described in Mantis#30. Specifically:

- Allow innodb_file_format to take string arguments
- Make innodb_file_format system variable a string instead of a number
- Implement the callback functions
- Update warning messages

Three new functions are implemented:

file_format_name_lookup(): Validate the file format name and return
its corresponding id.

innodb_file_format_check(): Check if it is a valid file format. This
function is registered as a callback with MySQL.

innodb_file_format_update(): Update the global variable using the
"saved" value. This functions is registered as a callback with MySQL.

has a config variable that has since been renamed, we use a mapping table
to check for matches.

make_binary_release.sh which is passed to dynconfig. If the target
architecture is i[3456]86 then we disable the --with-pic flag.

Introduced a new session level config param innodb_strict_mode.
If it is set we do extra checking at time of table creation
and fail if any invalid combination of KEY_BLOCK_SIZE
or ROW_FORMAT is specified.

Add the prototype of check_global_access() if MySQL version is less than
5.1.24 to make zip compile with 5.1.23. This was removed when MySQL added
the prototype in their code in 5.1.24 but we still need zip to compile with
older versions.

This patch tries to enable resizeable buffer pool by polling the configuration
parameter for the buffer pool size, which is not a good solution.  The
right way could be to have an update function callback of a settable
MySQL variable to send an event to the master thread.

It could also make sense to expose the buffer pool chunks to the user.
The first chunk would never be freed.  Other chunks than the first one
would only be used for allocating page frames (uncompressed or compressed)
and block descriptors of of compressed pages (buf_page_t).  That is, other
users of the buffer pool, such as mem_heap_create_block() and the lock
table, would be restricted to the first chunk.  This would allow other
chunks to be freed by simply flushing any dirty blocks that they contain.

It might also be worthwhile to create multiple chunks initially, based on
the initial buffer pool size and the HugeTLB page size.  In that way, the
buffer pool could be reduced from the initial configuration at runtime.

Throw warnings, not errors for wrong ROW_FORMAT or KEY_BLOCK_SIZE,
so that any table dump can be loaded.

As of this change, InnoDB supports the following table formats:

ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT
	the only format before MySQL/InnoDB 5.0.3
ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT
	the new default format of MySQL/InnoDB 5.0.3
ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
	uncompressed, no prefix in the clustered index record for BLOBs
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED
	like ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC, but zlib compressed B-trees and BLOBs;
	the compressed page size is specified by KEY_BLOCK_SIZE in
	kilobytes (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16; default 8)

KEY_BLOCK_SIZE=1, 2, 4, 8, or 16: implies ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;
ignored if ROW_FORMAT is not COMPRESSED

KEY_BLOCK_SIZE=anything else: ignored

The InnoDB row format is displayed in the 4th column (Row_format) of
the output of SHOW TABLE STATUS.  The Create_options column may show
ROW_FORMAT= and KEY_BLOCK_SIZE=, but they do not necessarily have
anything to do with InnoDB.

The table format can also be queried like this:

SELECT table_schema, table_name, row_format
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE engine='innodb' and row_format in ('Compressed','Dynamic');

When Row_format='Compressed', KEY_BLOCK_SIZE should usually correspond
to the compressed page size.  But the .frm file could be manipulated
to show any KEY_BLOCK_SIZE.

For some reason, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.CREATE_OPTIONS does not
include KEY_BLOCK_SIZE.  It does include row_format (spelled in
lowercase).  This looks like a MySQL bug, because the table
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES probably tries to replace SHOW TABLE STATUS.
I reported this as Bug #35275 <http://bugs.mysql.com/35275>.

ha_innobase::get_row_type(): Add ROW_TYPE_COMPRESSED, ROW_TYPE_DYNAMIC.

upd_get_field_by_field_no(): New accessor function, for retrieving
an field from an update vector by field_no.

row_upd_index_replace_new_col_val(): New function, for replacing the

DICT_TF_COMPRESSED_MASK, DICT_TF_COMPRESSED_SHIFT: Replace with
DICT_TF_ZSSIZE_MASK, DICT_TF_ZSSIZE_SHIFT.

DICT_TF_FORMAT_MASK, DICT_TF_FORMAT_SHIFT, DICT_TF_FORMAT_51,
DICT_TF_FORMAT_ZIP: File format version, stored in table->flags,
in the .ibd file header, and in SYS_TABLES.TYPE.

dict_create_sys_tables_tuple(): Write the table flags to SYS_TABLES.TYPE
if the format is at least DICT_TF_FORMAT_ZIP.  For old formats
(DICT_TF_FORMAT_51), write DICT_TABLE_ORDINARY as the table type.

DB_TABLE_ZIP_NO_IBD: Remove the error code.  The error handling is done
in ha_innodb.cc; as a failsafe measure, dict_build_table_def_step() will
silently clear the compression and format flags instead of returning this
error.

dict_mem_table_create(): Assert that no extra bits are set in the flags.

dict_sys_tables_get_zip_size(): Rename to dict_sys_tables_get_flags().
Check all flag bits, and return ULINT_UNDEFINED if the combination is
unsupported.

dict_boot(): Document the SYS_TABLES columns N_COLS and TYPE.

dict_table_get_format(), dict_table_set_format(),
dict_table_flags_to_zip_size(): New accessors to table->flags.

dtuple_convert_big_rec(): Introduce the auxiliary variables
local_len, local_prefix_len.  Store a 768-byte prefix locally
if the file format is less than DICT_TF_FORMAT_ZIP.

dtuple_convert_back_big_rec(): Restore the columns.

srv_file_format: New variable: innodb_file_format.

fil_create_new_single_table_tablespace(): Replace the parameter zip_size
with table->flags.

with table->flags.  Check the flags.

fil_space_struct, fil_space_create(), fil_op_write_log():
Replace zip_size with flags.

fil_node_open_file(): Note a TODO item for InnoDB Hot Backup.
Check that the tablespace flags match.

fil_space_get_zip_size(): Rename to fil_space_get_flags().  Add a
wrapper for fil_space_get_zip_size().

fsp_header_get_flags(): New function.

fsp_header_init_fields(): Replace zip_size with flags.

FSP_SPACE_FLAGS: New name for the tablespace flags.  This field used
to be called FSP_PAGE_ZIP_SIZE, or FSP_LOWEST_NO_WRITE.  It has always
been written as 0 in MySQL/InnoDB versions 4.1 to 5.1.

MLOG_ZIP_FILE_CREATE: Rename to MLOG_FILE_CREATE2.  Add a 32-bit
parameter for the tablespace flags.

ha_innobase::create(): Check the table attributes ROW_FORMAT and
KEY_BLOCK_SIZE.  Issue errors if they are inappropriate, or warnings
if the inherited attributes (in ALTER TABLE) will be ignored.

PAGE_ZIP_MIN_SIZE_SHIFT: New constant: the 2-logarithm of PAGE_ZIP_MIN_SIZE.

as of r2355, remove the special startup options innodb-zip-master.opt
and set the variable in innodb-zip.test instead.

There is one consideration: fil_init() chooses the tablespace hash size
based on the initial value of srv_file_per_table.  However, this is nothing
new: InnoDB could be started with innodb_file_per_table=0 even though
*.ibd files exist.

srv_file_per_table: Declare as my_bool instead of ibool, because
MYSQL_SYSVAR_BOOL() expects a pointer to my_bool.  Document the
variable also in srv0srv.h.

innobase_start_or_create_for_mysql(): Note why it is OK to temporarily
clear srv_file_per_table.

innobase_file_per_table: Remove.
