In commit b4ff64568c the
signature of mysql_show_var_func was changed, but not all functions
of that type were adjusted.
When the server is configured with `cmake -DWITH_ASAN=ON` and
compiled with clang, runtime errors would be flagged for invoking
functions through an incompatible function pointer.

This solves the current problem in the optimizer
- SELECT FROM big_table
- SELECT from small_table where small_table.eq_ref_key=big_table.id
The old code assumed that each eq_ref access will cause an IO.
As the cost of IO is high, this dominated the cost for the later table
which caused the optimizer to prefer table scans + join cache over
index reads.
This patch fixes this issue by limit the number of expected IO calls,
for rows and index separately, to the size of the table or index or
the number of accesses that we except in a range for the index.
The major changes are:
- Adding a new structure ALL_READ_COST that is mainly used in
best_access_path() to hold the costs parts of the cost we are
calculating. This allows us to limit the number of IO when multiplying
the cost with the previous row combinations.
- All storage engine cost functions are changed to return IO_AND_CPU_COST.
The virtual cost functions should now return in IO_AND_CPU_COST.io
the number of disk blocks that will be accessed instead of the cost
of the access.
- We are not limiting the io_blocks for table or index scans as we
assume that engines may not store these in the 'hot' part of the
cache. Table and index scan also uses much less IO blocks than
key accesses, so the original issue is not as critical with scans.
Other things:
OPT_RANGE now holds a 'Cost_estimate cost' instead a lot of different
costs. All the old costs, like index_only_read, can be extracted
from 'cost'.
- Added to the start of some functions 'handler *file= table->file'
to shorten the code that is using the handler.
- handler->cost() is used to change a ALL_READ_COST or IO_AND_CPU_COST
to 'cost in milliseconds'
- New functions: handler::index_blocks() and handler::row_blocks()
which are used to limit the IO.
- Added index_cost and row_cost to Cost_estimate and removed all not
needed members.
- Removed cost coefficients from Cost_estimate as these don't make sense
when costs (except IO_BLOCKS) are in milliseconds.
- Removed handler::avg_io_cost() and replaced it with DISK_READ_COST.
- Renamed best_range_rowid_filter_for_partial_join() to
best_range_rowid_filter() as using the old name made rows too long.
- Changed all SJ_MATERIALIZATION_INFO 'Cost_estimate' variables to
'double' as Cost_estimate power was not used for these and thus
just caused storage and performance overhead.
- Changed cost_for_index_read() to use 'worst_seeks' to only limit
IO, not number of table accesses. With this patch worst_seeks is
probably not needed anymore, but I kept it around just in case.
- Applying cost for filter got to be much shorter and easier thanks
to the API changes.
- Adjusted cost for fulltext keys in collaboration with Sergei Golubchik.
- Most test changes caused by this patch is that table scans are changed
to use indexes.
- Added ha_seq::keyread_time() and ha_seq::key_scan_time() to get
make checking number of potential IO blocks easier during debugging.
This makes it easier to compare different costs and also allows
the optimizer to optimizer different storage engines more reliably.
- Added tests/check_costs.pl, a tool to verify optimizer cost calculations.
- Most engine costs has been found with this program. All steps to
calculate the new costs are documented in Docs/optimizer_costs.txt
- User optimizer_cost variables are given in microseconds (as individual
costs can be very small). Internally they are stored in ms.
- Changed DISK_READ_COST (was DISK_SEEK_BASE_COST) from a hard disk cost
(9 ms) to common SSD cost (400MB/sec).
- Removed cost calculations for hard disks (rotation etc).
- Changed the following handler functions to return IO_AND_CPU_COST.
This makes it easy to apply different cost modifiers in ha_..time()
functions for io and cpu costs.
- scan_time()
- rnd_pos_time() & rnd_pos_call_time()
- keyread_time()
- Enhanched keyread_time() to calculate the full cost of reading of a set
of keys with a given number of ranges and optional number of blocks that
need to be accessed.
- Removed read_time() as keyread_time() + rnd_pos_time() can do the same
thing and more.
- Tuned cost for: heap, myisam, Aria, InnoDB, archive and MyRocks.
Used heap table costs for json_table. The rest are using default engine
costs.
- Added the following new optimizer variables:
- optimizer_disk_read_ratio
- optimizer_disk_read_cost
- optimizer_key_lookup_cost
- optimizer_row_lookup_cost
- optimizer_row_next_find_cost
- optimizer_scan_cost
- Moved all engine specific cost to OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure.
- Changed costs to use 'records_out' instead of 'records_read' when
recalculating costs.
- Split optimizer_costs.h to optimizer_costs.h and optimizer_defaults.h.
This allows one to change costs without having to compile a lot of
files.
- Updated costs for filter lookup.
- Use a better cost estimate in best_extension_by_limited_search()
for the sorting cost.
- Fixed previous issues with 'filtered' explain column as we are now
using 'records_out' (min rows seen for table) to calculate filtering.
This greatly simplifies the filtering code in
JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data().
This change caused a lot of queries to be optimized differently than
before, which exposed different issues in the optimizer that needs to
be fixed. These fixes are in the following commits. To not have to
change the same test case over and over again, the changes in the test
cases are done in a single commit after all the critical change sets
are done.
InnoDB changes:
- Updated InnoDB to not divide big range cost with 2.
- Added cost for InnoDB (innobase_update_optimizer_costs()).
- Don't mark clustered primary key with HA_KEYREAD_ONLY. This will
prevent that the optimizer is trying to use index-only scans on
the clustered key.
- Disabled ha_innobase::scan_time() and ha_innobase::read_time() and
ha_innobase::rnd_pos_time() as the default engine cost functions now
works good for InnoDB.
Other things:
- Added --show-query-costs (\Q) option to mysql.cc to show the query
cost after each query (good when working with query costs).
- Extended my_getopt with GET_ADJUSTED_VALUE which allows one to adjust
the value that user is given. This is used to change cost from
microseconds (user input) to milliseconds (what the server is
internally using).
- Added include/my_tracker.h ; Useful include file to quickly test
costs of a function.
- Use handler::set_table() in all places instead of 'table= arg'.
- Added SHOW_OPTIMIZER_COSTS to sys variables. These are input and
shown in microseconds for the user but stored as milliseconds.
This is to make the numbers easier to read for the user (less
pre-zeros). Implemented in 'Sys_var_optimizer_cost' class.
- In test_quick_select() do not use index scans if 'no_keyread' is set
for the table. This is what we do in other places of the server.
- Added THD parameter to Unique::get_use_cost() and
check_index_intersect_extension() and similar functions to be able
to provide costs to called functions.
- Changed 'records' to 'rows' in optimizer_trace.
- Write more information to optimizer_trace.
- Added INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_MUL (4) and INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_DIV (3)
to calculate usage space of keys in b-trees. (Before we used numeric
constants).
- Removed code that assumed that b-trees has similar costs as binary
trees. Replaced with engine calls that returns the cost.
- Added Bitmap::find_first_bit()
- Added timings to join_cache for ANALYZE table (patch by Sergei Petrunia).
- Added records_init and records_after_filter to POSITION to remember
more of what best_access_patch() calculates.
- table_after_join_selectivity() changed to recalculate 'records_out'
based on the new fields from best_access_patch()
Bug fixes:
- Some queries did not update last_query_cost (was 0). Fixed by moving
setting thd->...last_query_cost in JOIN::optimize().
- Write '0' as number of rows for const tables with a matching row.
Some internals:
- Engine cost are stored in OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure. When a
handlerton is created, we also created a new cost variable for the
handlerton. We also create a new variable if the user changes a
optimizer cost for a not yet loaded handlerton either with command
line arguments or with SET
@@global.engine.optimizer_cost_variable=xx.
- There are 3 global OPTIMIZER_COSTS variables:
default_optimizer_costs The default costs + changes from the
command line without an engine specifier.
heap_optimizer_costs Heap table costs, used for temporary tables
tmp_table_optimizer_costs The cost for the default on disk internal
temporary table (MyISAM or Aria)
- The engine cost for a table is stored in table_share. To speed up
accesses the handler has a pointer to this. The cost is copied
to the table on first access. If one wants to change the cost one
must first update the global engine cost and then do a FLUSH TABLES.
This was done to be able to access the costs for an open table
without any locks.
- When a handlerton is created, the cost are updated the following way:
See sql/keycaches.cc for details:
- Use 'default_optimizer_costs' as a base
- Call hton->update_optimizer_costs() to override with the engines
default costs.
- Override the costs that the user has specified for the engine.
- One handler open, copy the engine cost from handlerton to TABLE_SHARE.
- Call handler::update_optimizer_costs() to allow the engine to update
cost for this particular table.
- There are two costs stored in THD. These are copied to the handler
when the table is used in a query:
- optimizer_where_cost
- optimizer_scan_setup_cost
- Simply code in best_access_path() by storing all cost result in a
structure. (Idea/Suggestion by Igor)

The patch introduces mariadb_capi_rename.h which is included into
mysql.h. The hew header contains macro definitions for the names being
renamed. In versions 10.6+(i.e. where sql service exists) the renaming
condition in the mariadb_capi_rename.h should be added with

Disabling false_duper-6543 test for embedded.
ha_federated.so uses C API. C API functions are being renamed in the server,
but not renamed in embedded, since embedded server library should have proper
C API, as expected by programs using it.
Thus the same ha_federated.so cannot work both for server and embedded
server library.
As all federated tests are already disabled for embedded,
federated isn't supposed to work for embedded anyway, and thus the test
is being disabled.
This fixed the MySQL bug# 20338 about misuse of double underscore
prefix __WIN__, which was old MySQL's idea of identifying Windows
Replace it by _WIN32 standard symbol for targeting Windows OS
(both 32 and 64 bit)
Not that connect storage engine is not fixed in this patch (must be
fixed in "upstream" branch)
Changes:
- To detect automatic strlen() I removed the methods in String that
uses 'const char *' without a length:
- String::append(const char*)
- Binary_string(const char *str)
- String(const char *str, CHARSET_INFO *cs)
- append_for_single_quote(const char *)
All usage of append(const char*) is changed to either use
String::append(char), String::append(const char*, size_t length) or
String::append(LEX_CSTRING)
- Added STRING_WITH_LEN() around constant string arguments to
String::append()
- Added overflow argument to escape_string_for_mysql() and
escape_quotes_for_mysql() instead of returning (size_t) -1 on overflow.
This was needed as most usage of the above functions never tested the
result for -1 and would have given wrong results or crashes in case
of overflows.
- Added Item_func_or_sum::func_name_cstring(), which returns LEX_CSTRING.
Changed all Item_func::func_name()'s to func_name_cstring()'s.
The old Item_func_or_sum::func_name() is now an inline function that
returns func_name_cstring().str.
- Changed Item::mode_name() and Item::func_name_ext() to return
LEX_CSTRING.
- Changed for some functions the name argument from const char * to
to const LEX_CSTRING &:
- Item::Item_func_fix_attributes()
- Item::check_type_...()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_item_collations()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_item_set_converter()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_arg_charsets...()
- Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_result()
- Type_handler_geometry::check_type_geom_or_binary()
- Type_handler::Item_func_or_sum_illegal_param()
- Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value_skip_null()
- Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value()
- cmp_item_row::prepare_comparators()
- cmp_item_row::aggregate_row_elements_for_comparison()
- Cursor_ref::print_func()
- Removes String_space() as it was only used in one cases and that
could be simplified to not use String_space(), thanks to the fixed
my_vsnprintf().
- Added some const LEX_CSTRING's for common strings:
- NULL_clex_str, DATA_clex_str, INDEX_clex_str.
- Changed primary_key_name to a LEX_CSTRING
- Renamed String::set_quick() to String::set_buffer_if_not_allocated() to
clarify what the function really does.
- Rename of protocol function:
bool store(const char *from, CHARSET_INFO *cs) to
bool store_string_or_null(const char *from, CHARSET_INFO *cs).
This was done to both clarify the difference between this 'store' function
and also to make it easier to find unoptimal usage of store() calls.
- Added Protocol::store(const LEX_CSTRING*, CHARSET_INFO*)
- Changed some 'const char*' arrays to instead be of type LEX_CSTRING.
- class Item_func_units now used LEX_CSTRING for name.
Other things:
- Fixed a bug in mysql.cc:construct_prompt() where a wrong escape character
in the prompt would cause some part of the prompt to be duplicated.
- Fixed a lot of instances where the length of the argument to
append is known or easily obtain but was not used.
- Removed some not needed 'virtual' definition for functions that was
inherited from the parent. I added override to these.
- Fixed Ordered_key::print() to preallocate needed buffer. Old code could
case memory overruns.
- Simplified some loops when adding char * to a String with delimiters.
The assertion failed in handler::ha_reset upon SELECT under
READ UNCOMMITTED from table with index on virtual column.
This was the debug-only failure, though the problem is mush wider:
* MY_BITMAP is a structure containing my_bitmap_map, the latter is a raw
bitmap.
* read_set, write_set and vcol_set of TABLE are the pointers to MY_BITMAP
* The rest of MY_BITMAPs are stored in TABLE and TABLE_SHARE
* The pointers to the stored MY_BITMAPs, like orig_read_set etc, and
sometimes all_set and tmp_set, are assigned to the pointers.
* Sometimes tmp_use_all_columns is used to substitute the raw bitmap
directly with all_set.bitmap
* Sometimes even bitmaps are directly modified, like in
TABLE::update_virtual_field(): bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) is called.
The last three bullets in the list, when used together (which is mostly
always) make the program flow cumbersome and impossible to follow,
notwithstanding the errors they cause, like this MDEV-17556, where tmp_set
pointer was assigned to read_set, write_set and vcol_set, then its bitmap
was substituted with all_set.bitmap by dbug_tmp_use_all_columns() call,
and then bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) was applied to all this.
To untangle this knot, the rule should be applied:
* Never substitute bitmaps! This patch is about this.
orig_*, all_set bitmaps are never substituted already.
This patch changes the following function prototypes:
* tmp_use_all_columns, dbug_tmp_use_all_columns
to accept MY_BITMAP** and to return MY_BITMAP * instead of my_bitmap_map*
* tmp_restore_column_map, dbug_tmp_restore_column_maps to accept
MY_BITMAP* instead of my_bitmap_map*
These functions now will substitute read_set/write_set/vcol_set directly,
and won't touch underlying bitmaps.
Final added to:
- All reasonable classes inhereted from Field
- All classes inhereted from Protocol
- Almost all Handler classes
- Some important Item classes
The stripped size of mariadbd is just 4K smaller, but several object files
showed notable improvements in common execution paths.
- Checked field.o and item_sum.o
Other things:
- Added 'override' to a few class functions touched by this patch.
- Removed 'virtual' from a new class functions that had/got 'override'
- Changed Protocol_discard to inherit from Protocol instad of Protocol_text
The used code is largely based on code from Tencent
The problem is that in some rare cases there may be a conflict between .frm
files and the files in the storage engine. In this case the DROP TABLE
was not able to properly drop the table.
Some MariaDB/MySQL forks has solved this by adding a FORCE option to
DROP TABLE. After some discussion among MariaDB developers, we concluded
that users expects that DROP TABLE should always work, even if the
table would not be consistent. There should not be a need to use a
separate keyword to ensure that the table is really deleted.
The used solution is:
- If a .frm table doesn't exists, try dropping the table from all storage
engines.
- If the .frm table exists but the table does not exist in the engine
try dropping the table from all storage engines.
- Update storage engines using many table files (.CVS, MyISAM, Aria) to
succeed with the drop even if some of the files are missing.
- Add HTON_AUTOMATIC_DELETE_TABLE to handlerton's where delete_table()
is not needed and always succeed. This is used by ha_delete_table_force()
to know which handlers to ignore when trying to drop a table without
a .frm file.
The disadvantage of this solution is that a DROP TABLE on a non existing
table will be a bit slower as we have to ask all active storage engines
if they know anything about the table.
Other things:
- Added a new flag MY_IGNORE_ENOENT to my_delete() to not give an error
if the file doesn't exist. This simplifies some of the code.
- Don't clear thd->error in ha_delete_table() if there was an active
error. This is a bug fix.
- handler::delete_table() will not abort if first file doesn't exists.
This is bug fix to handle the case when a drop table was aborted in
the middle.
- Cleaned up mysql_rm_table_no_locks() to ensure that if_exists uses
same code path as when it's not used.
- Use non_existing_Table_error() to detect if table didn't exists.
Old code used different errors tests in different position.
- Table_triggers_list::drop_all_triggers() now drops trigger file if
it can't be parsed instead of leaving it hanging around (bug fix)
- InnoDB doesn't anymore print error about .frm file out of sync with
InnoDB directory if .frm file does not exists. This change was required
to be able to try to drop an InnoDB file when .frm doesn't exists.
- Fixed bug in mi_delete_table() where the .MYD file would not be dropped
if the .MYI file didn't exists.
- Fixed memory leak in Mroonga when deleting non existing table
- Fixed memory leak in Connect when deleting non existing table
Bugs fixed introduced by the original version of this commit:
MDEV-22826 Presence of Spider prevents tables from being force-deleted from
other engines
Prototype change:
- virtual ha_rows records_in_range(uint inx, key_range *min_key,
- key_range *max_key)
+ virtual ha_rows records_in_range(uint inx, const key_range *min_key,
+ const key_range *max_key,
+ page_range *res)
The handler can ignore the page_range parameter. In the case the handler
updates the parameter, the optimizer can deduce the following:
- If previous range's last key is on the same block as next range's first
key
- If the current key range is in one block
- We can also assume that the first and last block read are cached!
This can be used for a better calculation of IO seeks when we
estimate the cost of a range index scan.
The parameter is fully implemented for MyISAM, Aria and InnoDB.
A separate patch will update handler::multi_range_read_info_const() to
take the benefits of this change and also remove the double
records_in_range() calls that are not anymore needed.
e.g.
- dont -> don't
- occurence -> occurrence
- succesfully -> successfully
- easyly -> easily
Also remove trailing space in selected files.
These changes span:
- server core
- Connect and Innobase storage engine code
- OQgraph, Sphinx and TokuDB storage engines
Related to MDEV-21769.
- Enable the test `sphinx.sphinx` which was disabled by MDEV 10986,
comit ee0094d2fd
- Add test case to `sphinx.sphinx` to cover host as localhost instead of `127.0.0.1`
- Add result file for single test
There's an annoying bug that prevents a Sphinx table to connect to a searchd using a host name.
So the example table in the documentation https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/about-sphinxse/#basic-usage that point's to "localhost" actually doesn't work.
After some investigation I found two errors. The first one is a wrong check after the getaddrinfo call. The second is a wrong usage of the returned struct.
Use thd_get_ha_data()/thd_set_ha_data() which protect against plugin
removal until it has THD ha_data.
Do not reset THD ha_data in sphinx_close_connection(), cleaner approach
is to let ha_close_connection() do it.
