Description
A query over empty tables is extremely slow when outer join is used together with join buffering (which is ON by default).
Take this file
drop table if exists t2,t1;

|
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
|
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
|
`col1` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
|
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
|
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=47 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
|
|
CREATE TABLE `t2` (
|
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
|
`parent_id` smallint(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
|
`col2` varchar(25) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
|
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
|
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=19 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

and then run it.
First, run it with join_cache_level=0 - it will finish instantly
Then, run it with join_cache_level=2 (the default). The query will take more than 10 minutes (more in debug builds).
