DESCRIPTION:

Currently, DS-MRR doesn't support operation over clustered primary keys. The
reason for this was that
 - Clustered primary keys are stored in disk order and so, if the sequence of 
   ranges is ordered, the reads will already go in disk order (and so DS-MRR's
   step of re-ordering reads is not necessary).
 - Within DS-MRR implementation, the "get rowids from keys" step is not
   necessary when using clustered primary key, because in InnoDB/XtraDB 
   clustered primary key values are the rowids.

However, with BKA making the MRR calls, there are cases where DS-MRR over
clustered primary key is beneficial:

* BKA may provide lookup keys that have duplicates and/or are in arbitrary
  order. In that case, DS-MRR implementation may sort the key values and 
  order them, so that it hits the disk in key order.

* When running multi-table join with high @@join_cache_level value (and so,
  linked join buffers), lack of MRR implementation causes the chain of linked
  join buffers to break. (TODO and so what? Is that really a problem?)

* TODO anything else?


HIGH-LEVEL SPECIFICATION:



Basic idea: DS-MRR scan should be done as follows:

1. Sort incoming keys 
2. Use the sorted keys to do a disk-ordered retrieval

Unresolved questions:

* The "sort incoming keys" part is trivial when we have only equality ranges.
  If we allow ranges of arbitrary form ( including ranges with one endpoint 
  being infinity or ranges overlapping with one another), sorting becomes
  non-trivial. Do we need to support this case or support only equality ranges?

* Can/should we use the fact rowid=={clustered PK value} for InnoDB's clustered
  PKs? (current decision: No)

* Do we support scanning on a prefix of clustered PK? (Yes but scan on prefix 
  of clustered PK will not be in disk order. We need to run it with regular mode)
