We've got an InnoDB table with 70 million rows, and we have been trying to run an alter table statement to modify and add a couple of columns. The query seems to have altered the table, and is now in the state of 'committing alter table to storage engine'.

START TRANSACTION; ALTER TABLE table MODIFY COLUMN column1 int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, MODIFY COLUMN column2 tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 1, ADD COLUMN column3 int(11), ADD COLUMN column4 int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 1, ADD COLUMN column5 varchar(255); COMMIT;

This has been running overnight, and is at 19 hours at the current time. We do not have the performance schema enabled so cannot look at an estimated time of completion. My concern lies as to what the query is doing and whether the query will rollback if killed. I have seen other questions relate to queries that are stuck in copying to tmp tables, or awaiting a table lock. However I cannot find anything about being stuck while the alter table is committing.

Is it safe to kill a query in this state, and if the query is killed, will it rollback successfully?
