/*
  This file is a container for general functionality related
  to partitioning introduced in MySQL version 5.1. It contains functionality
  used by all handlers that support partitioning, such as
  the partitioning handler itself and the NDB handler.
  (Much of the code in this file has been split into partition_info.cc and
   the header files partition_info.h + partition_element.h + sql_partition.h)

  The first version was written by Mikael Ronstrom 2004-2006.
  Various parts of the optimizer code was written by Sergey Petrunia.
  Code have been maintained by Mattias Jonsson.
  The second version was written by Mikael Ronstrom 2006-2007 with some
  final fixes for partition pruning in 2008-2009 with assistance from Sergey
  Petrunia and Mattias Jonsson.

  The first version supports RANGE partitioning, LIST partitioning, HASH
  partitioning and composite partitioning (hereafter called subpartitioning)
  where each RANGE/LIST partitioning is HASH partitioned. The hash function
  can either be supplied by the user or by only a list of fields (also
  called KEY partitioning), where the MySQL server will use an internal
  hash function.
  There are quite a few defaults that can be used as well.

  The second version introduces a new variant of RANGE and LIST partitioning
  which is often referred to as column lists in the code variables. This
  enables a user to specify a set of columns and their concatenated value
  as the partition value. By comparing the concatenation of these values
  the proper partition can be choosen.

/*
  This method is used to set-up both partition and subpartitioning
  field array and used for all types of partitioning.
  It is part of the logic around fix_partition_func.

  SYNOPSIS
    set_up_field_array()
    table                TABLE object for which partition fields are set-up
    sub_part             Is the table subpartitioned as well

  RETURN VALUE
    TRUE                 Error, some field didn't meet requirements
    FALSE                Ok, partition field array set-up

  DESCRIPTION

    A great number of functions below here is part of the fix_partition_func
    method. It is used to set up the partition structures for execution from
    openfrm. It is called at the end of the openfrm when the table struct has
    been set-up apart from the partition information.
    It involves:
    1) Setting arrays of fields for the partition functions.
    2) Setting up binary search array for LIST partitioning
    3) Setting up array for binary search for RANGE partitioning
    4) Setting up key_map's to assist in quick evaluation whether one
       can deduce anything from a given index of what partition to use
    5) Checking whether a set of partitions can be derived from a range on
       a field in the partition function.
    As part of doing this there is also a great number of error controls.
    This is actually the place where most of the things are checked for
    partition information when creating a table.
    Things that are checked includes
    1) All fields of partition function in Primary keys and unique indexes
       (if not supported)


    Create an array of partition fields (NULL terminated). Before this method
    is called fix_fields or find_table_in_sef has been called to set
    GET_FIXED_FIELDS_FLAG on all fields that are part of the partition
    function.

    Calculate the number of fields in the partition function.
    Use it allocate memory for array of Field pointers.
    Initialise array of field pointers. Use information set when

/*
  An important optimisation is whether a range on a field can select a subset
  of the partitions.
  A prerequisite for this to happen is that the PF is a growing function OR
  a shrinking function.
  This can never happen for a multi-dimensional PF. Thus this can only happen
  with PF with at most one field involved in the PF.
  The idea is that if the function is a growing function and you know that
  the field of the PF is 4 <= A <= 6 then we can convert this to a range
  in the PF instead by setting the range to PF(4) <= PF(A) <= PF(6). In the
  case of RANGE PARTITIONING and LIST PARTITIONING this can be used to
  calculate a set of partitions rather than scanning all of them.
  Thus the following prerequisites are there to check if sets of partitions
  can be found.
  1) Only possible for RANGE and LIST partitioning (not for subpartitioning)
  2) Only possible if PF only contains 1 field
  3) Possible if PF is a growing function of the field
  4) Possible if PF is a shrinking function of the field
  OBSERVATION:
  1) IF f1(A) is a growing function AND f2(A) is a growing function THEN
     f1(A) + f2(A) is a growing function
     f1(A) * f2(A) is a growing function if f1(A) >= 0 and f2(A) >= 0
  2) IF f1(A) is a growing function and f2(A) is a shrinking function THEN
     f1(A) / f2(A) is a growing function if f1(A) >= 0 and f2(A) > 0
  3) IF A is a growing function then a function f(A) that removes the
     least significant portion of A is a growing function
     E.g. DATE(datetime) is a growing function
     MONTH(datetime) is not a growing/shrinking function
  4) IF f1(A) is a growing function and f2(A) is a growing function THEN
     f1(f2(A)) and f2(f1(A)) are also growing functions
  5) IF f1(A) is a shrinking function and f2(A) is a growing function THEN
     f1(f2(A)) is a shrinking function and f2(f1(A)) is a shrinking function
  6) f1(A) = A is a growing function
  7) f1(A) = A*a + b (where a and b are constants) is a growing function

  By analysing the item tree of the PF we can use these deducements and
  derive whether the PF is a growing function or a shrinking function or
  neither of it.

  If the PF is range capable then a flag is set on the table object
  indicating this to notify that we can use also ranges on the field
  of the PF to deduce a set of partitions if the fields of the PF were
  not all fully bound.

/*
  Generate the partition syntax from the partition data structure.
  Useful for support of generating defaults, SHOW CREATE TABLES
  and easy partition management.

  SYNOPSIS
    generate_partition_syntax()
    part_info                  The partitioning data structure
    buf_length                 A pointer to the returned buffer length
    use_sql_alloc              Allocate buffer from sql_alloc if true
                               otherwise use my_malloc
    show_partition_options     Should we display partition options
    create_info                Info generated by parser
    alter_info                 Info generated by parser

  RETURN VALUES
    NULL error
    buf, buf_length            Buffer and its length

  DESCRIPTION
  Here we will generate the full syntax for the given command where all
  defaults have been expanded. By so doing the it is also possible to
  make lots of checks of correctness while at it.
  This could will also be reused for SHOW CREATE TABLES and also for all
  type ALTER TABLE commands focusing on changing the PARTITION structure
  in any fashion.

  The implementation writes the syntax to a temporary file (essentially
  an abstraction of a dynamic array) and if all writes goes well it
  allocates a buffer and writes the syntax into this one and returns it.

  As a security precaution the file is deleted before writing into it. This
  means that no other processes on the machine can open and read the file
  while this processing is ongoing.

  The code is optimised for minimal code size since it is not used in any
  common queries.

  There are 4 functions for hash partitioning and 2 for RANGE/LIST partitions.
  In addition there are 4 variants for RANGE subpartitioning and 4 variants
  for LIST subpartitioning thus in total there are 14 variants of this
  function.

  We have a set of support functions for these 14 variants. There are 4
  variants of hash functions and there is a function for each. The KEY
  partitioning uses the function calculate_key_value to calculate the hash
  value based on an array of fields. The linear hash variants uses the
  method get_part_id_from_linear_hash to get the partition id using the
  hash value and some parameters calculated from the number of partitions.

/*
  Find the sub-array part_info->list_array that corresponds to given interval

  SYNOPSIS 
    get_list_array_idx_for_endpoint()
      part_info         Partitioning info (partitioning type must be LIST)
      left_endpoint     TRUE  - the interval is [a; +inf) or (a; +inf)
                        FALSE - the interval is (-inf; a] or (-inf; a)
      include_endpoint  TRUE iff the interval includes the endpoint

  DESCRIPTION
    This function finds the sub-array of part_info->list_array where values of
    list_array[idx].list_value are contained within the specifed interval.
    list_array is ordered by list_value, so
    1. For [a; +inf) or (a; +inf)-type intervals (left_endpoint==TRUE), the 
       sought sub-array starts at some index idx and continues till array end.
       The function returns first number idx, such that 
       list_array[idx].list_value is contained within the passed interval.
       
    2. For (-inf; a] or (-inf; a)-type intervals (left_endpoint==FALSE), the
       sought sub-array starts at array start and continues till some last 
       index idx.
       The function returns first number idx, such that 
       list_array[idx].list_value is NOT contained within the passed interval.
       If all array elements are contained, part_info->num_list_values is
       returned.

  NOTE
    The caller will call this function and then will run along the sub-array of
    list_array to collect partition ids. If the number of list values is 
    significantly higher then number of partitions, this could be slow and
    we could invent some other approach. The "run over list array" part is
    already wrapped in a get_next()-like function.

  RETURN
    The edge of corresponding sub-array of part_info->list_array

/*
  Find the sub-array of part_info->range_int_array that covers given interval
 
  SYNOPSIS 
    get_partition_id_range_for_endpoint()
      part_info         Partitioning info (partitioning type must be RANGE)
      left_endpoint     TRUE  - the interval is [a; +inf) or (a; +inf)
                        FALSE - the interval is (-inf; a] or (-inf; a).
      include_endpoint  TRUE <=> the endpoint itself is included in the
                        interval

  DESCRIPTION
    This function finds the sub-array of part_info->range_int_array where the
    elements have non-empty intersections with the given interval.
 
    A range_int_array element at index idx represents the interval
      
      [range_int_array[idx-1], range_int_array[idx]),

    intervals are disjoint and ordered by their right bound, so
    
    1. For [a; +inf) or (a; +inf)-type intervals (left_endpoint==TRUE), the
       sought sub-array starts at some index idx and continues till array end.
       The function returns first number idx, such that the interval
       represented by range_int_array[idx] has non empty intersection with 
       the passed interval.
       
    2. For (-inf; a] or (-inf; a)-type intervals (left_endpoint==FALSE), the
       sought sub-array starts at array start and continues till some last
       index idx.
       The function returns first number idx, such that the interval
       represented by range_int_array[idx] has EMPTY intersection with the
       passed interval.
       If the interval represented by the last array element has non-empty 
       intersection with the passed interval, part_info->num_parts is
       returned.
       
  RETURN
    The edge of corresponding part_info->range_int_array sub-array.

Handling of on-line cases:

ADD PARTITION for RANGE/LIST PARTITIONING:
------------------------------------------
For range and list partitions add partition is simply adding a
new empty partition to the table. If the handler support this we
will use the simple method of doing this. The figure below shows
an example of this and the states involved in making this change.
            
Existing partitions                                     New added partitions
------       ------        ------        ------      |  ------    ------
|    |       |    |        |    |        |    |      |  |    |    |    |
| p0 |       | p1 |        | p2 |        | p3 |      |  | p4 |    | p5 |
------       ------        ------        ------      |  ------    ------
PART_NORMAL  PART_NORMAL   PART_NORMAL   PART_NORMAL    PART_TO_BE_ADDED*2
PART_NORMAL  PART_NORMAL   PART_NORMAL   PART_NORMAL    PART_IS_ADDED*2

The first line is the states before adding the new partitions and the 
second line is after the new partitions are added. All the partitions are
in the partitions list, no partitions are placed in the temp_partitions
list.

ADD PARTITION for HASH PARTITIONING
-----------------------------------
This little figure tries to show the various partitions involved when
adding two new partitions to a linear hash based partitioned table with
four partitions to start with, which lists are used and the states they
pass through. Adding partitions to a normal hash based is similar except
that it is always all the existing partitions that are reorganised not
only a subset of them.

Existing partitions                                     New added partitions
------       ------        ------        ------      |  ------    ------

p0 - p5 will be in the partitions list of partitions.
p0' and p1' will actually not exist as separate objects, there presence can
be deduced from the state of the partition and also the names of those
partitions can be deduced this way.

After adding the partitions and copying the partition data to p0', p1',
p4 and p5 from p0 and p1 the states change to adapt for the new situation
where p0 and p1 is dropped and replaced by p0' and p1' and the new p4 and
p5 are in the table again.

The first line above shows the states of the partitions before we start
adding and copying partitions, the second after completing the adding
and copying and finally the third line after also dropping the partitions
that are reorganised.

            An analysis of which parts needs reorganisation shows that it is
            divided into two intervals. The first interval is those parts
            that are reorganised up until upper_2n - 1. From upper_2n and
            onwards it starts again from partition 0 and goes on until
            it reaches p(upper_2n - 1). If the last new partition reaches
            beyond upper_2n - 1 then the first interval will end with
            p(lower_2n - 1) and start with p(num_orig_partitions - lower_2n).
            If lower_2n partitions are added then p0 to p(lower_2n - 1) will
            be reorganised which means that the two interval becomes one
            interval at this point. Thus only when adding less than
            lower_2n partitions and going beyond a total of upper_2n we
            actually get two intervals.

            To exemplify this assume we have 6 partitions to start with and
            add 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 partitions.
            The first to add after p5 is p6 = 110 in bit numbers. Thus we
            can see that 10 = p2 will be partition to reorganise if only one
            partition.
            If 2 partitions are added we reorganise [p2, p3]. Those two
            cases are covered by the second if part below.
            If 3 partitions are added we reorganise [p2, p3] U [p0,p0]. This
            part is covered by the else part below.
            If 5 partitions are added we get [p2,p3] U [p0, p2] = [p0, p3].
            This is covered by the first if part where we need the max check
            to here use lower_2n - 1.
            If 7 partitions are added we get [p2,p3] U [p0, p4] = [p0, p4].
            This is covered by the first if part but here we use the first
            calculated end_part.
            Finally with 9 new partitions we would also reorganise p6 if we
            used the method below but we cannot reorganise more partitions
            than what we had from the start and thus we simply set all_parts

COALESCE PARTITION:
-------------------
The figure below shows the manner in which partitions are handled when
performing an on-line coalesce partition and which states they go through
at start, after adding and copying partitions and finally after dropping
the partitions to drop. The figure shows an example using four partitions
to start with, using linear hash and coalescing one partition (always the
last partition).

Using linear hash then all remaining partitions will have a new reorganised
part.

REORGANIZE PARTITION:
---------------------
The figure exemplifies the handling of partitions, their state changes and
how they are organised. It exemplifies four partitions where two of the
partitions are reorganised (p1 and p2) into two new partitions (p4 and p5).
The reason of this change could be to change range limits, change list
values or for hash partitions simply reorganise the partition which could
also involve moving them to new disks or new node groups (MySQL Cluster).

temporary state not written in the frm file. It is used to ensure we write

     Case I:
       If there was a partition before and there is a new one defined.
       We use the new partitioning. The new partitioning is already
       defined in the correct variable so no work is needed to
       accomplish this.
       We do however need to update partition_changed to ensure that not
       only the frm file is changed in the ALTER TABLE command.

     Case IIa:
       There was a partitioning before and there is no new one defined.
       Also the user has not specified to remove partitioning explicitly.

       We use the old partitioning also for the new table. We do this
       by assigning the partition_info from the table loaded in
       open_table to the partition_info struct used by mysql_create_table
       later in this method.

     Case IIb:
       There was a partitioning before and there is no new one defined.
       The user has specified explicitly to remove partitioning

       Since the user has specified explicitly to remove partitioning
       we override the old partitioning info and create a new table using
       the specified engine.
       In this case the partition also is changed.

     Case III:
       There was no partitioning before altering the table, there is
       partitioning defined in the altered table. Use the new partitioning.
       No work needed since the partitioning info is already in the
       correct variable.

       In this case we discover one case where the new partitioning is using
       the same partition function as the default (PARTITION BY KEY or
       PARTITION BY LINEAR KEY with the list of fields equal to the primary
       key fields OR PARTITION BY [LINEAR] KEY() for tables without primary
       key)
       Also here partition has changed and thus a new table must be
       created.

     Case IV:
       There was no partitioning before and no partitioning defined.
       Obviously no work needed.

  DESCRIPTION
    This code is used to perform safe ADD PARTITION for HASH partitions
    and COALESCE for HASH partitions and REORGANIZE for any type of
    partitions.
    We prepare entries for all partitions except the reorganised partitions
    in REORGANIZE partition, those are handled by
    write_log_dropped_partitions. For those partitions that are replaced
    special care is needed to ensure that this is performed correctly and
    this requires a two-phased approach with this log as a helper for this.

    This code is closely intertwined with the code in rename_partitions in
    the partition handler.

      In the case where the engine supports one phase online partition
      changes it is not necessary to have any exclusive locks. The
      correctness is upheld instead by transactions being aborted if they
      access the table after its partition definition has changed (if they
      are still using the old partition definition).

      The handler is in this case responsible to ensure that all users
      start using the new frm file after it has changed. To implement
      one phase it is necessary for the handler to have the master copy
      of the frm file and use discovery mechanisms to renew it. Thus
      write frm will write the frm, pack the new frm and finally
      the frm is deleted and the discovery mechanisms will either restore
      back to the old or installing the new after the change is activated.

      Thus all open tables will be discovered that they are old, if not
      earlier as soon as they try an operation using the old table. One
      should ensure that this is checked already when opening a table,
      even if it is found in the cache of open tables.

      change_partitions will perform all operations and it is the duty of
      the handler to ensure that the frm files in the system gets updated
      in synch with the changes made and if an error occurs that a proper
      error handling is done.

      If the MySQL Server crashes at this moment but the handler succeeds
      in performing the change then the binlog is not written for the
      change. There is no way to solve this as long as the binlog is not
      transactional and even then it is hard to solve it completely.
 
      The first approach here was to downgrade locks. Now a different approach
      is decided upon. The idea is that the handler will have access to the
      Alter_info when store_lock arrives with TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ. So if the
      handler knows that this functionality can be handled with a lower lock
      level it will set the lock level to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE immediately.
      Thus the need to downgrade the lock disappears.
      1) Write the new frm, pack it and then delete it
      2) Perform the change within the handler

      Now after all checks and setting state on dropped partitions we can
      start the actual dropping of the partitions.

      Drop partition is actually two things happening. The first is that
      a lot of records are deleted. The second is that the behaviour of
      subsequent updates and writes and deletes will change. The delete
      part can be handled without any particular high lock level by
      transactional engines whereas non-transactional engines need to
      ensure that this change is done with an exclusive lock on the table.
      The second part, the change of partitioning does however require
      an exclusive lock to install the new partitioning as one atomic
      operation. If this is not the case, it is possible for two
      transactions to see the change in a different order than their
      serialisation order. Thus we need an exclusive lock for both
      transactional and non-transactional engines.

      For LIST partitions it could be possible to avoid the exclusive lock
      (and for RANGE partitions if they didn't rearrange range definitions
      after a DROP PARTITION) if one ensured that failed accesses to the
      dropped partitions was aborted for sure (thus only possible for
      transactional engines).

      0) Write an entry that removes the shadow frm file if crash occurs 
      1) Write the new frm file as a shadow frm
      2) Get an exclusive metadata lock on the table (waits for all active
         transactions using this table). This ensures that we
         can release all other locks on the table and since no one can open
         the table, there can be no new threads accessing the table. They
         will be hanging on this exclusive lock.
      3) Write the ddl log to ensure that the operation is completed
         even in the presence of a MySQL Server crash (the log is executed
         before any other threads are started, so there are no locking issues).
      4) Close all tables that have already been opened but didn't stumble on
         the abort locked previously. This is done as part of the
         alter_close_tables call.
      5) Write the bin log
         Unfortunately the writing of the binlog is not synchronised with
         other logging activities. So no matter in which order the binlog
         is written compared to other activities there will always be cases
         where crashes make strange things occur. In this placement it can
         happen that the ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION gets performed in the
         master but not in the slaves if we have a crash, after writing the
         ddl log but before writing the binlog. A solution to this would
         require writing the statement first in the ddl log and then
         when recovering from the crash read the binlog and insert it into
         the binlog if not written already.
      6) Install the previously written shadow frm file
      7) Prepare handlers for drop of partitions
      8) Drop the partitions
      9) Remove entries from ddl log
      10) Reopen table if under lock tables
      11) Complete query

      We insert Error injections at all places where it could be interesting
      to test if recovery is properly done.

      inserted into the new partition.

      0) Write an entry that removes the shadow frm file if crash occurs 
      1) Write the new frm file as a shadow frm file
      2) Get an exclusive metadata lock on the table (waits for all active
         transactions using this table). This ensures that we
         can release all other locks on the table and since no one can open
         the table, there can be no new threads accessing the table. They
         will be hanging on this exclusive lock.
      3) Write an entry to remove the new parttions if crash occurs
      4) Add the new partitions.
      5) Close all instances of the table and remove them from the table cache.
      6) Write binlog
      7) Now the change is completed except for the installation of the
         new frm file. We thus write an action in the log to change to
         the shadow frm file
      8) Install the new frm file of the table where the partitions are
         added to the table.
      9) Remove entries from ddl log
      10)Reopen tables if under lock tables

      In this case all records are still around after the change although
      possibly organised into new partitions, thus by ensuring that all
      updates go to both the old and the new partitioning scheme we can
      actually perform this operation lock-free. The only exception to
      this is when REORGANIZE PARTITION adds/drops ranges. In this case
      there needs to be an exclusive lock during the time when the range
      changes occur.
      This is only possible if the handler can ensure double-write for a
      period. The double write will ensure that it doesn't matter where the
      data is read from since both places are updated for writes. If such
      double writing is not performed then it is necessary to perform the
      change with the usual exclusive lock. With double writes it is even
      possible to perform writes in parallel with the reorganisation of
      partitions.

      Without double write procedure we get the following procedure.
      The only difference with using double write is that we can downgrade
      the lock to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE. Double write in this case only
      double writes from old to new. If we had double writing in both
      directions we could perform the change completely without exclusive
      lock for HASH partitions.
      Handlers that perform double writing during the copy phase can actually
      use a lower lock level. This can be handled inside store_lock in the
      respective handler.

      0) Write an entry that removes the shadow frm file if crash occurs 
      1) Write the shadow frm file of new partitioning
      2) Log such that temporary partitions added in change phase are

         Copy from the reorganised partitions to the new partitions

  Setup partition_info::* members related to partitioning range analysis

  SYNOPSIS
    set_up_partition_func_pointers()
      part_info  Partitioning info structure

  DESCRIPTION
    Assuming that passed partition_info structure already has correct values
    for members that specify [sub]partitioning type, table fields, and
    functions, set up partition_info::* members that are related to
    Partitioning Interval Analysis (see get_partitions_in_range_iter for its
    definition)

  IMPLEMENTATION
    There are three available interval analyzer functions:
    (1) get_part_iter_for_interval_via_mapping
    (2) get_part_iter_for_interval_cols_via_map 
    (3) get_part_iter_for_interval_via_walking

    They all have limited applicability:
    (1) is applicable for "PARTITION BY <RANGE|LIST>(func(t.field))", where
    func is a monotonic function.

    (2) is applicable for "PARTITION BY <RANGE|LIST> COLUMNS (field_list)

    (3) is applicable for 
      "[SUB]PARTITION BY <any-partitioning-type>(any_func(t.integer_field))"
      
    If both (1) and (3) are applicable, (1) is preferred over (3).
    
    This function sets part_info::get_part_iter_for_interval according to
    this criteria, and also sets some auxilary fields that the function
    uses.

      part_iter   Iterator structure to be initialized

  DESCRIPTION
    Initialize partition set iterator to walk over the interval in
    ordered-array-of-partitions (for RANGE partitioning) or 
    ordered-array-of-list-constants (for LIST partitioning) space.

  IMPLEMENTATION
    This function is used when partitioning is done by
    <RANGE|LIST>(ascending_func(t.field)), and we can map an interval in
    t.field space into a sub-array of partition_info::range_int_array or
    partition_info::list_array (see get_partition_id_range_for_endpoint,
    get_list_array_idx_for_endpoint for details).
    
    The function performs this interval mapping, and sets the iterator to
    traverse the sub-array and return appropriate partitions.
    
  RETURN
    0 - No matching partitions (iterator not initialized)
    1 - Ok, iterator intialized for traversal of matching partitions.
   -1 - All partitions would match (iterator not initialized)

      part_iter   Iterator structure to be initialized

  DESCRIPTION
    Initialize partition set iterator to walk over interval in integer field
    space. That is, for "const1 <=? t.field <=? const2" interval, initialize 
    the iterator to return a set of [sub]partitions obtained with the
    following procedure:
      get partition id for t.field = const1,   return it
      get partition id for t.field = const1+1, return it
       ...                 t.field = const1+2, ...
       ...                           ...       ...
       ...                 t.field = const2    ...

  IMPLEMENTATION
    See get_partitions_in_range_iter for general description of interval
    analysis. We support walking over the following intervals: 
      "t.field IS NULL" 
      "c1 <=? t.field <=? c2", where c1 and c2 are finite. 
    Intervals with +inf/-inf, and [NULL, c1] interval can be processed but
    that is more tricky and I don't have time to do it right now.

  RETURN
    0 - No matching partitions, iterator not initialized
    1 - Some partitions would match, iterator intialized for traversing them
   -1 - All partitions would match, iterator not initialized
