Federated and Federatex cannot be used with ROR scans
Federated::position() and Federatex::position() is storing in 'ref' a
pointer into a local result set buffer. This means that one cannot
compare 'ref' from different handler instances to see if they point to the
same physical record.
This bug caused federated.federatedx to return wrong results when the
optimizer tried to use index_merge to resolve some queries.
Fixed by introducing table flag HA_NON_COMPARABLE_ROWID and using this
with the above handlers.
Todo:
- Fix multi_delete(), multi_update and read_records() to use primary key
instead of 'ref' if case HA_NON_COMPARABLE_ROWID is set. The current
code only works if we have only one range (like table scan) for the
tables that will be updated in the second pass.
- Enable DBUG_ASSERT() in ha_federated::cmp_ref() and
ha_federatedx::cmp_ref().
Problem:
The problem happened because of a conceptual flaw in the server code:
a. The table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause affected all data types,
including numeric and temporal ones:
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT) CHARACTER SET utf8 [COLLATE utf8_general_ci];
In the above example, the Column_definition_attributes
(and then the FRM record) for the column "a" erroneously inherited
"utf8" as its character set.
b. The "ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET csname" statement
also erroneously affected Column_definition_attributes::charset
for numeric and temporal data types and wrote "csname" as their
character set into FRM files.
So now we have arbitrary non-relevant charset ID values for numeric
and temporal data types in all FRM files in the world :)
The code in the server and the other engines did not seem to be affected
by this flaw. Only InnoDB inplace ALTER was affected.
Solution:
Fixing the code in the way that only character string data types
(CHAR,VARCHAR,TEXT,ENUM,SET):
- inherit the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause
- get the charset value according to "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET csname".
Numeric and temporal data types now always get &my_charset_numeric
in Column_definition_attributes::charset and always write its ID into FRM files:
- no matter what the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause is, and
- no matter what "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET" says.
Details:
1. Adding helper classes to pass small parts of HA_CREATE_INFO
into Type_handler methods:
- Column_derived_attributes - to pass table level CHARSET/COLLATE,
so columns that do not have explicit CHARSET/COLLATE clauses
can derive them from the table level, e.g.
CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(1), b CHAR(1)) CHARACTER SET utf8;
- Column_bulk_alter_attributes - to pass bulk attribute changes
generated by the ALTER related code. These bulk changes affect
multiple columns at the same time:
ALTER TABLE ... CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET csname;
Note, passing the whole HA_CREATE_INFO directly to Type_handler
would not be good: HA_CREATE_INFO is huge and would need not desired
dependencies in sql_type.h and sql_type.cc. The Type_handler API should
use smallest possible data types!
2. Type_handler::Column_definition_prepare_stage1() is now responsible
to set Column_definition::charset properly, according to the data type,
for example:
- For string data types, Column_definition_attributes::charset is set from
the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause (if not specified explicitly in
the column definition).
- For numeric and temporal fields, Column_definition_attributes::charset is
set to &my_charset_numeric, no matter what the table level
CHARSET/COLLATE says.
- For GEOMETRY, Column_definition_attributes::charset is set to
&my_charset_bin, no matter what the table level CHARSET/COLLATE says.
Previously this code (setting `charset`) was outside of of
Column_definition_prepare_stage1(), namely in
mysql_prepare_create_table(), and was erroneously called for
all data types.
3. Adding Type_handler::Column_definition_bulk_alter(), to handle
"ALTER TABLE .. CONVERT TO". Previously this code was inside
get_sql_field_charset() and was erroneously called for all data types.
4. Removing the Schema_specification_st parameter from
Type_handler::Column_definition_redefine_stage1().
Column_definition_attributes::charset is now fully properly initialized by
Column_definition_prepare_stage1(). So we don't need access to the
table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause in Column_definition_redefine_stage1()
any more.
5. Other changes:
- Removing global function get_sql_field_charset()
- Moving the part of the former get_sql_field_charset(), which was
responsible to inherit the table level CHARSET/COLLATE clause to
new methods:
-- Column_definition_attributes::explicit_or_derived_charset() and
-- Column_definition::prepare_charset_for_string().
This code is only needed for string data types.
Previously it was erroneously called for all data types.
- Moving another part, which was responsible to apply the
"CONVERT TO" clause, to
Type_handler_general_purpose_string::Column_definition_bulk_alter().
- Replacing the call for get_sql_field_charset() in sql_partition.cc
to sql_field->explicit_or_derived_charset() - it is perfectly enough.
The old code was redundant: get_sql_field_charset() was called from
sql_partition.cc only when there were no a "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET"
clause involved, so its purpose was only to inherit the table
level CHARSET/COLLATE clause.
- Moving the code handling the BINCMP_FLAG flag from
mysql_prepare_create_table() to
Column_definition::prepare_charset_for_string():
This code is responsible to resolve the BINARY comparison style
into the corresponding _bin collation, to do the following transparent
rewrite:
CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(10) BINARY) CHARSET utf8; ->
CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin);
This code is only needed for string data types.
Previously it was erroneously called for all data types.
6. Renaming Table_scope_and_contents_source_pod_st::table_charset
to alter_table_convert_to_charset, because the only purpose it's used for
is handlering "ALTER .. CONVERT". The new name is much more self-descriptive.
The assertion failed in handler::ha_reset upon SELECT under
READ UNCOMMITTED from table with index on virtual column.
This was the debug-only failure, though the problem is mush wider:
* MY_BITMAP is a structure containing my_bitmap_map, the latter is a raw
bitmap.
* read_set, write_set and vcol_set of TABLE are the pointers to MY_BITMAP
* The rest of MY_BITMAPs are stored in TABLE and TABLE_SHARE
* The pointers to the stored MY_BITMAPs, like orig_read_set etc, and
sometimes all_set and tmp_set, are assigned to the pointers.
* Sometimes tmp_use_all_columns is used to substitute the raw bitmap
directly with all_set.bitmap
* Sometimes even bitmaps are directly modified, like in
TABLE::update_virtual_field(): bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) is called.
The last three bullets in the list, when used together (which is mostly
always) make the program flow cumbersome and impossible to follow,
notwithstanding the errors they cause, like this MDEV-17556, where tmp_set
pointer was assigned to read_set, write_set and vcol_set, then its bitmap
was substituted with all_set.bitmap by dbug_tmp_use_all_columns() call,
and then bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) was applied to all this.
To untangle this knot, the rule should be applied:
* Never substitute bitmaps! This patch is about this.
orig_*, all_set bitmaps are never substituted already.
This patch changes the following function prototypes:
* tmp_use_all_columns, dbug_tmp_use_all_columns
to accept MY_BITMAP** and to return MY_BITMAP * instead of my_bitmap_map*
* tmp_restore_column_map, dbug_tmp_restore_column_maps to accept
MY_BITMAP* instead of my_bitmap_map*
These functions now will substitute read_set/write_set/vcol_set directly,
and won't touch underlying bitmaps.

Cause: shared federatedx_io cannot store table-specific data.
Fix: move current row reference `federatedx_io_mysql::current` to
ha_federatedx.
FederatedX connection (represented by federatedx_io) is stored into
federatedx_txn::txn_list of per-server connections (see
federatedx_txn::acquire()). federatedx_txn object is stored into THD
(see ha_federatedx::external_lock()). When multiple handlers acquire
FederatedX connection they get single federatedx_io instance. Multiple
handlers do their operation via federatedx_io_mysql::mark_position()
and federatedx_io_mysql::fetch_row() in arbitrarty manner. They access
the same federatedx_io_mysql instance and same MYSQL_ROWS *current
pointer, so one handler disrupts the work of the other.

Backport to 10.4:
- Don't try to push down SELECTs that have a side effect
- In case the storage engine did support pushdown of SELECT with an INTO
clause, write the rows we've got from it into select->join->result,
and not thd->protocol. This way, SELECT ... INTO ... FROM
smart_engine_table will put the result into where instructed, and
NOT send it to the client.
MDEV-19486 and one more similar bug appeared because handler::write_row() interface
welcomes to modify buffer by storage engine. But callers are not ready for that
thus bugs are possible in future.

Interfaces + Proof of Concept for federatedx with test cases.
The interfaces have been developed for integration of ColumnStore engine.
Part of MDEV-5336 Implement LOCK FOR BACKUP
- Added new locks to MDL_BACKUP for all stages of backup locks and
a new MDL lock needed for backup stages.
- Renamed MDL_BACKUP_STMT to MDL_BACKUP_DDL
- flush_tables() takes a new parameter that decides what should be flushed.
- InnoDB, Aria (transactional tables with checksums), Blackhole, Federated
and Federatedx tables are marked to be safe for online backup. We are
using MDL_BACKUP_TRANS_DML instead of MDL_BACKUP_DML locks for these
which allows any DML's to proceed for these tables during the whole
backup process until BACKUP STAGE COMMIT which will block the final
commit.
do "set time_zone='+00:00'" on remote server
after connecting.
temporarily reset local time zone to my_tz_OFFSET0
whenever Field::val_str() or Field::store()
methods are used.
no matching operator delete found; memory will not be freed if initialization throws an exception
Added a no-op delete() for MEM_ROOT based placement-new()
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
This will make it easier to how memory allocation is done when debugging
with either DBUG or gdb.
Will especially help when debugging stored procedures
Main change is a name argument as second argument to init_alloc_root()
init_sql_alloc()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ENTER/EXIT to some Virtual_tmp_table functions
TRASH was mapped to TRASH_FREE and was supposed to be used for memory
that should not be accessed anymore, while TRASH_ALLOC() is to be
used for uninitialized but to-be-used memory.
But sometimes TRASH() was used in the latter sense.
Remove TRASH() macro, always use explicit TRASH_ALLOC() or TRASH_FREE().
