Alfranio Correia ac1b464a33 BUG#43929 binlog corruption when max_binlog_cache_size is exceeded
Large transactions and statements may corrupt the binary log if the size of the
cache, which is set by the max_binlog_cache_size, is not enough to store the
the changes.

In a nutshell, to fix the bug, we save the position of the next character in the
cache before starting processing a statement. If there is a problem, we simply
restore the position thus removing any effect of the statement from the cache.
Unfortunately, to avoid corrupting the binary log, we may end up loosing changes
on non-transactional tables if they do not fit in the cache. In such cases, we
store an Incident_log_event in order to stop the slave and alert users that some
changes were not logged.

Precisely, for every non-transactional changes that do not fit into the cache,
we do the following:
  a) the statement is *not* logged
  b) an incident event is logged after committing/rolling back the transaction,
  if any. Note that if a failure happens before writing the incident event to
  the binary log, the slave will not stop and the master will not have reported
  any error.
  c) its respective statement gives an error

For transactional changes that do not fit into the cache, we do the following:
  a) the statement is *not* logged
  b) its respective statement gives an error

To work properly, this patch requires two additional things. Firstly, callers to
MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write and THD::binlog_query must handle any error returned and
take the appropriate actions such as undoing the effects of a statement. We
already changed some calls in the sql_insert.cc, sql_update.cc and sql_insert.cc
modules but the remaining calls spread all over the code should be handled in
BUG#37148. Secondly, statements must be either classified as DDL or DML because
DDLs that do not get into the cache must generate an incident event since they
cannot be rolled back.

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run
the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in
this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it.

Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could
actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not
conflict with it.

All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please
read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the
problem:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html

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,
the test suite expects you to provide the 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 alias analyze

To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and
other relevant options.

With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back
to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some
tests cannot run with an external server.


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.

 We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not
 conflict too much with existing tables).

 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 (like result file names) 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 cases consisting of SQL statements and
 comments, you can create the test case 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 --record-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.

To submit your test case, 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://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail
to bugs@lists.mysql.com
