s/sleep/safe_sleep (thread safe); sleep 0/1/2/3/4/5/5/5 (get slave less late);
no message on error log (deadlock is too common sometimes), a global counter
instead (SHOW STATUS LIKE 'slave_retried_transactions').
Plus a fix for libmysql/Makefile.shared
in slave SQL thread: if a transaction fails because of InnoDB deadlock or innodb_lock_wait_timeout exceeded,
optionally retry the transaction a certain number of times (new variable --slave_transaction_retries).
we store 7 bytes (1 + 2*3) in every Query_log_event.
In the future if users want binlog optimized for small size and less safe,
we could add --binlog-no-charset (and binlog-no-sql-mode etc): charset info
is something by design optional (even if for now we don't offer possibility to disable it):
it's not a binlog format change.
We try to reduce the number of get_charset() calls in the slave SQL thread to a minimum
by caching the charset read from the previous event (which will often be equal to the one of the current event).
We don't use SET ONE_SHOT for charset-aware repl (we still do for timezones, will be fixed later).
No more errors if one changes the global value of charset vars on master or slave
(as we log charset info in all Query_log_event).
Not fixing Load_log_event as it will be rewritten soon by Dmitri.
Testing how mysqlbinlog behaves in rpl_charset.test.
mysqlbinlog needs to know where charset file is (to be able to convert a charset number found
in binlog (e.g. in User_var_log_event) to a charset name); mysql-test-run needs to pass
the correct value for this option to mysqlbinlog.
Many result udpates (adding charset info into every event shifts log_pos in SHOW BINLOG EVENTS).
Roughly the same job is to be done for timezones :)
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
because old behaviour was somewhat nonsensical (kind of bug). Changes are that if repl threads are
down or disconnected the column will be NULL, and if master is idle the column will not grow indefinitely anymore.
All our programs which use mysql_real_connect() and mysql_connect() are updated accordingly, though I have deliberately
made mysqlimport not reconnect anymore (already true for mysqldump >= 4.1.8).
All Connector devs have been warned about the change I'm doing here - which was agreed with Monty,
and fixes BUG#2555.
1 if the return type is int or int_fast8_t. The test case that showed
this problem is rpl000001 and the tested version was MySQL 5.0.2. The
compiler with the problem is GCC 3.0.4 runing on "Linux bitch 2.4.18
#2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 unknown".
By changing the return type to bool the problem disappear. (Another
way to make the problem disappear is to simply print the returned
value with printf("%d",?). The printed returned value is always 0 in
the test cases I have run.) This is only a partial solution to the
problem, since someone could later change the return type of the
function back to int or some other type that does not work.
