Description:
Section 13.5.4.16. (SHOW PROCESSLIST Syntax) lists many of the different processlist State values with an explanation of each.

However it does not include an explanation of what 'updating reference tables' means, which is especially unfortunate as I have a long running query in that state that is negatively impacting the performance of my server.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Add an explanation of what a State of "updating reference tables" means to section 13.5.4.16 of the manual

Another state that is not documented is 'statistics'. Please add this to the list to be documented as well.

Thanks,

Tabor
