If the command CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE really replaces a table then
it should remove all data on this table from all statistical tables.

           for blob column

ANALYZE TABLE <table> does not collect statistical data on min/max values
for BLOB columns of <table>. However these values can be added into
mysql.column_stats manually by executing proper statements.
Unfortunately this led to a memory leak because the memory allocated
for these values was never freed.
This patch provides the server with a function to free memory allocated
for min/max statistical values of BLOB types.

    ASAN error in is_stat_table()

    don't memcmp beyond the first argument's end

    Also: use my_strcasecmp(table_alias_charset), like elsewhere, not memcmp

fix_semijoin_strategies_for_picked_join_order() should set
join->sjm_lookup_tables to be a bitmap of tables inside
SJ-Materialization-Lookup nests.

In this issue we are using derived_with_keys optimization and we are using these keys to do a hash join which is incorrect.
We cannot create keys for dervied tables whose keyparts have types are of BLOB or TEXT type. TEXT or BLOB  columns can only be
indexed over a specified length.

It is not open.

Disks with native 4K sectors need 4K alignment and size for  unbuffered IO
(i.e for files opened with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING)

Innodb opens redo log with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING, however it always does
512byte IOs. Thus, the IO on 4K native sectors will fail, rendering
Innodb non-functional.

The fix is to check whether OS_FILE_LOG_BLOCK_SIZE is multiple of logical
sector size, and if it is not, reopen the redo log without
FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag.

When the definition of the index used for hash join was created
in create_hj_key_for_table() it could cause memory overwrite
due to a bug that led to an underestimation of the number of
the index component.

rnd_pos_by_record calls ha_rnd_pos, which does the counting

For the purpose of reporting an error to error log, shutdown thread was
attempting to access current_thd->variables.lc_messages->errmsgs->errmsgs.
Whereas current_thd was NULL.

We should log errors according to global lc_messages setting instead of
session setting.

Only close stdin if it was open initinally. Otherwise we may close file
descriptor which is reused for different puprose (specifically for binlog
index file in case of this bug).

MDEV-16512 Server crashes in find_field_in_table_ref on 2nd
execution of SP referring to non-existing field

Problem was in the natural join code that it changed TABLE_LIST and
Item_fields but didn't restore changed things if things goes wrong
and was not able to re-execute after failure.
Some of the problems could have been avoided if we would have run
fix_fields before doing natural join transformations.

Fixed by marking functions complete AFTER they had executed, instead at
start.
I had also to change some tests that checked if Item_fields are usable.

This doesn't fix all known problems, but at least avoids some crashes.
What should be done in the near future is to mark the statement in the SP
as 'not re-executable' and force a reparse of it on next execution.

MDEV-15953 Alter InnoDB Partitioned Table Moves Files (which were originally not in the datadir) to the datadir

ha_innobase::prepare_inplace_alter_table: preserve DATA DICTIONARY for table

Observed and described
partitioned engine execution time difference
between master and slave was caused by excessive invocation
of base_engine::rnd_init which was done also for partitions
uninvolved into Rows-event operation.
The bug's slave slowdown therefore scales with the number of partitions.

Fixed with applying an upstream patch.

           optimizer_use_condition_selectivity = 4

It does not makes sense to try to read statistics for temporary tables
because it's not collected.

This reverts commit d39629f0.

Because running mtr for many hours with no output whatsoever
is not really what we should do.

And in 5.5 `make test` just works anyway, nothing to fix here.

MDEV-16534 PPC64: Unexpected error with a negative value into auto-increment columns in HEAP, MyISAM, ARIA

In this case we are accessing incorrect memory when we have mergeable semi-joins.
In the case when we have mergeable semi joins parent select will have a table count
of all the tables in that select plus all the tables involved in the IN-subquery.
But this table count does not include the "sjm table" (only includes the inner and outer tables)
denotes as <subquery#> in explain.

make it return the same Info values as for the standalone server.

This fixes plugins.processlist for --embedded

make thd_get_error_context_description() to show not just
thd->proc_info, but exactly the same thread state that SHOW PROCESSLIST
shows.

An embedded run will output the full path name instead of a relative
one. Update results to cover both cases.

Check the name of the primary key to be 'PRIMARY'. Than
differs it from any implicit primary keys created by an engine.

When attempting to rename a table to a non-existing database,
InnoDB would misleadingly report "OS error 71" when in fact the
error code is InnoDB's own (OS_FILE_NOT_FOUND), and not report
both pathnames. Errors on rename could occur due to reasons
connected to either pathname.

os_file_handle_rename_error(): New function, to report errors in
renaming files.

Added unregistering writers in case of log error.
Added more debugging control about adding/removing writers to the buffers.

           SELECT .. LIMIT 0 (new variant)

This is another attempt to fix the problem of mdev-14515.

update table->pos_in_table_list during prepare,
just like it's done in normal execution.

otherwise it'll be a dangling pointer

adjust tests

rewrite tautological engine descriptions
