Hi Valerii,

Revisiting this old "heisenbug" ...

I see the original intent was to archive data of a master table to another (non replication) server. This explains the unusual where clause. Maybe pt-archiver is better suited for this since it also deletes old data from master, and can deal with deadlocks (--retries option).

Since the future version of pt-table-sync will be restricted to normal replication, and will work on top of pt-table-checksum results (which is better prepared to deal with deadlocks), this issue can be considered moot.

Although this can be considered a true bug, for the above reasons I'm marking this as won't fix.

Valerii, feel free to reopen or comment if you have other considerations.
