Unexpected corruption error ER_NOT_KEYFILE upon ALTER TABLE with a certain combination of data volume and max_sort_file_size

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      I am setting it to Minor, despite it being a corruption-looking error, because it is only reproducible on 10.1-10.3, apparently something has fixed it in 10.4+. Besides, it requires a non-default value of myisam_max_sort_file_size / aria_max_sort_file_size.

      --source include/have_sequence.inc
       
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b INT, KEY (a)) ENGINE=MyISAM;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (8,8);
      INSERT INTO t1 SELECT seq, seq FROM seq_1_to_100000;
       
      SET GLOBAL myisam_max_sort_file_size= 1024*1024;
      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY b INT NOT NULL;
       
      --error ER_DUP_ENTRY
      ALTER TABLE t1 ADD UNIQUE (b);
       
      # Cleanup
      DROP TABLE t1;
      

      10.2 5f1ec5cb

      MariaDB [test]> ALTER TABLE t1 ADD UNIQUE (b);
      ERROR 1034 (HY000): Duplicate key  1 for record at 72 against new record at 0
      

      There is indeed a duplicate key in the table, but it should be error 1062 - ER_DUP_ENTRY, not 1034 - ER_NOT_KEYFILE.

      The printed duplicate key value is also wrong, possibly related to MDEV-23507.

      The problem seems to be scalable, myisam_max_sort_file_size value required to reproduce it depends on the data volume.

      Also reproducible with Aria:

      --source include/have_sequence.inc
       
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b INT, KEY (a)) ENGINE=Aria;
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (8,8);
      INSERT INTO t1 SELECT seq, seq FROM seq_1_to_100000;
       
      SET GLOBAL aria_max_sort_file_size= 0;
      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY b INT NOT NULL;
       
      --error ER_DUP_ENTRY
      ALTER TABLE t1 ADD UNIQUE (b);
       
      # Cleanup
      DROP TABLE t1;
