  A construction block of the SEL_ARG-graph.

  The following description only covers graphs of SEL_ARG objects with
  sel_arg->type==KEY_RANGE:

  One SEL_ARG object represents an "elementary interval" in form

      min_value <=?  table.keypartX  <=? max_value

  The interval is a non-empty interval of any kind: with[out] minimum/maximum
  bound, [half]open/closed, single-point interval, etc.

  1. SEL_ARG GRAPH STRUCTURE

  SEL_ARG objects are linked together in a graph. The meaning of the graph
  is better demostrated by an example:

     tree->keys[i]
      |
      |             $              $
      |    part=1   $     part=2   $    part=3
      |             $              $
      |  +-------+  $   +-------+  $   +--------+
      |  | kp1<1 |--$-->| kp2=5 |--$-->| kp3=10 |
      |  +-------+  $   +-------+  $   +--------+
      |      |      $              $       |
      |      |      $              $   +--------+
      |      |      $              $   | kp3=12 |
      |      |      $              $   +--------+
      |  +-------+  $              $
      \->| kp1=2 |--$--------------$-+
         +-------+  $              $ |   +--------+
             |      $              $  ==>| kp3=11 |
         +-------+  $              $ |   +--------+
         | kp1=3 |--$--------------$-+       |
         +-------+  $              $     +--------+
             |      $              $     | kp3=14 |
            ...     $              $     +--------+

  The entire graph is partitioned into "interval lists".

  An interval list is a sequence of ordered disjoint intervals over the same
  key part. SEL_ARG are linked via "next" and "prev" pointers. Additionally,
  all intervals in the list form an RB-tree, linked via left/right/parent
  pointers. The RB-tree root SEL_ARG object will be further called "root of the
  interval list".

    In the example pic, there are 4 interval lists:
    "kp<1 OR kp1=2 OR kp1=3", "kp2=5", "kp3=10 OR kp3=12", "kp3=11 OR kp3=13".
    The vertical lines represent SEL_ARG::next/prev pointers.

  In an interval list, each member X may have SEL_ARG::next_key_part pointer
  pointing to the root of another interval list Y. The pointed interval list
  must cover a key part with greater number (i.e. Y->part > X->part).

    In the example pic, the next_key_part pointers are represented by
    horisontal lines.

  2. SEL_ARG GRAPH SEMANTICS

  It represents a condition in a special form (we don't have a name for it ATM)
  The SEL_ARG::next/prev is "OR", and next_key_part is "AND".

  For example, the picture represents the condition in form:
   (kp1 < 1 AND kp2=5 AND (kp3=10 OR kp3=12)) OR
   (kp1=2 AND (kp3=11 OR kp3=14)) OR
   (kp1=3 AND (kp3=11 OR kp3=14))


  3. SEL_ARG GRAPH USE

  Use get_mm_tree() to construct SEL_ARG graph from WHERE condition.
  Then walk the SEL_ARG graph and get a list of dijsoint ordered key
  intervals (i.e. intervals in form

   (constA1, .., const1_K) < (keypart1,.., keypartK) < (constB1, .., constB_K)

  Those intervals can be used to access the index. The uses are in:
   - check_quick_select() - Walk the SEL_ARG graph and find an estimate of
                            how many table records are contained within all
                            intervals.
   - get_quick_select()   - Walk the SEL_ARG, materialize the key intervals,
                            and create QUICK_RANGE_SELECT object that will
                            read records within these intervals.

  4. SPACE COMPLEXITY NOTES

    SEL_ARG graph is a representation of an ordered disjoint sequence of
    intervals over the ordered set of index tuple values.

    For multi-part keys, one can construct a WHERE expression such that its
    list of intervals will be of combinatorial size. Here is an example:

      (keypart1 IN (1,2, ..., n1)) AND
      (keypart2 IN (1,2, ..., n2)) AND
      (keypart3 IN (1,2, ..., n3))

    For this WHERE clause the list of intervals will have n1*n2*n3 intervals
    of form

      (keypart1, keypart2, keypart3) = (k1, k2, k3), where 1 <= k{i} <= n{i}

    SEL_ARG graph structure aims to reduce the amount of required space by
    "sharing" the elementary intervals when possible (the pic at the
    beginning of this comment has examples of such sharing). The sharing may
    prevent combinatorial blowup:

      There are WHERE clauses that have combinatorial-size interval lists but
      will be represented by a compact SEL_ARG graph.
      Example:
        (keypartN IN (1,2, ..., n1)) AND
        ...
        (keypart2 IN (1,2, ..., n2)) AND
        (keypart1 IN (1,2, ..., n3))

    but not in all cases:

    - There are WHERE clauses that do have a compact SEL_ARG-graph
      representation but get_mm_tree() and its callees will construct a
      graph of combinatorial size.
      Example:
        (keypart1 IN (1,2, ..., n1)) AND
        (keypart2 IN (1,2, ..., n2)) AND
        ...
        (keypartN IN (1,2, ..., n3))

    - There are WHERE clauses for which the minimal possible SEL_ARG graph
      representation will have combinatorial size.
      Example:
        By induction: Let's take any interval on some keypart in the middle:

           kp15=c0

        Then let's AND it with this interval 'structure' from preceding and
        following keyparts:

          (kp14=c1 AND kp16=c3) OR keypart14=c2) (*)

        We will obtain this SEL_ARG graph:

             kp14     $      kp15      $      kp16
                      $                $
         +---------+  $   +---------+  $   +---------+
         | kp14=c1 |--$-->| kp15=c0 |--$-->| kp16=c3 |
         +---------+  $   +---------+  $   +---------+
              |       $                $
         +---------+  $   +---------+  $
         | kp14=c2 |--$-->| kp15=c0 |  $
         +---------+  $   +---------+  $
                      $                $

       Note that we had to duplicate "kp15=c0" and there was no way to avoid
       that.
       The induction step: AND the obtained expression with another "wrapping"
       expression like (*).
       When the process ends because of the limit on max. number of keyparts
       we'll have:

         WHERE clause length  is O(3*#max_keyparts)
         SEL_ARG graph size   is O(2^(#max_keyparts/2))

       (it is also possible to construct a case where instead of 2 in 2^n we
        have a bigger constant, e.g. 4, and get a graph with 4^(31/2)= 2^31
        nodes)

    We avoid consuming too much memory by setting a limit on the number of
    SEL_ARG object we can construct during one range analysis invocation.

  Quick select interface.
  This class is a parent for all QUICK_*_SELECT and FT_SELECT classes.

  The usage scenario is as follows:
  1. Create quick select
    quick= new QUICK_XXX_SELECT(...);

  2. Perform lightweight initialization. This can be done in 2 ways:
  2.a: Regular initialization
    if (quick->init())
    {
      //the only valid action after failed init() call is delete
      delete quick;
    }
  2.b: Special initialization for quick selects merged by QUICK_ROR_*_SELECT
    if (quick->init_ror_merged_scan())
      delete quick;

  3. Perform zero, one, or more scans.
    while (...)
    {
      // initialize quick select for scan. This may allocate
      // buffers and/or prefetch rows.
      if (quick->reset())
      {
        //the only valid action after failed reset() call is delete
        delete quick;
        //abort query
      }

      // perform the scan
      do
      {
        res= quick->get_next();
      } while (res && ...)
    }

  4. Delete the select:
    delete quick;
  
  NOTE 
    quick select doesn't use Sql_alloc/MEM_ROOT allocation because "range
    checked for each record" functionality may create/destroy
    O(#records_in_some_table) quick selects during query execution.

  QUICK_INDEX_SORT_SELECT is the base class for the common functionality of:
  - QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT, access based on multi-index merge/union 
  - QUICK_INDEX_INTERSECT_SELECT, access based on  multi-index intersection 
    

    QUICK_INDEX_SORT_SELECT uses
     * QUICK_RANGE_SELECTs to get rows
     * Unique class
       - to remove duplicate rows for QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT
       - to intersect rows for QUICK_INDEX_INTERSECT_SELECT

  INDEX MERGE OPTIMIZER
    Current implementation doesn't detect all cases where index merge could
    be used, in particular:

     * index_merge+'using index' is not supported

     * If WHERE part contains complex nested AND and OR conditions, some ways
       to retrieve rows using index merge will not be considered. The choice
       of read plan may depend on the order of conjuncts/disjuncts in WHERE
       part of the query, see comments near imerge_list_or_list and
       SEL_IMERGE::or_sel_tree_with_checks functions for details.

     * There is no "index_merge_ref" method (but index merge on non-first
       table in join is possible with 'range checked for each record').


  ROW RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM

    index merge/intersection uses Unique class for duplicates removal. 
    index merge/intersection takes advantage of Clustered Primary Key (CPK)
    if the table has one.
    The index merge/intersection algorithm consists of two phases:

    Phase 1 
    (implemented by a QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT::read_keys_and_merge call):

    prepare()
    {
      activate 'index only';
      while(retrieve next row for non-CPK scan)
      {
        if (there is a CPK scan and row will be retrieved by it)
          skip this row;
        else
          put its rowid into Unique;
      }
      deactivate 'index only';
    }

    Phase 2 
    (implemented as sequence of QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT::get_next calls):

    fetch()
    {
      retrieve all rows from row pointers stored in Unique
      (merging/intersecting them);
      free Unique;
      if (! intersection) 
        retrieve all rows for CPK scan;
    }

  Index scan for GROUP-BY queries with MIN/MAX aggregate functions.

  This class provides a specialized index access method for GROUP-BY queries

       SELECT A_1,...,A_k, [B_1,...,B_m], [MIN(C)], [MAX(C)]
         FROM T
        WHERE [RNG(A_1,...,A_p ; where p <= k)]

  where all selected fields are parts of the same index.
  The class of queries that can be processed by this quick select is fully
  specified in the description of get_best_trp_group_min_max() in opt_range.cc.

  The get_next() method directly produces result tuples, thus obviating the
  need to call end_send_group() because all grouping is already done inside
  get_next().

  Since one of the requirements is that all select fields are part of the same
  index, this class produces only index keys, and not complete records.
