+ The commit_ordered() method is called prior to the commit() method, after
+ the transaction manager has decided to commit (not rollback) the
+ transaction. Unlike commit(), commit_ordered() is called only when the
+ full transaction is committed, not for each commit of statement
+ transaction in a multi-statement transaction.
+
+ Not that like prepare(), commit_ordered() is only called when 2-phase
+ commit takes place. Ie. when no binary log and only a single engine
+ participates in a transaction, one commit() is called, no
+ commit_ordered(). So engines must be prepared for this.
+
+ The calls to commit_ordered() in multiple parallel transactions is
+ guaranteed to happen in the same order in every participating
+ handler. This can be used to ensure the same commit order among multiple
+ handlers (eg. in table handler and binlog). So if transaction T1 calls
+ into commit_ordered() of handler A before T2, then T1 will also call
+ commit_ordered() of handler B before T2.
+
+ Engines that implement this method should during this call make the
+ transaction visible to other transactions, thereby making the order of
+ transaction commits be defined by the order of commit_ordered() calls.
+
+ The intention is that commit_ordered() should do the minimal amount of
+ work that needs to happen in consistent commit order among handlers. To
+ preserve ordering, calls need to be serialised on a global mutex, so
+ doing any time-consuming or blocking operations in commit_ordered() will
+ limit scalability.
+
+ Handlers can rely on commit_ordered() calls to be serialised (no two
+ calls can run in parallel, so no extra locking on the handler part is
+ required to ensure this).
+
+ Note that commit_ordered() can be called from a different thread than the
+ one handling the transaction! So it can not do anything that depends on
+ thread local storage, in particular it can not call my_error() and
+ friends (instead it can store the error code and delay the call of
+ my_error() to the commit() method).
+
+ Similarly, since commit_ordered() returns void, any return error code
+ must be saved and returned from the commit() method instead.
+
+ The commit_ordered method is optional, and can be left unset if not
+ needed in a particular handler (then there will be no ordering guarantees
+ wrt. other engines and binary log).

+ The prepare_ordered method is optional. If set, it will be called after
+ successful prepare() in all handlers participating in 2-phase
+ commit. Like commit_ordered(), it is called only when the full
+ transaction is committed, not for each commit of statement transaction.
+
+ The calls to prepare_ordered() among multiple parallel transactions are
+ ordered consistently with calls to commit_ordered(). This means that
+ calls to prepare_ordered() effectively define the commit order, and that
+ each handler will see the same sequence of transactions calling into
+ prepare_ordered() and commit_ordered().
+
+ Thus, prepare_ordered() can be used to define commit order for handlers
+ that need to do this in the prepare step (like binlog). It can also be
+ used to release transaction's locks early in an order consistent with the
+ order transactions will be eventually committed.
+
+ Like commit_ordered(), prepare_ordered() calls are serialised to maintain
+ ordering, so the intention is that they should execute fast, with only
+ the minimal amount of work needed to define commit order. Handlers can
+ rely on this serialisation, and do not need to do any extra locking to
+ avoid two prepare_ordered() calls running in parallel.
+
+ Like commit_ordered(), prepare_ordered() is not guaranteed to be called
+ in the context of the thread handling the rest of the transaction. So it
+ cannot invoke code that relies on thread local storage, in particular it
+ cannot call my_error().
+
+ prepare_ordered() cannot cause a rollback by returning an error, all
+ possible errors must be handled in prepare() (the prepare_ordered()
+ method returns void). In case of some fatal error, a record of the error
+ must be made internally by the engine and returned from commit() later.
+
+ Note that for user-level XA SQL commands, no consistent ordering among
+ prepare_ordered() and commit_ordered() is guaranteed (as that would
+ require blocking all other commits for an indefinite time).
+
+ When 2-phase commit is not used (eg. only one engine (and no binlog) in
+ transaction), neither prepare() nor prepare_ordered() is called.
