/*
  JOIN_CACHE is the base class to support the implementations of 
  - Block Nested Loop (BNL) Join Algorithm,
  - Block Nested Loop Hash (BNLH) Join Algorithm,
  - Batched Key Access (BKA) Join Algorithm.

  The first algorithm is supported by the derived class JOIN_CACHE_BNL,
  the second algorithm is supported by the derived class JOIN_CACHE_BNLH,
  while the third algorithm is implemented in two variant supported by
  the classes JOIN_CACHE_BKA and JOIN_CACHE_BKAH.
  These three algorithms have a lot in common. Each of them first accumulates
  the records of the left join operand in a join buffer and then searches for
  matching rows of the second operand for all accumulated records.
  For the first two algorithms this strategy saves on logical I/O operations:
  the entire set of records from the join buffer requires only one look-through
  of the records provided by the second operand. 
  For the third algorithm the accumulation of records allows to optimize
  fetching rows of the second operand from disk for some engines (MyISAM, 
  InnoDB), or to minimize the number of round-trips between the Server and
  the engine nodes.

  that either itself contains the key value, or, in the case when the keys are
  embedded, refers to its occurrence in one of the records from the chain.
  To build the chains with the same keys a hash table is employed. It is placed
  at the very end of the join buffer. The array of hash entries is allocated
  first at the very bottom of the join buffer, while key entries are placed
  before this array.
  A hash entry contains a header of the list of the key entries with the same
  hash value. 
  Each key entry is a structure of the following type:
    struct st_join_cache_key_entry {
      union { 
        uchar[] value;
        cache_ref *value_ref; // offset from the beginning of the buffer
      } hash_table_key;
      key_ref next_key; // offset backward from the beginning of hash table
      cache_ref *last_rec // offset from the beginning of the buffer
    }
  The references linking the records in a chain are always placed at the very
  beginning of the record info stored in the join buffer. The records are 
  linked in a circular list. A new record is always added to the end of this 
  list.

  The following picture represents a typical layout for the info stored in the
  join buffer of a join cache object of the JOIN_CACHE_HASHED class.
