CREATE INDEX may check the wrong maximum column length

Details

    Description

      In ha_innobase::prepare_inplace_alter_table() when the table is not being rebuilt, max_col_len must be determined based on the current table:

      diff --git a/storage/innobase/handler/handler0alter.cc b/storage/innobase/handler/handler0alter.cc
      index 3ac4f4fe4c1..1b4b48e90f7 100644
      --- a/storage/innobase/handler/handler0alter.cc
      +++ b/storage/innobase/handler/handler0alter.cc
      @@ -5601,7 +5601,14 @@ ha_innobase::prepare_inplace_alter_table(
       			       & 1U << DICT_TF_POS_DATA_DIR);
       	}
       
      -	max_col_len = DICT_MAX_FIELD_LEN_BY_FORMAT_FLAG(info.flags());
      +
      +	/* ALGORITHM=COPY uses the default row format while
      +	ALGORITHM=INPLACE uses the current format. Find the limit for
      +	the resulting format.*/
      +	max_col_len = DICT_MAX_FIELD_LEN_BY_FORMAT_FLAG(
      +		innobase_need_rebuild(ha_alter_info, this->table)
      +		? info.flags()
      +		: m_prebuilt->table->flags);
       
       	/* Check each index's column length to make sure they do not
       	exceed limit */
      

      When no ROW_FORMAT is explicitly specified and the value of innodb_default_row_format is changed between CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE…ADD INDEX (or CREATE INDEX), we could enforce the wrong maximum column length limitation. For ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT and ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT, the maximum column length for a full-column index is 767 bytes.
