Review: Part 2 of 3: MWL#90 combined patch for review

 

Hi!

Part 2 (of 3)

Sorry got guests for birthday party that I have to make food for, so I
have to finnish the last part on Sunday.

Is it possible that the new start_tab also have bush_childrens or is
this a case for if (prev_cache).  If it's the later (conclusion we
took on IRC), move the if to the first if part.

To make this clear, add at end:
DBUG_ASSERT(!start_tab->bush_children);

Above code is a simpler if you use start_tab in all the places and
only last set tab= start_tab

Remove psgergey-note and do a proper comment before the goto.

an 'else' is missing here.

Please spend a short time trying to create a test case that catches
this bug, as it will ensure that this part of the code is properly
tested...

This is a big change that causes a lot of code to be re-indented which
will cause merge conflicts.  The above also exposes a little too much
how the tables are organized.

Please replace loop with either:

for (tab= first_linear_tab(...) ; tab ; tab= next_linear_tab(...))

Or add a set of similar functions to loop over join_tab_ranges:
This also simplifies the usage of-

Did not understand the above change as const tables should still be
first in join_tab[] and all tables in 'table' should have a
correspoding join_tab element.  The fact that we added some sjm
tables, should not change this, should it?

After discussion on IRC:

There is no mapping between join->join_tab[] and join->table[]
anymore.  join->table contains all 'real tables' while join_tab also
contains sjm (materialized) tables.

This makes me worried that one may accidently use 'join->tables'
wrongly when they mean join->top_jtrange_tables.

Suggestion.

Rename join->tables to 'join->real_tables'
Rename join->top_jtrange_tables to 'join->join_tab_tables'
or
Rename join->tables to 'join->table_count'
Rename join->top_jtrange_tables to 'join->join_tab_count'

Add comment:

If one is scanning with include_bush_roots, subquent calls to
next_linear_tab() will return:

When include_bush_rooots=FALSE we get:

Here is the above function with more comments and I moved the
bush_root_tab handling into one place

JOIN_TAB *next_linear_tab(JOIN* join, JOIN_TAB* tab, bool include_bush_roots)
{
  if (include_bush_roots && tab->bush_children)
  {
    /* This JOIN_TAB is a SJM nest; Start from first table in nest */
    return tab->bush_children->start;
  }

  DBUG_ASSERT(!tab->last_leaf_in_bush || tab->bush_root_tab);

  if (tab->bush_root_tab)       /* Are we inside an SJM nest */
  {
    /* Inside SJM nest */
    if (!tab->last_leaf_in_bush)
      return tab+1;              /* Return next in nest */
    /* Continue from the sjm on the top level */
    tab= tab->bush_root_tab;
  }

  /* If no more JOIN_TAB's on the top level */
  if (++tab == join->join_tab + join->top_jtrange_tables)
    return NULL;

  if (!include_bush_roots && tab->bush_children)
  {
    /* This JOIN_TAB is a SJM nest; Start from first table in nest */
    tab= tab->bush_children->start;
  }
  return tab;
}

Conclusion from IRC:

<spetrunia> if the caller intends to enumerate bush roots, too, then he starts from the first join_tab (that is an sjm)
<spetrunia> if the caller intends to skip bush roots, then its his responsibility to start from non-sjm
<spetrunia> Hm.. is suppose we could isolate the above logic in first_linear_tab() function
<spetrunia> because right now it's all over the place

<montywi> yes, that is confusing me a bit
<montywi> it would be good to always start with 'first linear_tab()' and then do next_linear_tab()
<montywi> and first_linear tab would also have the same include_bush_roots argument
<montywi> wouldn't that solve it?
<spetrunia> yes

Please change then the logic as above.

Replace with:

  if (tab == join->join_tab + join->top_jtrange_tables)

Because this is simpler and similar to the earlier test in same function

I think it's better to have a separate function for the first case as
it makes things faster and easier to understand:

JOIN_TAB *start_depth_first_tab(JOIN *join)
{
  JOIN_TAB* tab;
  if (join->const_tables == join->top_jtrange_tables)
    return NULL;
  tab= join->join_tab + join->const_tables;
  return (tab->bush_children) ? tab->bush_children->start : tab;

You can do this simpler by having sjm_saved_tab set to 0 at start and
reset to 0 when sjm_nest_end is set. This allows you to simple do:

       j->bush_root_tab= sjm_saved_tab;

Why set root_range->end here (and above) ?
Isn't it better to set this once end of loop ?
Becasue now you set it for every found sjm...

Why the above addition?
(Was not part of the original code)
Add at least a comment about this.

If you use my suggestion about simpliying setting of bush_root_tab
you should set sjm_save_tab to NULL here.

You can do:

top_jtrange_tables= table = 1;    /* We have only one table and one join_tab*/

To make things safe, change earlier:
      !(parent->join_tab_reexec= (JOIN_TAB*) thd->alloc(sizeof(JOIN_TAB))))
to
      !(parent->join_tab_reexec= (JOIN_TAB*) thd->calloc(sizeof(JOIN_TAB))))

To guarantee that all elements are 0

Please see if you can fix this to use first_linear_tab()
... next_linear_tab(join, tab, FALSE)) to not get another indentation
level (and simpler code)

Why remove the above?
(I can see that could be wrong as we don't know if embedding exists,
and it should at least be inside the if below, but why remove it?)

Please rename 'sj_inner_tables' to sj_inner_table_map' to make the
above a bit easier to read.

Also, as we spoke on phone that it would be good that after the WL is
done, you add some documentation also of the emb_sj_nest into the
comment of opt_subselect.c.

It would be good to have the whole tab->bush_children structure
documented in one place and how and why one should use JOIN_TAB to
connect to TABLE_LIST.  (The reason is that a goal should be that
after we have created JOIN_TAB we should never have to again refer to
TABLE_LIST objects and to reach this goal we need to understand how
things works now)
