/* HANDLER ... commands - direct access to ISAM */

/* TODO:
  HANDLER blabla OPEN [ AS foobar ] [ (column-list) ]

  the most natural (easiest, fastest) way to do it is to
  compute List<Item> field_list not in mysql_ha_read
  but in mysql_ha_open, and then store it in TABLE structure.

  The problem here is that mysql_parse calls free_item to free all the
  items allocated at the end of every query. The workaround would to
  keep two item lists per THD - normal free_list and handler_items.
  The second is to be freeed only on thread end. mysql_ha_open should
  then do { handler_items=concat(handler_items, free_list); free_list=0; }

  But !!! do_command calls free_root at the end of every query and frees up
  all the sql_alloc'ed memory. It's harder to work around...
*/

/*
  There are two containers holding information about open handler tables.
  The first is 'thd->handler_tables'. It is a linked list of TABLE objects.
  It is used like 'thd->open_tables' in the table cache. The trick is to
  exchange these two lists during open and lock of tables. Thus the normal
  table cache code can be used.
  The second container is a HASH. It holds objects of the type TABLE_LIST.
  Despite its name, no lists of tables but only single structs are hashed
  (the 'next' pointer is always NULL). The reason for theis second container
  is, that we want handler tables to survive FLUSH TABLE commands. A table
  affected by FLUSH TABLE must be closed so that other threads are not
  blocked by handler tables still in use. Since we use the normal table cache
  functions with 'thd->handler_tables', the closed tables are removed from
  this list. Hence we need the original open information for the handler
  table in the case that it is used again. This information is handed over
  to mysql_ha_open() as a TABLE_LIST. So we store this information in the
  second container, where it is not affected by FLUSH TABLE. The second
  container is implemented as a hash for performance reasons. Consequently,
  we use it not only for re-opening a handler table, but also for the
  HANDLER ... READ commands. For this purpose, we store a pointer to the
  TABLE structure (in the first container) in the TBALE_LIST object in the
  second container. When the table is flushed, the pointer is cleared.

/*
  Flush (close) a list of HANDLER tables.

  SYNOPSIS
    mysql_ha_flush()
    thd                         Thread identifier.
    tables                      The list of tables to close. If NULL,
                                close all HANDLER tables [marked as flushed].
    mode_flags                  MYSQL_HA_CLOSE_FINAL finally close the table.
                                MYSQL_HA_REOPEN_ON_USAGE mark for reopen.
                                MYSQL_HA_FLUSH_ALL flush all tables, not only
                                those marked for flush.
    is_locked                   If LOCK_open is locked.

  DESCRIPTION
    The list of HANDLER tables may be NULL, in which case all HANDLER
    tables are closed (if MYSQL_HA_FLUSH_ALL) is set.
    If 'tables' is NULL and MYSQL_HA_FLUSH_ALL is not set,
    all HANDLER tables marked for flush are closed.
    Broadcasts a COND_refresh condition, for every table closed.

  NOTE
    Since mysql_ha_flush() is called when the base table has to be closed,
    we compare real table names, not aliases. Hence, database names matter.

  RETURN
    0  ok
