Problem: rpl_variables_stm.test used a character set and a collation which
are not included on all platforms.
Fix: replace the character set and collation by ones that are included on
all platforms. (rpl_variables_stm does not rely on which character set is
used, the only important aspect is the fact that it changes.)
The reason is that we are using a sleep to wait for slave to reach the
slave_transaction_retries limit.
Fix: wait for the slave to stop instead. This is what we want to do, since
the slave stops when the limit is reached.
Affected tests fixing. After the fix for st_relay_log_info::wait_for_pos() that
handles widely used select('master-bin.xxxx',pos) invoked by mysqltest
there appeared to be four tests that either tried synchronizing when
the slave was stopped or used incorrect synchronization method like
to call `sync_with_master' from the current connection being to the
master itself.
Fixed with correcting the current connection or/and using the correct
synchronization macro when possible.
Problem: in mixed and statement mode, a query that refers to a
system variable will use the slave's value when replayed on
slave. So if the value of a system variable is inserted into a
table, the slave will differ from the master.
Fix: mark statements that refer to a system variable as "unsafe",
meaning they will be replicated by row in mixed mode and produce a warning
in statement mode. There are some exceptions: some variables are actually
replicated. Those should *not* be marked as unsafe.
BUG#34732: mysqlbinlog does not print default values for auto_increment variables
Problem: mysqlbinlog does not print default values for some variables,
including auto_increment_increment and others. So if a client executing
the output of mysqlbinlog has different default values, replication will
be wrong.
Fix: Always print default values for all variables that are replicated.
I need to fix the two bugs at the same time, because the test cases would
fail if I only fixed one of them.
There was a failure in that show slave status displayed a wrong message
when slave stopped at processing a row event inserting to a default-less
column.
The problem seem to have ceased after recent fixes in rbr code.
However, the test was not updated to carry testing of the case commented-out.
Uncommenting and editing the test.
Notice, Bug#23907 is most probably a duplicate of this one.
MASTER_POS_WAIT return values are different than expected when the server is not a slave.
It returns -1 instead of NULL.
Fixed with correcting st_relay_log_info::wait_for_pos() to return the proper
value in the case of rli info is not inited.
