This saves one byte per Query_log_event on disk compared to 5.0.[0..3]. Compatibility problems with 5.0.x where x<4
are explained in the comments in log_event.cc. Putting back s/my_open(O_TRUNC)/(my_delete+my_create) change which had
been wiped away by somebody doing a wrong 4.1->5.0 merge (which happened just
before 5.0.3 :( ). Applying it to new events for LOAD DATA INFILE.
If slave fails in Execute_load_query_log_event::exec_event(),
don't delete the file (so that it's re-usable at next START SLAVE).
And (youpi!) fix for BUG#3247 "a partially completed LOAD DATA INFILE is not
executed at all on the slave" (storing an Execute_load_query_log_event
to binlog, with its error code, instead of Delete_file_log_event).
Now one can use user variables as target for data loaded from file
(besides table's columns). Also LOAD DATA got new SET-clause in which
one can specify values for table columns as expressions.
For example the following is possible:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'words.dat' INTO TABLE t1 (a, @b) SET c = @b + 1;
This patch also implements new way of replicating LOAD DATA.
Now we do it similarly to other queries.
We store LOAD DATA query in new Execute_load_query event
(which is last in the sequence of events representing LOAD DATA).
When we are executing this event we simply rewrite part of query which
holds name of file (we use name of temporary file) and then execute it
as usual query. In the beggining of this sequence we use Begin_load_query
event which is almost identical to Append_file event
* A more dynamic binlog format which allows small changes (1064)
* Log session variables in Query_log_event (1063)
It contains a few bugfixes (which I made when running the testsuite).
I carefully updated the results of the testsuite (i.e. I checked for every one,
if the difference between .reject and .result could be explained).
Apparently mysql-test-run --manager is broken in 4.1 and 5.0 currently,
so I could neither run the few tests which require --manager, nor check
that they pass nor modify their .result. But for builds, we don't run
with --manager.
Apart from --manager, the full testsuite passes, with Valgrind too (no errors).
I'm going to push in the next minutes. Remains: update the manual.
Note: by chance I saw that (in 4.1, in 5.0) rpl_get_lock fails when run alone;
this is normal at it makes assumptions on thread ids. I will fix this one day
in 4.1.
"CHANGE MASTER makes SQL thread restart from coordinates of I/O thread".
So, in CHANGE MASTER:
when it seems reasonable that the user did not want to discontinue
its replication (i.e. when he is not specifying host or port or master_log_file
or master_log_pos; this will be documented), set the coordinates of the
I/O thread to those of the SQL thread. This way, the SQL thread will see
no discontinuity in the relay log (i.e. will skip no events), because
the I/O thread will fill the brand new relay log with the events which
are just after the position where the SQL thread had stopped
(before CHANGE MASTER was issued).
And a new test for this bug.
