Slow performance with outer joins and join buffer.

Details

    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;
       
      select now();
      SELECT t.* 
      FROM 
        t1 t 
        LEFT JOIN t2 c1 ON c1.parent_id = t.id AND c1.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c2 ON c2.parent_id = t.id AND c2.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c3 ON c3.parent_id = t.id AND c3.col2 = "val"

        LEFT JOIN t2 c9 ON c9.parent_id = t.id AND c9.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c10 ON c10.parent_id = t.id AND c10.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c11 ON c11.parent_id = t.id AND c11.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c12 ON c12.parent_id = t.id AND c12.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c13 ON c13.parent_id = t.id AND c13.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c14 ON c14.parent_id = t.id AND c14.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c15 ON c15.parent_id = t.id AND c15.col2 = "val"

        LEFT JOIN t2 c18 ON c18.parent_id = t.id AND c18.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c19 ON c19.parent_id = t.id AND c19.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c20 ON c20.parent_id = t.id AND c20.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c21 ON c21.parent_id = t.id AND c21.col2 = "val"

        LEFT JOIN t2 c23 ON c23.parent_id = t.id AND c23.col2 = "val"
        LEFT JOIN t2 c24 ON c24.parent_id = t.id AND c24.col2 = "val"

        LEFT JOIN t2 c33 ON c33.parent_id = t.id AND c33.col2 = "val"
      ORDER BY 
        col1;
       
      select now();

      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).
