After compiling Percona Server with TokuDB, of course I wanted to compare InnoDB performance vs TokuDB. I have a particular workload I’m interested in testing – it is an insert-intensive workload (which is TokuDB’s strong suit) with some roll-up aggregation, which should produce updates in-place (I will use INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements [...]
MySQL 5.5 and MySQL 5.6 default variable values differences
February 21, 2013 By 8 Comments
As the part of analyzing surprising MySQL 5.5 vs MySQL 5.6 performance results I’ve been looking at changes to default variable values. To do that I’ve loaded the values from MySQL 5.5.30 and MySQL 5.6.10 to the different tables and ran the query:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 | mysql [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > select var55.variable_name,left(var55.variable_value,40) value55, left(var56.variable_value,40) var56 from var55 left join var56 on var55.variable_name=var56.variable_name where var55.variable_value!=var56.variable_value; +---------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ | variable_name | value55 | var56 | +---------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA | OFF | ON | | PID_FILE | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/data/mysq | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/data/mysq | | CHARACTER_SETS_DIR | /mnt/nfs/dist/mysql-5.5.30-linux2.6-x86_ | /mnt/nfs/dist/mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2. | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_COND_INSTANCES | 1000 | 836 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_MUTEX_INSTANCES | 1000000 | 3282 | | OLD_PASSWORDS | OFF | 0 | | INNODB_STATS_ON_METADATA | ON | OFF | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_EVENTS_WAITS_HISTORY_SIZE | 10 | 5 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_EVENTS_WAITS_HISTORY_LONG_SIZE | 10000 | 100 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_RWLOCK_INSTANCES | 1000000 | 1724 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_TABLE_HANDLES | 100000 | 2223 | | INNODB_LOG_FILE_SIZE | 5242880 | 50331648 | | BASEDIR | /mnt/nfs/dist/5.5.30 | /mnt/nfs/dist/5.6.10 | | BACK_LOG | 50 | 80 | | OPEN_FILES_LIMIT | 1024 | 5000 | | INNODB_AUTOEXTEND_INCREMENT | 8 | 64 | | MAX_CONNECT_ERRORS | 10 | 100 | | SORT_BUFFER_SIZE | 2097152 | 262144 | | LC_MESSAGES_DIR | /mnt/nfs/dist/mysql-5.5.30-linux2.6-x86_ | /mnt/nfs/dist/mysql-5.6.10-linux-glibc2. | | MAX_ALLOWED_PACKET | 1048576 | 4194304 | | JOIN_BUFFER_SIZE | 131072 | 262144 | | TMPDIR | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/tmp | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/tmp | | TABLE_OPEN_CACHE | 400 | 2000 | | INNODB_VERSION | 5.5.30 | 1.2.10 | | INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_INSTANCES | 1 | 8 | | QUERY_CACHE_SIZE | 0 | 1048576 | | SLOW_QUERY_LOG_FILE | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/data/dpe0 | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/data/dpe0 | | TABLE_DEFINITION_CACHE | 400 | 1400 | | PORT | 5530 | 5610 | | QUERY_CACHE_TYPE | ON | OFF | | REPORT_PORT | 5530 | 5610 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_FILE_INSTANCES | 10000 | 1556 | | SQL_MODE | | NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION | | INNODB_OLD_BLOCKS_TIME | 0 | 1000 | | LOG_ERROR | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/data/msan | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/data/msan | | VERSION_COMPILE_OS | linux2.6 | linux-glibc2.5 | | THREAD_CACHE_SIZE | 0 | 9 | | PLUGIN_DIR | /mnt/nfs/dist/5.5.30/lib/plugin/ | /mnt/nfs/dist/5.6.10/lib/plugin/ | | SYNC_RELAY_LOG | 0 | 10000 | | GENERAL_LOG_FILE | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/data/dpe0 | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/data/dpe0 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_TABLE_INSTANCES | 50000 | 445 | | SYNC_RELAY_LOG_INFO | 0 | 10000 | | SLAVE_LOAD_TMPDIR | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/tmp | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/tmp | | SECURE_AUTH | OFF | ON | | VERSION | 5.5.30 | 5.6.10 | | INNODB_CONCURRENCY_TICKETS | 500 | 5000 | | INNODB_PURGE_THREADS | 0 | 1 | | INNODB_OPEN_FILES | 300 | 2000 | | INNODB_DATA_FILE_PATH | ibdata1:10M:autoextend | ibdata1:12M:autoextend | | INNODB_PURGE_BATCH_SIZE | 20 | 300 | | PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA_MAX_THREAD_INSTANCES | 1000 | 224 | | SOCKET | /tmp/mysql_sandbox5530.sock | /tmp/mysql_sandbox5610.sock | | INNODB_FILE_PER_TABLE | OFF | ON | | SYNC_MASTER_INFO | 0 | 10000 | | DATADIR | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_5_30/data/ | /mnt/data/sandboxes/msb_5_6_10/data/ | | OPTIMIZER_SWITCH | index_merge=on,index_merge_union=on,inde | index_merge=on,index_merge_union=on,inde | +---------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ 56 rows in set (0.05 sec) |

Aligning IO on a hard disk RAID – the Benchmarks
June 9, 2011 By 13 Comments
In the first part of this article I have showed how I align IO, now I want to share results of the benchmark that I have been running to see how much benefit can we get from a proper IO alignment on a 4-disk RAID1+0 with 64k stripe element. I haven’t been running any benchmarks [...]
