when replicating
The function create_virtual_tmp_table does not
set db_low_byte_first in the same way as
create_tmp_table does, causing copying from
the virtual table to a real table to get strange
values for SET types on big-endian machines.
The bug is caused by a race condition between the
INSERT DELAYED thread and the client thread's FLUSH TABLE. The
FLUSH TABLE does not guarantee (as is (wrongly) suggested in the
test case) that the INSERT DELAYED is ever executed. The
execution of the test case will thus not be deterministic.
The fix has been to do a deterministic verification that both
threads are complete by checking the content of the table.
This test case tests a circular replication of four hosts.
A--->B--->C--->D--->A
The replicate is slow and needs more time to replicate all data in the circle.
The time it spends to replicate, sometimes, is longer than the time that
wait_condition.inc spends to wait that all data has been replicated. This
cause sporadical failure of this test case.
This patch uses sync_slave_with_master to ensure that all data can be replicated
successfully in the circle.
for InnoDB
The class Field_bit_as_char stores the metadata for the
field incorrecly because bytes_in_rec and bit_len are set
to (field_length + 7 ) / 8 and 0 respectively, while
Field_bit has the correct values field_length / 8 and
field_length % 8.
Solved the problem by re-computing the values for the
metadata based on the field_length instead of using the
bytes_in_rec and bit_len variables.
To handle compatibility with old server, a table map
flag was added to indicate that the bit computation is
exact. If the flag is clear, the slave computes the
number of bytes required to store the bit field and
compares that instead, effectively allowing replication
*without conversion* from any field length that require
the same number of bytes to store.
'LOAD DATA CONCURRENT [LOCAL] INFILE ...' statment only is binlogged as
'LOAD DATA [LOCAL] INFILE ...' in SBR and MBR. As a result, if replication is on,
queries on slaves will be blocked by the replication SQL thread.
This patch write code to write 'CONCURRENT' into the log event if 'CONCURRENT' option
is in the original statement in SBR and MBR.
Problem: The test was written before BUG#45827 was fixed.
The test contained code that assumed the wrong behavior,
pre-BUG#45827. Then, the fix for BUG#45827 was merged
from 5.1-rep+2 to 5.1-rep+3. Since the test case assumed
the wrong behavior, it failed. This should have been fixed
by making the test assume the correct behavior, but was
fixed by updating the result file to assert failure.
Fix 1: fix the test to assume correct behavior
(post-BUG#45827), update result file.
Fix 2: make test fail with 'die' instead of 'exit' when
wrong behavior is detected. Thus, the test cannot be
silenced with a wrong result file in case the behavior
will change again.
Row-based replication requires the types of columns on the
master and slave to be approximately the same (some safe
conversions between strings are allowed), but does not
allow safe conversions between fields of similar types such
as TINYINT and INT.
This patch implement type conversions between similar fields
on the master and slave.
The conversions are controlled using a new variable
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS of type SET('ALL_LOSSY','ALL_NON_LOSSY').
Non-lossy conversions are any conversions that do not run the
risk of losing any information, while lossy conversions can
potentially truncate the value. The column definitions are
checked to decide if the conversion is acceptable.
If neither conversion is enabled, it is required that the
definitions of the columns are identical on master and slave.
Conversion is done by creating an internal conversion table,
unpacking the master data into it, and then copy the data to
the real table on the slave.
This fix changes the character set used within the
IBMDB2I handler to hash table names to information
about open tables. Previously, tables with names
that differed only in letter case would hash to the
same data structure. This caused incorrect behavior
or errors when two such tables were in use simultaneously.
{PROCEDURE|FUNCTION} FROM ...'
The master would hit an assertion when binary log was
active. This was due to the fact that the thread's diagnostics
area was being cleared before writing to the binlog,
independently of mysql_routine_grant returning an error or
not. When mysql_routine_grant was to return an error, the return
value and the diagnostics area contents would
mismatch. Consequently, neither my_ok would be called nor an
error would be signaled in the diagnostics area, eventually
triggering the assertion in net_end_statement.
We fix this by not clearing the diagnostics area at binlogging
time.
escaped field names
When in mixed or statement mode, the master logs LOAD DATA
queries by resorting to an Execute_load_query_log_event. This
event does not contain the original query, but a rewritten
version of it, which includes the table field names. However, the
rewrite does not escape the field names. If these names match a
reserved keyword, then the slave will stop with a syntax error
when executing the event.
We fix this by escaping the fields names as it happens already
for the table name.
This patch fixes three bugs as follows. First, aborting the server while purging
binary logs might generate orphan files due to how the purge operation was
implemented:
(purge routine - sql/log.cc - MYSQL_BIN_LOG::purge_logs)
1 - register the files to be removed in a temporary buffer.
2 - update the log-bin.index.
3 - flush the log-bin.index.
4 - erase the files whose names where register in the temporary buffer
in step 1.
Thus a failure while executing step 4 would generate an orphan file. Second,
a similar issue might happen while creating a new binary as follows:
(create routine - sql/log.cc - MYSQL_BIN_LOG::open)
1 - open the new log-bin.
2 - update the log-bin.index.
Thus a failure while executing step 1 would generate an orphan file.
To fix these issues, we record the files to be purged or created before really
removing or adding them. So if a failure happens such records can be used to
automatically remove dangling files. The new steps might be outlined as follows:
(purge routine - sql/log.cc - MYSQL_BIN_LOG::purge_logs)
1 - register the files to be removed in the log-bin.~rec~ placed in
the data directory.
2 - update the log-bin.index.
3 - flush the log-bin.index.
4 - delete the log-bin.~rec~.
(create routine - sql/log.cc - MYSQL_BIN_LOG::open)
1 - register the file to be created in the log-bin.~rec~
placed in the data directory.
2 - open the new log-bin.
3 - update the log-bin.index.
4 - delete the log-bin.~rec~.
(recovery routine - sql/log.cc - MYSQL_BIN_LOG::open_index_file)
1 - open the log-bin.index.
2 - open the log-bin.~rec~.
3 - for each file in log-bin.~rec~.
3.1 Check if the file is in the log-bin.index and if so ignore it.
3.2 Otherwise, delete it.
The third issue can be described as follows. The purge operation was allowing
to remove a file in use thus leading to the loss of data and possible
inconsistencies between the master and slave. Roughly, the routine was only
taking into account the dump threads and so if a slave was not connect the
file might be delete even though it was in use.
