branches/zip: Fix a critical bug in fast index creation that could
corrupt the created indexes. row_merge(): Make "half" an in/out parameter. Determine the offset of half the output file. Copy the last blocks record-by-record instead of block-by-block, so that the records can be counted. Check that the input and output have matching n_rec. row_merge_sort(): Do not assume that two blocks of size N are merged into a block of size 2*N. The output block can be shorter than the input if the last page of each input block is almost empty. Use an accurate termination condition, based on the "half" computed by row_merge(). row_merge_read(), row_merge_write(), row_merge_blocks(): Add debug output. merge_file_t, row_merge_file_create(): Add n_rec, the number of records in the merge file. row_merge_read_clustered_index(): Update n_rec. row_merge_blocks(): Update and check n_rec. row_merge_blocks_copy(): New function, for copying the last blocks in row_merge(). Update and check n_rec. This bug was discovered with a user-supplied test case that creates an index where the initial temporary file is 249 one-megabyte blocks and the merged files become smaller. In the test, possible merge record sizes are 10, 18, and 26 bytes. rb://150 approved by Sunny Bains. This addresses Issue #320.
