Apart from the fix, the patch also adds few more unrelated test
cases for partial matching, and fixes few typos.
Analysis:
This bug uncovered that partial matching via rowid intersection
didn't handle the case when:
- the left IN argument has some NULLs,
- there are no non-null value matches, and there is no non-null
column,
- the subquery columns that are not covered with the NULLs in
the left IN argument contain at least one row, such that it
has NULL values in all columns where the left IN operand has
no NULLs.
In this case there is a partial match.
In addition the analysis of the related code uncovered incorrect
handling of few other related cases.
Solution:
The solution for the bug is to check if there exists a row with
NULLs in all columns other than the ones having NULL in the
let IN operand.
The check is implemented via checking whether the bitmaps that
store NULL information in class Ordered_key have a non-empty
intersection for the relevant columns.
The intersection itself is implemented via the function
bitmap_exists_intersection() in my_bitmap.c.
In MariaDB, when running in ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode,
the server produced in incorrect error message that there
is an aggregate function without GROUP BY, for artificially
created MIN/MAX functions during subquery MIN/MAX optimization.
The fix introduces a way to distinguish between artifially
created MIN/MAX functions as a result of a rewrite, and normal
ones present in the query. The test for ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY violation
now tests in addition if a MIN/MAX function was part of a MIN/MAX
subquery rewrite.
In order to be able to distinguish these MIN/MAX functions, the
patch introduces an additional flag in Item_in_subselect::in_strategy -
SUBS_STRATEGY_CHOSEN. This flag is set when the optimizer makes its
final choice of a subuqery strategy. In order to make the choice
consistent, access to Item_in_subselect::in_strategy is provided
via new class methods.

Fix MySQL BUG#12329653
In MariaDB, when running in ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode,
the server produced in incorrect error message that there
is an aggregate function without GROUP BY, for artificially
created MIN/MAX functions during subquery MIN/MAX optimization.
The fix introduces a way to distinguish between artifially
created MIN/MAX functions as a result of a rewrite, and normal
ones present in the query. The test for ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY violation
now tests in addition if a MIN/MAX function was part of a MIN/MAX

final choice of a subuqery strategy. In order to make the choice
consistent, access to Item_in_subselect::in_strategy is provided
via new class methods.
Analysis:
Equality propagation propagated the constant '7' into
args[0] of the Item_in_optimizer that stands for the
"< ANY" predicate. At the same the min/max subquery
rewrite swapped the order of the left and right operands
of the "<" predicate, but used Item_in_subselect::left_expr.
As a result, when the <ANY predicate is executed early in the
execution phase as a contant condition, instead of a constant
right (swapped) argument of the < predicate, there was a field
(t3.a). This field had no data, since the whole predicate is
considered constant, and it is evaluated before any tables are
read. Having junk in the field row buffer produced wrong result
Solution:
Fix create_swap to pick the correct Item_in_optimizer left
argument.
The problem was that merged views has its own nest_level numbering =>
when we compare nest levels we should take into considiration basis (i.e. 0 level),
if it is different then nest levels are not comparable.
This bug happened for the queries over multi-table mergeable views
because the bitmap TABLE::read_set of the underlying tables were not
updated after the views had been merged into the query.
Now this bitmaps are updated properly.
Also the bitmap TABLE::merge_keys now is updated in prevention of
future bugs.
This bug happened due to incompleteness of the fix for bug 872735:
the occurrences of the fields in the conditions of correlated
subqueries were not taken into account when recalculating
covering keys bit maps.

Problematic query:
insert ignore into `t1_federated` (`c1`) select `c1` from `t1_local` a
where not exists (select 1 from `t1_federated` b where a.c1 = b.c1);
When this query is killed in another connection it could lead to crash.
The problem is follwing:
An attempt to obtain table statistics for subselect table in killed query
fails with an error. So JOIN::optimize() for subquery is failed but
it does not prevent further subquery evaluation.
At the first subquery execution JOIN::optimize() is called
(see subselect_single_select_engine::exec()) and fails with
an error. 'executed' flag is set to TRUE and it prevents
further subquery evaluation. At the second call
JOIN::optimize() does not happen as 'JOIN::optimized' is TRUE
and in case of uncacheable subquery the 'executed' flag is set
to FALSE before subquery evaluation. So we loose 'optimize stage'
error indication (see subselect_single_select_engine::exec()).
In other words 'executed' flag is used for two purposes, for
error indication at JOIN::optimize() stage and for an
indication of subquery execution. And it seems it's wrong
as the flag could be reset.

The problem: in an uncorrelated subquery, JOIN execution code may make
irreversible cleanups after it has been executed (because the subquery
won't be executed again). In particular, JTBM nests and their injected
IN-equalities will be invalidated (the materialized table will be dropped
and TABLE structure freed).
Solution: don't walk into Item_subselect if represents an uncorrelated
subselect that has already been executed. The idea is that the subselect
will not be executed again (calling Item_subselect_xxx::val_int() will fetch
the cached value), so it should not matter what is inside the subselect.
Analysis:
The cause of the bug was that the method
subselect_rowid_merge_engine::partial_match()
was not designed for re-execution within the
same query. Specifically, it didn't cleanup
the bitmap of matching keys after completion.
The test query requires double execution of
the IN predicate because it first checks the
predicate as a constant condition. The second
execution during regular execution used the bitmap
of matching keys produced by the first execution
instead of starting with a clean one.
Solution:
Cleanup the bitmap of matching keys at the end of
the partial matching procedure.
Analysis:
The cause of the bug was the changed meaning of
subselect_partial_match_engine::has_covering_null_row.
Previously it meant that there is row with NULLs in
all nullable fields of the materialized subquery table.
Later it was changed to mean a row with NULLs in all
fields of this table.
At the same time there was a shortcut in
subselect_rowid_merge_engine::partial_match() that
detected a special case where:
- there is no match in any of the columns with NULLs, and
- there is no NULL-only row that covers all columns with
NULLs.
With the change in the meaning of has_covering_null_row,
the condition that detected this special case was incomplete.
This resulted in an incorrect FALSE, when the result was a
partial match.
Solution:
Expand the condition that detected the special case with the
correct test for the existence of a row with NULL values in
all columns that contain NULLs (a kind of parially covering
NULL-row).
- Provide fix_after_pullout() function for Item_in_optimizer and other Item_XXX classes (basically, all of them
that have eval_not_null_tables, which means they have special rules for calculating not_null_tables_cache value)
- Item_in_subselect::inject_in_to_exists_cond() should not call
((Item_cond*)join->conds)->argument_list()->concat(join->cond_equal->current_level)
as that makes two lists share their tail, and the cond_equal list
will end up containing non-Item_equal objects when substitute_for_best_equal_field()
walks through join->conds and replaces all Item_equal objects with Item_func_eq objects.
- So, instead of using List::concat(), manually copy entries from one list to another.

- The problem was that the code that made the check whether the subquery is an AND-part of the WHERE
clause didn't work correctly for nested subqueries. In particular, grand-child subquery in HAVING was
treated as if it was in the WHERE, which eventually caused an assert when replace_where_subcondition
looked for the subquery predicate in the WHERE and couldn't find it there.
- The fix: Removed implementation of "thd_marker approach". thd->thd_marker was used to determine the
location of subquery predicate: setup_conds() would set accordingly it when making the
{where|on_expr}->fix_fields(...)
call so that AND-parts of the WHERE/ON clauses can determine they are the AND-parts.
Item_cond_or::fix_fields(), Item_func::fix_fields(), Item_subselect::fix_fields (this one was missed),
and all other items-that-contain-items had to reset thd->thd_marker before calling fix_fields() for
their children items, so that the children can see they are not AND-parts of WHERE/ON.
- The "thd_marker approach" required that a lot of code in different locations maintains correct value of
thd->thd_marker, so it was replaced with:
- The new approach with mark_as_condition_AND_part does not keep context in thd->thd_marker. Instead,
setup_conds() now calls
{where|on_expr}->mark_as_condition_AND_part()
and implementations of that function make sure that:
- parts of AND-expressions get the mark_as_condition_AND_part() call
- Item_in_subselect objects record that they are AND-parts of WHERE/ON
Analysis:
Partial matching is used even when there are no NULLs in
a materialized subquery, as long as the left NOT IN operand
may contain NULL values.
This case was not handled correctly in two different places.
First, the implementation of parital matching did not clear
the set of matching columns when the merge process advanced
to the next row.
Second, there is no need to perform partial matching at all
when the left operand has no NULLs.
Solution:
First fix subselect_rowid_merge_engine::partial_match() to
properly cleanup the bitmap of matching keys when advancing
to the next row.
Second, change subselect_partial_match_engine::exec() so
that when the materialized subquery doesn't contain any
NULLs, and the left operand of [NOT] IN doesn't contain
NULLs either, the method returns without doing any
unnecessary partial matching. The correct result in this
case is in Item::in_value.
The bug is a duplicate of MySQL's Bug#11764086,
however MySQL's fix is incomplete for MariaDB, so
this fix is slightly different.
In addition, this patch renames
Item_func_not_all::top_level() to is_top_level_item()
to make it in line with the analogous methods of
Item_in_optimizer, and Item_subselect.
Analysis:
It is possible to determine whether a predicate is
NULL-rejecting only if it is a top-level one. However,
this was not taken into account for Item_in_optimizer.
As a result, a NOT IN predicate was erroneously
considered as NULL-rejecting, and the NULL-complemented
rows generated by the outer join were rejected before
being checked by the NOT IN predicate.
Solution:
Change Item_in_optimizer to be considered as
NULL-rejecting only if it a top-level predicate.
ALL subquery should return TRUE if subquery rowa set is empty independently
of left part. The problem was that Item_func_(eq,ne,gt,ge,lt,le) do not
call execution of second argument if first is NULL no in this case subquery
will not be executed and when Item_func_not_all calls any_value() of the
subquery or aggregation function which report that there was rows. So for
NULL < ALL (SELECT...) result was FALSE instead of TRUE.
Fix is just swapping of arguments of Item_func_(eq,ne,gt,ge,lt,le) (with
changing the operation if it is needed) so that result will be the same
(for examole a < b is equal to b > a). This fix exploit the fact that
first argument will be executed in any case.

The problem was that optimizer removes some outer references (it they are
constant for example) and the list of outer items built during prepare phase is
not actual during execution phase when we need it as the cache parameters.
First solution was use pointer on pointer on outer reference Item and
initialize temporary table on demand. This solved most problem except case
when optimiser also reduce Item which contains outer references ('OR' in
this bug test suite).
The solution is to build the list of outer reference items on execution
phase (after optimization) on demand (just before temporary table creation)
by walking Item tree and finding outer references among Item_ident
(Item_field/Item_ref) and Item_sum items.
Removed depends_on list (because it is not neede any mnore for the cache, in the place where it was used it replaced with upper_refs).

Analysis:
Both the wrong result and the valgrind warning were a result
of incomplete cleanup of the MIN/MAX subquery rewrite. At the
first execution of the query, the non-aggregate subquery is
transformed into an aggregate MIN/MAX subquery. During the
fix_fields phase of the MIN/MAX function, it sets the property
st_select_lex::with_sum_func to true.
The second execution of the query finds this flag to be ON.
When optimization reaches the same MIN/MAX subquery
transformation, it tests if the subquery is an aggregate or not.
Since select_lex->with_sum_func == true from the previous
execution, the transformation executes the second branch that
handles aggregate subqueries. This substitutes the subquery
Item into a Item_maxmin_subselect. At the same time elsewhere
it is assumed that the subquery Item is of type
Item_allany_subselect. Ultimately this results in casting the
actual object to the wrong class, and calling the wrong
any_value() method from empty_underlying_subquery().
Solution:
Cleanup the st_select_lex::with_sum_func property in the case
when the MIN/MAX transformation was performed for a non-aggregate
subquery, so that the transformation can be repeated.
Also:
1. simplified the code of the function mysql_derived_merge_for_insert.
2. moved merge of views/dt for multi-update/delete to the prepare stage.
3. the list of the references to the candidates for semi-join now is
allocated in the statement memory.
- Added an initial set of feature-specific test cases
- Handled the special case where the materialized subquery of an
IN predicates consists of only NULL values.
- Fixed a bug where making Item_in_subselect a constant,
didn't respect its null_value value.
Analysis:
This is a bug in MWL#68, where it was incorrectly assumed
that if there is a match in the only non-null key, then
if there is a covering NULL row on all remaining NULL-able
columns there is a partial match. However, this is not the case,
because even if there is such a null-only sub-row, it is not
guaranteed to be part of the matched sub-row. The matched sub-row
and the NULL-only sub-row may be parts of different rows.
In fact there are two cases:
- there is a complete row with only NULL values, and
- all nullable columns contain only NULL values.
These two cases were incorrectly mixed up in the class member
subselect_partial_match_engine::covering_null_row_width.
Solution:
The solution is to:
- split covering_null_row_width into two members:
has_covering_null_row, and has_covering_null_columns, and
- take into account each state during initialization and
execution.
In addition to the bug fix explained below, the patch performs
few renames, and adds some comments to avoid similar problems.
Analysis:
The failed assert was due to a bug in MWL#68, where it was
incorrectly assumed that the size of the bitmap
subselect_rowid_merge_engine::null_only_columns should be
the same as the size of the array of Ordered_keys.
The bitmap null_only_columns contains bits to mark columns
that contain only NULLs. Therefore the indexes of the bits
to be set in null_only_columns are different from the indexes
of the Ordered_keys. If there is a NULL-only column that appears
in a table after the last partial match column with Ordered_key,
this NULL-only column would require setting a bit with index
bigger than the size of the bitmap null_only_columns.
Accessing such a bit caused the failed assert.
Solution:
Upon analysis, it turns out that null_only_columns is not needed
at all, because we are looking for partial matches, and having
such columns guarantees that there is a partial match for any
corresponding outer value.
Therefore the patch removes
subselect_rowid_merge_engine::null_only_columns.
- JOIN::prepare would have set JOIN::table_count to incorrect value (bad merge of MWL 106)
- optimize_keyuse() would use table-bit as table number
(the change in optimize_keyuse is also the reason for query plan changes. Not
expected to have much effect because only handles cases of no index statistics)
- st_select_lex::register_dependency_item() ignored the fact that some of the
selects on the dependency paths could have been merged to their parents (because they
were mergeable VIEWs)
- Undo the incorrect fix in Item_subselect::recalc_used_tables(): do not call
fix_after_pullout() for Item_subselect::Ref_to_outside members.
- Update test results
- Fix a problem with PS:
= convert_subq_to_sj() should not save where to prep_where or on_expr to prep_on_expr.
= After an unmerged subquery predicate has been pulled, it should call fix_after_pullout() for
outer_refs.
- Added regression test with queries over the WORLD database.
- Discovered and fixed several bugs in the related cost calculation
functionality both in the semijoin and non-semijon subquery code.
- Added DBUG printing of the cost variables used to decide between
IN-EXISTS and MATERIALIZATION.
way of processing prepared statements:
- conversion subquery_predicate -> TABLE_LIST is once per-statement
- However, the code must take into account that materialized temptable
is dropped and re-created on each execution (the tricky part is that
at start of n-th EXECUTE we have TABLE_LIST object but not its TABLE object)
- IN-equality is injected into WHERE on every execution.
