Non-transactional updates that take place inside a transaction present problems
for logging because they are visible to other clients before the transaction
is committed, and they are not rolled back even if the transaction is rolled
back. It is not always possible to log correctly in statement format when both
transactional and non-transactional tables are used in the same transaction.
In the current patch, we ensure that such scenario is completely safe under the
ROW and MIXED modes.
Remove size of binlog file from SHOW BINARY LOGS.
Changing size of binlog file is an affect of adding or removing events to/from
binlog and it can be checked in next command of test: SHOW BINLOG EVENTS.
For SHOW BINARY LOGS statement enough to show the list of file names.
Problem 1: tests often fail in pushbuild with a timeout when waiting
for the slave to start/stop/receive error.
Fix 1: Updated the wait_for_slave_* macros in the following way:
- The timeout is increased by a factor ten
- Refactored the macros so that wait_for_slave_param does the work for
the other macros.
Problem 2: Tests are often incorrectly written, lacking a
source include/wait_for_slave_to_[start|stop].inc.
Fix 2: Improved the chance to get it right by adding
include/start_slave.inc and include/stop_slave.inc, and updated tests
to use these.
Problem 3: The the built-in test language command
wait_for_slave_to_stop is a misnomer (does not wait for the slave io
thread) and does not give as much debug info in case of failure as
the otherwise equivalent macro
source include/wait_for_slave_sql_to_stop.inc
Fix 3: Replaced all calls to the built-in command by a call to the
macro.
Problem 4: Some, but not all, of the wait_for_slave_* macros had an
implicit connection slave. This made some tests confusing to read,
and made it more difficult to use the macro in circular replication
scenarios, where the connection named master needs to wait.
Fix 4: Removed the implicit connection slave from all
wait_for_slave_* macros, and updated tests to use an explicit
connection slave where necessary.
Problem 5: The macros wait_slave_status.inc and wait_show_pattern.inc
were unused. Moreover, using them is difficult and error-prone.
Fix 5: remove these macros.
Problem 6: log_bin_trust_function_creators_basic failed when running
tests because it assumed @@global.log_bin_trust_function_creators=1,
and some tests modified this variable without resetting it to its
original value.
Fix 6: All tests that use this variable have been updated so that
they reset the value at end of test.
The bug allow multiple executing transactions working with non-transactional
to interfere with each others by interleaving the events of different trans-
actions.
Bug is fixed by writing non-transactional events to the transaction cache and
flushing the cache to the binary log at statement commit. To mimic the behavior
of normal statement-based replication, we flush the transaction cache in row-
based mode when there is no committed statements in the transaction cache,
which means we are committing the first one. This means that it will be written
to the binary log as a "mini-transaction" with just the rows for the statement.
Note that the changes here does not take effect when building the server with
HAVE_TRANSACTIONS set to false, but it is not clear if this was possible before
this patch either.
For row-based logging, we also have that when AUTOCOMMIT=1, the code now always
generates a BEGIN/COMMIT pair for single statements, or BEGIN/ROLLBACK pair in the
case of non-transactional changes in a statement that was rolled back. Note that
for the case where changes to a non-transactional table causes a rollback due
to error, the statement will now be logged with a BEGIN/ROLLBACK pair, even
though some changes has been committed to the non-transactional table.
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.
