problem was that ha_partition::records was not implemented, thus
using the default handler::records, which is not correct if the engine
does not support HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT.
Solution was to implement ha_partition::records as a wrapper around
the underlying partitions records.
The rows column in explain partitions will now include the total
number of records in the partitioned table.
(recommit after removing out-commented code)
Problem was for LINEAR HASH/KEY. Crashes because of wrong partition id
returned when creating the new altered partitions. (because of wrong
linear hash mask)
Solution: Update the linear hash mask before using it for the new
altered table.
partitioned table
Post-pushbuild fix
Pushbuild detected a new need for lex initialization in
embedded server.
Fixed test for INSERT DELAYED in partitions_hash.test so that
it works with embedded server.
partitioned table
Trying INSERT DELAYED on a partitioned table, that has not been
used right before, crashes the server. When a table is used for
select or update, it is kept open for some time. This period I
mean with "right before".
Information about partitioning of a table is stored in form of
a string in the .frm file. Parsing of this string requires a
correctly set up lexical analyzer (lex). The partitioning code
uses a new temporary instance of a lex. But it does still refer
to the previously active lex. The delayd insert thread does not
initialize its lex though...
Added initialization for thd->lex before open table in the delayed
thread and at all other places where it is necessary to call
lex_start() if all tables would be partitioned and need to parse
the .frm file.
