/*
  Fix fields referenced from inner selects.

  SYNOPSIS
    fix_inner_refs()
    thd               Thread handle
    all_fields        List of all fields used in select
    select            Current select
    ref_pointer_array Array of references to Items used in current select

  DESCRIPTION
    The function serves 3 purposes - adds fields referenced from inner
    selects to the current select list, resolves which class to use
    to access referenced item (Item_ref of Item_direct_ref) and fixes
    references (Item_ref objects) to these fields.

    If a field isn't already in the select list and the ref_pointer_array
    is provided then it is added to the all_fields list and the pointer to
    it is saved in the ref_pointer_array.

    The class to access the outer field is determined by the following rules:
    1. If the outer field isn't used under an aggregate function
      then the Item_ref class should be used.
    2. If the outer field is used under an aggregate function and this
      function is aggregated in the select where the outer field was
      resolved or in some more inner select then the Item_direct_ref
      class should be used.
    The resolution is done here and not at the fix_fields() stage as
    it can be done only after sum functions are fixed and pulled up to
    selects where they are have to be aggregated.
    When the class is chosen it substitutes the original field in the
    Item_outer_ref object.

    After this we proceed with fixing references (Item_outer_ref objects) to
    this field from inner subqueries.

  RETURN
    TRUE  an error occured
    FALSE ok

  Remove the predicates pushed down into the subquery

  SYNOPSIS
    JOIN::remove_subq_pushed_predicates()
      where   IN  Must be NULL
              OUT The remaining WHERE condition, or NULL

  DESCRIPTION
    Given that this join will be executed using (unique|index)_subquery,
    without "checking NULL", remove the predicates that were pushed down
    into the subquery.

    If the subquery compares scalar values, we can remove the condition that
    was wrapped into trig_cond (it will be checked when needed by the subquery
    engine)

    If the subquery compares row values, we need to keep the wrapped
    equalities in the WHERE clause: when the left (outer) tuple has both NULL
    and non-NULL values, we'll do a full table scan and will rely on the
    equalities corresponding to non-NULL parts of left tuple to filter out
    non-matching records.

    TODO: We can remove the equalities that will be guaranteed to be true by the
    fact that subquery engine will be using index lookup. This must be done only
    for cases where there are no conversion errors of significance, e.g. 257
    that is searched in a byte. But this requires homogenization of the return 
    codes of all Field*::store() methods.

  @note
    We can add accesses to the tables that are direct children of this nested 
    join (1), and are not inner tables w.r.t their neighbours (2).
    
    Example for #1 (outer brackets pair denotes nested join this function is 
    invoked for):
    @code
     ... LEFT JOIN (t1 LEFT JOIN (t2 ... ) ) ON cond
    @endcode
    Example for #2:
    @code
     ... LEFT JOIN (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ) ON cond
    @endcode
    In examples 1-2 for condition cond, we can add 'ref' access candidates to 
    t1 only.
    Example #3:
    @code
     ... LEFT JOIN (t1, t2 LEFT JOIN t3 ON inner_cond) ON cond
    @endcode
    Here we can add 'ref' access candidates for t1 and t2, but not for t3.

              Try re-using E(#rows) from "range" optimizer:
              We can do so if "range" optimizer used the same intervals as
              in (**). The intervals used by range optimizer may be not 
              available at this point (as "range" access might have choosen to
              create quick select over another index), so we can't compare
              them to (**). We'll make indirect judgements instead.
              The sufficient conditions for re-use are:
              (C1) All e_i in (**) are constants, i.e. found_ref==FALSE. (if
                   this is not satisfied we have no way to know which ranges
                   will be actually scanned by 'ref' until we execute the 
                   join)
              (C2) max #key parts in 'range' access == K == max_key_part (this
                   is apparently a necessary requirement)

              We also have a property that "range optimizer produces equal or 
              tighter set of scan intervals than ref(const) optimizer". Each
              of the intervals in (**) are "tightest possible" intervals when 
              one limits itself to using keyparts 1..K (which we do in #2).              
              From here it follows that range access used either one, or
              both of the (I1) and (I2) intervals:
              
               (t.keypart1=c1 AND ... AND t.keypartK=eK)  (I1) 
               (same-as-above but with one cond replaced  
                with "t.keypart_i IS NULL")               (I2)

              The remaining part is to exclude the situation where range
              optimizer used one interval while we're considering
              ref-or-null and looking for estimate for two intervals. This
              is done by last limitation:

              (C3) "range optimizer used (have ref_or_null?2:1) intervals"

    Don't test table scan if it can't be better.
    Prefer key lookup if we would use the same key for scanning.

    Don't do a table scan on InnoDB tables, if we can read the used
    parts of the row from any of the used index.
    This is because table scans uses index and we would not win
    anything by using a table scan.

    A word for word translation of the below if-statement in psergey's
    understanding: we check if we should use table scan if:
    (1) The found 'ref' access produces more records than a table scan
        (or index scan, or quick select), or 'ref' is more expensive than
        any of them.
    (2) This doesn't hold: the best way to perform table scan is to to perform
        'range' access using index IDX, and the best way to perform 'ref' 
        access is to use the same index IDX, with the same or more key parts.
        (note: it is not clear how this rule is/should be extended to 
        index_merge quick selects)
    (3) See above note about InnoDB.
    (4) NOT ("FORCE INDEX(...)" is used for table and there is 'ref' access
             path, but there is no quick select)
        If the condition in the above brackets holds, then the only possible
        "table scan" access method is ALL/index (there is no quick select).
        Since we have a 'ref' access path, and FORCE INDEX instructs us to
        choose it over ALL/index, there is no need to consider a full table
        scan.

/**
  Find a good, possibly optimal, query execution plan (QEP) by a greedy search.

    The search procedure uses a hybrid greedy/exhaustive search with controlled
    exhaustiveness. The search is performed in N = card(remaining_tables)
    steps. Each step evaluates how promising is each of the unoptimized tables,
    selects the most promising table, and extends the current partial QEP with
    that table.  Currenly the most 'promising' table is the one with least
    expensive extension.\

    There are two extreme cases:
    -# When (card(remaining_tables) < search_depth), the estimate finds the
    best complete continuation of the partial QEP. This continuation can be
    used directly as a result of the search.
    -# When (search_depth == 1) the 'best_extension_by_limited_search'
    consideres the extension of the current QEP with each of the remaining
    unoptimized tables.

    All other cases are in-between these two extremes. Thus the parameter
    'search_depth' controlls the exhaustiveness of the search. The higher the
    value, the longer the optimizaton time and possibly the better the
    resulting plan. The lower the value, the fewer alternative plans are
    estimated, but the more likely to get a bad QEP.

    All intermediate and final results of the procedure are stored in 'join':
    - join->positions     : modified for every partial QEP that is explored
    - join->best_positions: modified for the current best complete QEP
    - join->best_read     : modified for the current best complete QEP
    - join->best_ref      : might be partially reordered

    The final optimal plan is stored in 'join->best_positions', and its
    corresponding cost in 'join->best_read'.

  @note
    The following pseudocode describes the algorithm of 'greedy_search':

    @code
    procedure greedy_search
    input: remaining_tables
    output: pplan;
    {
      pplan = <>;
      do {
        (t, a) = best_extension(pplan, remaining_tables);
        pplan = concat(pplan, (t, a));
        remaining_tables = remaining_tables - t;
      } while (remaining_tables != {})
      return pplan;
    }

  @endcode
    where 'best_extension' is a placeholder for a procedure that selects the
    most "promising" of all tables in 'remaining_tables'.
    Currently this estimate is performed by calling
    'best_extension_by_limited_search' to evaluate all extensions of the
    current QEP of size 'search_depth', thus the complexity of 'greedy_search'
    mainly depends on that of 'best_extension_by_limited_search'.

  @par
    If 'best_extension()' == 'best_extension_by_limited_search()', then the
    worst-case complexity of this algorithm is <=
    O(N*N^search_depth/search_depth). When serch_depth >= N, then the
    complexity of greedy_search is O(N!).

  @par
    In the future, 'greedy_search' might be extended to support other
    implementations of 'best_extension', e.g. some simpler quadratic procedure.

/**
  Find a good, possibly optimal, query execution plan (QEP) by a possibly
  exhaustive search.

    The procedure searches for the optimal ordering of the query tables in set
    'remaining_tables' of size N, and the corresponding optimal access paths to
    each table. The choice of a table order and an access path for each table
    constitutes a query execution plan (QEP) that fully specifies how to
    execute the query.
   
    The maximal size of the found plan is controlled by the parameter
    'search_depth'. When search_depth == N, the resulting plan is complete and
    can be used directly as a QEP. If search_depth < N, the found plan consists
    of only some of the query tables. Such "partial" optimal plans are useful
    only as input to query optimization procedures, and cannot be used directly
    to execute a query.

    The algorithm begins with an empty partial plan stored in 'join->positions'
    and a set of N tables - 'remaining_tables'. Each step of the algorithm
    evaluates the cost of the partial plan extended by all access plans for
    each of the relations in 'remaining_tables', expands the current partial
    plan with the access plan that results in lowest cost of the expanded
    partial plan, and removes the corresponding relation from
    'remaining_tables'. The algorithm continues until it either constructs a
    complete optimal plan, or constructs an optimal plartial plan with size =
    search_depth.

    The final optimal plan is stored in 'join->best_positions'. The
    corresponding cost of the optimal plan is in 'join->best_read'.

  @note
    The procedure uses a recursive depth-first search where the depth of the
    recursion (and thus the exhaustiveness of the search) is controlled by the
    parameter 'search_depth'.

  @note
    The pseudocode below describes the algorithm of
    'best_extension_by_limited_search'. The worst-case complexity of this
    algorithm is O(N*N^search_depth/search_depth). When serch_depth >= N, then
    the complexity of greedy_search is O(N!).

    procedure best_extension_by_limited_search(

      remaining_tables,     // in, set of tables not referenced in pplan
      best_plan_so_far,     // in/out, best plan found so far

    heuristic (controlled by the parameter 'prune_level') to reduce the search

/*
  Get the number of different row combinations for subset of partial join

  SYNOPSIS
    prev_record_reads()
      join       The join structure
      idx        Number of tables in the partial join order (i.e. the
                 partial join order is in join->positions[0..idx-1])
      found_ref  Bitmap of tables for which we need to find # of distinct
                 row combinations.

  DESCRIPTION
    Given a partial join order (in join->positions[0..idx-1]) and a subset of
    tables within that join order (specified in found_ref), find out how many
    distinct row combinations of subset tables will be in the result of the
    partial join order.
     
    This is used as follows: Suppose we have a table accessed with a ref-based
    method. The ref access depends on current rows of tables in found_ref.
    We want to count # of different ref accesses. We assume two ref accesses
    will be different if at least one of access parameters is different.
    Example: consider a query

    SELECT * FROM t1, t2, t3 WHERE t1.key=c1 AND t2.key=c2 AND t3.key=t1.field

    and a join order:
      t1,  ref access on t1.key=c1
      t2,  ref access on t2.key=c2       
      t3,  ref access on t3.key=t1.field 
    
    For t1: n_ref_scans = 1, n_distinct_ref_scans = 1
    For t2: n_ref_scans = records_read(t1), n_distinct_ref_scans=1
    For t3: n_ref_scans = records_read(t1)*records_read(t2)
            n_distinct_ref_scans = #records_read(t1)
    
    The reason for having this function (at least the latest version of it)
    is that we need to account for buffering in join execution. 
    
    An edge-case example: if we have a non-first table in join accessed via
    ref(const) or ref(param) where there is a small number of different
    values of param, then the access will likely hit the disk cache and will
    not require any disk seeks.
    
    The proper solution would be to assume an LRU disk cache of some size,
    calculate probability of cache hits, etc. For now we just count
    identical ref accesses as one.

  RETURN 
    Expected number of row combinations

        For the case of "t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON ..." where t2 is a const table

        Actually the size of output is one null-complemented row, therefore 
        we will use value of 1 whenever we get records_read==0.

        Note
        - the above case can't occur if inner part of outer join has more 
          than one table: table with no matches will not be marked as const.

        - Ideally we should add 1 to records_read for every possible null-
          complemented row. We're not doing it because: 1. it will require
          non-trivial code and add overhead. 2. The value of records_read
          is an inprecise estimate and adding 1 (or, in the worst case,
          #max_nested_outer_joins=64-1) will not make it any more precise.

/**
  Add to join_tab->select_cond[i] "table.field IS NOT NULL" conditions
  we've inferred from ref/eq_ref access performed.

    This function is a part of "Early NULL-values filtering for ref access"
    optimization.

    Example of this optimization:
    For query SELECT * FROM t1,t2 WHERE t2.key=t1.field @n
    and plan " any-access(t1), ref(t2.key=t1.field) " @n
    add "t1.field IS NOT NULL" to t1's table condition. @n

    Description of the optimization:
    
      We look through equalities choosen to perform ref/eq_ref access,
      pick equalities that have form "tbl.part_of_key = othertbl.field"
      (where othertbl is a non-const table and othertbl.field may be NULL)
      and add them to conditions on correspoding tables (othertbl in this
      example).

      Exception from that is the case when referred_tab->join != join.
      I.e. don't add NOT NULL constraints from any embedded subquery.
      Consider this query:
      @code
      SELECT A.f2 FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 A ON A.f2 = f1
      WHERE A.f3=(SELECT MIN(f3) FROM  t2 C WHERE A.f4 = C.f4) OR A.f3 IS NULL;
      @endocde
      Here condition A.f3 IS NOT NULL is going to be added to the WHERE
      condition of the embedding query.
      Another example:
      SELECT * FROM t10, t11 WHERE (t10.a < 10 OR t10.a IS NULL)
      AND t11.b <=> t10.b AND (t11.a = (SELECT MAX(a) FROM t12
      WHERE t12.b = t10.a ));
      Here condition t10.a IS NOT NULL is going to be added.
      In both cases addition of NOT NULL condition will erroneously reject
      some rows of the result set.
      referred_tab->join != join constraint would disallow such additions.

      This optimization doesn't affect the choices that ref, range, or join
      optimizer make. This was intentional because this was added after 4.1
      was GA.
      
    Implementation overview
      1. update_ref_and_keys() accumulates info about null-rejecting
         predicates in in KEY_FIELD::null_rejecting
      1.1 add_key_part saves these to KEYUSE.
      2. create_ref_for_key copies them to TABLE_REF.
      3. add_not_null_conds adds "x IS NOT NULL" to join_tab->select_cond of
         appropiate JOIN_TAB members.

/**
  Fill in outer join related info for the execution plan structure.

    For each outer join operation left after simplification of the
    original query the function set up the following pointers in the linear
    structure join->join_tab representing the selected execution plan.
    The first inner table t0 for the operation is set to refer to the last
    inner table tk through the field t0->last_inner.
    Any inner table ti for the operation are set to refer to the first
    inner table ti->first_inner.
    The first inner table t0 for the operation is set to refer to the
    first inner table of the embedding outer join operation, if there is any,
    through the field t0->first_upper.
    The on expression for the outer join operation is attached to the
    corresponding first inner table through the field t0->on_expr_ref.
    Here ti are structures of the JOIN_TAB type.

  EXAMPLE. For the query: 
  @code
        SELECT * FROM t1
                      LEFT JOIN
                      (t2, t3 LEFT JOIN t4 ON t3.a=t4.a)
                      ON (t1.a=t2.a AND t1.b=t3.b)
          WHERE t1.c > 5,
  @endcode

    given the execution plan with the table order t1,t2,t3,t4
    is selected, the following references will be set;
    t4->last_inner=[t4], t4->first_inner=[t4], t4->first_upper=[t2]
    t2->last_inner=[t4], t2->first_inner=t3->first_inner=[t2],
    on expression (t1.a=t2.a AND t1.b=t3.b) will be attached to 
    *t2->on_expr_ref, while t3.a=t4.a will be attached to *t4->on_expr_ref.

  @param join   reference to the info fully describing the query

  @note
    The function assumes that the simplification procedure has been
    already applied to the join query (see simplify_joins).
    This function can be called only after the execution plan
    has been chosen.

/**
  Partially cleanup JOIN after it has executed: close index or rnd read
  (table cursors), free quick selects.

    This function is called in the end of execution of a JOIN, before the used
    tables are unlocked and closed.

    For a join that is resolved using a temporary table, the first sweep is
    performed against actual tables and an intermediate result is inserted
    into the temprorary table.
    The last sweep is performed against the temporary table. Therefore,
    the base tables and associated buffers used to fill the temporary table
    are no longer needed, and this function is called to free them.

    For a join that is performed without a temporary table, this function
    is called after all rows are sent, but before EOF packet is sent.

    For a simple SELECT with no subqueries this function performs a full
    cleanup of the JOIN and calls mysql_unlock_read_tables to free used base
    tables.

    If a JOIN is executed for a subquery or if it has a subquery, we can't
    do the full cleanup and need to do a partial cleanup only.
    - If a JOIN is not the top level join, we must not unlock the tables
    because the outer select may not have been evaluated yet, and we
    can't unlock only selected tables of a query.
    - Additionally, if this JOIN corresponds to a correlated subquery, we
    should not free quick selects and join buffers because they will be
    needed for the next execution of the correlated subquery.
    - However, if this is a JOIN for a [sub]select, which is not
    a correlated subquery itself, but has subqueries, we can free it
    fully and also free JOINs of all its subqueries. The exception
    is a subquery in SELECT list, e.g: @n
    SELECT a, (select max(b) from t1) group by c @n
    This subquery will not be evaluated at first sweep and its value will
    not be inserted into the temporary table. Instead, it's evaluated
    when selecting from the temporary table. Therefore, it can't be freed
    here even though it's not correlated.

  @todo
    Unlock tables even if the join isn't top level select in the tree

/**
  Check whether an equality can be used to build multiple equalities.

    This function first checks whether the equality (left_item=right_item)
    is a simple equality i.e. the one that equates a field with another field
    or a constant (field=field_item or field=const_item).
    If this is the case the function looks for a multiple equality
    in the lists referenced directly or indirectly by cond_equal inferring
    the given simple equality. If it doesn't find any, it builds a multiple
    equality that covers the predicate, i.e. the predicate can be inferred
    from this multiple equality.
    The built multiple equality could be obtained in such a way:
    create a binary  multiple equality equivalent to the predicate, then
    merge it, if possible, with one of old multiple equalities.
    This guarantees that the set of multiple equalities covering equality
    predicates will be minimal.

  EXAMPLE:
    For the where condition
    @code
      WHERE a=b AND b=c AND
            (b=2 OR f=e)
    @endcode
    the check_equality will be called for the following equality
    predicates a=b, b=c, b=2 and f=e.
    - For a=b it will be called with *cond_equal=(0,[]) and will transform
      *cond_equal into (0,[Item_equal(a,b)]). 
    - For b=c it will be called with *cond_equal=(0,[Item_equal(a,b)])
      and will transform *cond_equal into CE=(0,[Item_equal(a,b,c)]).
    - For b=2 it will be called with *cond_equal=(ptr(CE),[])
      and will transform *cond_equal into (ptr(CE),[Item_equal(2,a,b,c)]).
    - For f=e it will be called with *cond_equal=(ptr(CE), [])
      and will transform *cond_equal into (ptr(CE),[Item_equal(f,e)]).

  @note
    Now only fields that have the same type definitions (verified by
    the Field::eq_def method) are placed to the same multiple equalities.
    Because of this some equality predicates are not eliminated and
    can be used in the constant propagation procedure.
    We could weeken the equlity test as soon as at least one of the 
    equal fields is to be equal to a constant. It would require a 
    more complicated implementation: we would have to store, in
    general case, its own constant for each fields from the multiple
    equality. But at the same time it would allow us to get rid
    of constant propagation completely: it would be done by the call
    to build_equal_items_for_cond.


    The implementation does not follow exactly the above rules to
    build a new multiple equality for the equality predicate.
    If it processes the equality of the form field1=field2, it
    looks for multiple equalities me1 containig field1 and me2 containing
    field2. If only one of them is found the fuction expands it with
    the lacking field. If multiple equalities for both fields are
    found they are merged. If both searches fail a new multiple equality
    containing just field1 and field2 is added to the existing
    multiple equalities.
    If the function processes the predicate of the form field1=const,
    it looks for a multiple equality containing field1. If found, the 
    function checks the constant of the multiple equality. If the value
    is unknown, it is setup to const. Otherwise the value is compared with
    const and the evaluation of the equality predicate is performed.
    When expanding/merging equality predicates from the upper levels
    the function first copies them for the current level. It looks
    acceptable, as this happens rarely. The implementation without
    copying would be much more complicated.

/**
  Replace all equality predicates in a condition by multiple equality items.

    At each 'and' level the function detects items for equality predicates
    and replaced them by a set of multiple equality items of class Item_equal,
    taking into account inherited equalities from upper levels. 
    If an equality predicate is used not in a conjunction it's just
    replaced by a multiple equality predicate.
    For each 'and' level the function set a pointer to the inherited
    multiple equalities in the cond_equal field of the associated
    object of the type Item_cond_and.   
    The function also traverses the cond tree and and for each field reference
    sets a pointer to the multiple equality item containing the field, if there
    is any. If this multiple equality equates fields to a constant the
    function replaces the field reference by the constant in the cases 
    when the field is not of a string type or when the field reference is
    just an argument of a comparison predicate.
    The function also determines the maximum number of members in 
    equality lists of each Item_cond_and object assigning it to
    thd->lex->current_select->max_equal_elems.

  @note
    Multiple equality predicate =(f1,..fn) is equivalent to the conjuction of
    f1=f2, .., fn-1=fn. It substitutes any inference from these
    equality predicates that is equivalent to the conjunction.
    Thus, =(a1,a2,a3) can substitute for ((a1=a3) AND (a2=a3) AND (a2=a1)) as
    it is equivalent to ((a1=a2) AND (a2=a3)).
    The function always makes a substitution of all equality predicates occured
    in a conjuction for a minimal set of multiple equality predicates.
    This set can be considered as a canonical representation of the
    sub-conjunction of the equality predicates.
    E.g. (t1.a=t2.b AND t2.b>5 AND t1.a=t3.c) is replaced by 
    (=(t1.a,t2.b,t3.c) AND t2.b>5), not by
    (=(t1.a,t2.b) AND =(t1.a,t3.c) AND t2.b>5);
    while (t1.a=t2.b AND t2.b>5 AND t3.c=t4.d) is replaced by
    (=(t1.a,t2.b) AND =(t3.c=t4.d) AND t2.b>5),
    but if additionally =(t4.d,t2.b) is inherited, it
    will be replaced by (=(t1.a,t2.b,t3.c,t4.d) AND t2.b>5)

    The function performs the substitution in a recursive descent by
    the condtion tree, passing to the next AND level a chain of multiple
    equality predicates which have been built at the upper levels.
    The Item_equal items built at the level are attached to other 
    non-equality conjucts as a sublist. The pointer to the inherited
    multiple equalities is saved in the and condition object (Item_cond_and).
    This chain allows us for any field reference occurence easyly to find a 
    multiple equality that must be held for this occurence.
    For each AND level we do the following:
    - scan it for all equality predicate (=) items
    - join them into disjoint Item_equal() groups
    - process the included OR conditions recursively to do the same for 
      lower AND levels. 

    We need to do things in this order as lower AND levels need to know about
    all possible Item_equal objects in upper levels.

/**
  Build multiple equalities for a condition and all on expressions that
  inherit these multiple equalities.

    The function first applies the build_equal_items_for_cond function
    to build all multiple equalities for condition cond utilizing equalities
    referred through the parameter inherited. The extended set of
    equalities is returned in the structure referred by the cond_equal_ref
    parameter. After this the function calls itself recursively for
    all on expressions whose direct references can be found in join_list
    and who inherit directly the multiple equalities just having built.

  @note
    The on expression used in an outer join operation inherits all equalities
    from the on expression of the embedding join, if there is any, or
    otherwise - from the where condition.
    This fact is not obvious, but presumably can be proved.
    Consider the following query:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM (t1,t2) LEFT JOIN (t3,t4) ON t1.a=t3.a AND t2.a=t4.a
        WHERE t1.a=t2.a;
    @endcode
    If the on expression in the query inherits =(t1.a,t2.a), then we
    can build the multiple equality =(t1.a,t2.a,t3.a,t4.a) that infers
    the equality t3.a=t4.a. Although the on expression
    t1.a=t3.a AND t2.a=t4.a AND t3.a=t4.a is not equivalent to the one
    in the query the latter can be replaced by the former: the new query
    will return the same result set as the original one.

    Interesting that multiple equality =(t1.a,t2.a,t3.a,t4.a) allows us
    to use t1.a=t3.a AND t3.a=t4.a under the on condition:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM (t1,t2) LEFT JOIN (t3,t4) ON t1.a=t3.a AND t3.a=t4.a
        WHERE t1.a=t2.a
    @endcode
    This query equivalent to:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM (t1 LEFT JOIN (t3,t4) ON t1.a=t3.a AND t3.a=t4.a),t2
        WHERE t1.a=t2.a
    @endcode
    Similarly the original query can be rewritten to the query:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM (t1,t2) LEFT JOIN (t3,t4) ON t2.a=t4.a AND t3.a=t4.a
        WHERE t1.a=t2.a
    @endcode
    that is equivalent to:   
    @code
      SELECT * FROM (t2 LEFT JOIN (t3,t4)ON t2.a=t4.a AND t3.a=t4.a), t1
        WHERE t1.a=t2.a
    @endcode
    Thus, applying equalities from the where condition we basically
    can get more freedom in performing join operations.
    Althogh we don't use this property now, it probably makes sense to use 
    it in the future.

  Generate minimal set of simple equalities equivalent to a multiple equality.

    The function retrieves the fields of the multiple equality item

  @param cond            condition to add the generated equality to
  @param upper_levels    structure to access multiple equality of upper levels
  @param item_equal      multiple equality to generate simple equality from

  @note
    Before generating an equality function checks that it has not
    been generated for multiple equalities of the upper levels.
    E.g. for the following where condition
    WHERE a=5 AND ((a=b AND b=c) OR  c>4)
    the upper level AND condition will contain =(5,a),
    while the lower level AND condition will contain =(5,a,b,c).
    When splitting =(5,a,b,c) into a separate equality predicates
    we should omit 5=a, as we have it already in the upper level.
    The following where condition gives us a more complicated case:
    WHERE t1.a=t2.b AND t3.c=t4.d AND (t2.b=t3.c OR t4.e>5 ...) AND ...
    Given the tables are accessed in the order t1->t2->t3->t4 for
    the selected query execution plan the lower level multiple
    equality =(t1.a,t2.b,t3.c,t4.d) formally  should be converted to
    t1.a=t2.b AND t1.a=t3.c AND t1.a=t4.d. But t1.a=t2.a will be
    generated for the upper level. Also t3.c=t4.d will be generated there.
    So only t1.a=t3.c should be left in the lower level.
    If cond is equal to 0, then not more then one equality is generated
    and a pointer to it is returned as the result of the function.

  @return
    - The condition with generated simple equalities or
    a pointer to the simple generated equality, if success.
    - 0, otherwise.

/**
  Simplify joins replacing outer joins by inner joins whenever it's
  possible.

    The function, during a retrieval of join_list,  eliminates those
    outer joins that can be converted into inner join, possibly nested.
    It also moves the on expressions for the converted outer joins
    and from inner joins to conds.
    The function also calculates some attributes for nested joins:
    - used_tables    
    - not_null_tables
    - dep_tables.
    - on_expr_dep_tables
    The first two attributes are used to test whether an outer join can
    be substituted for an inner join. The third attribute represents the
    relation 'to be dependent on' for tables. If table t2 is dependent
    on table t1, then in any evaluated execution plan table access to
    table t2 must precede access to table t2. This relation is used also
    to check whether the query contains  invalid cross-references.
    The forth attribute is an auxiliary one and is used to calculate
    dep_tables.
    As the attribute dep_tables qualifies possibles orders of tables in the
    execution plan, the dependencies required by the straight join
    modifiers are reflected in this attribute as well.
    The function also removes all braces that can be removed from the join
    expression without changing its meaning.

  @note
    An outer join can be replaced by an inner join if the where condition
    or the on expression for an embedding nested join contains a conjunctive
    predicate rejecting null values for some attribute of the inner tables.

    E.g. in the query:    
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.a=t1.a WHERE t2.b < 5
    @endcode
    the predicate t2.b < 5 rejects nulls.
    The query is converted first to:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t2.a=t1.a WHERE t2.b < 5
    @endcode
    then to the equivalent form:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1, t2 ON t2.a=t1.a WHERE t2.b < 5 AND t2.a=t1.a
    @endcode


    Similarly the following query:
    @code
      SELECT * from t1 LEFT JOIN (t2, t3) ON t2.a=t1.a t3.b=t1.b
        WHERE t2.c < 5  
    @endcode
    is converted to:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1, (t2, t3) WHERE t2.c < 5 AND t2.a=t1.a t3.b=t1.b 

    @endcode

    One conversion might trigger another:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.a=t1.a
                       LEFT JOIN t3 ON t3.b=t2.b
        WHERE t3 IS NOT NULL =>
      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.a=t1.a, t3
        WHERE t3 IS NOT NULL AND t3.b=t2.b => 
      SELECT * FROM t1, t2, t3
        WHERE t3 IS NOT NULL AND t3.b=t2.b AND t2.a=t1.a
  @endcode

    The function removes all unnecessary braces from the expression
    produced by the conversions.
    E.g.
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1, (t2, t3) WHERE t2.c < 5 AND t2.a=t1.a AND t3.b=t1.b
    @endcode
    finally is converted to: 
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1, t2, t3 WHERE t2.c < 5 AND t2.a=t1.a AND t3.b=t1.b

    @endcode


    It also will remove braces from the following queries:
    @code
      SELECT * from (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.a=t1.a) LEFT JOIN t3 ON t3.b=t2.b
      SELECT * from (t1, (t2,t3)) WHERE t1.a=t2.a AND t2.b=t3.b.
    @endcode

    The benefit of this simplification procedure is that it might return 
    a query for which the optimizer can evaluate execution plan with more
    join orders. With a left join operation the optimizer does not
    consider any plan where one of the inner tables is before some of outer
    tables.


    The function is implemented by a recursive procedure.  On the recursive
    ascent all attributes are calculated, all outer joins that can be
    converted are replaced and then all unnecessary braces are removed.
    As join list contains join tables in the reverse order sequential
    elimination of outer joins does not require extra recursive calls.

    Here is an example of a join query with invalid cross references:
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.a=t3.a LEFT JOIN t3 ON t3.b=t1.b 
    @endcode

  @param join        reference to the query info
  @param join_list   list representation of the join to be converted
  @param conds       conditions to add on expressions for converted joins
  @param top         true <=> conds is the where condition

  @return
    - The new condition, if success
    - 0, otherwise

/**
  Check interleaving with an inner tables of an outer join for
  extension table.

    Check if table next_tab can be added to current partial join order, and 
    if yes, record that it has been added.

    The function assumes that both current partial join order and its
    extension with next_tab are valid wrt table dependencies.

  @verbatim
     IMPLEMENTATION 
       LIMITATIONS ON JOIN ORDER
         The nested [outer] joins executioner algorithm imposes these limitations
         on join order:
         1. "Outer tables first" -  any "outer" table must be before any 
             corresponding "inner" table.
         2. "No interleaving" - tables inside a nested join must form a continuous
            sequence in join order (i.e. the sequence must not be interrupted by 
            tables that are outside of this nested join).

         #1 is checked elsewhere, this function checks #2 provided that #1 has
         been already checked.

       WHY NEED NON-INTERLEAVING
         Consider an example: 

           select * from t0 join t1 left join (t2 join t3) on cond1

         The join order "t1 t2 t0 t3" is invalid:

         table t0 is outside of the nested join, so WHERE condition for t0 is
         attached directly to t0 (without triggers, and it may be used to access
         t0). Applying WHERE(t0) to (t2,t0,t3) record is invalid as we may miss
         combinations of (t1, t2, t3) that satisfy condition cond1, and produce a
         null-complemented (t1, t2.NULLs, t3.NULLs) row, which should not have
         been produced.

         If table t0 is not between t2 and t3, the problem doesn't exist:
          If t0 is located after (t2,t3), WHERE(t0) is applied after nested join
           processing has finished.
          If t0 is located before (t2,t3), predicates like WHERE_cond(t0, t2) are
           wrapped into condition triggers, which takes care of correct nested
           join processing.

       HOW IT IS IMPLEMENTED
         The limitations on join order can be rephrased as follows: for valid
         join order one must be able to:
           1. write down the used tables in the join order on one line.
           2. for each nested join, put one '(' and one ')' on the said line        
           3. write "LEFT JOIN" and "ON (...)" where appropriate
           4. get a query equivalent to the query we're trying to execute.

         Calls to check_interleaving_with_nj() are equivalent to writing the
         above described line from left to right. 
         A single check_interleaving_with_nj(A,B) call is equivalent to writing 
         table B and appropriate brackets on condition that table A and
         appropriate brackets is the last what was written. Graphically the
         transition is as follows:

                              +---- current position
                              |
             ... last_tab ))) | ( next_tab )  )..) | ...
                                X          Y   Z   |
                                                   +- need to move to this
                                                      position.

         Notes about the position:
           The caller guarantees that there is no more then one X-bracket by 
           checking "!(remaining_tables & s->dependent)" before calling this 
           function. X-bracket may have a pair in Y-bracket.

         When "writing" we store/update this auxilary info about the current
         position:
          1. join->cur_embedding_map - bitmap of pairs of brackets (aka nested
             joins) we've opened but didn't close.
          2. {each NESTED_JOIN structure not simplified away}->counter - number
             of this nested join's children that have already been added to to
             the partial join order.
  @endverbatim

  @param next_tab   Table we're going to extend the current partial join with

  @retval
    FALSE  Join order extended, nested joins info about current join

  SYNOPSIS
    test_if_equality_guarantees_uniqueness()
      l          the left comparison argument (a field if any)
      r          the right comparison argument (a const of any)
  
  DESCRIPTION    
    Checks if an equality predicate can be used to take away 
    DISTINCT/GROUP BY because it is known to be true for exactly one 
    distinct value (e.g. <expr> == <const>).
    Arguments must be of the same type because e.g. 
    <string_field> = <int_const> may match more than 1 distinct value from 
    the column. 
    We must take into consideration and the optimization done for various 
    string constants when compared to dates etc (see Item_int_with_ref) as
    well as the collation of the arguments.
  
  RETURN VALUE  
    TRUE    can be used
    FALSE   cannot be used

/**
  Retrieve records ends with a given beginning from the result of a join.

    For a given partial join record consisting of records from the tables 
    preceding the table join_tab in the execution plan, the function
    retrieves all matching full records from the result set and
    send them to the result set stream. 

  @note
    The function effectively implements the  final (n-k) nested loops
    of nested loops join algorithm, where k is the ordinal number of
    the join_tab table and n is the total number of tables in the join query.
    It performs nested loops joins with all conjunctive predicates from
    the where condition pushed as low to the tables as possible.
    E.g. for the query
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1,t2,t3
      WHERE t1.a=t2.a AND t2.b=t3.b AND t1.a BETWEEN 5 AND 9
    @endcode
    the predicate (t1.a BETWEEN 5 AND 9) will be pushed to table t1,
    given the selected plan prescribes to nest retrievals of the
    joined tables in the following order: t1,t2,t3.
    A pushed down predicate are attached to the table which it pushed to,
    at the field join_tab->select_cond.
    When executing a nested loop of level k the function runs through
    the rows of 'join_tab' and for each row checks the pushed condition
    attached to the table.
    If it is false the function moves to the next row of the
    table. If the condition is true the function recursively executes (n-k-1)
    remaining embedded nested loops.
    The situation becomes more complicated if outer joins are involved in
    the execution plan. In this case the pushed down predicates can be
    checked only at certain conditions.
    Suppose for the query
    @code
      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (t2,t3) ON t3.a=t1.a
      WHERE t1>2 AND (t2.b>5 OR t2.b IS NULL)
    @endcode
    the optimizer has chosen a plan with the table order t1,t2,t3.
    The predicate P1=t1>2 will be pushed down to the table t1, while the
    predicate P2=(t2.b>5 OR t2.b IS NULL) will be attached to the table
    t2. But the second predicate can not be unconditionally tested right
    after a row from t2 has been read. This can be done only after the
    first row with t3.a=t1.a has been encountered.
    Thus, the second predicate P2 is supplied with a guarded value that are
    stored in the field 'found' of the first inner table for the outer join
    (table t2). When the first row with t3.a=t1.a for the  current row 
    of table t1  appears, the value becomes true. For now on the predicate
    is evaluated immediately after the row of table t2 has been read.
    When the first row with t3.a=t1.a has been encountered all
    conditions attached to the inner tables t2,t3 must be evaluated.
    Only when all of them are true the row is sent to the output stream.
    If not, the function returns to the lowest nest level that has a false
    attached condition.
    The predicates from on expressions are also pushed down. If in the 
    the above example the on expression were (t3.a=t1.a AND t2.a=t1.a),
    then t1.a=t2.a would be pushed down to table t2, and without any
    guard.
    If after the run through all rows of table t2, the first inner table
    for the outer join operation, it turns out that no matches are
    found for the current row of t1, then current row from table t1
    is complemented by nulls  for t2 and t3. Then the pushed down predicates
    are checked for the composed row almost in the same way as it had
    been done for the first row with a match. The only difference is
    the predicates from on expressions are not checked. 

  @par
  @b IMPLEMENTATION
  @par
    The function forms output rows for a current partial join of k
    tables tables recursively.
    For each partial join record ending with a certain row from
    join_tab it calls sub_select that builds all possible matching
    tails from the result set.
    To be able  check predicates conditionally items of the class
    Item_func_trig_cond are employed.
    An object of  this class is constructed from an item of class COND
    and a pointer to a guarding boolean variable.
    When the value of the guard variable is true the value of the object
    is the same as the value of the predicate, otherwise it's just returns
    true. 
    To carry out a return to a nested loop level of join table t the pointer 
    to t is remembered in the field 'return_tab' of the join structure.
    Consider the following query:
    @code
        SELECT * FROM t1,
                      LEFT JOIN
                      (t2, t3 LEFT JOIN (t4,t5) ON t5.a=t3.a)
                      ON t4.a=t2.a
           WHERE (t2.b=5 OR t2.b IS NULL) AND (t4.b=2 OR t4.b IS NULL)
    @endcode
    Suppose the chosen execution plan dictates the order t1,t2,t3,t4,t5
    and suppose for a given joined rows from tables t1,t2,t3 there are
    no rows in the result set yet.
    When first row from t5 that satisfies the on condition
    t5.a=t3.a is found, the pushed down predicate t4.b=2 OR t4.b IS NULL
    becomes 'activated', as well the predicate t4.a=t2.a. But
    the predicate (t2.b=5 OR t2.b IS NULL) can not be checked until
    t4.a=t2.a becomes true. 
    In order not to re-evaluate the predicates that were already evaluated
    as attached pushed down predicates, a pointer to the the first
    most inner unmatched table is maintained in join_tab->first_unmatched.
    Thus, when the first row from t5 with t5.a=t3.a is found
    this pointer for t5 is changed from t4 to t2.             

    @par
    @b STRUCTURE @b NOTES

/*****************************************************************************
  DESCRIPTION
    Functions that end one nested loop iteration. Different functions
    are used to support GROUP BY clause and to redirect records
    to a table (e.g. in case of SELECT into a temporary table) or to the
    network client.

  RETURN VALUES
    NESTED_LOOP_OK           - the record has been successfully handled
    NESTED_LOOP_ERROR        - a fatal error (like table corruption)
                               was detected
    NESTED_LOOP_KILLED       - thread shutdown was requested while processing
                               the record
    NESTED_LOOP_QUERY_LIMIT  - the record has been successfully handled;
                               additionally, the nested loop produced the
                               number of rows specified in the LIMIT clause
                               for the query
    NESTED_LOOP_CURSOR_LIMIT - the record has been successfully handled;
                               additionally, there is a cursor and the nested
                               loop algorithm produced the number of rows
                               that is specified for current cursor fetch
                               operation.
   All return values except NESTED_LOOP_OK abort the nested loop.

/*
  If not selecting by given key, create an index how records should be read

  SYNOPSIS
   create_sort_index()
     thd		Thread handler
     tab		Table to sort (in join structure)
     order		How table should be sorted
     filesort_limit	Max number of rows that needs to be sorted
     select_limit	Max number of rows in final output
		        Used to decide if we should use index or not
     is_order_by        true if we are sorting on ORDER BY, false if GROUP BY
                        Used to decide if we should use index or not     


  IMPLEMENTATION
   - If there is an index that can be used, 'tab' is modified to use
     this index.
   - If no index, create with filesort() an index file that can be used to
     retrieve rows in order (should be done with 'read_record').
     The sorted data is stored in tab->table and will be freed when calling
     free_io_cache(tab->table).

  RETURN VALUES
    0		ok
    -1		Some fatal error
    1		No records

  Resolve an ORDER BY or GROUP BY column reference.

  Given a column reference (represented by 'order') from a GROUP BY or ORDER
  BY clause, find the actual column it represents. If the column being
  resolved is from the GROUP BY clause, the procedure searches the SELECT
  list 'fields' and the columns in the FROM list 'tables'. If 'order' is from
  the ORDER BY clause, only the SELECT list is being searched.

  If 'order' is resolved to an Item, then order->item is set to the found
  Item. If there is no item for the found column (that is, it was resolved
  into a table field), order->item is 'fixed' and is added to all_fields and

/**
  Replace occurences of group by fields in an expression by ref items.

  The function replaces occurrences of group by fields in expr
  by ref objects for these fields unless they are under aggregate
  functions.
  The function also corrects value of the the maybe_null attribute
  for the items of all subexpressions containing group by fields.

  @b EXAMPLES
    @code
      SELECT a+1 FROM t1 GROUP BY a WITH ROLLUP
      SELECT SUM(a)+a FROM t1 GROUP BY a WITH ROLLUP 
  @endcode

  @b IMPLEMENTATION

    The function recursively traverses the tree of the expr expression,
    looks for occurrences of the group by fields that are not under
    aggregate functions and replaces them for the corresponding ref items.

  @note
    This substitution is needed GROUP BY queries with ROLLUP if
    SELECT list contains expressions over group by attributes.

  @param thd                  reference to the context
  @param expr                 expression to make replacement
  @param group_list           list of references to group by items
  @param changed        out:  returns 1 if item contains a replaced field item

  @todo
    - TODO: Some functions are not null-preserving. For those functions
    updating of the maybe_null attribute is an overkill.
