Comment 2 for bug 1592608

How to repeat:

master [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > create table t (id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key, a mediumtext, b mediumblob)engine=innodb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

master [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > insert into t (a, b) values (repeat('a', 2097152*2), cast(repeat('a', 2097152*2) as binary));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec)

master [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > select length(a), length(b) from t;
+-----------+-----------+
| length(a) | length(b) |
+-----------+-----------+
| 4194304 | 4194304 |
+-----------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

-- When checksumming with PTDEBUG=1, the following chunk checksumming is produced:

# RowChecksum:5792 17587 Row checksum: CRC32(CONCAT_WS('#', `id`, `a`, `b`, CONCAT(ISNULL(`a`), ISNULL(`b`))))
# RowChecksum:5831 17587 Chunk checksum: COUNT(*) AS cnt, COALESCE(LOWER(CONV(BIT_XOR(CAST(CRC32(CONCAT_WS('#', `id`, `a`, `b`, CONCAT(ISNULL(`a`), ISNULL(`b`)))) AS UNSIGNED)), 10, 16)), 0) AS crc

-- On the slave, the CRC is NULL

slave1 [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > select * from percona.checksum \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
            db: test
           tbl: t

-- Testing with the actual CRC query on the table, we get NULL:

master [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > select CRC32(CONCAT_WS('#', `id`, `a`, `b`, CONCAT(ISNULL(`a`), ISNULL(`b`)))) as crc from t;
+------+
| crc |
+------+
| NULL |
+------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

-- This is because of max_allowed_packet:

master [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > show warnings;
+---------+------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+---------+------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Warning | 1301 | Result of concat_ws() was larger than max_allowed_packet (4194304) - truncated |
+---------+------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

-- Adding CRC32 to the BLOB/TEXT columns solves the problem

master [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > select CRC32(CONCAT_WS('#', `id`, CRC32(`a`), CRC32(`b`), CONCAT(ISNULL(`a`), ISNULL(`b`)))) as crc from t;
+------------+
| crc |

1 row in set (0.01 sec)
