    MDEV-16328 ALTER TABLE…page_compression_level should not rebuild table · ac24289e
    Marko Mäkelä authored
    The table option page_compression_level is something that only
    affects future writes, not actually the data format. Therefore,
    we can allow instant changes of this option.
    
    Similarly, the table option page_compressed can be set on a
    previously uncompressed table without rebuilding the table,
    because an uncompressed page would be considered valid when
    reading a page_compressed table.
    
    Removing the page_compressed option will continue to require
    the table to be rebuilt.
    
    ha_innobase_inplace_ctx::page_compression_level: The requested
    page_compression_level at the start of ALTER TABLE, or 0 if
    page_compressed=OFF.
    
    alter_options_need_rebuild(): Renamed from
    create_option_need_rebuild(). Allow page_compression_level and
    page_compressed to be changed as above, without rebuilding the table.
    
    ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Allow ALGORITHM=INSTANT
    for ALTER_OPTIONS if the table is not to be rebuilt. If rebuild is
    needed, set ha_alter_info->unsupported_reason.
    
    innobase_page_compression_try(): Update SYS_TABLES.TYPE according
    to the table flags, for an instant change of page_compression_level
    or page_compressed.
    
    commit_cache_norebuild(): Adjust dict_table_t::flags, fil_space_t::flags
    and (if needed) FSP_SPACE_FLAGS if page_compression_level was specified.
