Description:
We use MySQL 5.7.24, we have notice MySQL will hang.Can not write record to DB.when this three operations  happen:
1,show binlog or binlog rotate
2,show variabels
3,purge binlog

Cause this problem:
1,Not write any record to DB.
2,New connection can not attact to DB.finaly ,Instance will report error "to many connection" .I quess,the connections have up to max connection =3500 ,
3,The long live connection  can execute select,So we HA can not change master to semi slave.

How to repeat:
1,In test DB.Execute "flush logs",Create many binlog file.
2,Ready two script,one is execute "purge binlog" ,another execute "show variables".

We  analyse like this :
1. binlog rotate 
	hold lock_log waiting lock_index
	
2. purge binlog 
	hold lock_index waiting lock_thd_lock
	
3. show variabless
    hold lock_thd_lock waiting lock_log

How to repeat:
when we execute the two scripts. It will repeat .

purge binlog,show variables,binlog rotate will cause deadlock
