V Narayanan e80537b791 Bug#40675 MySQL 5.1 crash with index merge algorithm and Merge tables
A Query in the MyISAM merge table was crashing 
if the index merge algorithm was being used

Index Merge optimization requires the reading of 
multiple indexes at the same time. Reading multiple 
indexes at once with current SE API means that we 
need to have handler instance for each to-be-read 
index. This is done by creating clones of the handlers 
instances. The clone internally does a open of the handler.

The open for a MERGE engine is handled in the following 
phases

1) open parent table
2) generate list of underlying
   table
3) attach underlying tables

But the current implementation does only the first 
phase (i.e.) open parent table.

The current patch fixes this at the MERGE engine level, 
by handling the clone operation within the MERGE engine 
rather than in the storage engine API. It opens and 
attaches the MyISAM tables on the MyISAM storage engine 
interface directly within the MERGE engine. The new MyISAM 
table instances, as well as the MERGE clone itself, are not 
visible in the table cache. This is not a problem because
all locking is handled by the original MERGE table from which
this is cloned of.

mysql-test/r/merge.result:
  updated the result file to reflect the new tests
  added to test the fix
mysql-test/t/merge.test:
  Added new tests to verify that the index merge
  algorithm does not crash in the merge engine.
storage/myisammrg/ha_myisammrg.cc:
  Implement the clone method, that handles
  
  1) Cloning the handler
  2) Opening underlying MYISAM child tables
  3) Copies the state of the original handler and the children
     into the cloned instances
  4) Sets the appropriate flags
storage/myisammrg/ha_myisammrg.h:
  Added a flag that is set to indicate that the current 
  instance is cloned. Also added the prototype or the clone 
  method.
storage/myisammrg/myrg_open.c:
  Since we do now again use myrg_open() in the server
  removed the comments marking this as deadcode.

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
