BUG#20604: FORCE INDEX uses keys disabled by ALTER TABLE
The function that checks whether we can use keys for aggregates, find_key_for_maxmin(), assumes that keys disabled by ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE KEYS are not in the set table->keys_in_use_for_query. I.E., if a key is in this set, the optimizer assumes it is free to use it. The bug is that keys disabled with ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE KEYS still appear in table->keys_in_use_for_query When the TABLE object has been initialized with setup_tables(). Before setup_tables is called, however, keys that are disabled in the aforementioned way are not included in TABLE::keys_in_use_for_query. The provided patch changes the code that updates keys_is_use_for_query so that it assumes that keys_is_use_for_query already takes into account all disabled keys, and generally all keys that should be used by the query. mysql-test/r/key.result: Test for BUG#20604. The important part of the test is the explain output that tests what indexes are used. mysql-test/t/key.test: The minimal test case that reveals the bug. The optimizer for aggregates relies on keys disabled with ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE KEYS not being in the set TABLE::keys_in_use_for_query. When the execution engine tries to use a disabled index, MyISAM returns an error. sql/sql_base.cc: Exclude the keys disabled by ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE_KEYS from TABLE::keys_in_use_for_query, and in general, don't introduce any new keys. We may not know why keys have been removed at previous stages. sql/sql_select.cc: The intersection operation between table->s->keys_in_use and table->keys_in_use_for_query is no longer necessary. We can trust that the latter is a subset of the former. sql/table.h: Added comments to TABLE_SHARE::keys_in_use and TABLE::keys_in_use_for_query.
