Remote user used by Spider needs SUPER privilege

    Description

      I'm trying to test out Spider, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the remote server if the remote user doesn't have SUPER privileges. Why is this necessary?

      e.g. if I do the following on the remote server:

      CREATE DATABASE spider_test;
       
      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON spider_test.* TO spider_test@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
       
      USE spider_test;
       
      CREATE TABLE local_tab (
         id int auto_increment primary key,
         str varchar(50)
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB;
      

      And then the following on the Spider server:

      CREATE SERVER srv1 
        FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER mysql 
      OPTIONS( 
        HOST '172.30.0.249', 
        DATABASE 'spider_test',
        USER 'spider_test',
        PASSWORD 'password'
      );
       
      CREATE DATABASE spider_test;
       
      USE spider_test;
       
      CREATE TABLE spider_tab (
         id int auto_increment primary key,
         str varchar(50)
      ) ENGINE=Spider COMMENT='wrapper "mysql", srv "srv1", table "local_tab"';
      

      I am not able to query the spider table:

      MariaDB [spider_test]> SELECT * FROM spider_tab;
      ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation
      

      Even though I am able to connect to the remote server and query the table using the regular mysql client:

      $ mysql -h 172.30.0.249 -u spider_test -ppassword spider_test
      Reading table information for completion of table and column names
      You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

      MariaDB [spider_test]> SELECT * FROM local_tab;
      Empty set (0.00 sec)
      

      The spider table works if I give the user the SUPER privileges.

      remote server:

      GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO spider_test@'%';
      

      Spider server:

      MariaDB [spider_test]> SELECT * FROM spider_tab;
      Empty set (0.01 sec)
      

      Why would the remote user need SUPER privileges?
