Bug Description

In both the 5.5 and 5.1 series, this page:

http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.1/management/innodb_fast_index_creation.html
http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/management/innodb_fast_index_creation.html

mentions 'fast_index_creation' but the recent blog post mentions, and shows, a variable called expand_fast_index_creation. Is the variable renamed over time? I don't see expand_fast_index_creation in 5.1.59rel13.0, which is the latest.

Alexey Kopytov (akopytov) wrote :

We have now 2 variables related to fast index creation:

- expand_fast_index_creation controls Percona's improvements, i.e. ability to use fast index creation on table rebuilds and automatic statistics updates after creating an index using fast index creation;

- fast_index_creation allows to disable fast index creation globally, i.e. even for explicit index create operations. With fast_index_creation disabled, expand_fast_index_creation has no effect.

So this bug is about documenting expand_fast_index_creation introduced by the fix for bug #858945.
