Fixed bug lp:809245
In addition to the bug fix explained below, the patch performs few renames, and adds some comments to avoid similar problems. Analysis: The failed assert was due to a bug in MWL#68, where it was incorrectly assumed that the size of the bitmap subselect_rowid_merge_engine::null_only_columns should be the same as the size of the array of Ordered_keys. The bitmap null_only_columns contains bits to mark columns that contain only NULLs. Therefore the indexes of the bits to be set in null_only_columns are different from the indexes of the Ordered_keys. If there is a NULL-only column that appears in a table after the last partial match column with Ordered_key, this NULL-only column would require setting a bit with index bigger than the size of the bitmap null_only_columns. Accessing such a bit caused the failed assert. Solution: Upon analysis, it turns out that null_only_columns is not needed at all, because we are looking for partial matches, and having such columns guarantees that there is a partial match for any corresponding outer value. Therefore the patch removes subselect_rowid_merge_engine::null_only_columns.
