mysqlbinlog prints all row-based events of a single statement as a
single "BINLOG" statement containing the concatenation of those events.
Big (i.e. >64k) concatenations of row-based events
(e.g. Write_rows_log_event) caused mysqlbinlog's IO_CACHE to overflow
to a temporary file but the IO_CACHE had not been inited with
open_cached_file(), so it tried to create a temporary file in
an uninitialized directory (thus failing to create, then to write;
some OS errors were printed, and it finally segfaulted).
After fixing this, it appeared that mysqlbinlog was printing only
a piece of big concatenations of row-based events (it printed
at most the size of the IO_CACHE's buffer i.e. 64k); that caused data
loss at restore. We fix and test that.
Last, mysqlbinlog's printouts looked a bit strange with the informative
header (#-prefixed) of groupped Rows_log_event all on one line,
so we insert \n. After that, a small bug in the --hexdump code appeared
(only if the string to hex-print had its length a multiple of 16),
we fix it.
Problem: mysqlbinlog_base64 failed sporadically.
Reason: Missing "flush logs" before running $MYSQL_BINLOG,
which could start dumping the log file before server
has finished writting into it.
Fix:
- implementing --force-if-open option to "mysqlbinlog"
- adding --disable-force-if-open to make $MYSQL_BINLOG
fail on non-closed log files, to garantee that nobody
will forget "flush logs" in the future.
- adding "flush logs" into all affected tests.
Rename mix_innodb_myisam_binlog-master.opt; when the test was moved to
separate stm/row test cases, the .opt were not moved along with it,
causing a 60-second test duration because of default lock timeout :-(
