I've been seeing some weirdness w/ MySQL and InnoDB over the past few days. I have a database that's entirely using InnoDB. The database is roughly 4.5G (one datafile) and contains a little over 50 tables. The web applications that hit this database do about 85-90% reads and 10-15% writes. Whenever a write comes in, it seems that subsequent reads get blocked to the _ENTIRE DATABASE_. What really confuses me is that reads even to other tables that aren't any way involved with the table that's being written to are waiting until the write completes. I do not use any foreign key relationships which could block a parent row.
Whenever I run "show processlist", everything looks fine until a write comes in. Reads are answered < 1 sec, and generally don't even appear on the processlist. However, as soon as a write hits, all of the reads are in a state of "NULL" until the write completes. This problem is compounded when several different writes happen from different connections at the same time. It leads to the MySQL server blocking long enough that the number of reads in the queue exceed the number of max connections. Once the writes happen, all of the read queries in the queue get answered and the normal processing continues. I've included two samples from the "show processlist" command. They were taken approx. 1 second apart and show the growing amount of reads when writes are in the queue. I've removed the User and Host columns as they don't seem to be relevant as well as trimmed the state column down. I've also included the my.cnf config file and an output of "show status". Additionally, I'm running Redhat 7.3 - kernel ver. 2.4.20-28.7bigmem #1 SMP Any help on eliminating this bottleneck would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. -andy ================================= process list 1 ================================= +----------+------+-------------+--------+---------+------------------------------------ | Id | db |
