    Bug#24901077: RESET SLAVE ALL DOES NOT ALWAYS RESET SLAVE · e619295e
    Sujatha Sivakumar authored
    Description:
    ============
    If you have a relay log index file that has ended up with
    some relay log files that do not exists, then RESET SLAVE
    ALL is not enough to get back to a clean state.
    
    Analysis:
    =========
    In the bug scenario slave server is in stopped state and
    some of the relay logs got deleted but the relay log index
    file is not updated.
    
    During slave server restart replication initialization fails
    as some of the required relay logs are missing. User
    executes RESET SLAVE/RESET SLAVE ALL command to start a
    clean slave. As per the documentation RESET SLAVE command
    clears the master info and relay log info repositories,
    deletes all the relay log files, and starts a new relay log
    file. But in a scenario where the slave server's
    Relay_log_info object is not initialized slave will not
    purge the existing relay logs. Hence the index file still
    remains in a bad state. Users will not be able to start
    the slave unless these files are cleared.
    
    Fix:
    ===
    RESET SLAVE/RESET SLAVE ALL commands should do the cleanup
    even in a scenario where Relay_log_info object
    initialization failed.
    
    Backported a flag named 'error_on_rli_init_info' which is
    required to identify slave's Relay_log_info object
    initialization failure. This flag exists in MySQL-5.6
    onwards as part of BUG#14021292 fix.
    
    During RESET SLAVE/RESET SLAVE ALL execution this flag
    indicates the Relay_log_info initialization failure.
    In such a case open the relay log index/relay log files
    and do the required clean up.
