Postfix

      
      Before the patch, slaves only appear in the output of SHOW SLAVE HOSTS 
      when report-host option is set. If an expected slave does not appear in  
      the list, nobody knows whether the slave does not connect or has started
      without the "report-host" option. The output also contains a strange  
      field "Rpl_recovery_rank" which has never been implemented and the manual 
      of MySQL5.4 declares that the field has been removed from MySQL5.4.
                                        
      This patch is done with these,
      According to the manual of MySQL5.4, "Rpl_recovery_rank" is removed.
      Slaves will register themselves to master no matter if report_host option is set
      or not. When slaves are registering themselves, their Server_ids, report_host
      and other information are together sent to master. Sever_ids are never null 
      and is unique in one replication group. Slaves always can be identified with  
      different Server_ids no matter if report_host exists.

rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_sessions was reset by FLUSH STATUS,
which could cause the master fail to wake up waiting sessions and
result in master timeout waiting for slave reply.

rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_session should not be reset, this 
problem is fixed by this patch.

Use ev_offset instead of 1 as the packet header offset when getting
log position from events for heartbeat

call reset_transmit_packet before calling send_heartbeat_event

Remove functions that no longer needed
Fix warning suppressions

Add an option to control whether the master should keep waiting
until timeout when it detected that there is no semi-sync slave
available.

The bool option 'rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_no_slave' is 1 by
defalt, and will keep waiting until timeout. When set to 0, the
master will switch to asynchronous replication immediately when
no semi-sync slave is available.

Semi-sync status were not reset by FLUSH STATUS, this was because
all semi-sync status variables are defined as SHOW_FUNC and FLUSH
STATUS could only reset SHOW_LONG type variables.

This problem is fixed by change all status variables that should
be reset by FLUSH STATUS from SHOW_FUNC to SHOW_LONG.

After the fix, the following status variables will be reset by
FLUSH STATUS:
  Rpl_semi_sync_master_yes_tx
  Rpl_semi_sync_master_no_tx

Note: normally, FLUSH STATUS itself will be written into binlog
and be replicated, so after FLUSH STATS, one of
  Rpl_semi_sync_master_yes_tx
  Rpl_semi_sync_master_no_tx
can be 1 dependent on the semi-sync status. So it's recommended
to use FLUSH NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG STATUS to avoid this.

Errors when send reply to master should never cause the IO thread
to stop, because master can fall back to async replication if it
does not get reply from slave.

The problem is fixed by deliberately ignoring the return value of
slaveReply.

Semi-sync uses an extra connection from slave to master to send
replies, this is a normal client connection, and used a normal
SET query to set the reply information on master, which is visible
to user and may cause some confusion and complaining.

This problem is fixed by using the method of sending reply by
using the same connection that is used by master dump thread to
send binlog to slave. Since now the semi-sync plugins are integrated
with the server code, it is not a problem to use the internal net
interfaces to do this.

The master dump thread will mark the event requires a reply and
wait for the reply when the event just sent is the last event
of a transaction and semi-sync status is ON; And the slave will
send a reply to master when it received such an event that requires
a reply.

Fix for backport into mysql-5.1-rep+2

The issue appears when number of heartbeat events non-zero before start of test
block. But really we need to check that no new events has received during test block.
So I did following:
1. Replace absolute values by diff of values
2. Increase heartbeat period from 1.5 to 5 sec

It is backport patch.
This adds new test case for testing affects of some variables to replication.

On sparc, semisync master/slave status is always showed as OFF, this
is fixed by change rpl_semisync_master/slave_status variables from
long to char.

This is backport for next-mr.

The patch adds new test cases that cover replication heartbeat testing.

fixing tests results: rpl_ndb_log, rpl_ndb_multi, sp_trans_log; adding replicate-ignore_server_ids specific tests

binlog_tmp_table
rpl_row_sp006_InnoDB
rpl_slave_status

According to Jon's comment, add (at least one of) to the error message.

CHANGE MASTER TO command required the value for RELAY_LOG_FILE to
be an absolute path, which was different from the requirement of
MASTER_LOG_FILE.

This patch fixed the problem by changing the value for RELAY_LOG_FILE
to be the basename of the log file as that for MASTER_LOG_FILE.

Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and 
caused confusing.

Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no 
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.

This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from 
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.

There were two memory leaks in mysqlbinlog command, one was already
fixed by previous patches, another one was that defaults_argv was
set to the value of argv after parse_args, in which called
handle_options after calling load_defaults and changed the value
of argv, and caused the memory allocated for defaults arguments
not freed.

Fixed the problem by setting defaults_argv right after calling
load_defaults.

There are three internal status for slave I/O thread, both
MYSQL_SLAVE_RUN_NOT_CONNECT and MYSQL_SLAVE_NOT_RUN are reported
as 'No' for Slave_IO_running of command SHOW SLAVE STATUS.

Change MYSQL_SLAVE_RUN_NOT_CONNECT to be reported as 'Connecting'.

When a storage engine failed to initialize before allocated slot number,
the slot number would be 0, and when later finalizing this plugin, it would
accidentally unplug the storage engine currently uses slot 0.

This patch fixed this problem by add a new macro value HA_SLOT_UNDEF to
distinguish undefined slot number from slot 0.
