[Maria-developers] Doublewrite block number in XtraDB
Hello: In XtraDB, if we adjust the size of doublewrite buffer and relative variable (i.e. srv_doublewrite_batch_size) , in theory, we can get better throughput when buffer pool flush to disk. I wonder that why doublewrite buffer size is 2 block and each flush page number is 120 (decided by srv_doublewrite_batch_size), instead doublewrite size is 8 and each flush page number is 500 or more? Is it worry about that when doing flush will occupy too much resource or other reason? Best Regard Hank Lyu
Hank - A very similar idea has been implemented in XtraDB of Percona Server 5.7, see "Parallel Doublewrite" at https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.7/performance/xtradb_performanc... AFAIK, this feature is not in XtraDB of MariaDB as of today. 2017-02-09 9:32 GMT+02:00 Hank Lyu <hanklgs9564@gmail.com>:

Hi, I think that the doublewrite buffer would become more flexible and perform better if it was moved out of the InnoDB system tablespace. Then we could use any number of pages and not be limited to 128 pages. I filed MDEV-11659 Move the InnoDB doublewrite buffer to flat files <https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-11659> some time ago. I would be glad to see a contributed patch, or maybe I will find time to do it myself at some point in the future. We do not have a working XtraDB in MariaDB Server 10.2. As far as I understand, the copy that is in the source tree at storage/xtradb is based on MySQL 5.6, not on 5.7. The InnoDB in 10.2 is based on MySQL 5.7.

Hi, In MariaDB Server 10.2, is the default storage engine InnoDB instead of XtraDB? The feature MDEV-11659 Move the InnoDB doublewrite buffer to flat files <https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-11659>, I remember that the similarly feature was implement in XtraDB before MariaDB 10.0 and it can set the parameter named innodb_doublewrite_file in my.cnf but removed it from MariaDB 10.0. Is it not worth in MariaDB? Or is it difficult to manage two space (trx_sys_space and trx_doublewrite_space) in development I think?

Hank, Thank you for letting me know about the innodb_doublewrite_file parameter. I understand that it existed in Percona XtraDB for MySQL 5.5 but was not ported to their MySQL 5.6 based XtraDB. The MariaDB documentation at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-doublewrite-buffer/ agrees that the option existed before MariaDB Server 10.0 (which is based on MySQL 5.6). I think that this would be a rather straightforward change from the design point of view. On startup, InnoDB would look for both the doublewrite files (I would consider using one file for each physical page size) and the built-in doublewrite buffer. During operation, InnoDB would only write to the doublewrite files, never to the built-in buffer. I would make the doublewrite file names hard-coded in the datadir root. I do not see any reason to make them configurable. If someone wants the files to be written to a different file system, he could manually create the files elsewhere and let symbolic links point to them from the datadir. Marko
