mysql 5.6版本分区表有一个文件：表名.par, 该文件在5.7.6版本后被移除。

在一个现场环境中，客户端执行check table后报错如下，源码跟踪下来之后是缺失par文件。

mysql解析par文件的调用堆栈如下：

read_par_file函数中可以看到par文件格式如下所示：

0-4字节：文件的长度len_words，单位是word（4个字节）， 该数值*4是整个文件的字节长度

4-8字节：一个校验值，把len_words的整数进行异或运算，值为0

8-12字节：分区表的数量pa_num， 决定了下一个部分的长度

12- ？字节：该段的长度为pa_num 长度，不足4字节的补足4字节， eg：pa_num为21，占用的24字节

                     每个分区用一个字节存储类型

分区表的名称长度：不足4字节补全4字节

每个分区的名称
