SYSTEM_TYPE partitioning: COLUMN properties removed. Partitioning is
now pure RANGE based on UNIX_TIMESTAMP(row_end).
DECIMAL type is now allowed as RANGE partitioning, we can partition by
UNIX_TIMESTAMP() (but not for DATETIME which depends on local timezone
of course).
The problem here is EITS statistics does not calculate statistics for the partitions of the table.
So a temporary solution would be to not read EITS statistics for partitioned tables.
Also disabling reading of EITS for columns that participate in the partition list of a table.
Lots of changes:
* calculate the current history partition in ::external_lock(),
not in ::write_row() or ::update_row()
* remove dynamically collected per-partition row_end stats
* no full table scan in open_table_from_share to calculate these
stats, no manual MDL/thr_locks in open_table_from_share
* no shared stats in TABLE_SHARE = no mutexes or condition waits when
calculating current history partition
* always compare timestamps, don't convert them to MYSQL_TIME
(avoid DST ambiguity, and it's faster too)
* correct interval handling, 1 month = 1 month, not 30 * 24 * 3600 seconds
* save/restore first partition start time, and count intervals from there
* only allow to drop first partitions if INTERVAL
* when adding new history partitions, split the data in the last history
parition, if it was overflowed
* show partition boundaries in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS
partition_info had a bunch of function pointers to avoid if()'s
when invoking part_type specific functionality (like get_part_id, etc).
But check_range_constants() and check_list_constants() were still
invoked conditionally, with if()'s.
Create partition_info::check_constants function pointer, get rid
of if()'s
Also remove alloc argument of check_range_constants(), added
in 26a3ff0a22. Broken system versioning will be fixed in
following commits.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
Now we don't open partitions if it was explicitly cpecified.
ha_partition::m_opened_partition bitmap added to track
partitions that were actually opened.
* based on RANGE pruning by COLUMNS (sys_trx_end) condition
* removed DEFAULT; AS OF NOW is always last; current VERSIONING as last non-empty (or first empty)
* Min/Max stats in TABLE_SHARE
* ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION adds before AS OF NOW partition
* one `AS OF NOW`, multiple `VERSIONING` partitions;
* rotation of `VERSIONING` partitions by record count, time period;
* rotation is multi-threaded;
* conventional subpartitions as bottom level for versioned partitions;
* `DEFAULT` keyword selects first `VERSIONING` partition;
* ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP partition;
* REBUILD PARTITION basic operation.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
