replicating

Fixes to make mysqlbinlog work correctly and updates
to rpl_ndb result files.

Fixes to get it to compile on MacOSX.

Fixing error codes that changed after merge.

           for InnoDB

The class Field_bit_as_char stores the metadata for the
field incorrecly because bytes_in_rec and bit_len are set
to (field_length + 7 ) / 8 and 0 respectively, while
Field_bit has the correct values field_length / 8 and
field_length % 8.

Solved the problem by re-computing the values for the
metadata based on the field_length instead of using the
bytes_in_rec and bit_len variables.

To handle compatibility with old server, a table map
flag was added to indicate that the bit computation is
exact. If the flag is clear, the slave computes the
number of bytes required to store the bit field and
compares that instead, effectively allowing replication
*without conversion* from any field length that require
the same number of bytes to store.

Fixing minor error when printing SQL types from master and cleaning some code.

Updating result files.

Row-based replication requires the types of columns on the
master and slave to be approximately the same (some safe
conversions between strings are allowed), but does not
allow safe conversions between fields of similar types such
as TINYINT and INT.

This patch implement type conversions between similar fields
on the master and slave.

The conversions are controlled using a new variable
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS of type SET('ALL_LOSSY','ALL_NON_LOSSY').

Non-lossy conversions are any conversions that do not run the
risk of losing any information, while lossy conversions can
potentially truncate the value. The column definitions are
checked to decide if the conversion is acceptable.

If neither conversion is enabled, it is required that the
definitions of the columns are identical on master and slave.

Conversion is done by creating an internal conversion table,
unpacking the master data into it, and then copy the data to
the real table on the slave.

Support for flushing individual logs, so that the user can
selectively flush a subset of the server logs.

Flush of individual logs is done according to the 
following syntax:

  FLUSH <log_category> LOGS;

The syntax is extended so that the user is able to flush a
subset of logs:

  FLUSH [log_category LOGS,];

where log_category is one of:
  SLOW
  ERROR
  BINARY
  ENGINE
  GENERAL
  RELAY.

merging from 5.1 to rep+2 starting at gca(5.1, next-mr) == build@mysql.com-20091104182209-iui387z35159aoyw

NOTE: backporting BUG#42150 into next-mr
      Includes latest Andrei's patch (see [2 Feb 18:40] Bugs System)
      and merge.test post-push fix (see [3 Feb 18:04] Bugs System)

The reason of the bug appeared to be overreacting on absense of a
binlog file although the file name had been presented in in the master
binlog index file.
By convention, there should have been only a warning printed and the rest of
`reset master' logics completed.  This did not happen on windows
due to incorrect value of my_errno returned from nt_share_delete().
      
Fixed with correcting my_errno assignment in nt_share_delete() to be ENOENT in 
he event of no binlog file. Some minor refactoring has been made.

beyond unsigned long.
BUG#44779: binlog.binlog_max_extension may be causing failure on 
next test in PB
            
NOTE1: this is the backport to next-mr.
NOTE2: already includes patch for BUG#44779.
            
Binlog file extensions would turn into negative numbers once the
variable used to hold the value reached maximum for signed
long. Consequently, incrementing value to the next (negative) number
would lead to .000000 extension, causing the server to fail.
                        
This patch addresses this issue by not allowing negative extensions
and by returning an error on find_uniq_filename, when the limit is
reached. Additionally, warnings are printed to the error log when the
limit is approaching. FLUSH LOGS will also report warnings to the
user, if the extension number has reached the limit. The limit has been
set to 0x7FFFFFFF as the maximum.

The mentioned on the bug report set of bugs fixes have not be pushed to the main trees.

Fixed with extracting commits done to 6.0-rpl tree and applying them to the main 5.1.
Notes.
1. part of changes - the mtr's specific - were packported to the main 5.0 tree for mtr v1
   as http://lists.mysql.com/commits/46562
   However, there is no that fix anymore in the mtr v2. (This fact was mailed to mtr maintaining
   people).

2. Bug@36929  crash in kill_zombie_dump_threads-> THD::awake() with replication tests
   is not backported because the base code of the patch is libevent and that was removed
   from the main trees due to its instability.

Post-push fix: Removed MTRv1 arguments according to the
original patch. Although there is a version check, the patch
was pushed to a 5.1 GA staging tree, while the version check 
considers version 5.2. This makes the deprecated parameters 
to be used, despite the fact that they are not valid anymore.

Part of MTRv1 is currently used in RQG semisync test, and this
was causing the test to fail on slave startup.

It should be safe to uncomment when merging up to celosia.

Post-push fix: Reverting change in Makefile.am which was
causing windows not to build client/.

CONFLICTS
=========

Text conflict in sql/sql_yacc.yy
1 conflicts encountered. 

      
One statement that have more than one different tables to update with 
autoinc columns just was marked as unsafe in mixed mode, so the unsafe 
warning can't be produced in statement mode.
      
To fix the problem, mark the statement as unsafe in statement mode too.

Removed test case that was left without significance after
backporting the deprecated constructs from 6.0 codebase.

Bug#41756 "Strange error messages about locks from InnoDB".
      
In JT_EQ_REF (join_read_key()) access method, 
don't try to unlock rows in the handler, unless certain that 
a) they were locked
b) they are not used.

Unlocking of rows is done by the logic of the nested join loop,
and is unaware of the possible caching that the access method may
have. This could lead to double unlocking, when a row
was unlocked first after reading into the cache, and then 
when taken from cache, as well as to unlocking of rows which
were actually used (but taken from cache).
      
Delegate part of the unlocking logic to the access method,
and in JT_EQ_REF count how many times a record was actually 
used in the join. Unlock it only if it's usage count is 0.

Implemented review comments.

            values return too many records

WHERE clauses with "outer_value_list NOT IN subselect" were
handled incorrectly if the outer value list contained multiple 
items where at least one of these could be NULL. The first 
outer record with NULL value was handled correctly, but if a 
second record with NULL value existed, the optimizer would 
choose to reuse the result it got on the last execution of the 
subselect. This is incorrect if the outer value list has 
multiple items.
     
The fix is to make Item_in_optimizer::val_int (in 
item_cmpfunc.cc) reuse the result of the latest execution
for NULL values only if all values in the outer_value_list 
are NULL.
