Hi all!

Yesterday evening I hacked up some changes to get rid of some global server
variables that only related to MyISAM and putting those server variables
into the MyISAM plugin's namespace.

As you may or may not know, server variables in a plugin's namespace are
automatically prefixed with the name of the plugin.  And, therefore, I'm
writing this post to get everyone's approval of the following variable name
changes.  Please take special note of the first in the list below.

key_buffer_size => myisam_key_cache_size
key_cache_block_size => myisam_key_cache_block_size
key_cache_division_limit => myisam_key_cache_division_limit
key_cache_age_threshold => myisam_key_cache_age_threshold

Let me know if this is OK.

Thanks!

Jay
This isn't OK. This is great. The semi-generalized sounding names for
myisam variables is a footgun.

Agreed! +1000. Although I thought MyISAM might be going away in Drizzle at some 
point entirely?

Drizzle contributors are trying hard to make MyISAM "just a plugin" like the other storage engines. Whether or not it will go away entirely depends on whether a different plugin steps into its shoes adequately.
