  OVERVIEW
  ========

  This file contains table elimination module. The idea behind table
  elimination is as follows: suppose we have a left join
 
    SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN 
      (t2 JOIN t3) ON t2.primary_key=t1.col AND 
                      t2.primary_key=t2.col
    WHERE ...

  such that
  * columns of the inner tables are not used anywhere ouside the outer join
    (not in WHERE, not in GROUP/ORDER BY clause, not in select list etc etc),
  * inner side of the outer join is guaranteed to produce at most one matching
    record combination for each record combination of outer tables.
  
  then the inner side of the outer join can be removed from the query, as it 
  will always produce only one record combination (either real or 
  null-complemented one) and we don't care about what that record combination 
  is.


  MODULE INTERFACE
  ================

  The module has one entry point - the eliminate_tables() function, which one
  needs to call (once) at some point before join optimization.
  eliminate_tables() operates over the JOIN structures. Logically, it
  removes the inner tables of an outer join operation together with the
  operation itself. Physically, it changes the following members:

  * Eliminated tables are marked as constant and moved to the front of the
    join order.

  * In addition to this, they are recorded in JOIN::eliminated_tables bitmap.

  * Items that became disused because they were in the ON expression of an 
    eliminated outer join are notified by means of the Item tree walk which 
    calls Item::mark_as_eliminated_processor for every item
    - At the moment the only Item that cares whether it was eliminated is 
      Item_subselect with its Item_subselect::eliminated flag which is used
      by EXPLAIN code to check if the subquery should be shown in EXPLAIN.

  Table elimination is redone on every PS re-execution.


  TABLE ELIMINATION ALGORITHM FOR ONE OUTER JOIN
  ==============================================

  As described above, we can remove inner side of an outer join if it is 

    1. not referred to from any other parts of the query
    2. always produces one matching record combination.

  We check #1 by doing a recursive descent down the join->join_list while
  maintaining a union of used_tables() attribute of all Item expressions in
  other parts of the query. When we encounter an outer join, we check if the
  bitmap of tables on its inner side has intersection with tables that are used
  elsewhere. No intersection means that inner side of the outer join could 
  potentially be eliminated.

  In order to check #2, one needs to prove that inner side of an outer join 
  is functionally dependent on the outside. The proof is constructed from
  functional dependencies of intermediate objects:

  - Inner side of outer join is functionally dependent when each of its tables
    are functionally dependent. (We assume a table is functionally dependent 
    when its dependencies allow to uniquely identify one table record, or no
    records).

  - Table is functionally dependent when it has got a unique key whose columns
    are functionally dependent.

  - A column is functionally dependent when we could locate an AND-part of a
    certain ON clause in form 
      
      tblX.columnY= expr 
    
    where expr is functionally depdendent. expr is functionally dependent when 
    all columns that it refers to are functionally dependent.

  These relationships are modeled as a bipartite directed graph that has
  dependencies as edges and two kinds of nodes:

  Value nodes:
   - Table column values (each is a value of tblX.columnY)
   - Table values (each node represents a table inside the join nest we're
     trying to eliminate).
  A value has one attribute, it is either bound (i.e. functionally dependent) 
  or not.

  Module nodes:
   - Modules representing tblX.colY=expr equalities. Equality module has 
      = incoming edges from columns used in expr 
      = outgoing edge to tblX.colY column.
   - Nodes representing unique keys. Unique key has
      = incoming edges from key component value modules
      = outgoing edge to key's table module
   - Inner side of outer join module. Outer join module has
      = incoming edges from table value modules
      = No outgoing edges. Once we reach it, we know we can eliminate the 
        outer join.
  A module may depend on multiple values, and hence its primary attribute is
  the number of its arguments that are not bound. 

  The algorithm starts with equality nodes that don't have any incoming edges
  (their expressions are either constant or depend only on tables that are
  outside of the outer join in question) and performns a breadth-first
  traversal. If we reach the outer join nest node, it means outer join is
  functionally dependent and can be eliminated. Otherwise it cannot be
  eliminated.
 
  HANDLING MULTIPLE NESTED OUTER JOINS
  ====================================

  Outer joins that are not nested one within another are eliminated
  independently. For nested outer joins we have the following considerations:
  
  1. ON expressions from children outer joins must be taken into account 
   
  Consider this example:

    SELECT t0.* 
    FROM 
      t0  
    LEFT JOIN 
      (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.primary_key=t1.col1)
    ON 
      t1.primary_key=t0.col AND t2.col1=t1.col2

  Here we cannot eliminate the "... LEFT JOIN t2 ON ..." part alone because the
  ON clause of top level outer join has references to table t2. 
  We can eliminate the entire  "... LEFT JOIN (t1 LEFT JOIN t2) ON .." part,
  but in order to do that, we must look at both ON expressions.
  
  2. ON expressions of parent outer joins are useless.
  Consider an example:

    SELECT t0.* 
    FROM
      t0 
    LEFT JOIN 
      (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON some_expr)
    ON
      t2.primary_key=t1.col  -- (*)
  
  Here the uppermost ON expression has a clause that gives us functional
  dependency of table t2 on t1 and hence could be used to eliminate the
  "... LEFT JOIN t2 ON..." part.
  However, we would not actually encounter this situation, because before the
  table elimination we run simplify_joins(), which, among other things, upon
  seeing a functional dependency condition like (*) will convert the outer join
  of
    
    "... LEFT JOIN t2 ON ..."
  
  into inner join and thus make table elimination not to consider eliminating
  table t2.

/*
  Perform table elimination

  SYNOPSIS
    eliminate_tables()
      join                   Join to work on

  DESCRIPTION
    This is the entry point for table elimination. Grep for MODULE INTERFACE
    section in this file for calling convention.

    The idea behind table elimination is that if we have an outer join:
   
      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN 
        (t2 JOIN t3) ON t2.primary_key=t1.col AND 
                        t3.primary_key=t2.col
    such that

    1. columns of the inner tables are not used anywhere ouside the outer
       join (not in WHERE, not in GROUP/ORDER BY clause, not in select list 
       etc etc), and
    2. inner side of the outer join is guaranteed to produce at most one
       record combination for each record combination of outer tables.
    
    then the inner side of the outer join can be removed from the query.
    This is because it will always produce one matching record (either a
    real match or a NULL-complemented record combination), and since there
    are no references to columns of the inner tables anywhere, it doesn't
    matter which record combination it was.

    This function primary handles checking #1. It collects a bitmap of
    tables that are not used in select list/GROUP BY/ORDER BY/HAVING/etc and
    thus can possibly be eliminated.

    After this, if #1 is met, the function calls eliminate_tables_for_list()
    that checks #2.

    Perform table elimination in a given join list:
    - First, walk through join list members and try doing table elimination for
      them.
    - Then, if the join list itself is an inner side of outer join
      (on_expr!=NULL), then try to eliminate the entire join list.

    See "HANDLING MULTIPLE NESTED OUTER JOINS" section at the top of this file
    for more detailed description and justification.

  Produce Dep_module_expr elements for given condition.

  SYNOPSIS

      eq_mod    INOUT  Put produced equality conditions here
      and_level INOUT  AND-level (like in add_key_fields)
      cond             Condition to process

  DESCRIPTION
    Analyze the given condition and produce an array of Dep_module_expr 
    dependencies from it. The idea of analysis is as follows:
    There are useful equalities that have form 
        
        eliminable_tbl.field = expr      (denote as useful_equality)

    The condition is composed of useful equalities and other conditions that
    are combined together with AND and OR operators. We process the condition
    in recursive fashion according to these basic rules:

      useful_equality1 AND useful_equality2 -> make array of two 
                                               Dep_module_expr objects

      useful_equality AND other_cond -> discard other_cond
      
      useful_equality OR other_cond -> discard everything
      
      useful_equality1 OR useful_equality2 -> check if both sides of OR are the
                                              same equality. If yes, that's the
                                              result, otherwise discard 
                                              everything.

    The rules are used to map the condition into an array Dep_module_expr
    elements. The array will specify functional dependencies that logically 
    follow from the condition.

    This function is modeled after add_key_fields()

/*
  Perform an OR operation on two (adjacent) Dep_module_expr arrays.

  SYNOPSIS
     merge_eq_mods()
       start        Start of left OR-part
       new_fields   Start of right OR-part
       end          End of right OR-part
       and_level    AND-level (like in add_key_fields)

  DESCRIPTION
  This function is invoked for two adjacent arrays of Dep_module_expr elements:

                      $LEFT_PART             $RIGHT_PART
             +-----------------------+-----------------------+
            start                new_fields                 end
         
  The goal is to produce an array which would correspond to the combined 
  
    $LEFT_PART OR $RIGHT_PART
  
  condition. This is achieved as follows: First, we apply distrubutive law:
  
    (fdep_A_1 AND fdep_A_2 AND ...)  OR  (fdep_B_1 AND fdep_B_2 AND ...) =

     = AND_ij (fdep_A_[i] OR fdep_B_[j])
  
  Then we walk over the obtained "fdep_A_[i] OR fdep_B_[j]" pairs, and 
   - Discard those that that have left and right part referring to different
     columns. We can't infer anything useful from "col1=expr1 OR col2=expr2".
   - When left and right parts refer to the same column,  we check if they are 
     essentially the same. 
     = If they are the same, we keep one copy 
       "t.col=expr OR t.col=expr"  -> "t.col=expr 
     = if they are different , then we discard both
      "t.col=expr1 OR t.col=expr2" -> (nothing useful)

  (no per-table or for-index FUNC_DEPS exist yet at this phase).

  See also merge_key_fields().

  RETURN 
    End of the result array
