This commit introduces two utility functions meant to make working with
vectors simpler.
Vec_ToText converts a binary vector into a json array of numbers
(floats).
Vec_FromText takes in a json array of numbers and converts it into a
little-endian IEEE float sequence of bytes (4 bytes per float).
This commit includes the work done in collaboration with Hugo Wen from
Amazon:
MDEV-33408 Alter HNSW graph storage and fix memory leak
This commit changes the way HNSW graph information is stored in the
second table. Instead of storing connections as separate records, it now
stores neighbors for each node, leading to significant performance
improvements and storage savings.
Comparing with the previous approach, the insert speed is 5 times faster,
search speed improves by 23%, and storage usage is reduced by 73%, based
on ann-benchmark tests with random-xs-20-euclidean and
random-s-100-euclidean datasets.
Additionally, in previous code, vector objects were not released after
use, resulting in excessive memory consumption (over 20GB for building
the index with 90,000 records), preventing tests with large datasets.
Now ensure that vectors are released appropriately during the insert and
search functions. Note there are still some vectors that need to be
cleaned up after search query completion. Needs to be addressed in a
future commit.

RAND() and UUID() are treated differently with respect to subquery
materialization both should be marked as uncacheable, forcing materialization.
Altered Create_func_uuid(_short)::create_builder().
Added comment in header about UNCACHEABLE_RAND meaning also unmergeable.
This patch also fixes:
MDEV-33050 Build-in schemas like oracle_schema are accent insensitive
MDEV-33084 LASTVAL(t1) and LASTVAL(T1) do not work well with lower-case-table-names=0
MDEV-33085 Tables T1 and t1 do not work well with ENGINE=CSV and lower-case-table-names=0

- Removing the virtual function strnncoll() from MY_COLLATION_HANDLER
- Adding a wrapper function CHARSET_INFO::streq(), to compare
two strings for equality. For now it calls strnncoll() internally.
In the future it will turn into a virtual function.
- Adding new accent sensitive case insensitive collations:
- utf8mb4_general1400_as_ci
- utf8mb3_general1400_as_ci
They implement accent sensitive case insensitive comparison.
The weight of a character is equal to the code point of its
upper case variant. These collations use Unicode-14.0.0 casefolding data.
The result of
my_charset_utf8mb3_general1400_as_ci.strcoll()
is very close to the former
my_charset_utf8mb3_general_ci.strcasecmp()
There is only a difference in a couple dozen rare characters, because:
- the switch from "tolower" to "toupper" comparison, to make
utf8mb3_general1400_as_ci closer to utf8mb3_general_ci
- the switch from Unicode-3.0.0 to Unicode-14.0.0
This difference should be tolarable. See the list of affected
characters in the MDEV description.
Note, utf8mb4_general1400_as_ci correctly handles non-BMP characters!
Unlike utf8mb4_general_ci, it does not treat all BMP characters
as equal.
- Adding classes representing names of the file based database objects:
Lex_ident_db
Lex_ident_table
Lex_ident_trigger
Their comparison collation depends on the underlying
file system case sensitivity and on --lower-case-table-names
and can be either my_charset_bin or my_charset_utf8mb3_general1400_as_ci.
- Adding classes representing names of other database objects,
whose names have case insensitive comparison style,
using my_charset_utf8mb3_general1400_as_ci:
Lex_ident_column
Lex_ident_sys_var
Lex_ident_user_var
Lex_ident_sp_var
Lex_ident_ps
Lex_ident_i_s_table
Lex_ident_window
Lex_ident_func
Lex_ident_partition
Lex_ident_with_element
Lex_ident_rpl_filter
Lex_ident_master_info
Lex_ident_host
Lex_ident_locale
Lex_ident_plugin
Lex_ident_engine
Lex_ident_server
Lex_ident_savepoint
Lex_ident_charset
engine_option_value::Name
- All the mentioned Lex_ident_xxx classes implement a method streq():
if (ident1.streq(ident2))
do_equal();
This method works as a wrapper for CHARSET_INFO::streq().
- Changing a lot of "LEX_CSTRING name" to "Lex_ident_xxx name"
in class members and in function/method parameters.
- Replacing all calls like
system_charset_info->coll->strcasecmp(ident1, ident2)
to
ident1.streq(ident2)
- Taking advantage of the c++11 user defined literal operator
for LEX_CSTRING (see m_strings.h) and Lex_ident_xxx (see lex_ident.h)
data types. Use example:
const Lex_ident_column primary_key_name= "PRIMARY"_Lex_ident_column;
is now a shorter version of:
const Lex_ident_column primary_key_name=
Lex_ident_column({STRING_WITH_LEN("PRIMARY")});
Under terms of MDEV 27490 we'll add support for non-BMP identifiers
and upgrade casefolding information to Unicode version 14.0.0.
In Unicode-14.0.0 conversion to lower and upper cases can increase octet length
of the string, so conversion won't be possible in-place any more.
This patch removes virtual functions performing in-place casefolding:
- my_charset_handler_st::casedn_str()
- my_charset_handler_st::caseup_str()
and fixes the code to use the non-inplace functions instead:
- my_charset_handler_st::casedn()
- my_charset_handler_st::caseup()
Turning REGEXP_REPLACE into two schema-qualified functions:
- mariadb_schema.regexp_replace()
- oracle_schema.regexp_replace()
Fixing oracle_schema.regexp_replace(subj,pattern,replacement) to treat
NULL in "replacement" as an empty string.
Adding new classes implementing oracle_schema.regexp_replace():
- Item_func_regexp_replace_oracle
- Create_func_regexp_replace_oracle
Adding helper methods:
- String *Item::val_str_null_to_empty(String *to)
- String *Item::val_str_null_to_empty(String *to, bool null_to_empty)
and reusing these methods in both Item_func_replace and
Item_func_regexp_replace.
The IDENT_sys doesn't include keywords, so the function with the
keyword name can be created, but cannot be called.
Moving keywords to new rules keyword_func_sp_var_and_label and
keyword_func_sp_var_not_label so the functions with these
names are allowed.
