That shouldn't happen, since get_lock() will only succeed for one mysql
connection at a time. If you can easily edit the code that is running these
queries, can you add a "select is_used_lock('x,y,zoom')" query right after
your first query, and another one just before your compute client exits?
(You'll have to build the "x,y,zoom" string from the values returned by the
first query) It'd be nice if there was an information_schema table that
listed all currently-held locks, but there isn't :(
is_used_lock() will return the mysql connection ID of the session holding
the lock, so what I am expecting to see is zeros, meaning that for some
reason your mysql connection is getting dropped after your first query
completed. Locks are held for the lifetime of a connection, so if you
disconnect, your lock disappears.
