Per Sean Pringle:
> In all cases the STRAIGHT_JOIN forces an index scan on logging.times
> index, or more rarely a range access on logging.type_time index. Both
> query plans hit tens of millions of rows and take many minutes.
>
> Removing the STRAIGHT_JOIN allows the MariaDB query optimizer to
> choose a plan that takes seconds. Often it includes a filesort step,
> but more importantly it allows "index condition pushdown" which makes
> the filesort cheap.
