NOTES
WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE "INTERVALS"
A partition pruning "interval" is equivalent to condition in one of the
forms:

The next session desribes the process in greater detail.
IMPLEMENTATION
TYPES OF RESTRICTIONS THAT WE CAN OBTAIN PARTITIONS FOR
We can find out which [sub]partitions to use if we obtain restrictions on
[sub]partitioning fields in the following form:
1. "partition_field1=const1 AND ... AND partition_fieldN=constN"
1.1 Same as (1) but for subpartition fields
If partitioning supports interval analysis (i.e. partitioning is a
function of a single table field, and partition_info::
get_part_iter_for_interval != NULL), then we can also use condition in
this form:
2. "const1 <=? partition_field <=? const2"
2.1 Same as (2) but for subpartition_field
INFERRING THE RESTRICTIONS FROM SEL_ARG TREE
"partition_field1=const1 AND ... AND partition_fieldN=constN" (1)
"subpartition_field1=const1 AND ... AND subpartition_fieldN=constN" (2)
"(1) AND (2)" (3)
The below is an example of what SEL_ARG tree may represent:
In (1) and (2) all [sub]partitioning fields must be used, and "x=const"
includes "x IS NULL".

The up-down connections are connections via SEL_ARG::left and
SEL_ARG::right. A horizontal connection to the right is the
SEL_ARG::next_key_part connection.
If partitioning is performed using
PARTITION BY RANGE(unary_monotonic_func(single_partition_field)),
then the following is also an interval:
find_used_partitions() traverses the entire tree via recursion on
* SEL_ARG::next_key_part (from left to right on the picture)
* SEL_ARG::left|right (up/down on the pic). Left-right recursion is
performed for each depth level.
Recursion descent on SEL_ARG::next_key_part is used to accumulate (in
ppar->arg_stack) constraints on partitioning and subpartitioning fields.
For the example in the above picture, one of stack states is:
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "subpar2=c5") (***)
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "subpar1=c3")
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "par2=c2") (**)
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "par1=c1")
in prune_partitions(...)
We apply partitioning limits as soon as possible, e.g. when we reach the
depth (**), we find which partition(s) correspond to "par1=c1 AND par2=c2",
and save them in ppar->part_iter.
When we reach the depth (***), we find which subpartition(s) correspond to
"subpar1=c3 AND subpar2=c5", and then mark appropriate subpartitions in
appropriate subpartitions as used.
It is possible that constraints on some partitioning fields are missing.
For the above example, consider this stack state:
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "subpar2=c12") (***)
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "subpar1=c10")
in find_used_partitions(key_tree = "par1=c2")
in prune_partitions(...)
Here we don't have constraints for all partitioning fields. Since we've
never set the ppar->part_iter to contain used set of partitions, we use
its default "all partitions" value. We get subpartition id for
"subpar1=c3 AND subpar2=c5", and mark that subpartition as used in every
partition.
The inverse is also possible: we may get constraints on partitioning
fields, but not constraints on subpartitioning fields. In that case,
calls to find_used_partitions() with depth below (**) will return -1,
and we will mark entire partition as used.
" const1 OP1 single_partition_field OP2 const2" (4)
where OP1 and OP2 are '<' OR '<=', and const_i can be +/- inf.
Everything else is not a partition pruning "interval".

Replace recursion on SEL_ARG::left and SEL_ARG::right with a loop
RETURN
1 OK, one or more [sub]partitions are marked as used.
