INDEX_STATISTICS not updated upon index merge union

Details

    Description

      In the example below, the query uses both table keys (using union(a,b)), but none of them is included into INDEX_STATISTICS.

      SET @userstat.save= @@userstat;
       
      CREATE TABLE t (a INT, b INT, KEY(a), KEY(b)) ENGINE=MyISAM;
      INSERT INTO t VALUES (1,10),(2,20),(3,30),(4,40),(5,50);
      SET GLOBAL userstat= 1;
      FLUSH INDEX_STATISTICS;
      EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 2 OR b = 30;
      SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 2 OR b = 30;
      SHOW INDEX_STATISTICS;
       
      # Cleanup
      DROP TABLE t;
      SET GLOBAL userstat= @userstat.save;

      EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 2 OR b = 30;
      id	select_type	table	type	possible_keys	key	key_len	ref	rows	Extra
      1	SIMPLE	t	index_merge	a,b	a,b	5,5	NULL	2	Using union(a,b); Using where
      SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 2 OR b = 30;
      a	b
      2	20
      3	30
      SHOW INDEX_STATISTICS;
      Table_schema	Table_name	Index_name	Rows_read
      DROP TABLE t;
      

      If, however, the query is run with index_merge_union=off and uses sort_union(a,b) instead, both indexes appear in INDEX_STATISTICS:

      SET optimizer_switch='index_merge_union=off';
      EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 2 OR b = 30;
      id	select_type	table	type	possible_keys	key	key_len	ref	rows	Extra
      1	SIMPLE	t	index_merge	a,b	a,b	5,5	NULL	2	Using sort_union(a,b); Using where
      SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 2 OR b = 30;
      a	b
      2	20
      3	30
      SHOW INDEX_STATISTICS;
      Table_schema	Table_name	Index_name	Rows_read
      test	t	b	1
      test	t	a	1
      DROP TABLE t;
