[Maria-developers] questions about Maria
by MARK CALLAGHAN 02 Mar '09

Are checksums used for log pages? I did not see anything in ma_loghandler.c for this. Can I do a hot copy/backup of a table? That is can I copy the data and index files while transactions may be in progress for them and then replay log files to recover them? I prefer a FLUSH LOGS command that is limited to Maria not all things that might be considered a log in MySQL. Are there plans to provide more engine specific commands? What is the purpose of a 'Row checksum'? Comments in the code state that this uses 1 byte and another that it uses 4 bytes. How many bytes on disk are used? -- Mark Callaghan mdcallag(a)gmail.com

Guilhem> Is it because there is a Thread3 which did this freeing? No, the problem happens with only two threads. T1 one goes into the above code and creates a history entry that points to share->state_history. In checkpoint thread we will then execute the following code: _ma_remove_not_visible_states_with_lock(share, FALSE); Which uses share->state_history entry and may even free it. If free happens, we are likely to get a crash as history entry now points to freed memory. Regards, Monty
