Description

This PR addresses the issue encountered with MariaDB 10.3 when running gh-ost version 1.1.7. The error occurs due to the use of the transaction_isolation system variable, which is not present in MariaDB 10.3. Instead, MariaDB 10.3 uses tx_isolation to configure the transaction isolation level.

In case this PR introduced Go code changes:

• contributed code is using same conventions as original code
• script/cibuild returns with no formatting errors, build errors or unit test errors.

HI @rashiq @meiji163 @timvaillancourt could you guys review this pr and let me know if any more fix/changes need!
thanks!

Thanks for your PR @Vasanth-96! Ideally we should run the localtests on a MariaDB docker image. I'm not sure if there's one that works out of the box.

Thanks for the suggestion, @meiji163
I’ve already tested the changes locally using a MariaDB 10.3.31 container:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE             COMMAND                  CREATED      STATUS      PORTS                    NAMES  
f8ae17daf37b   mariadb:10.3.31   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   6 days ago   Up 6 days   0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp   mariadb-container-fix

The fallback to tx_isolation is working as expected.
Let me know if you’d like me to add a CI test setup for MariaDB as well!

@meiji163 please if you could checkout the reply comment thanks

Given this comment #1488 (comment), perhaps we should should setting the connection variable directly instead of having a MariaDB flag

[conf]

It's back to transaction_isolation starting from MariaDB 11.1.1. So it's better to add some version check in the code for that.
