Inconsistent SELECT results when query cache is enabled

Details

    Description

      MariaDB 10.2 and newer returns inconsistent results when query caching is enabled (query_cache_type=ON).

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Start a MariaDB 10.2+ database with default settings.

      For example by running a docker container on port 3500:

      shell> docker run --name mariadb-10.2.14 -p 3500:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test -e MYSQL_USER=test -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=test -e MYSQL_DATABASE=test -d mariadb:10.2.14
      

      2. Run the attached mysqltest case MDEV-16087.mysqltest

      shell> mysqltest -h 127.0.0.1 --port=3500 --user=test --password=test --result-file=MDEV-16087.record test < MDEV-16087.mysqltest
      

      It fails with:

      --- MDEV-16087.record	2018-05-15 15:42:11.495372790 +0200
      +++ MDEV-16087.reject	2018-05-15 15:52:24.547984967 +0200

       count(*)

      mysqltest: Result content mismatch
      

      3. Disable query caching and re-run the mysqltest case:

      shell> echo "set global query_cache_type = off;" | mysql -h 127.0.0.1 --port=3500 --user=root --password=test
      shell> mysqltest -h 127.0.0.1 --port=3500 --user=test --password=test --result-file=MDEV-16087.record test < MDEV-16087.mysqltest
      

      Mysqltest succeeds.

      Environment

      • Ubuntu
      • MariaDB 10.2.14
      • Query cache settings:

        MariaDB [(none)]> show variables like '%query_cache%';
