gets deadlocked when dropping w/ log on" Log tables rely on concurrent insert machinery to add data. This means that log tables are always opened and locked by special (artificial) logger threads. Because of this, the thread which tries to drop a log table starts to wait for the table to be unlocked. Which will happen only if the log table is disabled. Alike situation happens if one tries to alter a log table. However in addition to the problem above, alter table calls check_if_locking_is_allowed() routine for the engine. The routine does not allow alter for the log tables. So, alter doesn't start waiting forever for logs to be disabled, but returns with an error. Another problem is that not all engines could be used for the log tables. That's because they need concurrent insert. In this patch we: (1) Explicitly disallow to drop/alter a log table if it is currently used by the logger. (2) Update MyISAM to support log tables (3) Allow to drop log tables/alter log tables if log is disabled At the same time we (4) Disallow to alter log tables to unsupported engine (after this patch CSV and MyISAM are alowed) Recommit with review fixes. mysql-test/r/log_tables.result: Update result file. Note: there are warnings in result file. This is because of CSV bug (Bug #21328). They should go away after it is fixed. mysql-test/t/log_tables.test: Add a test for the bug sql/ha_myisam.cc: Add log table handling to myisam: as log tables use concurrent insert, they are typically locked with TL_CONCURRERENT_INSERT lock. So, disallow other threads to attempt locking of the log tables in incompatible modes. Because otherwise the threads will wait for the tables to be unlocked forever. sql/handler.cc: Add a function to check if a table we're going to lock is a log table and if the lock mode we want allowed sql/handler.h: Add a new function to check compatibility of the locking sql/log.cc: we shouldn't close the log table if and only if this particular table is already closed sql/log.h: add new functions to check if a log is enabled sql/share/errmsg.txt: add new error messages sql/sql_table.cc: DROP and ALTER TABLE should not work on log tables if the log tables are enabled storage/csv/ha_tina.cc: move function to check if the locking for the log tables allowed to handler class, so that we can reuse it in other engines. storage/myisam/mi_extra.c: add new ::extra() flag processing to myisam storage/myisam/mi_open.c: init log table flag storage/myisam/mi_write.c: update status after each write if it's a log table storage/myisam/myisamdef.h: Add new log table flag to myisam share. We need it to distinguish between usual and log tables, as for the log tables we should provide concurrent insert in a different way than for usual tables: we want new rows to be immediately visible to other threads.
