BUG#40143 federated.federated_server fails sporadically in pushbuild
The original goal of the test, as reported on BUG #25721, is to check whether a deadlock happens or not when concurrently CREATING/ALTERING/DROPPING the same server. For that a procedure (p1) is created that runs the exact same CREATE/ALTER/DROP statements for 10K iterations and two different connections (threads - t1 and t2) call p1 concurrently. At the end of the 10K iterations, the test checks if there was errors while running the loop (SELECT e >0). The problem is that In some cases it may happen that one thread, t1, gets scheduled to execute with just enough time to complete the iteration and never bumps into the other thread t2. Meaning that t1 will never run into an SQL exception. On the other hand, the other thread, t2, may run into t1 and never issue any/part of its own statements because it will throw an SQLEXCEPTION. This is probably the case for failures where only one value differs. Furthermore, there is a third scenario: both threads are scheduled to run interleaved for each iteration (or even one thread completes all iterations before the other starts). In this case, both will succeed without any error. This is probably the case for the failure that reports two different values. This patch addresses the failure in pushbuild by removing the error counting and the printout (SELECT > 0) at the end of the test. A timeout should occur if the error that the test is checking surfaces.
