Detailed Description

An adapter that takes in another RowIterator and produces the same rows, just in sorted order.

(The actual sort happens in Init().) Unfortunately, it is still bound to working off a TABLE object, which means that you can't use it to e.g. sort the output of a join without materializing into a temporary table first (ignoring that we currently have no Iterators for joins).

The primary reason for this is that we currently have no way of communicating read sets through Iterators, and SortingIterator needs to add fields used in ORDER BY to the read set for the appropriate tables. This could be mitigated by e.g. sending in an unordered_set<Field *>, but we don't currently have such a mechanism.

SortingIterator::SortingIterator ( THD thd,

Member Function Documentation

◆ CleanupAfterQuery()

void SortingIterator::CleanupAfterQuery ( )

Optional (when JOIN::destroy() runs, the iterator and its buffers will be cleaned up anyway); used to clean up the buffers a little bit earlier.

When we get cached JOIN objects (prepare/optimize once) that can live for a long time between queries, calling this will become more important.

◆ DoSort()

int SortingIterator::DoSort ( )
private

◆ filesort()

const Filesort * SortingIterator::filesort ( ) const
inline

◆ Init()

bool SortingIterator::Init ( )
overridevirtual

Initialize or reinitialize the iterator.

You must always call Init() before trying a Read() (but Init() does not imply Read()).

You can call Init() multiple times; subsequent calls will rewind the iterator (or reposition it, depending on whether the iterator takes in e.g. a Index_lookup) and allow you to read the records anew.

Implements RowIterator.

◆ Read()

int SortingIterator::Read ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Read a single row.

The row data is not actually returned from the function; it is put in the table's (or tables', in case of a join) record buffer, ie., table->records[0].

Return values
0OK
-1End of records
1Error

Implements RowIterator.

◆ ReleaseBuffers()

void SortingIterator::ReleaseBuffers ( )
private

◆ SetNullRowFlag()

void SortingIterator::SetNullRowFlag ( bool  is_null_row)
overridevirtual

Mark the current row buffer as containing a NULL row or not, so that if you read from it and the flag is true, you'll get only NULLs no matter what is actually in the buffer (typically some old leftover row).

This is used for outer joins, when an iterator hasn't produced any rows and we need to produce a NULL-complemented row. Init() or Read() won't necessarily reset this flag, so if you ever set is to true, make sure to also set it to false when needed.

Note that this can be called without Init() having been called first. For example, NestedLoopIterator can hit EOF immediately on the outer iterator, which means the inner iterator doesn't get an Init() call, but will still forward SetNullRowFlag to both inner and outer iterators.

TODO: We shouldn't need this. See the comments on AggregateIterator for a bit more discussion on abstracting out a row interface.

Implements RowIterator.

◆ UnlockRow()

void SortingIterator::UnlockRow ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Implements RowIterator.
