This was to remove a performance regression between 10.3 and 10.4
In 10.5 we will have a better implementation of records_in_range
that will enable us to get more statistics.
This change was not done in 10.4 because the 10.5 will be part of
a larger change that is not suitable for the GA 10.4 version
Other things:
- Changed default handler block_size to 8192 to fix things statistics
for engines that doesn't set the block size.
- Fixed a bug in spider when using multiple part const ranges
(Patch from Kentoku)
Fix incorrect change introduced in the fix for MDEV-20109.
The patch tried to compute a more precise estimate for the record_count
value in SJ-Materialization-Scan strategy (in
Sj_materialization_picker::check_qep). However the new formula is worse
as it produces extremely optimistic results in common cases where
SJ-Materialization-Scan should be used)
The old formula produces pessimistic results in cases when Sj-Materialization-
Scan is unlikely to be a good choice anyway. So, the old behavior is better.
(Backported to 10.3, addressed review input)
Sj_materialization_picker::check_qep(): fix error in cost/fanout
calculations:
- for each join prefix, add #prefix_rows / TIME_FOR_COMPARE to the cost,
like best_extension_by_limited_search does
- Remove the fanout produced by the subquery tables.
- Also take into account join condition selectivity
optimize_wo_join_buffering() (used by LooseScan and FirstMatch)
- also add #prefix_rows / TIME_FOR_COMPARE to the cost of each prefix.
- Also take into account join condition selectivity
Due to inconsistent usage of different cost models to calculate
the cost of ref accesses we have to make the calculation of the
gain promising by usage a range filter more complex.
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
