    Bug#18432495:RBR REPLICATION SLAVE CRASHES WHEN DELETE · f615a99d

    NON-EXISTS RECORDS
    
    Problem:
    ========
    In RBR replication, master deletes a record but the record
    don't exist on slave. when slave tries to apply the
    Delete_row_log_event from master, it will result in an
    assert on slave.
    
    Analysis:
    ========
    This problem exists not only with Delete_rows event but also
    with Update_rows event as well. Trying to update a non
    existing row on the slave from the master will cause the
    same assert.  This assert occurs only for the tables that
    doesn't have primary keys and which basically require
    sequential scan to be done to locate a record. This bug
    occurs only with innodb engine not with myisam.
    
    When update or delete rows is executed on a slave on a table
    which doesn't have primary key the updated record is stored
    in a buffer named table->record[0] and the same is copied to
    table->record[1] so that during sequential scan
    table->record[0] can reloaded with fetched data from the
    table and compared against table->record[1].  In a special
    case where there is no record on the slave side scan will
    result in EOF in that case we reinit the scan and we try to
    compare record[0]  with record[1] which are basically the
    same. This comparison is incorrect. Since they both are the
    same record_compare() will report that record is found and
    we try to go ahead and try to update/delete non existing
    row. Ideally if the scan results in EOF means no data found
    hence no need to do a record_compare() at all.
    
    Fix:
    ===
    Avoid comparision of records on EOF.
