binlog
Mixing transactional (T) and non-transactional (N) tables on behalf of a
transaction may lead to inconsistencies among masters and slaves in STATEMENT
mode. The problem stems from the fact that although modifications done to
non-transactional tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible
to other connections they do not immediately get to the binary log and therefore
consistency is broken. Although there may be issues in mixing T and M tables in
STATEMENT mode, there are safe combinations that clients find useful.
In this bug, we fix the following issue. Mixing N and T tables in multi-level
(e.g. a statement that fires a trigger) or multi-table table statements (e.g.
update t1, t2...) were not handled correctly. In such cases, it was not possible
to distinguish when a T table was updated if the sequence of changes was N and T.
In a nutshell, just the flag "modified_non_trans_table" was not enough to reflect
that both a N and T tables were changed. To circumvent this issue, we check if an
engine is registered in the handler's list and changed something which means that
a T table was modified.
Check WL 2687 for a full-fledged patch that will make the use of either the MIXED or
ROW modes completely safe.
Large transactions and statements may corrupt the binary log if the size of the
cache, which is set by the max_binlog_cache_size, is not enough to store the
the changes.
In a nutshell, to fix the bug, we save the position of the next character in the
cache before starting processing a statement. If there is a problem, we simply
restore the position thus removing any effect of the statement from the cache.
Unfortunately, to avoid corrupting the binary log, we may end up loosing changes
on non-transactional tables if they do not fit in the cache. In such cases, we
store an Incident_log_event in order to stop the slave and alert users that some
changes were not logged.
Precisely, for every non-transactional changes that do not fit into the cache,
we do the following:
a) the statement is *not* logged
b) an incident event is logged after committing/rolling back the transaction,
if any. Note that if a failure happens before writing the incident event to
the binary log, the slave will not stop and the master will not have reported
any error.
c) its respective statement gives an error
For transactional changes that do not fit into the cache, we do the following:
a) the statement is *not* logged
b) its respective statement gives an error
To work properly, this patch requires two additional things. Firstly, callers to
MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write and THD::binlog_query must handle any error returned and
take the appropriate actions such as undoing the effects of a statement. We
already changed some calls in the sql_insert.cc, sql_update.cc and sql_insert.cc
modules but the remaining calls spread all over the code should be handled in
BUG#37148. Secondly, statements must be either classified as DDL or DML because
DDLs that do not get into the cache must generate an incident event since they
cannot be rolled back.

The special TRUNCATE TABLE (DDL) transaction wasn't being properly
rolled back if a error occurred during row by row deletion. The
error can be caused by a foreign key restriction imposed by InnoDB
SE and would cause the server to erroneously issue a implicit
commit.
The solution is to rollback the transaction if a truncation via row
by row deletion fails, otherwise commit. All effects of a TRUNCATE
ABLE operation are rolled back if a row by row deletion fails.
The test explicitly warned on existence of a bug in its 27th part.
The expected values of prepare and commit counters changed, corrected, by
fixes to bug#40221.
Notice, that binlog does not have to register for a statement with
the statement binlog-format because the statement rollback does not need
to do anything in that mode. It's not so with the ROW format which was
bug#40221 concern.
Fixed with correcting the expected values of the mentioned counters and
explained that with comments in the test.
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.
a SELECT doesn't cause ROLLBACK of statem".
The idea of the fix is to ensure that we always commit the current
statement at the end of dispatch_command(). In order to not issue
redundant disc syncs, an optimization of the two-phase commit
protocol is implemented to bypass the two phase commit if
the transaction is read-only.
