Description:
When persistent statistics is used for InnoDB it still updates cardinality with values which are incorrect.

Can be related to bug #78066 (but exists in 5.7.10) and bug #75428

How to repeat:
Option file:

--innodb_stats_auto_recalc=0 --innodb_stats_method=nulls_equal --innodb_stats_on_metadata=0 --innodb_stats_persistent=1 --innodb_stats_persistent_sample_pages=1000 --innodb_stats_sample_pages=8 --innodb_stats_transient_sample_pages=8

Test file:

--source include/have_innodb.inc

create table sale
(
id int primary key auto_increment,
customer_id int not null,
product_id int not null,
sale_time datetime not null,
sale_value decimal(10,2) not null,
filler varchar(250) not null,
key(customer_id, sale_time),
key(product_id)
)
engine innodb STATS_AUTO_RECALC=0 STATS_SAMPLE_PAGES=1000;

 insert into sale
(customer_id,product_id,sale_time,sale_value,filler)
values
(1,1,NOW(),100,LPAD('X',250,'X')),
(1,2,NOW(),200,LPAD('X',250,'X')),
(1,3,NOW(),300,LPAD('X',250,'X')),
(2,4,NOW(),100,LPAD('X',250,'X')),
(2,5,NOW(),200,LPAD('X',250,'X')),
(3,6,NOW(),100,LPAD('X',250,'X'));

insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale;
insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale;
insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale;
insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale;
insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale;
insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale;

show indexes from sale;
select count(distinct customer_id), count(distinct sale_time), count(distinct product_id) from sale;
select count(*), count(distinct customer_id), count(distinct customer_id, sale_time), count(distinct product_id) from sale;
analyze table sale;
show indexes from sale;

insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale where id < 441/5;
show indexes from sale;
select count(distinct customer_id), count(distinct sale_time), count(distinct product_id) from sale;
select count(*), count(distinct customer_id), count(distinct customer_id, sale_time), count(distinct product_id) from sale;
insert into sale (customer_id, product_id, sale_time, sale_value, filler) select customer_id, product_id, NOW(), sale_value, filler from sale where id < 581/2;
show indexes from sale;
select count(distinct customer_id), count(distinct sale_time), count(distinct product_id) from sale;
select count(*), count(distinct customer_id), count(distinct customer_id, sale_time), count(distinct product_id) from sale;

Actual result:

show indexes from sale;

sale 1 customer_id 1 customer_id A 128 NULL NULL BTREE

count(*) count(distinct customer_id) count(distinct customer_id, sale_time) count(distinct product_id)
694 3 12 6

Suggested fix:
all calls of show indexes from sale; (except first one) should return

show indexes from sale;
Table Non_unique Key_name Seq_in_index Column_name Collation Cardinality Sub_part Packed Null Index_type Comment Index_comment
sale 0 PRIMARY 1 id A 384 NULL NULL BTREE
sale 1 customer_id 1 customer_id A 6 NULL NULL BTREE
sale 1 customer_id 2 sale_time A 12 NULL NULL BTREE
sale 1 product_id 1 product_id A 12 NULL NULL BTREE

Hello Sveta,

Thank you for the report and test case.
Verified as described with 5.6.28 build.

Thanks,
Umesh

This exact test case is not repeatable with 8.0.13 anymore but still, statistics can get wrong with a series of server restarts.
