When using binlog_row_image=FULL with sequence table inserts, a
replica can deadlock because it treats full inserts in a sequence as DDL
statements by getting an exclusive lock on the sequence table. It
has been observed that with parallel replication, this exclusive
lock on the sequence table can lead to a deadlock where one
transaction has the exclusive lock and is waiting on a prior
transaction to commit, whereas this prior transaction is waiting on
the MDL lock.
This fix for this is on the master side, to raise FL_DDL
flag on the GTID of a full binlog_row_image write of a sequence table.
This forces the slave to execute the statement serially so a deadlock
cannot happen.
A test verifies the deadlock also to prove it happen on the OLD (pre-fixes)
slave.
OLD (buggy master) -replication-> NEW (fixed slave) is provided.
As the pre-fixes master's full row-image may represent both
SELECT NEXT VALUE and INSERT, the parallel slave pessimistically
waits for the prior transaction to have committed before to take on the
critical part of the second (like INSERT in the test) event execution.
The waiting exploits a parallel slave's retry mechanism which is
controlled by `@@global.slave_transaction_retries`.
Note that in order to avoid any persistent 'Deadlock found' 2013 error
in OLD -> NEW, `slave_transaction_retries` may need to be set to a
higher than the default value.
START-SLAVE is an effective work-around if this still happens.
The previous patch 269da4bf19 was
actually for MDEV-8894 (not for MDEV-5377). It was erroneously
pushed with a wrong title.
This patch is a small cleanup for MDEV-8894.
CREATE TABLE is now not a part of binary logs recorded with MySQL,
only INSERT statements are. This will allow to reuse the same binary
logs in combinations with different CREATE TABLE statements,
to tests different data types.
