CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX unnecessarily writes undo log

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      In the third part of MDEV-25506, any DDL operations that will delete .ibd files will be rewritten. The design is such that MDL_EXCLUSIVE is supposed to prevent background access to tables that are about to be deleted. For the InnoDB internal tables that implement FULLTEXT INDEX, we tried to jump through some hoops to acquire MDL on the main table name. This will work for the #sql-backup table, but not for the #sql-alter table. (And MDEV-11415 was not really fixed for the internal tables related to fulltext indexes).
      I observed the following crash:

      CURRENT_TEST: innodb_fts.fulltext
      mysqltest: At line 729: query 'CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX idx1 ON t1 (title,body)' failed with wrong errno <Unknown> (2013): 'Lost connection to server during query', instead of ER_DUP_ENTRY (1062)...

      InnoDB: Failing assertion: table->get_ref_count() == 0
      

      The holder of the reference is about to release the reference as well as MDL_SHARED on test.t1:

      But, the crashing thread is not holding MDL_EXCLUSIVE because it is executing a rollback. Hence, concurrent access from the purge thread was not blocked:

      Purge was operating on the table FTS_0000000000000258_CONFIG, and it was holding MDL on test.t1 because table ID 0x258 belongs to that name.

      Later, a different solution was implemented as part of that development: If a transaction would drop any FTS_ tables, using a new primitive purge_sys.stop_FTS() we will ensure that purge will not be running (on any table) until the transaction has been committed.

      Could we fix fts_create_common_tables() so that it never invokes fts_drop_common_tables(), but simply empties the tables if they exist? That would remove the need to drop those common tables. (Note: this suggestion conflicts with the idea below.)

      Even better would be to ensure that DDL operations will never write undo log to the FTS_ tables (extending what was implemented in MDEV-11415). We would still have to protect ALGORITHM=COPY and TRUNCATE TABLE operation by MDL (maybe by having ha_innobase::delete_table() and ha_innobase::truncate() acquire MDL on each to-be-dropped FTS_ table name), because purge may be processing undo log records that had been previously written for the old table.
