Some of the test cases reference to binlog position and
these position numbers are written into result explicitly.
It is difficult to maintain if log event format changes.
There are a couple of cases explicit position number appears,
we handle them in different ways
A. 'CHANGE MASTER ...' with MASTER_LOG_POS or/and RELAY_LOG_POS options
Use --replace_result to mask them.
B. 'SHOW BINLOG EVENT ...'
Replaced by show_binlog_events.inc or wait_for_binlog_event.inc.
show_binlog_events.inc file's function is enhanced by given
$binlog_file and $binlog_limit.
C. 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS', 'show_slave_status.inc' and 'show_slave_status2.inc'
For the test cases just care a few items in the result of 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS',
only the items related to each test case are showed.
'show_slave_status.inc' is rebuild, only the given items in $status_items
will be showed.
'check_slave_is_running.inc' and 'check_slave_no_error.inc'
and 'check_slave_param.inc' are auxiliary files helping
to show running status and error information easily.
Row-based replication requires the types of columns on the
master and slave to be approximately the same (some safe
conversions between strings are allowed), but does not
allow safe conversions between fields of similar types such
as TINYINT and INT.
This patch implement type conversions between similar fields
on the master and slave.
The conversions are controlled using a new variable
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS of type SET('ALL_LOSSY','ALL_NON_LOSSY').
Non-lossy conversions are any conversions that do not run the
risk of losing any information, while lossy conversions can
potentially truncate the value. The column definitions are
checked to decide if the conversion is acceptable.
If neither conversion is enabled, it is required that the
definitions of the columns are identical on master and slave.
Conversion is done by creating an internal conversion table,
unpacking the master data into it, and then copy the data to
the real table on the slave.
In certain situations, a scan of the table will return the error
code HA_ERR_RECORD_DELETED, and this error code is not
correctly caught in the Rows_log_event::find_row() function, which
causes an error to be returned for this case.
This patch fixes the problem by adding code to either ignore the
record and continuing with the next one, the the event of a table
scan, or change the error code to HA_ERR_KEY_NOT_FOUND, in the event
that a key lookup is attempted.
The assertion indicates that some data was left in the transaction
cache when the server was shut down, which means that a previous
statement did not commit or rollback correctly.
What happened was that a bug in the rollback of a transactional
table caused the transaction cache to be emptied, but not reset.
The error can be triggered by having a failing UPDATE or INSERT,
on a transactional table, causing an implicit rollback.
Fixed by always flushing the pending event to reset the state
properly.
BUG#37884: rpl_row_basic_2myisam and rpl_row_basic_3innodb fail sporadically in pushbuild
These have been fixed in 5.1-rpl. Re-applying fix for BUG#37884
in 5.1-bugteam, and disabling rpl_flushlog_loop for BUG#37733 in
5.1-bugteam.
In order to handle CHAR() fields, 8 bits were reserved for
the size of the CHAR field. However, instead of denoting the
number of characters in the field, field_length was used which
denotes the number of bytes in the field.
Since UTF-8 fields can have three bytes per character (and
has been extended to have four bytes per character in 6.0),
an extra two bits have been encoded in the field metadata
work for fields of type Field_string (i.e., CHAR fields).
Since the metadata word is filled, the extra bits have been
encoded in the upper 4 bits of the real type (the most
significant byte of the metadata word) by computing the
bitwise xor of the extra two bits. Since the upper 4 bits
of the real type always is 1111 for Field_string, this
means that for fields of length <256, the encoding is
identical to the encoding used in pre-5.1.26 servers, but
for lengths of 256 or more, an unrecognized type is formed,
causing an old slave (that does not handle lengths of 256
or more) to stop.

Bug#31609 Not all RBR slave errors reported as errors
bug#32468 delete rows event on a table with foreign key constraint fails
The first two bugs comprise idempotency issues.
First, there was no error code reported under conditions of the bug
description although the slave sql thread halted.
Second, executions were different with and without presence of prim key in
the table.
Third, there was no way to instruct the slave whether to ignore an error
and skip to the following event or to halt.
Fourth, there are handler errors which might happen due to idempotent
applying of binlog but those were not listed among the "idempotent" error
list.
All the named issues are addressed.
Wrt to the 3rd, there is the new global system variable, changeble at run
time, which controls the slave sql thread behaviour.
The new variable allows further extensions to mimic the sql_mode
session/global variable.
To address the 4th, the new bug#32468 had to be fixed as it was staying
in the way.
The patch for WL 1563 added a new duplicate key error message so that the
key name could be provided instead of the key number. But the error code
for the new message was used even though that did not need to change.
This could cause unnecessary problems for applications that used the old
ER_DUP_ENTRY error code to detect duplicate key errors.
