New Features¶
A new TokuDB tokudb_dir_per_db option has been introduced to
address two TokuDB shortcomings, the renaming of data files on table/index rename, and the ability to group data files together within a directory that represents a single database. This feature is enabled by default.
Bugs Fixed¶
The Audit Log plugin malformed record could be written after audit_log_flush was set to ON in ASYNC and PERFORMANCE
modes. Bug fixed #1613650.
Running SELECT DISTINCT x...ORDER BY y LIMIT N,N could lead to a server
crash. Bug fixed #1617586.
Workloads with statements that take non-transactional locks (LOCK TABLES,
global read lock, and similar) could have caused deadlocks when running
under Thread Pool with high priority queue enabled and thread_pool_high_prio_mode set to transactions. Fixed by
placing such statements into the high priority queue even with the above thread_pool_high_prio_mode setting. Bugs fixed #1619559 and
#1374930.
Fixed memory leaks in Audit Log Plugin. Bug fixed #1620152 (upstream #71759).
A server could crash due to a glibc bug in handling short-lived detached
threads. Bug fixed #1621012 (upstream #82886).
QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME_READ and QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME_WRITE were returning
QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME table data if accessed through a name that is not
full uppercase. Bug fixed #1552428.
Cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 was listed in the list
of supported ciphers but it wasn’t supported. Bug fixed #1622034
(upstream #82935).
Successful recovery of a torn page from the doublewrite buffer was shown as a warning in the error log. Bug fixed #1622985.
LRU manager threads could run too long on a server shutdown, causing a server crash. Bug fixed #1626069.

format. Bug fixed #1626206.

statistics processing queue. Bug fixed #1626441 (upstream
#71761).
Upstream merge for #81657 to 5.6 was incorrect. Bug fixed #1626936 (upstream #83124).
Fixed multi-threaded slave thread leaks that happened in case of thread create failure. Bug fixed #1619622 (upstream #82980).
