Before this fix, the command SHOW ENGINE <name> STATUS would:
- print a warning if the engine name is unknown,
- proceed and implement the same behavior as SHOW ENGINE ALL STATUS,
and list the status of all the storage engines registered.
In particular, this behavior caused confusion about the command :
SHOW ENGINE MUTEX STATUS, which as a side effect would print the status
of the innodb engine when that engine is registered.
Also, before this fix, every time an unknown engine name was substituted by
the default engine (which happen unless SQL_MODE NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION is
set), a malformed warning was raised.
For example, the command ALTER TABLE T1 ENGINE = X would print :
Warnings:
Error 1286 Unknown table engine 'X'
With this fix:
SHOW ENGINE <name> STATUS|LOGS|MUTEX
always fails with an error when the engine <name> is unknown.
For other commands, warnings about unknown engines are raised as:
Warnings:
Warning 1286 Unknown table engine 'X'
In other words, engine substitution never affect the SHOW ENGINE command,
since this would lead to very confusing results.
Post-commit issues fixed
* Test results for other tests fixed due to added error #s
* Memory allocation/free issues found with running with valgrind
* Fix to mysql-test-run shell script to run federated_server test (installs
mysql.servers table properly)
duplicate fields removed, st_mysql_storage_engine added to support
run-time handlerton initialization (no compiler warnings), handler API
is now tied to MySQL version, handlerton->plugin mapping added
(slot-based), dummy default_hton removed, plugin-type-specific
initialization generalized, built-in plugins are now initialized too,
--default-storage-engine no longer needs a list of storage engines
in handle_options().
mysql-test-run.pl bugfixes
- changed alter tablespace truct to work with handlerton pointer (to avoid crash in parser on unknown db type"
- pushed warnings when default storage engine is used and/or tablespace stuff is not supported by storage engine
