Vector indexes have the type (algorithm) SE_SPECIFIC, and we add a column option in the data dictionary saying vector_index=1; which gets picked up by dedicated code in the data dictionary and the handler part of InnoDB.

In the SQL layer, the vector index is very much a thing; there is an HA_KEY_ALG_VECTOR, an HA_VECTOR and a KEYTYPE_VECTOR.

Extra SQL is added to display the type of a vector index as VECTOR rather than SE_SPECIFIC.

I you try to open a table containing a vector index in a trunk Percona server, you get a failed assertion in InnoDB when a client connects. However, if you drop the index, you can connect just fine.

validate_rec_offset() in the rec_offs_*() helpers of rem0wrec was called
unconditionally, including in non-debug builds where it does no useful work.
Wrap these calls in ut_d() so they are compiled only in debug builds, removing
the per-call overhead on release builds.
…ad the access_time

https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PS-11120

This patch reduces contention inside buf_page_optimistic_get. We acquire the
BUF_BLOCK_MUTEX twice there. The second time we acquire it only to update the
access time, and only if it was zero. By reading the access time the first
time we hold the mutex, we can skip re-acquiring it when the page has already
been accessed (non-zero access time), which is the common case for hot pages.

This is safe because: the second time the mutex is taken the access time is
re-checked anyway; access time is never reset to zero (except when a page is
reinitialized); and the page cannot be reinitialized meanwhile because it was
buffer-fixed on first access.

This is a contribution from Anna Glasgall <aglasgal@akamai.com> / Akamai, with
a minor fix added.
Vector indexes have the type (algorithm) SE_SPECIFIC, and we add a column option
in the data dictionary saying `vector_index=1;` which gets picked up by
dedicated code in the data dictionary and the handler part of InnoDB.

In the SQL layer, the vector index is very much a thing; there is an
`HA_KEY_ALG_VECTOR`, an `HA_VECTOR` and a `KEYTYPE_VECTOR`.
