This patch changes how old rows in mysql.gtid_slave_pos* tables are deleted.
Instead of doing it as part of every replicated transaction in
record_gtid(), it is done periodically (every @@gtid_cleanup_batch_size
transaction) in the slave background thread.
This removes the deletion step from the replication process in SQL or worker
threads, which could speed up replication with many small transactions. It
also decreases contention on the global mutex LOCK_slave_state. And it
simplifies the logic, eg. when a replicated transaction fails after having
deleted old rows.
With this patch, the deletion of old GTID rows happens asynchroneously and
slightly non-deterministic. Thus the number of old rows in
mysql.gtid_slave_pos can temporarily exceed @@gtid_cleanup_batch_size. But
all old rows will be deleted eventually after sufficiently many new GTIDs
have been replicated.
This would happen especially in optimistic parallel replication, where there
is a good chance that a transaction will be rolled back (due to conflicts)
after it has executed record_gtid(). If the transaction did any deletions of
old rows as part of record_gtid(), those deletions will be undone as well.
And the code did not properly ensure that the deletions would be re-tried.
This patch makes record_gtid() remember the list of deletions done as part
of a transaction. Then in rpl_slave_state::update() when the changes have
been committed, we discard the list. However, in case of error and rollback,
in cleanup_context() we will instead put the list back into
rpl_global_gtid_slave_state so that the deletions will be re-tried later.
Probably fixes part of the cause of MDEV-12147 as well.

This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
As reported in MDEV-11969 "there's no way to ditch knowledge" about some
domain that is no longer updated on a server. Besides being of annoyance to
clutter output in DBA console stale domains can prevent the slave
to connect the master as MDEV-12012 witnesses.
What domain is obsolete must be evaluated by the user (DBA) according
to whether the domain info is still relevant and will the domain ever
receive any update.
This patch introduces a method to discard obsolete gtid domains from
the server binlog state. The removal requires no event group from such
domain present in existing binlog files though. If there are any the
containing logs must be first PURGEd in order for
FLUSH BINARY LOGS DELETE_DOMAIN_ID=(list-of-domains)
succeed. Otherwise the command returns an error.
The list of obsolete domains can be computed through
intersecting two sets - the earliest (first) binlog's Gtid_list
and the current value of @@global.gtid_binlog_state - and extracting
the domain id components from the intersection list items.
The new DELETE_DOMAIN_ID featured FLUSH continues to rotate binlog
omitting the deleted domains from the active binlog file's Gtid_list.
Notice though when the command is ineffective - that none of requested to delete
domain exists in the binlog state - rotation does not occur.
Obsolete domain deletion is not harmful for connected slaves as long
as master side binlog files *purge* is synchronized with FLUSH-DELETE_DOMAIN_ID.
The slaves must have the last event from purged files processed as usual,
in order not to bump later into requesting a gtid from a file which
was already gone.
While the command is not replicated (as ordinary FLUSH BINLOG LOGS is)
slaves, even though having extra domains, won't suffer from reconnection errors
thanks to master-slave gtid connection protocol allowing the master
to be ignorant about a gtid domain.
Should at failover such slave to be promoted into master role it may run
the ex-master's
FLUSH BINARY LOGS DELETE_DOMAIN_ID=(list-of-domains)
to clean its own binlog state.
NOTES.
suite/perfschema/r/start_server_low_digest.result
is re-recorded as consequence of internal parser codes changes.
Intermediate commit.
Fix compilation failure with different my_atomic implementation.
The my_atomic_loadptr* takes void ** as first argument, so variables
updated with it needs to be void * (it is not legal C to cast
some_type ** to void **).

- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*

- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()

- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
Intermediate commit.
Fix incorrect assertion. The hton in the list of pending GTIDs can be
NULL, in the special case where we failed to load the
mysql.gtid_slave_pos table at server startup, but nevertheless allow
non-GTID replication to proceed.
Intermediate commit.
Implement auto-creation of mysql.gtid_slave_pos* tables with needed engines,
if listed in --gtid-pos-auto-engines.
Uses an asynchronous approach to minimise locking overhead.
The list of available tables is extended with a flag. Extra entries are
added for --gtid-pos-auto-engines tables that do not exist yet, marked as
not existing but ready for auto-creation.
If record_gtid() needs a table marked for auto-creation, it sends a request
to the slave background thread to create the table, and continues to use an
existing table for the current and immediately coming transactions.
As soon as the slave background thread has made the new table available, it
will be used for all subsequent relevant transactions in record_gtid().
This asynchronous approach also avoids a lot of complex issues around trying
to do DDL in the middle of an on-going transaction.
Intermediate commit.
This commit implements that record_gtid() selects a gtid_slave_posXXX table
with a storage engine already in use by current transaction, if any.
The default table mysql.gtid_slave_pos is used if no match can be found on
storage engine, or for GTID position updates with no specific storage
engine.
Table discovery of mysql.gtid_slave_pos* happens on initial GTID state load
as well as on every START SLAVE. Some effort is made to make this possible
without additional locking. New tables are added using lock-free atomics.
Removing tables requires stopping all slaves first. A warning is given in
the error log when a table is removed but a non-stopped slave still has a
reference to it.
If multiple mysql.gtid_slave_posXXX tables with same storage engine exist,
one is chosen arbitrarily to be used, with a warning in the error log. GTID
data from all tables is still read, but only one among redundant tables with
same storage engine will be updated.
Intermediate commit.
For each GTID recorded in mysq.gtid_slave_pos, keep track of which
engine the update was made in.
This will be later used to know which rows can be deleted in the table
of a given engine.
Intermediate commit.
Keep track of which mysql.gtid_slave_posXXX tables are available for each
engine, by searching for all tables in the mysql schema with names that
start with "gtid_slave_pos".
The list is computed at server start when the GTID position is loaded, and
it is re-computed on every START SLAVE command. This way, the DBA can
manually add a table for a new engine, and it will be automatically picked
up on next START SLAVE, so a full server restart is not needed.
The list is not yet actually used in the code.
- Change some static variables to dynamic to ensure that we don't do any memory
allocations before server starts or stops
- Print more memory information on SIGHUP. Fixed output.
- Write out if memory was lost if run with --debug-at-exit
- Fixed wrong #ifdef in sql_cache.cc
This includes fixing all utilities to not have any memory leaks,
as safemalloc warnings stopped tests from passing on MacOSX.
- Ensure that all clients takes character-set-dir, as the
libmysqlclient library will use it.
- mysql-test-run now passes character-set-dir to all external clients.
- Changed dynstr_free() so that it can be called twice (made freeing code easier)
- Changed rpl_global_gtid_slave_state to be allocated dynamicly as it
includes a mutex that needs to be initizlied/destroyed before my_end() is called.
- Removed rpl_slave_state::init() and rpl_slave_stage::deinit() as
their job are better handling by constructor and delete.
- Print alias instead of table_name in check_duplicate_key as
table_name may have been converted to lower case.
Other things:
- Fixed a case in time_to_datetime_with_warn() where we where
using && instead of & in tests
The binlog contains specially marked format description events to mark
when a master restart happened (which could have caused temporary
tables to be silently dropped). Such events also cause slave to close
temporary tables.
However, there was a bug that if after this, slave re-connects to the
master in GTID mode, the master can send an old format description
event again. If temporary tables are closed when such event is seen
for the second time, it might drop temporary tables created after that
event, and cause replication failure.
With this patch, the restart flag of the format description event is
cleared by the master when it is sent to the slave in a subsequent
connection, to avoid the errorneous temp table close.
The problem occurs in parallel replication in GTID mode, when we are using
multiple replication domains. In this case, if the SQL thread stops, the
slave GTID position may refer to a different point in the relay log for each
domain.
The bug was that when the SQL thread was stopped and restarted (but the IO
thread was kept running), the SQL thread would resume applying the relay log
from the point of the most advanced replication domain, silently skipping all
earlier events within other domains. This caused replication corruption.
This patch solves the problem by storing, when the SQL thread stops with
multiple parallel replication domains active, the current GTID
position. Additionally, the current position in the relay logs is moved back
to a point known to be earlier than the current position of any replication
domain. Then when the SQL thread restarts from the earlier position, GTIDs
encountered are compared against the stored GTID position. Any GTID that was
already applied before the stop is skipped to avoid duplicate apply.
This patch should have no effect if multi-domain GTID parallel replication is
not used. Similarly, if both SQL and IO thread are stopped and restarted, the
patch has no effect, as in this case the existing relay logs are removed and
re-fetched from the master at the current global @@gtid_slave_pos.
Before, the arrival of same GTID twice in multi-source replication
would cause double-apply or in gtid strict mode an error.
Keep the behaviour, but add an option --gtid-ignore-duplicates which
allows to correctly handle duplicates, ignoring all but the first.
This relies on the user ensuring correct configuration so that
sequence numbers are strictly increasing within each replication
domain; then duplicates can be detected simply by comparing the
sequence numbers against what is already applied.
Only one master connection (but possibly multiple parallel worker
threads within that connection) is allowed to apply events within
one replication domain at a time; any other connection that
receives a GTID in the same domain either discards it (if it is
already applied) or waits for the other connection to not have
any events to apply.
Intermediate patch, as proof-of-concept for testing. The main limitation
is that currently it is only implemented for parallel replication,
@@slave_parallel_threads > 0.
Rewrite the gtid_waiting::wait_for_gtid() function.
The code was rubbish (and buggy). Now the logic is
much clearer.
Also fix a missing slave sync that could cause test failure.
MASTER_GTID_WAIT() is similar to MASTER_POS_WAIT(), but works with a
GTID position rather than an old-style filename/offset.
@@LAST_GTID gives the GTID assigned to the last transaction written
into the binlog.
Together, the two can be used by applications to obtain the GTID of
an update on the master, and then do a MASTER_GTID_WAIT() for that
position on any read slave where it is important to get results that
are caught up with the master at least to the point of the update.
The implementation of MASTER_GTID_WAIT() is implemented in a way
that tries to minimise the performance impact on the SQL threads,
even in the presense of many waiters on single GTID positions (as
from @@LAST_GTID).
There were some places where insufficient locking between
parallel threads could cause invalid memory accesses and
possibly other grief.
This patch adds the missing locking, and moves the locking
into the struct rpl_binlog_state methods to make it easier
to see that proper locking is in place everywhere.
Two problems were fixed:
1. When not in GTID mode (master_use_gtid=no), then we must not apply events
in different domains in parallel (in non-GTID mode we are not capable of
restarting at different points in different domains).
2. When transactions B and C group commit together, but after and separate
from A, we can apply B and C in parallel, but both B and C must not start
until A has committed. Fix sub_id to be globally increasing (not just
per-domain increasing) so that this wait (which is based on sub_id) can be
done correctly.
Implement @@gtid_binlog_state. This is the internal state of the binlog
(most recent GTID logged for every domain_id and server_id). This allows
to save the state before RESET MASTER and restore it afterwards.
The ignored events are not written to the relay log, but instead a fake
Rotate event is generated to handle update of position.
Extend this for Gtid so we similarly generate a fake Gtid_list event
to update the GTID position.
Also fix an unrelated test issue that got triggered by the added test cases.
The main bug here was the following situation:
Suppose we set up a completely new master2 as an extra multi-master to an
existing slave that already has a different master1 for domain_id=0. When the
slave tries to connect to master2, master2 will not have anything that slave
requests in domain_id=0, but that is fine as master2 is supposedly meant to
serve eg. domain_id=1. (This is MDEV-4485).
But suppose that master2 then actually starts sending events from
domain_id=0. In this case, the fix for MDEV-4485 was incomplete, and the code
would fail to give the error that the position requested by the slave in
domain_id=0 was missing from the binlogs of master2. This could lead to lost
events or completely wrong replication.
The patch for this bug fixes this issue.
In addition, it cleans up the code a bit, getting rid of the fake_gtid_hash in
the code. And the error message when slave and master have diverged due to
alternate future is clarified, as requested in the bug description.
Fix problems related to reconnect. When we need to reconnect (ie. explict
stop/start of just the IO thread by user, or automatic reconnect due to
loosing network connection with the master), it is a bit complex to correctly
resume at the right point without causing duplicate or missing events in the
relay log. The previous code had multiple problems in this regard.
With this patch, the problem is solved as follows. The IO thread keeps track
(in memory) of which GTID was last queued to the relay log. If it needs to
reconnect, it resumes at that GTID position. It also counts number of events
received within the last, possibly partial, event group, and skips the same
number of events after a reconnect, so that events already enqueued before the
reconnect are not duplicated.
(There is no need to keep any persistent state; whenever we restart slave
threads after both of them being stopped (such as after server restart), we
erase the relay logs and start over from the last GTID applied by SQL thread.
But while the SQL thread is running, this patch is needed to get correct relay
log).
When @@GLOBAL.gtid_strict_mode=1, then certain operations result
in error that would otherwise result in out-of-order binlog files
between servers.
GTID sequence numbers are now allocated independently per domain;
this results in less/no holes in GTID sequences, increasing the
likelyhood that diverging binlogs will be caught by the slave when
GTID strict mode is enabled.
