  The handler supports read before write removal optimization

  Read before write removal may be used for storage engines which support
  write without previous read of the row to be updated. Handler returning
  this flag must implement start_read_removal() and end_read_removal().
  The handler may return "fake" rows constructed from the key of the row
  asked for. This is used to optimize UPDATE and DELETE by reducing the
  numer of roundtrips between handler and storage engine.
  
  Example:
  UPDATE a=1 WHERE pk IN (<keys>)

  mysql_update()
  {
    if (<conditions for starting read removal>)
      start_read_removal()
      -> handler returns true if read removal supported for this table/query

    while(read_record("pk=<key>"))
      -> handler returns fake row with column "pk" set to <key>

      ha_update_row()
      -> handler sends write "a=1" for row with "pk=<key>"

    end_read_removal()
    -> handler returns the number of rows actually written
  }

  @note This optimization in combination with batching may be used to
        remove even more roundtrips.

/**
  The handler class is the interface for dynamically loadable
  storage engines. Do not add ifdefs and take care when adding or
  changing virtual functions to avoid vtable confusion

  Functions in this class accept and return table columns data. Two data
  representation formats are used:
  1. TableRecordFormat - Used to pass [partial] table records to/from
     storage engine

  2. KeyTupleFormat - used to pass index search tuples (aka "keys") to
     storage engine. See opt_range.cc for description of this format.

  TableRecordFormat
  =================
  [Warning: this description is work in progress and may be incomplete]
  The table record is stored in a fixed-size buffer:
   
    record: null_bytes, column1_data, column2_data, ...
  
  The offsets of the parts of the buffer are also fixed: every column has 
  an offset to its column{i}_data, and if it is nullable it also has its own
  bit in null_bytes. 

  The record buffer only includes data about columns that are marked in the
  relevant column set (table->read_set and/or table->write_set, depending on
  the situation). 
  <not-sure>It could be that it is required that null bits of non-present
  columns are set to 1</not-sure>

  VARIOUS EXCEPTIONS AND SPECIAL CASES

  f the table has no nullable columns, then null_bytes is still 
  present, its length is one byte <not-sure> which must be set to 0xFF 
  at all times. </not-sure>
  
  If the table has columns of type BIT, then certain bits from those columns
  may be stored in null_bytes as well. Grep around for Field_bit for
  details.

  For blob columns (see Field_blob), the record buffer stores length of the 
  data, following by memory pointer to the blob data. The pointer is owned 
  by the storage engine and is valid until the next operation.

  If a blob column has NULL value, then its length and blob data pointer
  must be set to 0.

 /*
   Here is an outline of on-line/in-place ALTER TABLE execution through
   this interface.

   Phase 1 : Initialization
   ========================
   During this phase we determine which algorithm should be used
   for execution of ALTER TABLE and what level concurrency it will
   require.

   *) This phase starts by opening the table and preparing description
      of the new version of the table.
   *) Then we check if it is impossible even in theory to carry out
      this ALTER TABLE using the in-place algorithm. For example, because
      we need to change storage engine or the user has explicitly requested
      usage of the "copy" algorithm.
   *) If in-place ALTER TABLE is theoretically possible, we continue
      by compiling differences between old and new versions of the table
      in the form of HA_ALTER_FLAGS bitmap. We also build a few
      auxiliary structures describing requested changes and store
      all these data in the Alter_inplace_info object.
   *) Then the handler::check_if_supported_inplace_alter() method is called
      in order to find if the storage engine can carry out changes requested
      by this ALTER TABLE using the in-place algorithm. To determine this,
      the engine can rely on data in HA_ALTER_FLAGS/Alter_inplace_info
      passed to it as well as on its own checks. If the in-place algorithm
      can be used for this ALTER TABLE, the level of required concurrency for
      its execution is also returned.
      If any errors occur during the handler call, ALTER TABLE is aborted
      and no further handler functions are called.
   *) Locking requirements of the in-place algorithm are compared to any
      concurrency requirements specified by user. If there is a conflict
      between them, we either switch to the copy algorithm or emit an error.

   Phase 2 : Execution
   ===================

   In this phase the operations are executed.

   *) As the first step, we acquire a lock corresponding to the concurrency
      level which was returned by handler::check_if_supported_inplace_alter()
      and requested by the user. This lock is held for most of the
      duration of in-place ALTER (if HA_ALTER_INPLACE_SHARED_LOCK_AFTER_PREPARE
      or HA_ALTER_INPLACE_NO_LOCK_AFTER_PREPARE were returned we acquire an
      exclusive lock for duration of the next step only).
   *) After that we call handler::ha_prepare_inplace_alter_table() to give the
      storage engine a chance to update its internal structures with a higher
      lock level than the one that will be used for the main step of algorithm.
      After that we downgrade the lock if it is necessary.
   *) After that, the main step of this phase and algorithm is executed.
      We call the handler::ha_inplace_alter_table() method, which carries out the
      changes requested by ALTER TABLE but does not makes them visible to other
      connections yet.
   *) We ensure that no other connection uses the table by upgrading our
      lock on it to exclusive.
   *) a) If the previous step succeeds, handler::ha_commit_inplace_alter_table() is
         called to allow the storage engine to do any final updates to its structures,
         to make all earlier changes durable and visible to other connections.
      b) If we have failed to upgrade lock or any errors have occured during the
         handler functions calls (including commit), we call
         handler::ha_commit_inplace_alter_table()
         to rollback all changes which were done during previous steps.

  Phase 3 : Final
  ===============

  In this phase we:

  *) Update SQL-layer data-dictionary by installing .FRM file for the new version
     of the table.
  *) Inform the storage engine about this change by calling the
     handler::ha_notify_table_changed() method.
  *) Destroy the Alter_inplace_info and handler_ctx objects.
