Made allocation of memory for statistical data in a table share to be thread safe.
This memory is now allocated in a special MEM_ROOT that is created for each
table share.
that introduced engine independent persistent statistics.
In particular:
- added an enumeration type for possible values of the system
variable use_stat_tables
- renamed KEY::real_rec_per_key to KEY::actual_rec_per_key
- optimized the collection of statistical data for any primary
key defined only on one column.
- Moved the definitions of the classes to store data from persistent
statistical tables into statistics.h, leaving in other internal
data structures only references to the corresponding objects.
- Defined class Column_statistics_collected derived from the class
Column_statistics. This is a helper class to collect statistics
on columns.
- Moved references to read statistics to TABLE SHARE, leaving the
the reference to the collected statistics in TABLE.
- Added a new clone method for the class Field allowing to clone
fields attached to table shares. It was was used to create
fields for min/max values in the memory of the table share.
A lso:
- Added procedures to allocate memory for statistical data in
the table share memory and in table memory.
Also:
- Added a test case demonstrating how ANALYZE could work in parallel
to collect statistics on different indexes of the same table.
- Added a test two demonstrate how two connections working
simultaneously could allocate memory for statistical data in the
table share memory.
