The issue here is that when multiple FTS indexes are dropped in a single
ALTER TABLE
statement, we don't clean up the auxiliary index tables from the data dictionary. They are still referenced and when MySQL restarts the next time, it prints a number of warnings:The problem is that when multiple indexes are dropped at once, we end up looping through and overwriting
ctx->fts_drop_aux_vec
on the next iteration.This means that this both leaks memory as the old vector is not de-allocated but also that the initial set of aux tables is not removed from the data dictionary later on.
The fix is simple, only allocate
ctx->fts_drop_aux_vec
if it's not allocated yet. This way all aux tables are gathered for all indexes and cleaned up correctly.A test is added that reproduces the above warning and this test passes with the fixes here.
