This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
derived table / view by equality
Now rows of a materialized derived table are always put into a
temporary table before join operation. If BNLH is used to join this
table with the result of a partial join then both operands of the
join are actually put into main memory. In most cases this is not
efficient.
We could avoid this by sending the rows of the derived table directly
to the join operation. However this kind of data flow is not supported
yet.
Fixed by not allowing usage of hash join algorithm to join a materialized
derived table if it's joined by an equality predicate of the form
f=e where f is a field of the derived table.
Change for the test case in 10.3: splitting must be turned off to preserve
the explain.
