MDEV-21669 InnoDB: Table ... contains <n> indexes inside InnoDB, which is different from the number of indexes <n> defined in the MariaDB compare_keys_but_name(): do not use KEY_PART_INFO::field for Field::is_equal(). Following the logic of that code we need to compare fields of a table. But KEY_PART_INFO::field sometimes (when key part is shorter than table field) is a different field. In that case Field::is_equal() returns incorrect result and problems occur. KEY_PART_INFO::field may become some strange field in open_frm_error open_table_from_share(). I think this is an incorrect logic, some tecnhical debt. I'm not fixing it right now, because I don't have time. But I'm making Field::field_length a const class member. Then, the only fishy code which changed that field requires now a const_cast<>. I'm bringing attention to that code with it. This change should not affect logic of the program in any way.
