that implement add_index
The problem was that ALTER TABLE blocked reads on an InnoDB table
while adding a secondary index, even if this was not needed. It is
only needed for the final step where the .frm file is updated.
The reason queries were blocked, was that ALTER TABLE upgraded the
metadata lock from MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE (which blocks writes) to
MDL_EXCLUSIVE (which blocks all accesses) before index creation.
The way the server handles index creation, is that storage engines
publish their capabilities to the server and the server determines
which of the following three ways this can be handled: 1) build a
new version of the table; 2) change the existing table but with
exclusive metadata lock; 3) change the existing table but without
metadata lock upgrade.
For InnoDB and secondary index creation, option 3) should have been
selected. However this failed for two reasons. First, InnoDB did
not publish this capability properly.
Second, the ALTER TABLE code failed to made proper use of the
information supplied by the storage engine. A variable
need_lock_for_indexes was set accordingly, but was not later used.
This patch fixes this problem by only doing metadata lock upgrade
before index creation/deletion if this variable has been set.
This patch also changes some of the related terminology used
in the code. Specifically the use of "fast" and "online" with
respect to ALTER TABLE. "Fast" was used to indicate that an
ALTER TABLE operation could be done without involving a
temporary table. "Fast" has been renamed "in-place" to more
accurately describe the behavior.
"Online" meant that the operation could be done without taking
a table lock. However, in the current implementation writes
are always prohibited during ALTER TABLE and an exclusive
metadata lock is held while updating the .frm, so ALTER TABLE
is not completely online. This patch replaces "online" with
"in-place", with additional comments indicating if concurrent
reads are allowed during index creation/deletion or not.
An important part of this update of terminology is renaming
of the handler flags used by handlers to indicate if index
creation/deletion can be done in-place and if concurrent reads
are allowed. For example, the HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITES
flag has been renamed to HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_READ_WRITE,
while HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX is now HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITE.
Note that this is a rename to clarify current behavior, the
flag values have not changed and no flags have been removed or
added.
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
Race condition may occur: mtr sees the .expect file but it's empty
Fix: wait and try again if file is empty
Addendum: try again if line isn't 'wait' or 'restart'
Also added verbose printout of extra restart options

When dates are represented internally as strings, i.e. when a string constant
is compared to a date value, both values are converted to long integers,
ostensibly for fast comparisons. DATE typed integer values are converted to
DATETIME by multiplying by 1,000,000 (each digit pair representing hour,
minute and second, respectively). But the mechanism did not distuinguish
cached INTEGER values, already in correct format, from newly converted
strings.
Fixed by marking the INTEGER cache as being of DATETIME format.
rpl_packet got a timeout failure sporadically on PB when stopping
slave. The real reason of this bug is that STOP SLAVE stopped
IO thread first and then stopped SQL thread. It was
possible that IO thread stopped after replicating part of a
transaction which SQL thread was executing. SQL thread would
be hung if the transaction could not be rolled back safely.
After this patch, STOP SLAVE will stop SQL thread first and then stop IO
thread, which guarantees that IO thread will fetch the reset of the
events of the transaction that SQL thread is executing, so that SQL
thread can finish the transaction if it cannot be rolled back safely.
Added below auxiliary files to make the test code neater.

Fix for bug#45740 introduced test case using SHOW TABLE STATUS against a Memory table using latin1 character in table name.
The test failed on Windows and FreeBSD due to a difference in the value for Avg_row_length.
The average row length normally depends on the values for data length and row count. According to the 5.5 manual data length is approximate with Memory tables.
With MyISAM and InnoDB the Avg_row_length is the same on Windows and Solaris.
The solution implemented by this patch is to mask out the value for Avg_row_length, as it may vary when using Memory tables.
Undoing the patch, it complicates the code but is not the solution
I do not beleive newline mismatch could be the cause of this failure
First, I cannot see how this could be a problem, mtr ignores the newline
when reading the expect file, and the file is written and read on Windows.
Second, if this really was the problem it should have been deterministic:
either the newline is correctly interepreted or it is not.
Problem: the scanner function tested for strings "<![CDATA[" and
"-->" without checking input string boundaries, which led to valgrind's
"Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" error.
Fix: Adding boundary checking.
@ mysql-test/r/xml.result
@ mysql-test/t/xml.test
Adding test
@ strings/xml.c
Adding a helper function my_xml_parser_prefix_cmp(),
with input string boundary check.
Committing After latest merge.
Modified check_pct procedure to check return value of wait condition instead
of calling "dirty_pct".
Adding Review comments:
1) Added comment for success variable value
2) Procedure check_pct changed For Adding BOOLEAN input and SELECT QUERY Change
- Make it possible to use MTR_MAXNDB to set the upper limit of number of
parallel ndb test to run.
- Very useful on machines with many cores and lots of RAM
Introduced by the fix for bug#44766.
Problem: it's not correct to use args[0]->str_value as a buffer,
because args[0] may need this buffer for its own purposes.
Fix: adding a new class member tmp_value to use as return value.
@ mysql-test/r/ctype_many.result
@ mysql-test/t/ctype_many.test
Adding tests
@ sql/item_strfunc.cc
Changing code into traditional style:
use "str" as a buffer for the argument and tmp_value for the result value.
@ sql/item_strfunc.h
Adding tmp_value
Problem: when processing a query like:
SELECT '' LIKE '1' ESCAPE COUNT(1);
escape_item->val_str() was never executed and the "escape" class member
stayed initialized, which led to valgrind uninitialized memory error.
Note, a query with some tables in "FROM" clause
returns ER_WRONG_ARGUMENTS in the same situation:
SELECT '' LIKE '1' ESCAPE COUNT(1) FROM t1;
ERROR 1210 (HY000): Incorrect arguments to ESCAPE
Fix: disallowing using aggregate functions in ESCAPE clause,
even if there are no tables used. There is no much use of that anyway.
