[Maria-discuss] doubt about best engine
by Roberto Spadim 14 May '15

14 May '15

hi guys, i'm with doubt about the "best" engine (best = no INSERT lag ~0.100s or less, good SELECT speed ~ 1 to 10 seconds is ok) i have two tables, they only "receive" INSERT and SELECT queries (no DELETE/UPDATE/ALTER) they increase 200MB/day and 3.000.000 rows/day my doubt is, how to have small database size and good read rate? it have ~ 104 inserts / second, but each insert is multi values like ... INSERT INTO table VALUES (),(),(),(),(),() .... in other words... today i'm using aria (it's crash safe) and i don't have problems with concurrent insert / table locks etc, my doubt is about table size and read speed with bigger database i'm considering using spider engine or any other shard system with >100GB , or maybe a big raid-6 system, server is a xeon 8core with 16GB and 2hd 500GB RAID1 SAS (>180MB/s) the client side is a C++ program that i don't have access to change and recompile it, in other words i can only change server side and load balance data table is something like: (datetime decimal(22,6),value decimal(22,6)) the SELECT code use most part of recent data ~5 DAYS, in outlier queries something near to ~1 MONTH ago ideas are wellcome -- Roberto Spadim

[Maria-discuss] Innodb Page Compression
by Rhys Campbell 13 May '15

13 May '15

Hello All, I have compiled mariadb 10.1.4 from source to have a play with innodb page compression. Not sure if these are bug or misunderstanding on my part, probably a combination of both... I am running in a CentOS 7 x64 VirtualBox VM 10.1.4-MariaDB-wsrep. The compile support for page compression seems to have worked ok... SHOW STATUS LIKE 'innodb_have%'; [cid:image001.png@01D08D88.E9019C90] My experiments have been with the following example database... https://launchpad.net/test-db/employees-db-1/1.0.6/+download/employees_db-f… When this is loaded onto a default install of mariadb (InnoDB Antelope / no compression) The db size is... du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB The when I run ALTER TABLE .. ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED the db size is... du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 119MB Next I performed a series of reloads of this database after changing the compression algorithm. Note the total db size doesn't change apart from when compression is lzma. SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='zlib'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='lz4'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='lzo'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='lzma'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 308MB SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='bzip2'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='snappy'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='lzma'; SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_level=9; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 232M SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='zlib'; SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_level=9; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 385MB Note if you then try to execute.. ALTER TABLE departments ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED; Table storage engine 'InnoDB' does not support the create option 'PAGE_COMPRESSED' On further reading the documentation<https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/innodbxtradb-page-compression/> I noted the "Persistent Trim" section. So I tried... SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='zlib'; SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_level=9; SET GLOBAL innodb_use_trim=ON; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 320MB Note the db size is smaller by 65MB FYI innodb_page_compression_saved = 0 at this point. Next I tried the following settings.. vi /etc/my.cnf.d/innodb_compression.cnf innodb_file_format=Barracuda innodb_file_format_max=Barracuda innodb_compression_algorithm=zlib innodb_compression_level=9 innodb_use_trim=1 innodb_use_fallocate=1 du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 232M SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='lz4'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 232M innodb_page_compression_saved = 0 # All other counters for SHOW STATUS LIKE '%compres%' are zero SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='lzma'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 232M SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='bzip2'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 232M SET GLOBAL innodb_compression_algorithm='snappy'; du -sh /var/lib/mysql/employees - 232M innodb_page_compression_saved = 0 # All other counters for SHOW STATUS LIKE '%compres%' are zero information_schema tables INNODB_CMP, INNODB_CMP_RESET, INNODB_CMPMEM & INNODB_CMP_RESET all zero. So I guess the questions here would be... 1. Why when trim is not used is the db size unchanged apart from lzma? 2. Why is the compressed size the same for all algorithms? Is the correct algorithm being used? 3. Can I confirm which algorithm has been used for a page. I can't see anything in information_schema 4. Status variables / info schema not working? 5. ALTER TABLE ... PAGE_COMPRESSED = 1 doesn't work. Must I always do a full dump & load to enable page compression? 6. Lzma/9 compression is not that impressive. Is it meant to rival tokudb? (converting to tokudb results in a db size of ~ 54MB and this includes logs!)

Re: [Maria-discuss] fsync necessary for synchronous page flush?
by Xiaofei Du 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hi Jan, Thanks for clarification. I should have used synchronous write, instead of synchronous flush. My point is that I noticed for sync writes, fsync is called to force pages to be on persistent storage. while for AIO pages, fsync is not called to force pages to be on persistent storage. My question here is why fsync is required for sync IOs. Does InnoDB maintain a dirty page table? Is fsync called to guarantee the page to be on persistent storage so that the dirty page table can be updated? If this is the case, when is the dirty page table updated for asynchronous IOs? P.S. I couldn't find code for dirty page table. So I am not sure if InnoDB maintains a dirty page table for recovery. Could you please give me a pointer to related code and related resources? Thanks.

[Maria-discuss] innodb_file_per_table default setting in the online documentation
by Pantelis Theodosiou 08 May '15

08 May '15

I was looking for the default setting of this variable and the MariaDB documentation <https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#inn…> has: > *Default Value:* OFF (>= MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.7), ON (MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.0 to 5.5.6) while MySQL documentation <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb…> has (I think correctly): *Permitted Values* (<= 5.6.5) *Type* boolean* Default *OFF *Permitted Values* (>= 5.6.6) *Type *boolean* Default *ON So, I see two issues: - first, the changing version is 5.6.6 (not 5.5.7), at least in MySQL, and - second, the values OFF / ON in the Maria documentation are reversed. Apologies if this is not the correct list to raise the issue. Pantelis Theodosiou

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Multi Master Replication and Skip Error
by AskMonty KB 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Community" by markwass. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/multi-master-replication-and-skip-error/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- Hi Guys I have 3 MariaDB 10 servers all running on Ubuntu 14.04 in a multi master replication setup. I had an issue the other day with replication where one of my slaves was asking me to run "SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter=1; start slave;" After running the command it did not fix the issue. So I tried "stop all slaves; SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter=1; start all slaves;" and still the issue was there. I'm wondering if it's because I'm using GlobaI Transaction ID's? Using_Gtid: Slave_Pos If this is the case then can some one explain to me how I would over come this replication error while using Global Transaction ID's? Thanks -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/multi-master-replication-and-skip-error/
