The special flag REC_INFO_MIN_REC_FLAG used to be only set on the first record in the leftmost node pointer page of each level of the tree. It was never set on leaf pages. MDEV-11369 Instant ADD COLUMN in MariaDB Server 10.3 repurposed the flag to identify a hidden metadata record, which is stored in the first record on the leftmost leaf page. If the adaptive hash index points to records in the leftmost leaf page after instant ALTER TABLE, we would have such a metadata record in the table, an assertion could fail when trying to validate the index record. In a release build, we might wrongly qualify the hidden metadata record and thus return garbage results. cmp_dtuple_rec_with_match_bytes(): If the REC_INFO_MIN_REC_FLAG is set on the record, assert that this is the first record on the leftmost page and that the record is a metadata record, and finally return 1, because by definition, anything is greater than the minimum record.
