() does not
happen as prebuilt->sql_stat_start is false.
It leads to partial retrieval of required field values
and we get a mix of field values from different records
in the record buffer.
The fix is to reset
read_set/write_set bitmaps as these values
are required for proper intialization of
internal InnoDB struct which is used for
the retrieval of column values
(see build_template(), ha_innodb.cc)
"set engine_condition_pushdown" is deprecated, engine condition pushdown is controlled
by a new "set optimizer_switch=engine_condition_pushdown=on|off".

- Add support for setting it as a server commandline argument
- Add support for those switches:
= no_index_merge
= no_index_merge_union
= no_index_merge_sort_union
= no_index_merge_intersection
- added join cache indication in EXPLAIN (Extra column).
- prefer filesort over full scan over
index for ORDER BY (because it's faster).
- when switching from REF to RANGE because
RANGE uses longer key turn off sort on
the head table only as the resulting
RANGE access is a candidate for join cache
and we don't want to disable it by sorting
on the first table only.
WL#3397 Refactoring storage engine test cases (for falcon)
It contains also fixes according to code review.
Contents: Testcases which were in history dedicated to InnoDB or MyISAM only.
Modifications:
1. Shift the main testing code into include/<testing field>.inc
Introduce $variables which can be used to omit tests for features which are not supported by
certain storage engines.
2. The storage engine to be tested is assigned within the toplevel script (t/<whatever>_<engine>.test)
via variable $engine_type and the the main testing code is sourced from
include/<testing field>.inc
3. Some toplevel testscripts have to be renamed to
- avoid immediate or future namespace clashes
- show via filename which storage engine is tested
4. Minor code cleanup like remove trailing spaces, some additional comments ....
