I noticed a very strange problem with innodb. Using 'show index from xyz' to check cardinality, we noticed the cardinality keep change. The table is not written to at the time. I cannot explain it other than treat it as a bug. The server has been up for 83+ days. Below are the background info. Please let me know if you see the same problem and/or know the cause.
Thanks.
