    SYNOPSIS
      Field::get_key_image()
      buff   [out] output buffer
      length       output buffer size
      type         itMBR for geometry blobs, otherwise itRAW
 
    DESCRIPTION
      This function makes a copy of field part of size equal to or
      less than "length" parameter value.
      For fields of string types (CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT) the rest of buffer
      is padded by zero byte.
 
    NOTES
      For variable length character fields (i.e. UTF-8) the "length"
      parameter means a number of output buffer bytes as if all field
      characters have maximal possible size (mbmaxlen). In the other words,
      "length" parameter is a number of characters multiplied by
      field_charset->mbmaxlen.
 
    RETURN
      Number of copied bytes (excluding padded zero bytes -- see above).

    The actual format is opaque and will vary between types of Field
    (it is meant to be unpacked by unpack(), but be aware that it is

      truncating the output, but not all Field classes follow this.)

     - If the actual field length is longer than "max_length", by way of
       software bug or otherwise, the function may behave as if it were shorter,
       and write something that is still readable by unpack().
     - There is no bounds checking; the caller must verify that there is

    UPDATE of a virtual field (for index update) requires two values to be

    latter. In the case when there was an indexed record, it got deleted and
    When INSERT inserts into an index a record that coincides with a
    previously deleted one, InnoDB needs to recalculate value that was
    deleted in order to properly insert the new one.
    When two above overlap, a field have to keep 3 different values at the
    same time - 'new', 'old' and 'deleted'.
    This backup_value is used by @see my_eval_gcolumn_expr_helper() to save
    'new' and provide space for 'deleted' to avoid thrashing the former.
    Unlike the old_value, backup_value is allocated once and reused for each
    new re-calculation, to avoid excessive [re-]allocations. It's freed at the
    end of statement. Since InnoDB consumes calculated values only after all
    needed table's virtual fields were calculated, we have to have such backup
    buffer for each field.

    and the existing record with the same hash.

    Save the current BLOB value to avoid that it gets overwritten.
 
    This is used when updating virtual generated columns that are
    BLOBs. Some storage engines require that we have both the old and
    new BLOB value for virtual generated columns that are indexed in
    order for the storage engine to be able to maintain the index. This
    function will transfer the buffer storing the current BLOB value
    from 'value' to 'old_value'. This avoids that the current BLOB value
    is over-written when the new BLOB value is saved into this field.
 
    The reason this requires special handling when updating/deleting
    virtual columns of BLOB type is that the BLOB value is not known to
    the storage engine. For stored columns, the "old" BLOB value is read
    by the storage engine, Field_blob is made to point to the engine's
    internal buffer; Field_blob's internal buffer (Field_blob::value)
    isn't used and remains available to store the "new" value.  For
    virtual generated columns, the "old" value is written directly into
    Field_blob::value when reading the record to be
    updated/deleted. This is done in update_generated_read_fields().
    Since, in this case, the "old" value already occupies the place to
    store the "new" value, we must call this function before we write
    the "new" value into Field_blob::value object so that the "old"
    value does not get over-written. The table->record[1] buffer will
    have a pointer that points to the memory buffer inside
    old_value. The storage engine will use table->record[1] to read the
    old value for the BLOB and use table->record[0] to read the new
    value.
 
    This function must be called before we store the new BLOB value in
    this field object.

/**
  Field that stores array of values of the same type.
 
  This Field class is used together with Item_func_array_cast class
  (CAST( .. AS .. ARRAY) function) in implementation of multi-valued index.
  Effectively it's a JSON field that contains a single JSON array. When a
  JSON value is stored, it's checked to be either a scalar, or an array.
  All source values are converted using the internal conversion field and
  stored as an array. Field_typed_array ensures that all values stored
  in the array have the same type and precision - the one specified by user.
  This way InnoDB doesn't have to do the conversion on its own and can easily
  index them.
 
  The Field_typed_array always reports type of its element and from this
  point of view it's undistinguishable from regular field having the same
  type. Due to that, fields are differentiated by is_array() property.
  Field_typed_array returns true, all other fields - false.
 
  For conversion and index applicability tests, Field_typed_array employs a
  conversion field, which is a regular Field class of array's element type.
  It's stored in the m_conv_field. All Field_typed_array::store_*() methods
  store values to the conversion field. Conversion field and typed array
  field are sharing same field_index, to allow correct read/write_set
  checks. So the field always have to be marked for read in order to allow
  read of conversions' results.
