Bug#24901077: RESET SLAVE ALL DOES NOT ALWAYS RESET SLAVE
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.
