Bug #50599 ndb_desc does not show total/free extents for BLOB/TEXT columns

Description:
Bug 47131 introduces a fix to ndb_desc which allows it to display 	Extent_space and Free extent_space values.  However these are always reported as "0" even when information_schema.FILES reports otherwise.

How to repeat:
CREATE LOGFILE GROUP LOGFILEGROUP ADD UNDOFILE './UNDOFILE1' INITIAL_SIZE 512M UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE=12M ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER; 
CREATE TABLESPACE ts1 ADD DATAFILE 'DATAFILE1.dat' USE LOGFILE GROUP LOGFILEGROUP EXTENT_SIZE 1m INITIAL_SIZE 64m ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER;
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, IMAGE_FILE MEDIUMBLOB STORAGE DISK) TABLESPACE ts1 ENGIN=NDBCLUSTER; 

INSERT INTO t1 (image_file) VALUES(LOAD_FILE('/home/matt/Desktop/Screenshot.png'));
<REPEAT 10 TIMES>

mysql> select FILE_NAME, FREE_EXTENTS, TOTAL_EXTENTS, TABLESPACE_NAME from information_schema.FILES where tablespace_name='ts1';
+---------------+--------------+---------------+-----------------+
| FILE_NAME     | FREE_EXTENTS | TOTAL_EXTENTS | TABLESPACE_NAME |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+-----------------+
| DATAFILE1.dat |           60 |            64 | ts1             |
| DATAFILE1.dat |           60 |            64 | ts1             |
+---------------+--------------+---------------+-----------------+

$ ndb_desc -d test t1 -p

-- Per partition info -- 
Partition	Row count	Commit count	Frag fixed memory	Frag varsized memory	Extent_space	Free extent_space	
1        	5        	10          	32768            	32768               	0            	0                 	
0         	5        	10          	32768            	32768               	0            	0

ndb_desc does not show the Extent_space and Free extent_space for subordinate BLOB/TEXT columns. 

A new option --blob, -B should be added to ndb_desc to make it generate a report for each of the subordinate blob tables.

At the very least it should show the table id of the base table and the subordinate blob table ids/names.

      Bug #50599  	ndb_desc does not show total/free extents for BLOB/TEXT columns
      
      Added BT= to Attributes output to reflect the blob table for a column
      Added --blob-info (-b) to show partition information for blob tables too

Looks ok, only minor thing I would comment on is that there is really no need to declare the "NdbDictionary::Column column" outside scoop of the for loop - it just gives the opportunity for someone to use the variable outside it's intended scope.

+      for (int i = 0; i < noOfAttributes; i++)
+      {
+         const NdbDictionary::Column* column = pTab->getColumn(i);

Approved anyway, but fix if you like.

Pushed into 5.1.41-ndb-7.0.13 (revid:magnus.blaudd@sun.com-20100218182454-m3kckfdyopdfxcnr) (version source revid:magnus.blaudd@sun.com-20100218182454-m3kckfdyopdfxcnr) (merge vers: 5.1.41-ndb-7.0.13) (pib:16)

Pushed to 7.0 and 7.1

Documented feature addition in the NDB-7.0.13 and 7.1.2 changelogs as follows:

      The ndb_desc utility can now show the extent space and free extent 
      space for subordinate BLOB and TEXT columns (stored in hidden BLOB 
      tables by NDB). A --blob option has been added for this program that 
      causes ndb_desc to generate a report for each subordinate BLOB table. 
      For more information, see "ndb_desc — Describe NDB Tables".

Also noted addition in the indicated section of the Manual, and that -b requires use of -p to work.

Closed.

NB. Changelog entry as committed actually refers to --blob-info, not '--blob'.
