There was a race condition between ALTER TABLE and purge. If a table turns out to be logically empty when instant ALTER TABLE is executing, we will convert the table to the canonical format, to avoid overhead during subsequent accesses, and to allow the data file to be imported into older versions of MariaDB. It could happen that at the time the table is logically empty, there still exists an undo log record for updating the hidden metadata record for an earlier instant ALTER TABLE operation. If the table was converted to the canonical format before purge processes this undo log record, the undo log record could be referring to index fields that no longer exist, causing a crash. To prevent the race condition, we must delete the old undo log records. We do this lazily by assigning a new table ID, so that the table lookup for the old undo log records will fail. dict_table_t::reassign_id(): Reassign the table_id to effectively lazily delete old undo log records. innobase_instant_try(): Invoke index->table->reassign_id() before index->clear_instant_alter(). |

This directory contains test suites for the MariaDB server. To run currently existing test cases, execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. Some tests are known to fail on some platforms or be otherwise unreliable. The file "unstable-tests" contains the list of such tests along with a comment for every test. To exclude them from the test run, execute # ./mysql-test-run --skip-test-list=unstable-tests In general you do not have to have to do "make install", and you can have a co-existing MariaDB installation, the tests will not conflict with it. To run the tests in a source directory, you must do "make" first. In Red Hat distributions, you should run the script as user "mysql". The user is created with nologin shell, so the best bet is something like # su - # cd /usr/share/mysql-test # su -s /bin/bash mysql -c "./mysql-test-run --skip-test-list=unstable-tests" This will use the installed MariaDB executables, but will run a private copy of the server process (using data files within /usr/share/mysql-test), so you need not start the mysqld service beforehand. You can omit --skip-test-list option if you want to check whether the listed failures occur for you. To clean up afterwards, remove the created "var" subdirectory, e.g. # su -s /bin/bash - mysql -c "rm -rf /usr/share/mysql-test/var" If one or more tests fail on your system on reasons other than listed in lists of unstable tests, please read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the problem: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode, you are expected to provide names of the tests to run. For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests with an external server: # mysql-test-run --extern socket=/tmp/mysql.sock alias analyze To match your setup, you might need to provide other relevant options. With no test names on the command line, mysql-test-run will attempt to execute the default set of tests, which will certainly fail, because many tests cannot run with an external server (they need to control the options with which the server is started, restart the server during execution, etc.) You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test extension. For example: # xemacs t/test_case_name.test In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables, load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it. Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands in your test case, you should create the result file as follows: # mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or # mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test case consisting of SQL statements and comments, you can create the result file in one of the following ways: # mysql-test-run --record test_case_name # mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result # mysqltest --record --database test --result-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result . If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. If you want to submit your test case you can send it to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net or attach it to a bug report on http://mariadb.org/jira/. If the test case is really big or if it contains 'not public' data, then put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://ftp.askmonty.org/private and submit a report to http://mariadb.org/jira about it.
