Can you use the table->write_set and table->read_set?
Generally, table->read_set gives you the columns that you need to fetch and
return to the SQL layer, and table->write_set gives the columns that you must
change.
(for write_row(), you need to change all columns always, as this implements
REPLACE INTO, write_set just gives which columns are mentioned in the query,
but remaining columns must still be reset to default values).
