I extended the task to cleaning error messages, making them look nicer,
and making the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS (column Last_error) be as complete
as what's printed on the .err file;
previously we would have, for a failure of a replicated LOAD DATA INFILE:
- in the .err, 2 lines:
"duplicate entry 2708 for key 1"
"failed loading SQL_LOAD-5-2-2.info"
- and in SHOW SLAVE STATUS, only:
"failed loading SQL_LOAD-5-2-2.info".
Now SHOW SLAVE STATUS will contain the concatenation of the 2 messages.
a node name was changed in manual.texi which resulted in a very large
ReadMe.txt file, as the generating script could not find the (renamed)
ending node. Fixed the ending node name in Docs/Makefile.am and the
Docs/Support/generate-text-files.pl Perl script to make sure this does
not happen again (I only discovered this because the Do-pkg script was
not able to add the ReadMe.txt to the Apple Disk image because it ran out
of disk space due to the size of the file)
Revert the previous patch: MySQL would not allow creation of VARCHAR columns whose total max length is > 8000 bytes, though InnoDB can easily store them as trailing spaces are removed
Fix wrong error message: If one tried to create table with a very big row len, MySQL claimed the max len is 64 kB for InnoDB, while it normally is 8000 bytes
Monty revoked any locks for temporary tables in
ha_myisam::external_lock()
But further code bans using write cache on nonlocked tables
this makes operations much slower
Put back a 50 millisecond sleep in too high concurrency situations which I removed in the previous push; count also such sleeping threads to the InnoDB queue in SHOW INNODB STATUS
Fix a benign bug introduced in 4.0.14: InnoDB could complain 'Error: trying to declare trx to enter InnoDB' if several threads tried to init the auto-inc counter for the same table at the same time; in theory, the bug could even lead to a hang of the server, but that shuld be extremely improbable
port number can be different from 3306 when doing the release builds
with Do-compile, therefore it has to be replaced with the correct
value during the test run using the "--replace_result" function.
ChangeSet was not sufficient to get the full ChangeLog between two
released versions (when using "--changelog=last") as merging between
trees also merges the BK tags. Now we explicitely search for the last
tagged ChangeSet that matches our major+minor version number, which
should match the last ChangeSet used for the previous release.
