This patch adds for "--ps-protocol" second execution
of queries "SELECT".
Also in this patch it is added ability to disable/enable
(--disable_ps2_protocol/--enable_ps2_protocol) second
execution for "--ps-prototocol" in testcases.
This includes all test changes from
"Changing all cost calculation to be given in milliseconds"
and forwards.
Some of the things that caused changes in the result files:
- As part of fixing tests, I added 'echo' to some comments to be able to
easier find out where things where wrong.
- MATERIALIZED has now a higher cost compared to X than before. Because
of this some MATERIALIZED types have changed to DEPENDEND SUBQUERY.
- Some test cases that required MATERIALIZED to repeat a bug was
changed by adding more rows to force MATERIALIZED to happen.
- 'Filtered' in SHOW EXPLAIN has in many case changed from 100.00 to
something smaller. This is because now filtered also takes into
account the smallest possible ref access and filters, even if they
where not used. Another reason for 'Filtered' being smaller is that
we now also take into account implicit filtering done for subqueries
using FIRSTMATCH.
(main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
This is caluculated in best_access_path() and stored in records_out.
- Table orders has changed because more accurate costs.
- 'index' and 'ALL' for small tables has changed to use 'range' or
'ref' because of optimizer_scan_setup_cost.
- index can be changed to 'range' as 'range' optimizer assumes we don't
have to read the blocks from disk that range optimizer has already read.
This can be confusing in the case where there is no obvious where clause
but instead there is a hidden 'key_column > NULL' added by the optimizer.
(main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
- Scan on primary clustered key does not report 'Using Index' anymore
(It's a table scan, not an index scan).
- For derived tables, the number of rows is now 100 instead of 2,
which can be seen in EXPLAIN.
- More tests have "Using index for group by" as the cost of this
optimization is now more correct (lower).
- A primary key could be preferred for a normal key, even if it would
access more rows, as it's faster to do 1 lokoup and 3 'index_next' on a
clustered primary key than one lookup trough a secondary.
(main.stat_tables_innodb)
Notes:
- There was a 4.7% more calls to best_extension_by_limited_search() in
the main.greedy_optimizer test. However examining the test results
it looked that the plans where slightly better (eq_ref where more
chained together) so I assume this is ok.
- I have verified a few test cases where there was notable/unexpected
changes in the plan and in all cases the new optimizer plans where
faster. (main.greedy_optimizer and some others)
The idea is that when doing a tree dive (once per group), we need to
compare key values, which is fast. For each new group, we have to
compare the full where clause for the row.
Compared to original code, the cost of group_min_max() has slightly
increased which affects some test with only a few rows.
main.group_min_max and main.distinct have been modified to show the
effect of the change.
The patch also adjust the number of groups in case of quick selects:
- For simple WHERE clauses, ensure that we have at least as many groups
as we have conditions on the used group-by key parts.
The assumption is that each condition will create at least one group.
- Ensure that there are no more groups than rows found by quick_select
Test changes:
- For some small tables there has been a change of
Using index for group-by -> Using index for group-by (scanning)
Range -> Index and Using index for group-by -> Using index
- multi_range_read_info_const now uses the new records_in_range interface
- Added handler::avg_io_cost()
- Don't calculate avg_io_cost() in get_sweep_read_cost if avg_io_cost is
not 1.0. In this case we trust the avg_io_cost() from the handler.
- Changed test_quick_select to use TIME_FOR_COMPARE instead of
TIME_FOR_COMPARE_IDX to align this with the rest of the code.
- Fixed bug when using test_if_cheaper_ordering where we didn't use
keyread if index was changed
- Fixed a bug where we didn't use index only read when using order-by-index
- Added keyread_time() to HEAP.
The default keyread_time() was optimized for blocks and not suitable for
HEAP. The effect was the HEAP prefered table scans over ranges for btree
indexes.
- Fixed get_sweep_read_cost() for HEAP tables
- Ensure that range and ref have same cost for simple ranges
Added a small cost (MULTI_RANGE_READ_SETUP_COST) to ranges to ensure
we favior ref for range for simple queries.
- Fixed that matching_candidates_in_table() uses same number of records
as the rest of the optimizer
- Added avg_io_cost() to JT_EQ_REF cost. This helps calculate the cost for
HEAP and temporary tables better. A few tests changed because of this.
- heap::read_time() and heap::keyread_time() adjusted to not add +1.
This was to ensure that handler::keyread_time() doesn't give
higher cost for heap tables than for normal tables. One effect of
this is that heap and derived tables stored in heap will prefer
key access as this is now regarded as cheap.
- Changed cost for index read in sql_select.cc to match
multi_range_read_info_const(). All index cost calculation is now
done trough one function.
- 'ref' will now use quick_cost for keys if it exists. This is done
so that for '=' ranges, 'ref' is prefered over 'range'.
- scan_time() now takes avg_io_costs() into account
- get_delayed_table_estimates() uses block_size and avg_io_cost()
- Removed default argument to test_if_order_by_key(); simplifies code
SYSTEM_TYPE partitioning: COLUMN properties removed. Partitioning is
now pure RANGE based on UNIX_TIMESTAMP(row_end).
DECIMAL type is now allowed as RANGE partitioning, we can partition by
UNIX_TIMESTAMP() (but not for DATETIME which depends on local timezone
of course).
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.
