Bug#31609 Not all RBR slave errors reported as errors
bug#32468 delete rows event on a table with foreign key constraint fails
The first two bugs comprise idempotency issues.
First, there was no error code reported under conditions of the bug
description although the slave sql thread halted.
Second, executions were different with and without presence of prim key in
the table.
Third, there was no way to instruct the slave whether to ignore an error
and skip to the following event or to halt.
Fourth, there are handler errors which might happen due to idempotent
applying of binlog but those were not listed among the "idempotent" error
list.
All the named issues are addressed.
Wrt to the 3rd, there is the new global system variable, changeble at run
time, which controls the slave sql thread behaviour.
The new variable allows further extensions to mimic the sql_mode
session/global variable.
To address the 4th, the new bug#32468 had to be fixed as it was staying
in the way.
Fixing tests and results to work when replicating to fewer columns on
slave than on master. One test that previously should fail, now works,
and some log positions have changed as a result of adding metadata to
the events.
This patch adds the ability to store extra field metadata in the table
map event. This data can include pack_length() or field_lenght() for
fields such as CHAR or VARCHAR enabling developers to add code that
can check for compatibilty between master and slave columns. More
importantly, the extra field metadata can be used to store data from the
master correctly should a VARCHAR field on the master be <= 255 bytes
while the same field on the slave is > 255 bytes.
The patch also includes the needed changes to unpack to ensure that data
which is smaller on the master can be unpacked correctly on the slave.
WL#3915 : (NDB) master's cols > slave
Slave starts accepting and handling rows of master's tables which have more columns.
The most important part of implementation is how to caclulate the amount of bytes to
skip for unknown by slave column.
