[Maria-discuss] KB Question: Client library compatibility

What about its actual MariaDB-versionned compatibility ? I also noted that the client library code is in active and constant development. Is it aimed at evolving at the same time as MariaDB, or will we have, as it's the case for MySQL, a client library for each new MariaDB release ?

[Maria-discuss] Single-threaded performance & optimizer overhead
by Colin Charles 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi! Mark Callaghan asks this on Facebook: While testing single-threaded performance to compare MySQL 5.1 with 5.6 I think there is much more overhead in the optimizer in 5.6. Do you have benchmark results for a single-threaded workload with fast queries (like SELECT one row by PK from a cached table)? I am curious whether new versions of MariaDB have a similar increase in optimizer overhead. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68825 He also wrote a blog post: http://mysqlha.blogspot.com/2013/04/mysql-56-single-thread-update-only.html Might make a great post at our blog cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.

I found that after migration following SQL returns wrong sorted data: SELECT l.part_key, l.part_depth, l.part_order, l.is_header, DATE_FORMAT(ph.internal_date,GET_FORMAT(DATETIME,'ISO')), data FROM dbmail_mimeparts p JOIN dbmail_partlists l ON p.id = l.part_id JOIN dbmail_physmessage ph ON ph.id = l.physmessage_id WHERE l.physmessage_id = <ID> ORDER BY l.part_key,l.part_order ASC; however when I run it from command line it works well. Probably it does not fail always because of not all emails damaged. Not sure if it caused by migration to mariadb, but problem appeared near same time.

[Maria-discuss] WL#4925 and multi-source replication
by Greg 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Hi, I'm testing multi-source replication with 6 sources, it works great ! Now I'm at the "HA" state, testing a master multi-source with DRBD. To do a safe switch between masters, I have to enable sync_binlog=1 and then the master delay grow... I see that WL#4925 suggest a solution that could work : is that job in progress in MariaDB 10 trunk ? And if not, how to ask to include it ? Thanks! -- Greg

[Maria-discuss] unexpected index growth
by Said Ramirez 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

We have noticed a very strange index growth with one of our tables. The data in the table is currently ~ 42GB and has been growing at a rate of about 1 GB per day for the week. Inserts/Updates on the tables are done with statements like: insert into foo ( ...) on duplicate key update ... We have a job which updates about 1/3 of the table 12 times a day. We running Mariadb version 5.5.27-MariaDB-log We noticed that the index sizes have been growing quite a bit: ** 7 days ago *** > select table_name,index_name,index_total_pages, (index_total_pages * 16*1024)/(1024*1024*1024) index_size_gb from INNODB_INDEX_STATS where table_name='foo'; +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | table_name | index_name | index_total_pages | index_size_gb | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | foo | PRIMARY | 1192456 | 18.1954 | | foo | idx_active_deleted | 5647809 | 86.1787 | | foo | idx_last_update_plus | 5329538 | 81.3223 | | foo | active | 8586719 | 131.0229 | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) > optimize table db.foo; +---------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +---------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | db.foo | optimize | note | Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead | | db.foo | optimize | status | OK | +---------------------------------+----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (4 hours 1 min 24.73 sec) > select table_name,index_name,index_total_pages, (index_total_pages * 16*1024)/(1024*1024*1024) index_size_gb from INNODB_INDEX_STATS where table_name='foo'; +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | table_name | index_name | index_total_pages | index_size_gb | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | foo | PRIMARY | 639296 | 9.7549 | | foo | idx_active_deleted | 403520 | 6.1572 | | foo | idx_last_update_plus | 531392 | 8.1084 | | foo | active | 517312 | 7.8936 | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) ** Today ** > select table_name,index_name,index_total_pages, (index_total_pages * 16*1024)/(1024*1024*1024) index_size_gb from INNODB_INDEX_STATS where table_name='foo'; +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | table_name | index_name | index_total_pages | index_size_gb | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | foo | PRIMARY | 1013436 | 15.4638 | | foo | idx_active_deleted | 2478512 | 37.8191 | | foo | idx_last_update_plus | 2459700 | 37.5320 | | foo | active | 3888175 | 59.3288 | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.10 sec) One of the even stranger things is that the slaves of this table do not experience such a noticeable index size growth: [slave] >select table_name,index_name,index_total_pages, (index_total_pages * 16*1024)/(1024*1024*1024) index_size_gb from INNODB_INDEX_STATS where table_name='foo'; +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | table_name | index_name | index_total_pages | index_size_gb | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ | foo | PRIMARY | 1010492 | 15.4189 | | foo | idx_active_deleted | 454510 | 6.9353 | | foo | idx_last_update_plus | 543085 | 8.2868 | | foo | active | 583468 | 8.9030 | +--------------------+----------------------+-------------------+---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.01 sec) Our suspicion is that it has to do with how transactions are executing on the master since on the slaves the insert/updates would be executed in a single thread. However we can't tell why this is happening. Is this a known bug we are hitting ? As anyone else seen this behavior and come up with a solution other than having to run optimize table ? Thanks, -Said
