Crash-safe DDL of InnoDB tables in MariaDB Server 10.6
Abstract
When the running server is killed at any time while using a crash-safe storage engine, it is expected to recover to a consistent state. The Atomic DDL in the server core that prevents tablename.frm files from getting out of sync with InnoDB turned out not to be the silver bullet. Several sources of inconsistencies were identified and addressed in the InnoDB layer, by making DDL transactions cleaner. No InnoDB file format was changed.
