A part of the test main.long_unique attempts to insert records
with two 60,000,001-byte columns. Let us move that test into
a separate file main.long_unique_big, declared as big test,
so that it can be skipped in environments with limited memory.
Drop and add same key is considered rename (look ALTER_RENAME_INDEX in
fill_alter_inplace_info()). But in this case order of keys may be
changed, because mysql_prepare_alter_table() yet does not know about
rename and treats 2 operations: drop and add.
In that case we disable inplace algorithm for such engines as Memory,
MyISAM and Aria with ALTER_INDEX_ORDER flag. These engines have no
specialized check_if_supported_inplace_alter() and default
handler::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() sees an unknown flag and
returns HA_ALTER_INPLACE_NOT_SUPPORTED.
ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() works differently and
inplace is not disabled (with the help of modified
INNOBASE_INPLACE_IGNORE). add_drop_v_cols fork was also tweaked as it
wrongly failed with MSG_UNSUPPORTED_ALTER_ONLINE_ON_VIRTUAL_COLUMN
when it seen ALTER_INDEX_ORDER.
No-op operation must be still no-op no matter of ALTER_INDEX_ORDER
presence, so we tweek its condition as well.
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.
* rename to a generic name
* move remaning initializations from query exec to prepare time
* simplify/unify key handling in open_table_from_share and delayed
* remove dead code
* move tests where they belong
MDEV-21606 Improve update handler (long unique keys on blobs)
MDEV-21470 MyISAM and Aria start_bulk_insert doesn't work with long unique
MDEV-21606 Bug fix for previous version of this code
MDEV-21819 2 Assertion `inited == NONE || update_handler != this'
- Move update_handler from TABLE to handler
- Move out initialization of update handler from ha_write_row() to
prepare_for_insert()
- Fixed that INSERT DELAYED works with update handler
- Give an error if using long unique with an autoincrement column
- Added handler function to check if table has long unique hash indexes
- Disable write cache in MyISAM and Aria when using update_handler as
if cache is used, the row will not be inserted until end of statement
and update_handler would not find conflicting rows.
- Removed not used handler argument from
check_duplicate_long_entries_update()
- Syntax cleanups
- Indentation fixes
- Don't use single character indentifiers for arguments
The reason for hitting the assert is that rec_per_key estimates have some garbage value.
So the solution to fix this would be for long unique keys to use use rec_per_key for only 1 keypart,
that means rec_per_key[0] would have the estimate.
This patch implements engine independent unique hash index.
Usage:- Unique HASH index can be created automatically for blob/varchar/test column whose key
length > handler->max_key_length()
or it can be explicitly specified.
Automatic Creation:-
Create TABLE t1 (a blob unique);
Explicit Creation:-
Create TABLE t1 (a int , unique(a) using HASH);
Internal KEY_PART Representations:-
Long unique key_info will have 2 representations.
(lets understand this with an example create table t1(a blob, b blob , unique(a, b)); )
1. User Given Representation:- key_info->key_part array will be similar to what user has defined.
So in case of example it will have 2 key_parts (a, b)
2. Storage Engine Representation:- In this case there will be only one key_part and it will point to
HASH_FIELD. This key_part will be always after user defined key_parts.
So:- User Given Representation [a] [b] [hash_key_part]
key_info->key_part ----^
Storage Engine Representation [a] [b] [hash_key_part]
key_info->key_part ------------^
Table->s->key_info will have User Given Representation, While table->key_info will have Storage Engine
Representation.Representation can be changed into each other by calling re/setup_keyinfo_hash function.
Working:-
1. So when user specifies HASH_INDEX or key_length is > handler->max_key_length(), In mysql_prepare_create_table
One extra vfield is added (for each long unique key). And key_info->algorithm is set to HA_KEY_ALG_LONG_HASH.
2. In init_from_binary_frm_image values for hash_keypart is set (like fieldnr , field and flags)
3. In parse_vcol_defs, HASH_FIELD->vcol_info is created. Item_func_hash is used with list of Item_fields,
When Explicit length is given by user then Item_left is used to concatenate Item_field values.
4. In ha_write_row/ha_update_row check_duplicate_long_entry_key is called which will create the hash key from
table->record[0] and then call ha_index_read_map , if we found duplicated hash , we will compare the result
field by field.
