This commits adds the "materialization" block to the output of
EXPLAIN/ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON when materialized subqueries are involved
into processing. In the case of ANALYZE additional runtime information
is displayed, such as:
- chosen strategy of materialization
- number of partial match/index lookup loops
- sizes of partial match buffers
EXPLAIN EXTENDED for an UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT/REPLACE statement did not
produce the warning containing the text representation of the query
obtained after the optimization phase. Such warning was produced for
SELECT statements, but not for DML statements.
The patch fixes this defect of EXPLAIN EXTENDED for DML statements.
When a range rowid filter was used with an index ref access the cost of
accessing the index entries for the records rejected by the filter was not
taken into account. For a ref access by an index with big average number
of records per key this led to poor execution plans if selectivity of the
used filter was high.
The patch resolves this problem. It also introduces a minor optimization
that skips look-ups into a filter that turns out to be empty.
With this patch the output of ANALYZE stmt reports the number of look-ups
into used rowid filters.
The patch also back-ports from 10.5 the code that properly sets the field
TABLE::file::table for opened temporary tables.
The test cases that were supposed to use rowid filters have been adjusted
in order to use similar execution plans after this fix.

Attempt to produce EXPLAIN output caused a crash in
Explain_node::print_explain_for_children. The cause of this was that an
Explain_node (actually a derived) had a link to child select#N, but
there was no query plan present for select#N.
The query plan wasn't present because the subquery was eliminated.
- Either it was a degenerate subquery like "(SELECT 1)" in MDEV-25564.
- Or it was a subquery in a UNION subquery's ORDER BY clause:
col IN (SELECT ... UNION
SELECT ... ORDER BY (SELECT FROM t1))
In such cases, legacy code structure in subquery/union processing code(*)
makes it hard to detect that the subquery was eliminated, so we end up
with EXPLAIN data structures (Explain_node::children) having dangling
links to child subqueries.
Do make the checks and don't follow the dangling links.
(In ideal world, we should not have these dangling links. But fixing
the code (*) would have high risk for the stable versions).
UNION ALL queries are a subject of optimization introduced in MDEV-334
when creation of a temporary table is skipped.
While there is a check for this optimization in Explain_union::print_explain()
there was no such in Explain_union::print_explain_json(). This resulted in
printing irrelevant data like:
"union_result": {
"table_name": "<union2,3>",
"access_type": "ALL",
"r_loops": 0,
"r_rows": null
in case when creation of the temporary table was actually optimized out.
This commits adds a check whether the temporary table was actually created
during the UNION ALL processing and eliminates printing of the irrelevant data.
Count the "gap" time between table accesses and display it as
r_other_time_ms in the "table" element.
* The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't add any new
my_timer_cycles() calls.
* The disadvantage is that the definition of what is done during
"other time" is not that clear: it includes checking the WHERE
(for this table), constructing index lookup tuple (for the next table)
writing to GROUP BY temporary table (as we dont account for that time
separately [yet], etc)
The MDEV-20265 commit e746f451d5
introduces DBUG_ASSERT(right_op == r_tbl) in
st_select_lex::add_cross_joined_table(), and that assertion would
fail in several tests that exercise joins. That commit was skipped
in this merge, and a separate fix of MDEV-20265 will be necessary in 10.4.
This task involves the implementation for the optimizer trace.
This feature produces a trace for any SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE/,
which contains information about decisions taken by the optimizer during
the optimization phase (choice of table access method, various costs,
transformations, etc). This feature would help to tell why some decisions were
taken by the optimizer and why some were rejected.
Trace is session-local, controlled by the @@optimizer_trace variable.
To enable optimizer trace we need to write:
set @@optimizer_trace variable= 'enabled=on';
To display the trace one can run:
SELECT trace FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
This task also involves:
MDEV-18489: Limit the memory used by the optimizer trace
introduces a switch optimizer_trace_max_mem_size which limits
the memory used by the optimizer trace. This was implemented by
Sergei Petrunia.

Interfaces + Proof of Concept for federatedx with test cases.
The interfaces have been developed for integration of ColumnStore engine.
ANALYZE and ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON structures are changed in the way that they
show additional information when rowid filter is used:
- r_selectivity_pct - the observed filter selectivity
- r_buffer_size - the size of the rowid filter container buffer
- r_filling_time_ms - how long it took to fill rowid filter container
New class Rowid_filter_tracker was added. This class is needed to collect data
about how rowid filter is executed.
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.
