Description:
InnoDB's full text search (FTS) information_schema plugins incorrectly define the info field. This has no effect when InnoDB is compiled statically into MySQL. However when InnoDB is a shared library, the version check causes the FTS information_schema plugins to error during load.

How to repeat:
1. Build InnoDB as a shared library
2. Start mysql
3. Try to load a InnoDB FTS INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugin: INSTALL PLUGIN INNODB_FT_DELETED SONAME 'ha_innodb.so';

Expected result: Plugin loads

Actual result: ERROR 1126 (HY000): Can't open shared library 'ha_innodb.so' (errno: 0 API version for INFORMATION SCHEMA plugin is too different)

Suggested fix:
This appears to be because the definitions of the information_schema plugins in i_s.cc are incorrectly defining the info field. This is not noticed when InnoDB is built in (the only supported configuration) because version numbers are not
checked.

Hi David, I didn't see this old bug here.  I've just filed my own version of the report (with fix also!)

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=72441

Fixed as of the upcoming 5.6.20, 5.7.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

When "InnoDB" is built as a shared library, attempting to load the
"InnoDB" full-text search (FTS) "INFORMATION_SCHEMA" plugin would fail
with a "Can't open shared library 'ha_innodb.so'" error. 

Thank you for the bug report.
