Analysis:
The assert failed because the execution code for
partial matching is designed with the assumption that
NULLs on the left side are detected as early as possible,
and a NULL result is returned before any lookups are
performed at all.
However, in the case of an Item_cache object on the left
side, null was not detected properly, because detection
was done via Item::is_null(), which is not implemented at
all for Item_cache, and resolved to the default Item::is_null()
which always returns FALSE.
Solution:
Use the property Item::null_value instead of is_null(), which
is properly updated for Item_cache objects as well.
Analysis:
The reason for the crash was that the inner subquery was executed
via a scan on a final temporary table applied after all other
operations. This final operation is implemented by changing the
contents of the JOIN object of the subquery to represent a table
scan over the temp table. At the same time query optimization of
the outer subquery required evaluation of the inner subquery, which
happened before the actual EXPLAIN. The evaluation left the JOIN
object of the inner subquery in the changed state, where it represented
a table scan over a temp table, and EXPLAIN crashed because the temp
table is not associated with any table reference (TABLE_LIST object).
The reason the JOIN was not restored was because its saving/restoration
was controlled by the join->select_lex->uncacheable flag, which was
not set in the case of materialization.
Solution:
In the methods Item_in_subselect::[single | row]_value_transformer() set:
select_lex->uncacheable|= UNCACHEABLE_EXPLAIN;
In addition, for symmetry, change:
master_unit->uncacheable|= UNCACHEABLE_EXPLAIN;
instead of UNCACHEABLE_DEPENDENT because if a subquery was not
dependent initially, the changed methods do not change this
fact. The subquery may later become correlated if it is transformed
to an EXISTS query, but it may stay uncorrelated if executed via
materialization.

Fixed a memory leak found by valgrind. The memory leak was
a result of JOINs corresponding to subselects in a global
ORDER BY of a UNION not being cleaned up because the
fake_select of the UNION didn't point down to the subquery
select.
Analysis:
The cause for the failing assert was that between preparation
and execution of a DELETE prepared statement, the server reverted
back all changes of the item tree. Since the substitution of
Item_in_subselect by an Item_in_optimizer was recorded via
change_item_tree, thus the rollback of the item tree affected
the substitution as well. As a result the execution of the PS
called Item_in_subselect::val_int(), which was never supposed
to be called.
Solution:
Replace change_item_tree with assignment. This is OK because
the Item objects used for substitution are created in PS memory.
If the ::single_value_transformer() find an existing HAVING condition it used
to do the transformation:
1) HAVING cond -> (HAVING Cond) AND (cond_guard (Item_ref_null_helper(...))
As the AND condition in 1) is Mc'Carty evaluated, the
right side of the AND cond should be executed only if the
original 'HAVING evaluated' to true.
However, as we failed to set 'top_level' for the tranformed HAVING condition,
'abort_on_null' was FALSE after transformation. An
UNKNOWN having condition will then not terminate evaluation of the
transformed having condition, and we incorrectly continued
into the Item_ref_null_helper() part.

Analysis:
The assert failed because st_select_lex::print() was called for subqueries
as follows:
Item_subselect::print() ->
subselect_single_select_engine::print() -> st_select_lex::print()
It was Item_subselect::fix_fields() that set the thd by calling set_thd(),
so when this print() was called before fix_fields(), subselect_engine::thd
was NULL.
Solution:
The patch makes all constructors of all subselect_engine classes to take
a THD parameter. The default subselect_single_select_engine engine is created
early during parse time, in the Item_subselect::init call, so we pass the
correct THD object already at this point.

--Recently discovered problem when a nested materialized derived table is used

We have several modes when we should disable subquery evaluation.
The reasons for disabling are different. It could be
uselessness of the evaluation as in case of 'CREATE VIEW'
or 'PREPARE stmt', or we should disable subquery evaluation
if tables are not locked yet as it happens in bug#54475, or
too early evaluation of subqueries can lead to wrong result
as it happened in Bug#19077.
Main problem is that if subquery items are treated as const
they are evaluated in ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
of the parental items as a lot of these methods have
Item::val_...() calls inside.
We have to make subqueries non-const to prevent unnecessary
subquery evaluation. At the moment we have different methods
for this. Here is a list of these modes:
1. PREPARE stmt;
We use UNCACHEABLE_PREPARE flag.
It is set during parsing in sql_parse.cc, mysql_new_select() for
each SELECT_LEX object and cleared at the end of PREPARE in
sql_prepare.cc, init_stmt_after_parse(). If this flag is set
subquery becomes non-const and evaluation does not happen.
2. CREATE|ALTER VIEW, SHOW CREATE VIEW, I_S tables which
process FRM files
We use LEX::view_prepare_mode field. We set it before
view preparation and check this flag in
::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec().
Some bugs are fixed using this approach,
some are not(Bug#57352, Bug#57703). The problem here is
that we have a lot of ::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec()
where we use Item::val_...() calls for const items.
3. Derived tables with subquery = wrong result(Bug19077)
The reason of this bug is too early subquery evaluation.
It was fixed by adding Item::with_subselect field
The check of this field in appropriate places prevents
const item evaluation if the item have subquery.
The fix for Bug19077 fixes only the problem with
convert_constant_item() function and does not cover
other places(::fix_fields(), ::fix_length_and_dec() again)
where subqueries could be evaluated.
Example:
CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT, j BIGINT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2);
SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(i) FROM t1
WHERE j = SUBSTRING('12', (SELECT * FROM (SELECT MIN(j) FROM t1) t2))) t3;
DROP TABLE t1;
4. Derived tables with subquery where subquery
is evaluated before table locking(Bug#54475, Bug#52157)
Suggested solution is following:
-Introduce new field LEX::context_analysis_only with the following
possible flags:
#define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_PREPARE 1
#define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_VIEW 2
#define CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ONLY_DERIVED 4
-Set/clean these flags when we perform
context analysis operation
-Item_subselect::const_item() returns
result depending on LEX::context_analysis_only.
If context_analysis_only is set then we return
FALSE that means that subquery is non-const.
As all subquery types are wrapped by Item_subselect
it allow as to make subquery non-const when
it's necessary.

Analysis:
Single-row subqueries are not considered expensive and are
evaluated both during EXPLAIN in to detect errors like
"Subquery returns more than 1 row", and during optimization to
perform constant optimization.
The cause for the failed ASSERT is in JOIN::join_free, where we set
bool full= (!select_lex->uncacheable && !thd->lex->describe);
Thus for EXPLAIN statements full == FALSE, and as a result the call to
JOIN::cleanup doesn't call JOIN_TAB::cleanup which should have
called table->disable_keyread().
Solution:
Consider all kinds of subquery predicates as expensive.
Merge 5.3-mwl89 into 5.3 main.
There is one remaining test failure in this merge:
innodb_mysql_lock2. All other tests have been checked to
deliver the same results/explains as 5.3-mwl89, including
the few remaining wrong results.
The set of Ordered keys of a rowid merge engine is dense. Thus when
we decide not to create a key for a column that has only NULLs, this
column shouldn't be counted.
Notice that the caller has already precomputed the correct total
number of keys that should be created.
The cause for this bug is that MariaDB 5.3 still processes derived tables
(subqueries in the FROM clause) by fully executing them during the parse
phase. This will be remedied by MWL#106 once merged into the main 5.3.
The assert statement is triggered when MATERIALIZATION is ON for EXPLAIN
EXTENDED for derived tables with an IN subquery as follows:
- mysql_parse calls JOIN::exec for the derived table as if it is regular
execution (not explain).
- When materialization is ON, this call goes all the way to
subselect_hash_sj_engine::exec, which creates a partial match engine
because of NULL presence.
- In order to proceed with normal execution, the hash_sj engine substitutes
itself with the created partial match engine.
- After the parse phase it turns out that this execution was part of
EXPLAIN EXTENDED, which in turn calls
Item_cond::print -> ... -> Item_subselect::print,
which calls engine->print().
Since subselect_hash_sj_engine::exec substituted the current
Item_subselect engine with a partial match engine, eventually we call
its ::print() method. However the partial match engines are designed only
for execution, hence there is no implementation of this print() method.
The fix temporarily removes the assert, until this code is merged with
MWL#106.
create_sort_index() function overwrites original JOIN_TAB::type field.
At re-execution of subquery overwritten JOIN_TAB::type(JT_ALL) is
used instead of JT_FT. It misleads test_if_skip_sort_order() and
the function tries to find suitable key for the order that should
not be allowed for FULLTEXT(JT_FT) table.
The fix is to restore JOIN_TAB strucures for subselect on re-execution
for EXPLAIN.
Additional fix:
Update TABLE::maybe_null field which
affects list_contains_unique_index() behaviour as it
could have the value(maybe_null==TRUE) based on the
assumption that this join is outer
(see setup_table_map() func).

Make subquery uncacheable in case of EXPLAIN. It allows to keep

-restore JOIN_TAB strucures for subselect on re-execution for EXPLAIN
-Update TABLE::maybe_null field as it could have
the value(maybe_null==TRUE) based on the assumption
that this join is outer(see setup_table_map() func).
This change is not related to the crash problem but
affects EXPLAIN results in the test case.
The crash happens because original join table is replaced with temporary table
at execution stage and later we attempt to use this temporary table in
select_describe. It might happen that
Item_subselect::update_used_tables() method which sets const_item flag
is not called by some reasons (no where/having conditon in subquery for example).
It prevents JOIN::join_tmp creation and breaks original join.
The fix is to call ::update_used_tables() before ::const_item() check.

Phase 3: Implementation of re-optimization of subqueries with injected predicates
and cost comparison between Materialization and IN->EXISTS strategies.
The commit contains the following known problems:
- The implementation of EXPLAIN has not been re-engineered to reflect the
changes in subquery optimization. EXPLAIN for subqueries is called during
the execute phase, which results in different code paths during JOIN::optimize
and thus in differing EXPLAIN messages for constant/system tables.
- There are some valgrind warnings that need investigation
- Several EXPLAINs with minor differences need to be reconsidered after fixing
the EXPLAIN problem above.
This patch also adds one extra optimizer_switch: 'in_to_exists' for complete
manual control of the subquery execution strategies.
