Bug#17909656 - WRONG RESULTS FOR A SIMPLE QUERY WITH GROUP BY
Problem: If there is a predicate on a column referenced by MIN/MAX and that predicate is not present in all the disjunctions on keyparts earlier in the compound index, Loose Index Scan will not return correct result. Analysis: When loose index scan is chosen, range optimizer currently groups all the predicates that contain group parts separately and minmax parts separately. It therefore applies all the conditions on the group parts first to the fetched row. Then in the call to next_max, it processes the conditions which have min/max keypart. For ex in the following query: Select f1, max(f2) from t1 where (f1 = 10 and f2 = 13) or (f1 = 3) group by f1; Condition (f2 = 13) would be applied even for rows that satisfy (f1 = 3) thereby giving wrong results. Solution: Do not choose loose_index_scan for such cases. So a new rule WA2 is introduced to take care of the same. WA2: "If there are predicates on C, these predicates must be in conjuction to all predicates on all earlier keyparts in I." Todo the same, fix reuses the function get_constant_key_infix(). Since this funciton will fail for all multi-range conditions, it is re-written to recognize that if the sub-conditions are equivalent across the disjuncts: it will now succeed. And to achieve this a new helper function is introduced called all_same(). The fix also moves the test of NGA3 up to the former only caller, get_constant_key_infix().
