Version:	Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.38, for debian-lin	OS:	Linux (3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Tags:	Barracuda, information_schema, innodb, ROW_FORMAT, SHOW CREATE TABLE

Description:
If configuration options innodb_file_per_table = OFF and innodb_file_format = Antelope, and try to alter table with row_format=COMPRESSED, table is altered successfully, but with warnings. Then SHOW CREATE TABLE shows row_format=COMPRESSED, but information_schema.tables show row_format = Dynamic.

How to repeat:

 ROW_FORMAT: Compact
<CUT>
 CREATE_OPTIONS: row_format=COMPRESSED

So ROW_FORMAT from information_schema.tables and SHOW CREATE TABLE is not equals. Is it bug or feature?
