[Maria-developers] Performance problem: need index-based access when have only non-sargable conditions
by Sergey Petrunya 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi! I was asked about this performance problem: consider a query select * from tbl where tbl.key like '%foo%' Table records are big, much larger than the length of the key. LIKE condition is very selective, however its pattern starts with '%', so we can't construct range access (and they are really searching for matches in word suffixes/infixes, so fulltext index isn't an option). The desired execution strategy is: - Scan the index on tbl.key and collect index tuples that match the LIKE condition. - For those index tuples, retrieve full records. One can simulate it by rewriting the query as a self join: select * from tbl A, tbl B where B.primary_key = A.primary_key AND B.key LIKE '%foo%'; However, in this particular case they have a problem doing such rewrites because the queries are generated by some ORM tool. Proposed solution from our side ------------------------------- It is not difficult to add an execution strategy like this get_next_record() { read index tuple; if (condition satisified) { read full record } } (with optional rowid-ordered retrieval for full records). The difficult part is to find a way to decided whether this strategy should be used. We have no meaningful selectivity estimates for 'column LIKE '%foo%'. The only way we could achieve this is by having the user manually specify condition selectivities. I can see one way to achieve this without getting into painful syntax modifications: select * from tbl where selectivity(tbl.key like '%foo%', 0.05) here 'selectivity(X,y)' will evaluate to value of X, but will also inform the optimizer that P(X is true)=y. Any thoughts about this? BR Sergey -- Sergey Petrunia, Software Developer Monty Program AB, http://askmonty.org Blog: http://s.petrunia.net/blog

At the moment we're parsing the error log, but there should be an easier way of doing this. Parsing the log is not 100%, since the log may still contain tables already repaired. A command ("show crashed tables") could just show the currently crashed tables.

The repair action however occurs at the end, after ALL tables have first been checked. This is inconvenient cause you want to repair any broken tables ideally as soon as the corruption is detected so the table becomes fixed and accessible. So I'd like to get an option which will directly run the repair when corruption is detected, instead of waiting until all tables are checked.

[Maria-developers] I am more than happy to test aria with large databases
by Mark Nielsen 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

I am not a coder, but I can probably help anyways for development. I have CentOS systems at work which I can happily run tests against with large real-world data. They are development systems I can trash. i can't change CentOS that easily (maybe I can use virtual machines), but I can put whatever version of MariaDB on my systems and runs tests against it. If someone wants me to run tests, let me know. When the Aria tables can be used with MERGE, I will be very very happy to test it using a terabyte of data. The Aria engine has some some advantages over MyISAM and InnoDB for some report servers I wish to setup. MERGE is one of the last things for me to recommend it. Anyways, any testing is fine with me. I only have CentOS systems though. Mark

Re: [Maria-developers] Latest libmysqld.so patch

Sergei Golubchik <serg(a)askmonty.org> writes: Thanks for review! What I would now like to do is to discuss how to proceeed (where to push this basically). On the one hand, the patch got rather more intrusive than I first wanted. The main issue is that now the mysys/mystrings/dbug code is linked dynamically by default, so these additional libmysys.so etc. libraries must be installed by packagers etc. for things to work; similarly extra -lmysys etc. is needed when using libmysqld.a. On the other hand, I think this is generally an improvement, linking code dynamically rather than statically. Saves duplicating code and so on, and dynamic linking is where the world is moving (has moved, really). I even tested the overhead of dynamic linking, it is two clock cycles per function call into a different library (I plan to write a short blog about that). So I think it is mainly a question on where we want to risk pushing this: 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3? We could even add it to the list of patches in the .debs for 5.1. (BTW, Gentoo people seems to have picked up the patch already in their MySQL and MariaDB 5.1 packages). And btw, I would like your help/hints on how to extend mysql_config to provide the right information for how to link. With those general remarks, here follow comments, inline: > Can I branch this your tree from somewhere ? bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~knielsen/maria/mariadb-5.1-mwl74-libmysqld.… >> The plugin may optionally specify @plugin_static_if_no_embedded@ in >> CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS for the static target; this will avoid needlessly >> compiling with -fPIC if no libmysqld is being built. > > I failed to understand this paragraph :( With this patch, every source file for a plugin is compiled twice, once with -fPIC and once without. However, if we are not building libmysqld, then the -fPIC versions will never be used. In this case, @plugin_static_if_no_embedded@ will add -static to CFLAGS, avoiding the needless compilations with -fPIC. Otherwise it will be empty. Hope this was clearer. [There is BTW another similar issue: when building a convenience library, libtool will again compile sources both with and without -fPIC. But it only ever uses the -fPIC objects in the convenience library, the objects without -fPIC are not used. I even tested the newest libtool version, and also found an email thread discussing this (and agreeing that the problem is there)]. >> This patch only does what is necessary to build libmysqld.so.

Right, let's add this on top of this patch once we find out where we want to push it? If we link libmysql_r with libmysys, it will also solve another issue I have (with conflicts between C and assembler versions of bmovXXX); I postponed this issue until we decided about linking libmysql_r with mysys etc (it seems you agree we should do this). >> === modified file 'config/ac-macros/plugins.m4' >> --- config/ac-macros/plugins.m4 2010-09-18 07:53:48 +0000 >> +++ config/ac-macros/plugins.m4 2010-09-27 12:41:05 +0000 >> @@ -115,18 +115,32 @@ dnl ------------------------------------ >> dnl Macro: MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC >> dnl >> dnl SYNOPSIS >> -dnl MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC([name],[libmyplugin.a]) >> +dnl MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC([name],[libmyplugin.a],[libmyplugin_embedded.a]) >> dnl >> dnl DESCRIPTION >> -dnl Declare the name for the static library >> +dnl Declare the name for the static library >> +dnl >> +dnl Third argument is optional, only needed for special plugins that depend >> +dnl on server internals and have source files that must be compiled specially >> +dnl with -DEMBEDDED_LIBRARY for embedded server.

No. It means that the plugin Makefile.am has the possibility to specify a different library to be used for embedded. Later in the patch I modify all plugins that need it (ie. they before specified MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS) so that they build a convenience library (once) with all the source files that do not depend on internals. And compile the few source files that do depend on internals in two versions with or without -DEMBEDDED_LIBRARY. And then link those together to two different libraries, one for server, one for embedded. With this, it's basically up to the plugin Makefile.am to do what it wants. >> -AC_DEFUN([MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS],[ >> - MYSQL_REQUIRE_PLUGIN([$1]) >> - m4_define([MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS_]AS_TR_CPP([$1]), [$2]) >> -]) > > I thought we agreed on IRC to keep it. > Do you mean, you tried it and it didn't work? Yes. I tried quite hard to find a way to keep compatibility. But failed :-( In the end I could not think of anything sensible to do for MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS(), so I removed it. This is related to your question below, about keeping compatibility so that eg. PBXT could still work unmodified between MySQL and MariaDB. I thought a lot about how to do this, but in the end failed. The hardest problem is that to link libmysqld.so with libtool, we need plugins to provide libXXX.la files in MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC(). And those libXXX.la simply will not work with the magic loop in MySQL sources that extracts objects from libXXX.a, removes duplicates, and links them back again. At least I couldn't see how to do it. So in the end I gave up on this compatibility. Sad, however a small comfort is that - This only hits plugins that say MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS(), which ideally they shouldn't anyway. - This only hits static plugins, which in any case need an incompatible maria_declare_plugin() added in the source (though this can be handled with #ifdef; I wonder if there is m4/automake equivalent ifdef that could help here?) If you have an idea on how to achieve compatibility and do something sensible for MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS(), then let me know ... >> +# __MYSQL_EMIT_CHECK_PLUGIN arguments: >> +# >> +# 1 - plugin identifying name >> +# 2 - plugin identifying name, with `-' replaced by `_' >> +# 3 - plugin long name >> +# 4 - plugin description >> +# 5 - mysql_plugin_define (eg.

These source files should only be compiled when threads are enabled. There was code to deal with this in two places: here in configure.in, and in mysys/Makefile.am. Each place handled a different set of files, and there was overlap (maybe due to merge error?) Anyway, with pure static libraries, this overlap did not cause problems apparently, but with libtool and .so linking, it caused a failure. So I decided to clean it up to be done in one place only. >> === modified file 'dbug/Makefile.am' >> --- dbug/Makefile.am 2010-08-27 14:12:44 +0000 >> +++ dbug/Makefile.am 2010-09-28 11:23:14 +0000 >> @@ -16,10 +16,10 @@ >> # MA 02111-1307, USA >> >> INCLUDES = -I$(top_builddir)/include -I$(top_srcdir)/include >> -LDADD = libdbug.a ../mysys/libmysys.a ../strings/libmystrings.a >> -pkglib_LIBRARIES = libdbug.a >> +LDADD = libdbug.la ../mysys/libmysys.la ../strings/libmystrings.la > > better to use $(top_builddir)/libmysys.la etc > (here and below) Fixed (throughout the patch) > How's the build time - new, libmysql.so vs. the old libmysqld.a ? Thanks for remind me, I checked.
