As of now innodb does not store trx_id for each record in secondary index. The idea behind is following: let us store only per-page max_trx_id, and delete-mark the records when they are deleted/updated. If the read starts, it rememders the lowest id of currently active transaction. Innodb refers to it as trx->read_view->m_up_limit_id. See also ReadView::open. When the page is fetched, its max_trx_id is compared to m_up_limit_id. If the value is lower, and the secondary index record is not delete-marked, then this page is just safe to read as is. Else, a clustered index could be needed ato access. See page_get_max_trx_id call in row_search_mvcc, and the corresponding switch (row_search_idx_cond_check(...)) below. Virtual columns are required to be updated in case if the record was delete-marked. The motivation behind it is documented in Row_sel_get_clust_rec_for_mysql::operator() near row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_clust_rec call. This was basically a description why virtual column computation can normally happen during SELECT, and, generally, a vcol index access. Sometimes stats tables are updated by innodb. This starts a new transaction, and it can happen that it didn't finish to the moment of SELECT execution, forcing virtual columns recomputation. If the result was a something that normally outputs a warning, like division by zero, then it could be outputted in a racy manner. The solution is to suppress the warnings when a column is computed for the described purpose. ignore_wrnings argument is added innobase_get_computed_value. Currently, it is only true for a call from row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_clust_rec.
