that implement add_index
The problem was that ALTER TABLE blocked reads on an InnoDB table
while adding a secondary index, even if this was not needed. It is
only needed for the final step where the .frm file is updated.
The reason queries were blocked, was that ALTER TABLE upgraded the
metadata lock from MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE (which blocks writes) to
MDL_EXCLUSIVE (which blocks all accesses) before index creation.
The way the server handles index creation, is that storage engines
publish their capabilities to the server and the server determines
which of the following three ways this can be handled: 1) build a
new version of the table; 2) change the existing table but with
exclusive metadata lock; 3) change the existing table but without
metadata lock upgrade.
For InnoDB and secondary index creation, option 3) should have been
selected. However this failed for two reasons. First, InnoDB did
not publish this capability properly.
Second, the ALTER TABLE code failed to made proper use of the
information supplied by the storage engine. A variable
need_lock_for_indexes was set accordingly, but was not later used.
This patch fixes this problem by only doing metadata lock upgrade
before index creation/deletion if this variable has been set.
This patch also changes some of the related terminology used
in the code. Specifically the use of "fast" and "online" with
respect to ALTER TABLE. "Fast" was used to indicate that an
ALTER TABLE operation could be done without involving a
temporary table. "Fast" has been renamed "in-place" to more
accurately describe the behavior.
"Online" meant that the operation could be done without taking
a table lock. However, in the current implementation writes
are always prohibited during ALTER TABLE and an exclusive
metadata lock is held while updating the .frm, so ALTER TABLE
is not completely online. This patch replaces "online" with
"in-place", with additional comments indicating if concurrent
reads are allowed during index creation/deletion or not.
An important part of this update of terminology is renaming
of the handler flags used by handlers to indicate if index
creation/deletion can be done in-place and if concurrent reads
are allowed. For example, the HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITES
flag has been renamed to HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_READ_WRITE,
while HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX is now HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITE.
Note that this is a rename to clarify current behavior, the
flag values have not changed and no flags have been removed or
added.
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
OPTIMIZE TABLE
OPTIMIZE TABLE for InnoDB tables is handled as recreate + analyze.
The triggered assert checked that an error had been reported if either
recreate or analyze failed. However the assert failed to take into
account that they could have failed because OPTIMIZE TABLE had been
victim of KILL QUERY, KILL CONNECTION or server shutdown.
This patch adjusts the assert to take this possibility into account.
The problem was only noticeable on debug versions of the server.
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
The assert was triggered if a connection executing TRUNCATE
on a InnoDB table was killed during open_tables.
This bug was fixed in the scope of Bug #45643
"InnoDB does not support replication of TRUNCATE TABLE".
This patch adds test coverage to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
This assertion could be triggered during execution of OPTIMIZE TABLE for
InnoDB tables. As part of optimize for InnoDB tables, the table is recreated
and then opened again. If the reopen failed for any reason, the assertion
would be triggered. This could for example be caused by a concurrent DROP
TABLE executed by a different connection. The reason for the assertion was
that any failures during reopening were ignored.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the result of reopening the
table is checked and that any error messages are sent to the client.
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
Bug #42074 concurrent optimize table and
alter table = Assertion failed: thd->is_error()
This assertion could occur if OPTIMIZE TABLE was started on a InnoDB table
and the table was altered to different storage engine after OPTIMIZE
had started. This allowed OPTIMIZE to pass the initial checks for
storage engine support, but fail once it reached "recreate+analyze"
if this operation was not supported by the new storage engine.
The bug had no consequences for non-debug builds of the server.
In detail, the assertion was triggered when ha_analyze() returned
HA_ADMIN_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. This led to a code path which included an
assert checking for diagnostics area contents. Since this area had
not been filled, the assertion was triggered. The diagnostics area
is in this case only used to provide more detailed information about
why optimize failed. The triggered code path sends this information
to the client and clears the diagnostic area.
This patch fixed the problem by adding an error message to the diagnostic
area if ha_analyze() fails. This error message contains the error code
returned by ha_analyze().
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
