Notes about Optimizer Development

mysql-test

InnoDB Estimates are unstable

This is caused by background statistics update. It may cause the numbers in EXPLAIN output to be off-by-one. It may also cause different query plans to be picked on different runs (See e.g. MDEV-32901 for details)

On a per-table basis, one can use STATS_AUTO_RECALC=0 as table parameter.

On a per-file basis, one can use this include:

--source mysql-test/include/innodb_stable_estimates.inc

Run mtr with Optimizer Trace enabled
