I finished this yesterday and it is now part of the drizzle tree. It
was relatively straight forward, just had a few bigger conflicts with
some of the 5.1 changes for reducing contention around internal
temporary tables.
If I get some spare time, I hope to add the ability to not require the
key columns to be first in the table. Once that is done, I wanted to
try to enable it for internal temporary tables (except those with
blobs) and do some benchmarks to see how it does compared to the fixed
width allocation.
Those are more of long term plans since I am only doing this in my own
time. Dunno when/if they will be done.
Regards,
Harrison
