      Change cost for REF to take into account cost for 1 extra key read_next · 3fa99f0c
      Monty authored
      The main difference in code path between EQ_REF and REF is that for
      REF we have to do an extra read_next on the index to check that there
      is no more matching rows.
      
      Before this patch we added a preference of EQ_REF by ensuring that REF
      would always estimate to find at least 2 rows.
      
      This patch adds the cost of the extra key read_next to REF access and
      removes the code that limited REF to at least 2 rows. For some queries
      this can have a big effect as the total estimated rows will be halved
      for each REF table with 1 rows.
      
      multi_range cost calculations are also changed to take into account
      the difference between EQ_REF and REF.
      
      The effect of the patch to the test suite:
      - About 80 test case changed
      - Almost all changes where for EXPLAIN where estimated rows for REF
        where changed from 2 to 1.
      - A few test cases using explain extended had a change of 'filtered'.
        This is because of the estimated rows are now closer to the
        calculated selectivity.
      - A very few test had a change of table order.
        This is because the change of estimated rows from 2 to 1 or the small
        cost change for REF
        (main.subselect_sj_jcl6, main.group_by, main.dervied_cond_pushdown,
        main.distinct, main.join_nested, main.order_by, main.join_cache)
      - No key statistics and the estimated rows are now smaller which cased
        estimated filtering to be lower.
        (main.subselect_sj_mat)
      - The number of total rows are halved.
        (main.derived_cond_pushdown)
      - Plans with 1 row changed to use RANGE instead of REF.
        (main.group_min_max)
      - ALL changed to REF
        (main.key_diff)
      - Key changed from ref + index_only to PRIMARY key for InnoDB, as
        OPTIMIZER_ROW_LOOKUP_COST + OPTIMIZER_ROW_NEXT_FIND_COST is smaller than
        OPTIMIZER_KEY_LOOKUP_COST + OPTIMIZER_KEY_NEXT_FIND_COST.
        (main.join_outer_innodb)
      - Cost changes printouts
        (main.opt_trace*)
      - Result order change

      Fixed wrong selectivity calculation in table_after_join_selectivity() · b5df077e
      Monty authored
      The old code counted selectivity double in case of queries like:
      WHERE key_part1=1 and key_part2 < 100
      if the optimizer would decide to use a REF access on key_part1.
      
      The new code in best_access_path() that changes REF access to RANGE
      if the RANGE key is longer makes this issue less likely to happen.
      
      I was not able to create a test case for 11.0, however if one ports this
      patch to a MariaDB version without the change of REF to RANGE, the
      selectivity will be counted double.

      Cache file->index_flags(index, 0, 1) in table->key_info[index].index_flags · ed0a7235
      Monty authored
      The reason for this is that we call file->index_flags(index, 0, 1)
      multiple times in best_access_patch()when optimizing a table.
      For example, in InnoDB, the calls is not trivial (4 if's and 2 assignments)
      Now the function is inlined and is just a memory reference.
      
      Other things:
      - handler::is_clustering_key() and pk_is_clustering_key() are now inline.
      - Added TABLE::can_use_rowid_filter() to simplify some code.
      - Test if we should use a rowid_filter only if can_use_rowid_filter() is
        true.
      - Added TABLE::is_clustering_key() to avoid a memory reference.
      - Simplify some code using the fact that HA_KEYREAD_ONLY is true implies
        that HA_CLUSTERED_INDEX is false.
      - Added DBUG_ASSERT to TABLE::best_range_rowid_filter() to ensure we
        do not call it with a clustering key.
      - Reorginized elements in struct st_key to get better memory alignment.
      - Updated ha_innobase::index_flags() to not have
        HA_DO_RANGE_FILTER_PUSHDOWN for clustered index

      Removed "<select expression> INTO <destination>" deprication. · 1f4a9f08
      Monty authored
      This was done after discussions with Igor, Sanja and Bar.
      
      The main reason for removing the deprication was to ensure that MariaDB
      is always backward compatible whenever possible.
      
      Other things:
      - Added statistics counters, mainly for the feedback plugin.
        - INTO OUTFILE
        - INTO variable
        - If INTO is using the old syntax (end of query)

      In best_access_path() change record_count to 1.0 if its less than 1.0. · 8b7c0d69
      Monty authored
      In essence this means that we expect the user query to have at least
      one matching row in the end.
      This change will not affect the estimated rows for the plan, but will
      ensure that the cost for adding a table is not neglected because of
      record count being too low.
      
      The reasons for this is that if we have table combination that
      together has a very high selectivity then join record_count could
      become very low (close to 0)
      
      This would cause costs for all future tables to be so small that they
      are irrelevant for the rest of the plan.
      This has been shown to be the case in some performance benchmarks and
      in a few mtr tests.
      
      There is also still a problem in selectivity calculations as joining two
      tables in different order causes a different estimation of total rows.
      This can be seen in selectivity_innodb.test, test 'Q20' where joining
      nation,supplier is expecting 1.111 rows_out while joining supplier,nation
      is expecting 0.04 rows_out.
      
      The reason for 0.04 is that the optimizer estimates 'supplier' to have
      10 matching rows, and joining with nation (eq_ref) has 1 row. However
      selectivity of n_name = 'UNITED STATES' makes the optimizer things
      that there will be only 0.04 matching rows.
      
      This patch avoids this "too low row count" to affect cost
      caclulations.

      Fixed bug in Aria with aria_log files that are exactly 8K · dd1a4131
      Monty authored
      In the case one has an old Aria log file that ands with a Aria checkpoint
      and the server restarts after next recovery, just after created a
      new Aria log file (of 8K), the Aria recovery code would abort.
      If one would try to delete all Aria log files after this (but not the
      aria_control_file), the server would crash during recovery.
      
      The problem was that translog_get_last_page_addr() would regard a log file
      of exactly 8K as illegal and the rest of the code could not handle this
      case.
      
      Another issue was that if there was a crash directly after the log file
      head was written to the next page, the code in translog_get_next_chunk()
      would crash.
      
      This patch fixes most of the issues, but not all. For Sanja to look at!
      
      Things fixed:
      - Added code to ignore 8K log files.
      - Removed ASSERT in translog_get_next_chunk() that checks if page only
        contains the log page header.

      Small improvements to aria recovery · cbf60dba
      Monty authored
      I spent 4 hours on work and 12 hours of testing to try to find
      the reason for aria crashing in recovery when starting a new test,
      in which case the 'data directory' should be a copy of "install.db",
      but aria_log.00000001 content was not correct.
      
      The following changes are mostly done to make it a bit easier to find out
      more in case of future similar crashes:
      
      - Mark last_checkpoint_lsn volatile (safety).
      - Write checkpoint message to aria_recovery.trace
      - When compling with DBUG and with HAVE_DBUG_TRANSLOG_SRC,
        use checksum's for Aria log pages. We cannot have it on by default
        for DBUG servers yet as there is bugs when changing CRC between
        restarts.
      - Added a message to mtr --verbose when copying the data directory.
      - Removed extra linefeed in Aria recovery message (cleanup)

      Added rowid_filter support to Aria · 66dde8a5
      Monty authored
      This includes:
      - cleanup and optimization of filtering and pushdown engine code.
      - Adjusted costs for rowid filters (based on extensive testing
        and profiling).
      
      This made a small two changes to the handler_rowid_filter_is_active()
      API:
      - One should not call it with a zero pointer!
      - One does not need to call handler_rowid_filter_is_active() for every
        row anymore. It is enough to check if filter is active by calling it
        call it during index_init() or when handler::rowid_filter_changed()
        is called
      
      The changes was to avoid unnecessary function calls and checks if
      pushdown conditions and rowid_filter is not used.
      
      Updated costs for rowid_filter_lookup() to be closer to reality.
      The old cost was based only on rowid_compare_cost. This is now
      changed to take into account the overhead in checking the rowid.
      
      Changed the Range_rowid_filter class to use DYNAMIC_ARRAY directly
      instead of Dynamic_array<>. This was done to be able to use the new
      append_dynamic() functions which gives a notable speed improvment
      compared to the old code.  Removing the abstraction also makes
      the code easier to understand.
      
      The cost of filtering is now slightly lower than before, which
      is reflected in some test cases that is now using rowid filters.

      Added test cases for preceding test · 727491b7
      Monty authored
      This includes all test changes from
      "Changing all cost calculation to be given in milliseconds"
      and forwards.
      
      Some of the things that caused changes in the result files:
      
      - As part of fixing tests, I added 'echo' to some comments to be able to
        easier find out where things where wrong.
      - MATERIALIZED has now a higher cost compared to X than before. Because
        of this some MATERIALIZED types have changed to DEPENDEND SUBQUERY.
        - Some test cases that required MATERIALIZED to repeat a bug was
          changed by adding more rows to force MATERIALIZED to happen.
      - 'Filtered' in SHOW EXPLAIN has in many case changed from 100.00 to
        something smaller. This is because now filtered also takes into
        account the smallest possible ref access and filters, even if they
        where not used. Another reason for 'Filtered' being smaller is that
        we now also take into account implicit filtering done for subqueries
        using FIRSTMATCH.
        (main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
        This is caluculated in best_access_path() and stored in records_out.
      - Table orders has changed because more accurate costs.
      - 'index' and 'ALL' for small tables has changed to use 'range' or
         'ref' because of optimizer_scan_setup_cost.
      - index can be changed to 'range' as 'range' optimizer assumes we don't
        have to read the blocks from disk that range optimizer has already read.
        This can be confusing in the case where there is no obvious where clause
        but instead there is a hidden 'key_column > NULL' added by the optimizer.
        (main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
      - Scan on primary clustered key does not report 'Using Index' anymore
        (It's a table scan, not an index scan).
      - For derived tables, the number of rows is now 100 instead of 2,
        which can be seen in EXPLAIN.
      - More tests have "Using index for group by" as the cost of this
        optimization is now more correct (lower).
      - A primary key could be preferred for a normal key, even if it would
        access more rows, as it's faster to do 1 lokoup and 3 'index_next' on a
        clustered primary key than one lookup trough a secondary.
        (main.stat_tables_innodb)
      
      Notes:
      
      - There was a 4.7% more calls to best_extension_by_limited_search() in
        the main.greedy_optimizer test.  However examining the test results
        it looked that the plans where slightly better (eq_ref where more
        chained together) so I assume this is ok.
      - I have verified a few test cases where there was notable/unexpected
        changes in the plan and in all cases the new optimizer plans where
        faster.  (main.greedy_optimizer and some others)

      MDEV-29677 Wrong result with join query and innodb fulltext search · aa5e7880
      Monty authored
      InnoDB FTS scan was used by a subquery. A subquery execution may start
      a table read and continue until it finds the first matching record
      combination. This can happen before the table read returns EOF.
      
      The next time the subquery is executed, it will start another table read.
      InnoDB FTS table read fails to re-initialize its data structures in this
      scenario and will try to continue the scan started at the first execution.
      
      Fixed by ha_innobase::ft_init() to stop the FTS scan if there is one.

      Monty authored
      - table_after_join_selectivity() should use records_init (new bug)
      - get_examined_rows() changed to double to get similar results
        as in MariaDB 10.11
      - Fixed bug where table_after_join_selectivity() did not correct
        selectivity in the case where a RANGE is used instead of a REF.
        This can happen if the range can use more key_parts than the REF.
        WHERE key_part1=10 and key_part2 < 10
      
      Other things:
      - Use JT_RANGE instead of JT_ALL for RANGE access in all parts of the code.
        Before we used JT_ALL for RANGE.
      - Force RANGE be used in best_access_path() if the range used more key
        parts than ref. In the original code, this was done much later in
        make_join_select)(). However we need to know in
        table_after_join_selectivity() if we have used RANGE or not.
      - Added more information about filtering to optimizer_trace.
