QuickIndexMergeSelect uses * QuickRangeSelects to get rows * Unique class to remove duplicate rows INDEX MERGE OPTIMIZER Current implementation doesn't detect all cases where index_merge could be used, in particular: * index_merge will never be used if range scan is possible (even if range scan is more expensive) * index_merge+'using index' is not supported (this the consequence of the above restriction) * If WHERE part contains complex nested AND and OR conditions, some ways to retrieve rows using index_merge will not be considered. The choice of read plan may depend on the order of conjuncts/disjuncts in WHERE part of the query, see comments near imerge_list_or_list and SEL_IMERGE::or_sel_tree_with_checks functions for details. * There is no "index_merge_ref" method (but index_merge on non-first table in join is possible with 'range checked for each record'). See comments around SEL_IMERGE class and test_quick_select for more details. ROW RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM index_merge uses Unique class for duplicates removal. index_merge takes advantage of Clustered Primary Key (CPK) if the table has one. The index_merge algorithm consists of two phases: Phase 1 (implemented in QuickIndexMergeSelect::prepare_unique): prepare() { activate 'index only'; while(retrieve next row for non-CPK scan) { if (there is a CPK scan and row will be retrieved by it) skip this row; else put its rowid into Unique; } deactivate 'index only'; } Phase 2 (implemented as sequence of QuickIndexMergeSelect::get_next calls): fetch() { retrieve all rows from row pointers stored in Unique; free Unique; retrieve all rows for CPK scan; } */ class QuickIndexMergeSelect : public QuickSelectInterface { public: QuickIndexMergeSelect(Session *session, Table *table); ~QuickIndexMergeSelect(); int init(); int reset(void); /** * Get next row for index_merge. * NOTES * The rows are read from * 1. rowids stored in Unique. * 2.
