COMMUNICATION PACKETS; FEDERATED TABLE
Description:- Execution of FLUSH TABLES on a federated
table which has been idle for wait_timeout (on the remote
server) + tcp_keepalive_time, fails with an error,
"ERROR 1160 (08S01): Got an error writing communication
packets."
Analysis:- During FLUSH TABLE execution the federated
table is closed which will inturn close the federated
connection. While closing the connection, federated server
tries to communincate with the remote server. Since the
connection was idle for wait_timeout(on the remote server)+
tcp_keepalive_time, the socket gets closed. So this
communication fails because of broken pipe and the error is
thrown. But federated connections are expected to reconnect
silently. And also it cannot reconnect because the
"auto_reconnect" variable is set to 0 in "mysql_close()".
Fix:- Before closing the federated connection, in
"ha_federated_close()", a check is added which will verify
wheather the connection is alive or not. If the connection
is not alive, then "mysql->net.error" is set to 2 which
will indicate that the connetion is broken. Also the
setting of "auto_reconnect" variable to 0 is delayed and is
done after "COM_QUIT" command.
NOTE:- For reproducing this issue, "tcp_keepalive_time" has
to be set to a smaller value. This value is set in the
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time" file in Unix
systems. So we need root permission for changing it, which
can't be done through mtr test. So submitting the patch
without mtr test.
