LOAD_FILE
LOAD_FILE is not safe to replicate in STATEMENT mode, because it
depends on a file (which is loaded on master and may not exist in
slave(s)). This leads to scenarios on which the slave replicates the
statement with 'load_file' and it will try to load the file from local
file system. Given that the file may not exist in the slave filesystem
the operation will not succeed (probably returning NULL), causing
master and slave(s) to diverge. However, when using MIXED mode
replication, this can be made to work, if the statement including
LOAD_FILE is marked as unsafe, triggering a switch to ROW mode,
meaning that the contents of the file are written to binlog as row
events. Consequently, the contents from the file in the master will
reach the slave via the binlog.
This patch addresses this bug by marking the load_file function as
unsafe. When in mixed mode and when LOAD_FILE is issued, there will be
a switch to row mode. Furthermore, when in statement mode, the
LOAD_FILE will raise a warning that the statement is unsafe in that
mode.
When do 'insert delayed' operation, the time_zone info doesn't be keeped in the row info.
So when we do insert sometime later, time_zone didn't write into binlog.
This will cause wrong result for timestamp column in slave.
Our solution is that adding time_zone info with the delayed-row and
restoring time_zone from row-info when execute that row in the furture by another thread.
So we can write correct time_zone info into binlog and got correct result in slave.
Details for Bug#43015 main.lock_multi: Weak code (sleeps etc.)
-------------------------------------------------------------
- The fix for bug 42003 already removed a lot of the weaknesses mentioned.
- Tests showed that there are unfortunately no improvements of this tests
in MySQL 5.1 which could be ported back to 5.0.
- Remove a superfluous "--sleep 1" around line 195
Details for Bug#43065 main.lock_multi: This test is too big if the disk is slow
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- move the subtests for the bugs 38499 and 36691 into separate scripts
- runtime under excessive parallel I/O load after applying the fix
lock_multi [ pass ] 22887

When asking what database is selected, client expected
to *always* get an answer from the server.
We now handle failure more gracefully.
See comments in ticket for a discussion of what happens,
and how things interlock.
mysql-client used static buffer to concatenate server-
version and version_comment. Sufficiently long comments
could get cut off. This was harmless, but looked daft.
Now using a dynamic buffer instead.
functions
Unknown timezone specifications are properly rejected
by the server, but are copied into tz_storage before
rejection, and hence is retained until end of server
life. With sufficiently large bogus timezone specs,
it is easy to exhaust system memory.
Allocation of memory for a copy of the timezone
name is delayed until after verification of validity,
at the cost of a memcpy of the timezone info. This
only happens once, future lookups will hit the cached
structure.
