This commits adds the "materialization" block to the output of
EXPLAIN/ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON when materialized subqueries are involved
into processing. In the case of ANALYZE additional runtime information
is displayed, such as:
- chosen strategy of materialization
- number of partial match/index lookup loops
- sizes of partial match buffers
Part#2, variant 2: Make the printed r_ values in JSON output consistent.
After this patch, ANALYZE output has:
- r_index_rows (NEW) - Observed number of rows before ICP or Rowid Filtering
checks. This is a per-scan average. like r_rows and "rows" are.
- r_rows (AS BEFORE) - Observed number of rows after ICP and Rowid Filtering.
- r_icp_filtered (NEW) - Observed selectivity of ICP condition.
- (AS BEFORE) observed selectivity of Rowid Filter is in
$.rowid_filter.r_selectivity_pct
- r_total_filtered - Observed combined selectivity: fraction of rows left
after applying ICP condition, Rowid Filter, and attached_condition.
This is now comparable with "filtered" and is printed right after it.
- r_filtered (AS BEFORE) - Observed selectivity of "attached_condition".
Tabular ANALYZE output is not changed. Note that JSON's r_filtered and
r_rows have the same meanings as before and have the same meaning as in
tabular output.
(Based on the original patch by Jason Cu)
Part #1:
- Add ha_handler_stats::{icp_attempts,icp_match}, make
handler_index_cond_check() increment them.
- ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON now prints r_icp_filtered based on these counters.
ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON output now includes table.r_engine_stats which
has the engine statistics. Only non-zero members are printed.
Internally: EXPLAIN data structures Explain_table_acccess and
Explain_update now have handler* handler_for_stats pointer.
It is used to read statistics from handler_for_stats->handler_stats.
The following applies only to 10.9+, backport doesn't use it:
Explain data structures exist after the tables are closed. We avoid
walking invalid pointers using this:
- SQL layer calls Explain_query::notify_tables_are_closed() before
closing tables.
- After that call, printing of JSON output is disabled. Non-JSON output
can be printed but we don't access handler_for_stats when doing that.
Introduces @@optimizer_switch flag: hash_join_cardinality
When this option is on, use EITS statistics to produce tighter bounds
for hash join output cardinality.
This patch is an extension / replacement to a similar patch in 10.6
New features:
- optimizer_switch hash_join_cardinality is on by default
- records_out is set to fanout when HASH is used
- Fixed bug in is_eits_usable: The function did not work with views
After MDEV-30830 has added block-nl-join.r_unpack_time_ms, it became
apparent that there is some unaccounted-for time in BNL join operation,
namely the time that is spent after unpacking the join buffer record.
Fix this by adding a Gap_time_tracker to track the time that is spent
after unpacking the join buffer record and before any next time tracking.
The collected time is printed in block-nl-join.r_other_time_ms.

In block-nl-join, add:
- r_loops - this shows how many incoming record combinations this
query plan node had.
- r_effective_rows - this shows the average number of matching rows
that this table had for each incoming record combination. This is
comparable with r_rows in non-blocked access methods.
For BNL-joins, it is always equal to
$.table.r_rows * $.table.r_filtered
For BNL-H joins the value cannot be computed from other values

The main difference in code path between EQ_REF and REF is that for
REF we have to do an extra read_next on the index to check that there
is no more matching rows.
Before this patch we added a preference of EQ_REF by ensuring that REF
would always estimate to find at least 2 rows.
This patch adds the cost of the extra key read_next to REF access and
removes the code that limited REF to at least 2 rows. For some queries
this can have a big effect as the total estimated rows will be halved
for each REF table with 1 rows.
multi_range cost calculations are also changed to take into account
the difference between EQ_REF and REF.
The effect of the patch to the test suite:
- About 80 test case changed
- Almost all changes where for EXPLAIN where estimated rows for REF
where changed from 2 to 1.
- A few test cases using explain extended had a change of 'filtered'.
This is because of the estimated rows are now closer to the
calculated selectivity.
- A very few test had a change of table order.
This is because the change of estimated rows from 2 to 1 or the small
cost change for REF
(main.subselect_sj_jcl6, main.group_by, main.dervied_cond_pushdown,
main.distinct, main.join_nested, main.order_by, main.join_cache)
- No key statistics and the estimated rows are now smaller which cased
estimated filtering to be lower.
(main.subselect_sj_mat)
- The number of total rows are halved.
(main.derived_cond_pushdown)
- Plans with 1 row changed to use RANGE instead of REF.
(main.group_min_max)
- ALL changed to REF
(main.key_diff)
- Key changed from ref + index_only to PRIMARY key for InnoDB, as
OPTIMIZER_ROW_LOOKUP_COST + OPTIMIZER_ROW_NEXT_FIND_COST is smaller than
OPTIMIZER_KEY_LOOKUP_COST + OPTIMIZER_KEY_NEXT_FIND_COST.
(main.join_outer_innodb)
- Cost changes printouts
(main.opt_trace*)
- Result order change
(innodb_gis.rtree)
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)
This makes it easier to compare different costs and also allows
the optimizer to optimizer different storage engines more reliably.
- Added tests/check_costs.pl, a tool to verify optimizer cost calculations.
- Most engine costs has been found with this program. All steps to
calculate the new costs are documented in Docs/optimizer_costs.txt
- User optimizer_cost variables are given in microseconds (as individual
costs can be very small). Internally they are stored in ms.
- Changed DISK_READ_COST (was DISK_SEEK_BASE_COST) from a hard disk cost
(9 ms) to common SSD cost (400MB/sec).
- Removed cost calculations for hard disks (rotation etc).
- Changed the following handler functions to return IO_AND_CPU_COST.
This makes it easy to apply different cost modifiers in ha_..time()
functions for io and cpu costs.
- scan_time()
- rnd_pos_time() & rnd_pos_call_time()
- keyread_time()
- Enhanched keyread_time() to calculate the full cost of reading of a set
of keys with a given number of ranges and optional number of blocks that
need to be accessed.
- Removed read_time() as keyread_time() + rnd_pos_time() can do the same
thing and more.
- Tuned cost for: heap, myisam, Aria, InnoDB, archive and MyRocks.
Used heap table costs for json_table. The rest are using default engine
costs.
- Added the following new optimizer variables:
- optimizer_disk_read_ratio
- optimizer_disk_read_cost
- optimizer_key_lookup_cost
- optimizer_row_lookup_cost
- optimizer_row_next_find_cost
- optimizer_scan_cost
- Moved all engine specific cost to OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure.
- Changed costs to use 'records_out' instead of 'records_read' when
recalculating costs.
- Split optimizer_costs.h to optimizer_costs.h and optimizer_defaults.h.
This allows one to change costs without having to compile a lot of
files.
- Updated costs for filter lookup.
- Use a better cost estimate in best_extension_by_limited_search()
for the sorting cost.
- Fixed previous issues with 'filtered' explain column as we are now
using 'records_out' (min rows seen for table) to calculate filtering.
This greatly simplifies the filtering code in
JOIN_TAB::save_explain_data().
This change caused a lot of queries to be optimized differently than
before, which exposed different issues in the optimizer that needs to
be fixed. These fixes are in the following commits. To not have to
change the same test case over and over again, the changes in the test
cases are done in a single commit after all the critical change sets
are done.
InnoDB changes:
- Updated InnoDB to not divide big range cost with 2.
- Added cost for InnoDB (innobase_update_optimizer_costs()).
- Don't mark clustered primary key with HA_KEYREAD_ONLY. This will
prevent that the optimizer is trying to use index-only scans on
the clustered key.
- Disabled ha_innobase::scan_time() and ha_innobase::read_time() and
ha_innobase::rnd_pos_time() as the default engine cost functions now
works good for InnoDB.
Other things:
- Added --show-query-costs (\Q) option to mysql.cc to show the query
cost after each query (good when working with query costs).
- Extended my_getopt with GET_ADJUSTED_VALUE which allows one to adjust
the value that user is given. This is used to change cost from
microseconds (user input) to milliseconds (what the server is
internally using).
- Added include/my_tracker.h ; Useful include file to quickly test
costs of a function.
- Use handler::set_table() in all places instead of 'table= arg'.
- Added SHOW_OPTIMIZER_COSTS to sys variables. These are input and
shown in microseconds for the user but stored as milliseconds.
This is to make the numbers easier to read for the user (less
pre-zeros). Implemented in 'Sys_var_optimizer_cost' class.
- In test_quick_select() do not use index scans if 'no_keyread' is set
for the table. This is what we do in other places of the server.
- Added THD parameter to Unique::get_use_cost() and
check_index_intersect_extension() and similar functions to be able
to provide costs to called functions.
- Changed 'records' to 'rows' in optimizer_trace.
- Write more information to optimizer_trace.
- Added INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_MUL (4) and INDEX_BLOCK_FILL_FACTOR_DIV (3)
to calculate usage space of keys in b-trees. (Before we used numeric
constants).
- Removed code that assumed that b-trees has similar costs as binary
trees. Replaced with engine calls that returns the cost.
- Added Bitmap::find_first_bit()
- Added timings to join_cache for ANALYZE table (patch by Sergei Petrunia).
- Added records_init and records_after_filter to POSITION to remember
more of what best_access_patch() calculates.
- table_after_join_selectivity() changed to recalculate 'records_out'
based on the new fields from best_access_patch()
Bug fixes:
- Some queries did not update last_query_cost (was 0). Fixed by moving
setting thd->...last_query_cost in JOIN::optimize().
- Write '0' as number of rows for const tables with a matching row.
Some internals:
- Engine cost are stored in OPTIMIZER_COSTS structure. When a
handlerton is created, we also created a new cost variable for the
handlerton. We also create a new variable if the user changes a
optimizer cost for a not yet loaded handlerton either with command
line arguments or with SET
@@global.engine.optimizer_cost_variable=xx.
- There are 3 global OPTIMIZER_COSTS variables:
default_optimizer_costs The default costs + changes from the
command line without an engine specifier.
heap_optimizer_costs Heap table costs, used for temporary tables
tmp_table_optimizer_costs The cost for the default on disk internal
temporary table (MyISAM or Aria)
- The engine cost for a table is stored in table_share. To speed up
accesses the handler has a pointer to this. The cost is copied
to the table on first access. If one wants to change the cost one
must first update the global engine cost and then do a FLUSH TABLES.
This was done to be able to access the costs for an open table
without any locks.
- When a handlerton is created, the cost are updated the following way:
See sql/keycaches.cc for details:
- Use 'default_optimizer_costs' as a base
- Call hton->update_optimizer_costs() to override with the engines
default costs.
- Override the costs that the user has specified for the engine.
- One handler open, copy the engine cost from handlerton to TABLE_SHARE.
- Call handler::update_optimizer_costs() to allow the engine to update
cost for this particular table.
- There are two costs stored in THD. These are copied to the handler
when the table is used in a query:
- optimizer_where_cost
- optimizer_scan_setup_cost
- Simply code in best_access_path() by storing all cost result in a
structure. (Idea/Suggestion by Igor)

sprintf() format of double changed from '%lg' to '%-.11lg'
The change was to make it easier to read optimizer trace output
with tables that has millions of records.
This task deals with packing the sort key inside the sort buffer, which would
lead to efficient usage of the memory allocated for the sort buffer.
The changes brought by this feature are
1) Sort buffers would have sort keys of variable length
2) The format for sort keys inside the sort buffer would look like
|<sort_length><null_byte><key_part1><null_byte><key_part2>.......|
sort_length is the extra bytes that are required to store the variable
length of a sort key.
3) When packing of sort key is done we store the ORIGINAL VALUES inside
the sort buffer and not the STRXFRM form (mem-comparable sort keys).
4) Special comparison function packed_keys_comparison() is introduced
to compare 2 sort keys.
This patch also contains contributions from Sergei Petrunia.
Count the "gap" time between table accesses and display it as
r_other_time_ms in the "table" element.
* The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't add any new
my_timer_cycles() calls.
* The disadvantage is that the definition of what is done during
"other time" is not that clear: it includes checking the WHERE
(for this table), constructing index lookup tuple (for the next table)
writing to GROUP BY temporary table (as we dont account for that time
separately [yet], etc)
This patch contains a full implementation of the optimization
that allows to use in-memory rowid / primary filters built for range
conditions over indexes. In many cases usage of such filters reduce
the number of disk seeks spent for fetching table rows.
In this implementation the choice of what possible filter to be applied
(if any) is made purely on cost-based considerations.
This implementation re-achitectured the partial implementation of
the feature pushed by Galina Shalygina in the commit
8d5a11122c.
Besides this patch contains a better implementation of the generic
handler function handler::multi_range_read_info_const() that
takes into account gaps between ranges when calculating the cost of
range index scans. It also contains some corrections of the
implementation of the handler function records_in_range() for MyISAM.
This patch supports the feature for InnoDB and MyISAM.
