Issues Fixed

Can result in unexpected behavior

• UPDATE with cross engine IN subquery produced unexpected results. (MCOL-4868)

• Error can arise with cross engine JOIN: Internal error: CrossEngineStep::execute() caught getSignedNullValue(): got bad column width (4) (MCOL-4874)

• IN operation doesn't respect COLLATE (MCOL-4899)

• Slower than expected bulk insertion. (MCOL-4912)

• A ColumnStore process thread read call could last indefinitely. (MCOL-4927)

• With this release, if no data appears when a ColumnStore process thread makes a read call, the thread logs an error, closes the socket, and proceeds.

• Prior to this release, a ColumnStore process thread would synchronously wait for data to appear in the socket.

• QueryStats does not automatically log each query to calGetTrace() results. (MCOL-4944)

• With this release, when QueryStats is enabled, queries are automatically logged to infinidb_querystats.querystats

• Prior to this release, it was necessary to execute SELECT calGetTrace(1) to log queries even with QueryStats enabled.
