Instant alter drop index not supported in 10.4.24

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Documentation at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/innodb-online-ddl-operations-with-the-instant-alter-algorithm/#alter-table-drop-index-and-drop-index states that 10.4 supports DROP INDEX ..., ALGORITHM=INSTANT, but it does not.

      This is what I get when I run the example from that URL:
