Null Merge from mysql-5.1 with second fix for Bug#12637786
Bug#12637786 was fixed with rb:692 by marko. But that fix has a remaining bug. It added this assert; ut_ad(ind_field->prefix_len); before a section of code that assumes there is a prefix_len. The patch replaced code that explicitly avoided this with a check for prefix_len. It turns out that the purge thread can get to that assert without a prefix_len because it does not use a row_ext_t* . When UNIV_DEBUG is not defined, the affect of this is that the purge thread sets the dfield->len to zero and then cannot find the entry in the index to purge. So secondary index entries remain unpurged. This patch does not do the assert. Instead, it uses 'if (ind_field->prefix_len) {...}' around the section of code that assumes a prefix_len. This is the way the patch I provided to Marko did it. The test case is simply modified to do a sleep(10) in order to give the purge thread a chance to run. Without the code change to row0row.c, this modified testcase will assert if InnoDB was compiled with UNIV_DEBUG. I tried to sleep(5), but it did not always assert.
