Description:
Column type is year type and have index . The sql  contain year column  
When column type is year type and have index . The follow sql: select count(*) FROM  select_tab  where 31 between 31 AND (year_test)  . and  year_test column data is more than 31 .  when table  records more than 6 , the  result is wrong . 

MYSQL version is 5.6 ,  5.7.14 

How to repeat:
mysql> /* Create table and create   index on year type  column */
mysql> CREATE TABLE `select_tab` (
    ->   `pk` bigint(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    ->   `year_test` year(4) DEFAULT NULL,
    ->   PRIMARY KEY (`pk`),
    ->   KEY `index_year_test` (`year_test`)
    -> ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1001 DEFAULT CHARSET=gbk ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;

mysql>  /* insert one records to table */
mysql> insert into  select_tab  (pk , year_test) values(1,2014);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)

mysql>  /* when  year_test query value  less than  2155 ,the result is right   */
mysql> select count(*) FROM select_tab  where year_test < 2155;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|        1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>  /* when  year_test query value  more than  2155 ,the result is wrong   */
mysql> select count(*) FROM select_tab  where year_test < 2156;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|        0 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Possible workaround would be ignore the secondary index. 
mysql> select count(*) FROM select_tab IGNORE INDEX(index_year_test) where year_test < 2156;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|        1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

   CREATE TABLE t1 (pk INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                   year_test YEAR(4) DEFAULT NULL,
                   KEY index_year_test (year_test) );

INSERT INTO  t1  (pk , year_test) VALUES (1,2014);

mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1  WHERE year_test < 2156;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|        0 |
+----------+

EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1  WHERE year_test < 2156;
+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+--------------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref  | rows | filtered | Extra                          |
+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+--------------------------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | NULL  | NULL       | NULL | NULL          | NULL | NULL    | NULL | NULL |     NULL | no matching row in const table |
+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+--------------------------------+

The range of YEAR(4) column is in the range 1901 to 2155. When a number greater than the max value is supplied, optimizer is unable to convert 2156 into a valid value in the YEAR column's range resulting in constant folding. That is internally the statement becomes "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE FALSE ".

This problem will be fixed by WL#11935.

Workaround: Ignore the secondary index so that table scan is used.
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 IGNORE INDEX (index_year_test) WHERE year_test < 2156;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|        1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Fixed in MySQL 8.0.16 by WL#11935 "Add folding of constants when compared to fields".

Closed.
