Let us remove explicit updates of MONITOR_NUM_UNDO_SLOT_USED
and MONITOR_NUM_UNDO_SLOT_CACHED, and let us compute the rough values
from trx_sys.rseg_array[] on demand.
In MariaDB, we have a confusing problem where:
* The transaction_isolation option can be set in a configuration file, but it cannot be set dynamically.
* The tx_isolation system variable can be set dynamically, but it cannot be set in a configuration file.
Therefore, we have two different names for the same thing in different contexts. This is needlessly confusing, and it complicates the documentation. The same thing applys for transaction_read_only.
MySQL 5.7 solved this problem by making them into system variables. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-20.html
This commit takes a similar approach by adding new system variables and marking the original ones as deprecated. This commit also resolves some legacy problems related to SET STATEMENT and transaction_isolation.
mtr uses group suffix, but some existing inc and test files use
server_id for expect files. This patch aims to fix that.
For spider:
With this change we will not have to maintain a separate version of
restart_mysqld.inc for spider, that duplicates code, just because
spider tests use different names for expect files, and shutdown_mysqld
requires magical names for them.
With this change spider tests will also be able to use other features
provided by restart_mysqld.inc without code duplication, like the
parameter $restart_parameters (see e.g. the testcase mdev_29904.test
in commit ef1161e5d4f).
Tests run after this change: default, spider, rocksdb, galera, using
the following command
mtr --parallel=auto --force --max-test-fail=0 --skip-core-file
mtr --suite spider,spider/*,spider/*/* \
--skip-test="spider/oracle.*|.*/t\..*" --parallel=auto --big-test \
--force --max-test-fail=0 --skip-core-file
mtr --suite galera --parallel=auto
mtr --suite rocksdb --parallel=auto
For more convenient monitoring of something that could greatly affect
the volume of page writes, we add the status variable
Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_split that was previously only available
via information_schema.innodb_metrics as "innodb_page_splits".
This was suggested by Axel Schwenke.
buf_flush_page_count: Replaced with buf_pool.stat.n_pages_written.
We protect buf_pool.stat (except n_page_gets) with buf_pool.mutex
and remove unnecessary export_vars indirection.
buf_pool.flush_list_bytes: Moved from buf_pool.stat.flush_list_bytes.
Protected by buf_pool.flush_list_mutex.
buf_pool_t::page_cleaner_status: Replaces buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU_,
buf_pool_t::n_flush_list_, and buf_pool_t::page_cleaner_is_idle.
Protected by buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. We will exclusively broadcast
buf_pool.done_flush_list by the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread,
and only wait for it when communicating with buf_flush_page_cleaner.
There is no need to keep a count of pending writes by the
buf_pool.flush_list processing. A single flag suffices for that.
Waits for page write completion can be performed by
simply waiting on block->page.lock, or by invoking
buf_dblwr.wait_for_page_writes().
buf_LRU_block_free_non_file_page(): Broadcast buf_pool.done_free and
set buf_pool.try_LRU_scan when freeing a page. This would be
executed also as part of buf_page_write_complete().
buf_page_write_complete(): Do not broadcast buf_pool.done_flush_list,
and do not acquire buf_pool.mutex unless buf_pool.LRU eviction is needed.
Let buf_dblwr count all writes to persistent pages and broadcast a
condition variable when no outstanding writes remain.
buf_flush_page_cleaner(): Prioritize LRU flushing and eviction right after
"furious flushing" (lsn_limit). Simplify the conditions and reduce the
hold time of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. Refuse to shut down
or sleep if buf_pool.ran_out(), that is, LRU eviction is needed.
buf_pool_t::page_cleaner_wakeup(): Add the optional parameter for_LRU.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Protect buf_lru_free_blocks_error_printed
with buf_pool.mutex. Invoke buf_pool.page_cleaner_wakeup(true) to
to ensure that buf_flush_page_cleaner() will process the LRU flush
request.
buf_do_LRU_batch(), buf_flush_list(), buf_flush_list_space():
Update buf_pool.stat.n_pages_written when submitting writes
(while holding buf_pool.mutex), not when completing them.
buf_page_t::flush(), buf_flush_discard_page(): Require that
the page U-latch be acquired upfront, and remove
buf_page_t::ready_for_flush().
buf_pool_t::delete_from_flush_list(): Remove the parameter "bool clear".
buf_flush_page(): Count pending page writes via buf_dblwr.
buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Take the block of page_id as a parameter.
If the tablespace is dropped before our page has been written out,
release the page U-latch.
buf_pool_invalidate(): Let the caller ensure that there are no
outstanding writes.
buf_flush_wait_batch_end(false),
buf_flush_wait_batch_end_acquiring_mutex(false):
Replaced with buf_dblwr.wait_for_page_writes().
buf_flush_wait_LRU_batch_end(): Replaces buf_flush_wait_batch_end(true).
buf_flush_list(): Remove some broadcast of buf_pool.done_flush_list.
buf_flush_buffer_pool(): Invoke also buf_dblwr.wait_for_page_writes().
buf_pool_t::io_pending(), buf_pool_t::n_flush_list(): Remove.
Outstanding writes are reflected by buf_dblwr.pending_writes().
buf_dblwr_t::init(): New function, to initialize the mutex and
the condition variables, but not the backing store.
buf_dblwr_t::is_created(): Replaces buf_dblwr_t::is_initialised().
buf_dblwr_t::pending_writes(), buf_dblwr_t::writes_pending:
Keeps track of writes of persistent data pages.
buf_flush_LRU(): Allow calls while LRU flushing may be in progress
in another thread.
Tested by Matthias Leich (correctness) and Axel Schwenke (performance)
This was done after discussions with Igor, Sanja and Bar.
The main reason for removing the deprication was to ensure that MariaDB
is always backward compatible whenever possible.
Other things:
- Added statistics counters, mainly for the feedback plugin.
- INTO OUTFILE
- INTO variable
- If INTO is using the old syntax (end of query)
This includes all test changes from
"Changing all cost calculation to be given in milliseconds"
and forwards.
Some of the things that caused changes in the result files:
- As part of fixing tests, I added 'echo' to some comments to be able to
easier find out where things where wrong.
- MATERIALIZED has now a higher cost compared to X than before. Because
of this some MATERIALIZED types have changed to DEPENDEND SUBQUERY.
- Some test cases that required MATERIALIZED to repeat a bug was
changed by adding more rows to force MATERIALIZED to happen.
- 'Filtered' in SHOW EXPLAIN has in many case changed from 100.00 to
something smaller. This is because now filtered also takes into
account the smallest possible ref access and filters, even if they
where not used. Another reason for 'Filtered' being smaller is that
we now also take into account implicit filtering done for subqueries
using FIRSTMATCH.
(main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
This is caluculated in best_access_path() and stored in records_out.
- Table orders has changed because more accurate costs.
- 'index' and 'ALL' for small tables has changed to use 'range' or
'ref' because of optimizer_scan_setup_cost.
- index can be changed to 'range' as 'range' optimizer assumes we don't
have to read the blocks from disk that range optimizer has already read.
This can be confusing in the case where there is no obvious where clause
but instead there is a hidden 'key_column > NULL' added by the optimizer.
(main.subselect_no_exists_to_in)
- Scan on primary clustered key does not report 'Using Index' anymore
(It's a table scan, not an index scan).
- For derived tables, the number of rows is now 100 instead of 2,
which can be seen in EXPLAIN.
- More tests have "Using index for group by" as the cost of this
optimization is now more correct (lower).
- A primary key could be preferred for a normal key, even if it would
access more rows, as it's faster to do 1 lokoup and 3 'index_next' on a
clustered primary key than one lookup trough a secondary.
(main.stat_tables_innodb)
Notes:
- There was a 4.7% more calls to best_extension_by_limited_search() in
the main.greedy_optimizer test. However examining the test results
it looked that the plans where slightly better (eq_ref where more
chained together) so I assume this is ok.
- I have verified a few test cases where there was notable/unexpected
changes in the plan and in all cases the new optimizer plans where
faster. (main.greedy_optimizer and some others)
The purpose of the change buffer was to reduce random disk access,
which could be useful on rotational storage, but maybe less so on
solid-state storage.
When we wished to
(1) insert a record into a non-unique secondary index,
(2) delete-mark a secondary index record,
(3) delete a secondary index record as part of purge (but not ROLLBACK),
and the B-tree leaf page where the record belongs to is not in the buffer
pool, we inserted a record into the change buffer B-tree, indexed by
the page identifier. When the page was eventually read into the buffer
pool, we looked up the change buffer B-tree for any modifications to the
page, applied these upon the completion of the read operation. This
was called the insert buffer merge.
We remove the change buffer, because it has been the source of
various hard-to-reproduce corruption bugs, including those fixed in
commit 5b9ee8d819 and
commit 165564d3c3 but not limited to them.
A downgrade will fail with a clear message starting with
commit db14eb16f9 (MDEV-30106).
buf_page_t::state: Merge IBUF_EXIST to UNFIXED and
WRITE_FIX_IBUF to WRITE_FIX.
buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove.
trx_t: Move isolation_level, check_foreigns, check_unique_secondary,
bulk_insert into the same bit-field. The only purpose of
trx_t::check_unique_secondary is to enable bulk insert into an
empty table. It no longer enables insert buffering for UNIQUE INDEX.
btr_cur_t::thr: Remove. This field was originally needed for change
buffering. Later, its use was extended to cover SPATIAL INDEX.
Much of the time, rtr_info::thr holds this field. When it does not,
we will add parameters to SPATIAL INDEX specific functions.
ibuf_upgrade_needed(): Check if the change buffer needs to be updated.
ibuf_upgrade(): Merge and upgrade the change buffer after all redo log
has been applied. Free any pages consumed by the change buffer, and
zero out the change buffer root page to mark the upgrade completed,
and to prevent a downgrade to an earlier version.
dict_load_tablespaces(): Renamed from
dict_check_tablespaces_and_store_max_id(). This needs to be invoked
before ibuf_upgrade().
btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos(): Specialize for use in persistent statistics.
The change buffer merge does not need this function anymore.
btr_page_alloc(): Renamed from btr_page_alloc_low(). We no longer
allocate any change buffer pages.
btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos(): Specialize for use in persistent statistics.
The change buffer merge does not need this function anymore.
row_search_index_entry(), btr_lift_page_up(): Add a parameter thr
for the SPATIAL INDEX case.
rtr_page_split_and_insert(): Specialized from btr_page_split_and_insert().
rtr_root_raise_and_insert(): Specialized from btr_root_raise_and_insert().
Note: The support for upgrading from the MySQL 3.23 or MySQL 4.0
change buffer format that predates the MySQL 4.1 introduction of
the option innodb_file_per_table was removed in MySQL 5.6.5
as part of mysql/mysql-server@69b6241a79
and MariaDB 10.0.11 as part of 1d0f70c2f8.
In the tests innodb.log_upgrade and innodb.log_corruption, we create
valid (upgraded) change buffer pages.
Tested by: Matthias Leich
The parameter innodb_prefix_index_cluster_optimization used to enable an
optimization that was added in cb37c55768
and was disabled by default.
We will unconditionally enable the extension and mark the parameter
as deprecated.
Related to this, the counters
Innodb_secondary_index_triggered_cluster_reads and
Innodb_secondary_index_triggered_cluster_reads_avoided
allowed to determine the usefulness of this optimization.
Now that the configuration parameter is disabled, the counters
do not serve any useful purpose and can be removed.
row_search_with_covering_prefix(): Fix a bug that caused an
incorrect result to be returned.
