In some rare cases when the value of the system variable join_buffer_size
was set to a number less than 256 the function JOIN_CACHE::set_constants
determined the size of an offset in the join buffer equal to 1 though
the minimal join buffer required more than 256 bytes. This could cause
a crash of the server when records from the join buffer were read.
The optimizer chose a less efficient execution plan due to the following
defects of the code:
1. the generic handler function handler::keyread_time did not take into account
that in clustered primary keys record data is included into each index entry
2. the function make_join_readinfo erroneously decided that index only scan
could not be used if join cache was empoyed.
Added no additional test case.
Adjusted some of the test results.
- When doing join optimization, pre-sort the tables so that they mimic the execution
order we've had with 'semijoin=off'.
- That way, we will not get regressions when there are two query plans (the old and the
new) that have indentical costs but different execution times (because of factors that
the optimizer was not able to take into account).
This bug in the function JOIN::drop_unused_derived_keys() could
leave the internal structures for a materialized derived table
in an inconsistent state. This led to a not quite correct EXPLAIN
output when no additional key had been created to access the table.
It also may lead to more serious consequences: so, the test case
added with this fix caused a crash in mariadb-5.5.20.
If the flag 'optimize_join_buffer_size' is set to 'off' and the value
of the system variable 'join_buffer_size' is greater than the value of
the system variable 'join_buffer_space_limit' than no join cache can
be employed to join tables of the executed query.
A bug in the function JOIN_CACHE::alloc_buffer allowed to use join
buffer even in this case while another bug in the function
revise_cache_usage could cause a crash of the server in this case if the
chosen execution plan for the query contained outer join or semi-join
operation.
of mysql-5.6 code line. The bugs could not be reproduced in the latest release
of mariadb-5.3 as they were fixed either when the code of subquery optimization
was back-ported from mysql-6.0 or later when some other bugs were fixed.
fixed several defects in the greedy optimization:
1) The greedy optimizer calculated the 'compare-cost' (CPU-cost)
for iterating over the partial plan result at each level in
the query plan as 'record_count / (double) TIME_FOR_COMPARE'
This cost was only used locally for 'best' calculation at each
level, and *not* accumulated into the total cost for the query plan.
This fix added the 'CPU-cost' of processing 'current_record_count'
records at each level to 'current_read_time' *before* it is used as
'accumulated cost' argument to recursive
best_extension_by_limited_search() calls. This ensured that the
cost of a huge join-fanout early in the QEP was correctly
reflected in the cost of the final QEP.
To get identical cost for a 'best' optimized query and a
straight_join with the same join order, the same change was also
applied to optimize_straight_join() and get_partial_join_cost()
2) Furthermore to get equal cost for 'best' optimized query and a
straight_join the new code substrcated the same '0.001' in
optimize_straight_join() as it had been already done in
best_extension_by_limited_search()
3) When best_extension_by_limited_search() aggregated the 'best' plan a
plan was 'best' by the check :
'if ((search_depth == 1) || (current_read_time < join->best_read))'
The term '(search_depth == 1' incorrectly caused a new best plan to be
collected whenever the specified 'search_depth' was reached - even if
this partial query plan was more expensive than what we had already
found.
If the duplicate elimination strategy is used for a semi-join and potentially
one of the block-based join algorithms can be employed to join the inner
tables of the semi-join then sorting of the head (first non-constant) table
for a query with ORDER BY / GROUP BY cannot be used.
The execution plan cannot use sorting on the first table from the
sequence of the joined tables if it plans to employ the block-based
hash join algorithm.
KEYUSE elements for a possible hash join key are not sorted by field
numbers of the second table T of the hash join operation. Besides
some of these KEYUSE elements cannot be used to build any key as their
key expressions depend on the tables that are planned to be accessed
after the table T.
The code before the patch did not take this into account and, as a result,
execition of a query the employing block-based hash join algorithm could
cause a crash or return a wrong result set.
The function setup_semijoin_dups_elimination erroneously assumed
that if join_cache_level is set to 3 or 4 then the type of the
access to a table cannot be JT_REF or JT_EQ_REF. This could lead
to wrong query result sets.
The bug happened because in some cases the function JOIN::exec
did not save the value of TABLE::pre_idx_push_select_cond in
TABLE::select->pre_idx_push_select_cond for the sort table.
Noticed and fixed a bug in the function make_cond_remainder
that builds the remainder condition after extraction of an index
pushdown condition from the where condition. The code
erroneously assumed that the function make_cond_for_table left
the value of ICP_COND_USES_INDEX_ONLY in sub-condition markers.
Adjusted many result files from the regression test suite

in order not to allow the cost to access a joined table to be equal

Expanded data sets for many test cases to get the same execution plans
as before.
The bug was caused by an incorrect code of the function
Item_direct_view_ref::replace_equal_field introduced in the
patch for bugs 717577, 724942. The function erroneously
returned the wrapped field instead of the Item_direct_view_ref
object itself in the cases when no replacement happened.
The bug masked two other minor bugs that could result in not
quite correct output of the EXPLAIN command for some queries.
They were fixed in the patch as well.
- Set the default
- Adjust the testcases so that 'new' tests are run with optimizations turned on.
- Pull out relevant tests from "irrelevant" tests and run them with optimizations on.
- Run range.test and innodb.test with both mrr=on and mrr=off
semijoin=on,firstmatch=on,loosescan=on
to
semijoin=off,firstmatch=off,loosescan=off
Adjust the testcases:
- Modify subselect*.test and join_cache.test so that all tests
use the same execution paths as before (i.e. optimizations that
are being tested are enabled)
- Let all other test files run with the new default settings (i.e.
with new optimizations disabled)
- Copy subquery testcases from these files into t/subselect_extra.test
which will run them with new optimizations enabled.
This crashing bug could manifest itself at execution of join queries
over materialized derived tables with IN subquery predicates in the
where clause. If for such a query the optimizer chose to use duplicate
weed-out with duplicates in a materialized derived table and chose to
employ join cache the the execution could cause a crash of the server.
It happened because the JOIN_CACHE::init method assumed that the value
of TABLE::file::ref is set at the moment when the method was called
for the employed join cache. It's true for regular tables, but it's
not true for materialized derived tables that are filled now at the
first access to them, i.e. after the JOIN_CACHE::init has done its job.
To fix this problem for any ROWID field of materialized derived table
the procedure that copies fields from record buffers into the employed
join buffer first checks whether the value of TABLE::file::ref has
been set for the table, and if it's not so the procedure sets this value.
A lot of small fixes and new test cases.

- "Using MRR" is no longer shown with range access.
- Instead, both range and BKA accesses will show one of the following:
= "Rowid-ordered scan"
= "Key-ordered scan"
= "Key-ordered Rowid-ordered scan"
depending on whether DS-MRR implementation will do scan keys in order, rowids in order,
or both.
- The patch also introduces a way for other storage engines/MRR implementations to
pass information to EXPLAIN output about the properties of employed MRR scans.
The bug in the function print_keyuse() caused crashes if
hash join could be used. It happened because the function
ignored the fact that KEYUSE structures could be created
for hash joins as well.
