- Major rewrite of ddl_log.cc and ddl_log.h
- ddl_log.cc described in the beginning how the recovery works.
- ddl_log.log has unique signature and is dynamic. It's easy to
add more information to the header and other ddl blocks while still
being able to execute old ddl entries.
- IO_SIZE for ddl blocks is now dynamic. Can be changed without affecting
recovery of old logs.
- Code is more modular and is now usable outside of partition handling.
- Renamed log file to dll_recovery.log and added option --log-ddl-recovery
to allow one to specify the path & filename.
- Added ddl_log_entry_phase[], number of phases for each DDL action,
which allowed me to greatly simply set_global_from_ddl_log_entry()
- Changed how strings are stored in log entries, which allows us to
store much more information in a log entry.
- ddl log is now always created at start and deleted on normal shutdown.
This simplices things notable.
- Added probes debug_crash_here() and debug_simulate_error() to simply
crash testing and allow crash after a given number of times a probe
is executed. See comments in debug_sync.cc and rename_table.test for
how this can be used.
- Reverting failed table and view renames is done trough the ddl log.
This ensures that the ddl log is tested also outside of recovery.
- Added helper function 'handler::needs_lower_case_filenames()'
- Extend binary log with Q_XID events. ddl log handling is using this
to check if a ddl log entry was logged to the binary log (if yes,
it will be deleted from the log during ddl_log_close_binlogged_events()
- If a DDL entry fails 3 time, disable it. This is to ensure that if
we have a crash in ddl recovery code the server will not get stuck
in a forever crash-restart-crash loop.
mysqltest.cc changes:
- --die will now replace $variables with their values
- $error will contain the error of the last failed statement
storage engine changes:
- maria_rename() was changed to be more robust against crashes during
rename.
(This commit is for 10.3 and upper branches)
In case of a pattern of non-STMT_END-marked Rows-log-event (A) followed by
a STMT_END marked one (B) mysqlbinlog mixes up the base64 encoded rows events
with their pseudo sql representation produced by the verbose option:
BINLOG '
base64 encoded data for A
### verbose section for A
base64 encoded data for B
### verbose section for B
'/*!*/;
In effect the produced BINLOG '...' query is not valid and is rejected with the error.
Examples of this way malformed BINLOG could have been found in binlog_row_annotate.result
that gets corrected with the patch.
The issue is fixed with introduction an auxiliary IO_CACHE to hold on the verbose
comments until the terminal STMT_END event is found. The new cache is emptied
out after two pre-existing ones are done at that time.
The correctly produced output now for the above case is as the following:
BINLOG '
base64 encoded data for A
base64 encoded data for B
'/*!*/;
### verbose section for A
### verbose section for B
Thanks to Alexey Midenkov for the problem recognition and attempt to tackle,
and to Venkatesh Duggirala who produced a patch for the upstream whose
idea is exploited here, as well as to MDEV-23077 reporter LukeXwang who
also contributed a piece of a patch aiming at this issue.
