During a server restart that follows a server crash, there may be error messages that indicate that certain system tables are marked as crashed and may be corrupted. Upon checking the system tables that are marked as crashed, it may be found that there is no corruption that needs repair. However, the error messages that are issued imply that the user needs to nevertheless manually repair the system tables that were marked as crashed. These issues have been moved to a separate bug MDEV-17068. MDEV-16250 addresses the work to make the Spider system tables crash safe. This work involves the following changes in 10.4: - Changes to the install_spider.sql script to change the storage engine for the Spider system tables to Aria. This is implemented in such a way as to allow the script to be run repeatedly without any harm or errors. - Changes to the init_spider.inc script that is run during initialization of every test in the Spider test suites. This script now uses the Aria storage engine for the Spider system tables in MariaDB Server 10.4 and later releases. - Added a test to the Spider test suite to display the storage engine of each Spider system table, to verify that the correct storage engine is used.
