MySQL Performance Schema in Action: the Complete Tutorial
Performance Schema is powerful diagnostic instrument for:
- Query performance
- Complicated locking issues
- Memory leaks
- Resource usage
- Problematic behavior, caused by inappropriate settings
- More
It comes with hundreds of options which allow precisely tune what to instrument. More than 100 consumers store collected data.
In this tutorial we will try all important instruments out. We will provide test environment and few typical problems which could be hardly solved without Performance Schema. You will not only learn how to collect and use this information, but have experience with it.
Billion Goods in Few Categories: how Histograms Save a Life?
We store data with the intention to use it: search, retrieve, group, sort... To perform these actions effectively MySQL storage engines index data and communicate statistics with the Optimizer when it compiles a query execution plan. This approach works perfectly well unless your data distribution is not even.
Last year I worked on several tickets where data follow the same pattern: millions of popular products fit into a couple of categories and rest used the rest. We had a hard time to find a solution for retrieving goods fast. Workarounds for version 5.7 were offered. However new MySQL 8.0 feature: histograms, - would work better, cleaner and faster. This is how the idea of the talk was born.
I will discuss
- how index statistics physically stored
- which data exchanged with the Optimizer
- why it is not enough to make correct index choice
In the end, I will explain which issues resolve histograms and why using index statistics is insufficient for fast retrieving of not evenly distributed data.
