enwiki has been seeing a bunch of slow ApiQueryLogEvents queries:
SELECT /* ApiQueryLogEvents::execute */ /*! STRAIGHT_JOIN */ log_type,
log_action, log_timestamp, log_deleted, log_id, page_id, log_user,
log_user_text, user_name, log_namespace, log_title, log_comment, log_params
FROM `logging` LEFT JOIN `user` ON ((user_id=log_user)) LEFT JOIN `page` ON
((log_namespace=page_namespace) AND (log_title=page_title)) INNER JOIN
`change_tag` ON ((log_id=ct_log_id)) WHERE (log_type != 'suppress') AND ct_tag
= 'Possible self promotion in userspace' ORDER BY log_timestamp DESC LIMIT 11
SELECT /* ApiQueryLogEvents::execute */ /*! STRAIGHT_JOIN */ log_type,
log_action, log_timestamp, log_deleted, log_namespace, log_title, ts_tags FROM
`logging` LEFT JOIN `user` ON ((user_id=log_user)) LEFT JOIN `page` ON
((log_namespace=page_namespace) AND (log_title=page_title)) LEFT JOIN
`tag_summary` ON ((log_id=ts_log_id)) INNER JOIN `change_tag` ON
((log_id=ct_log_id)) WHERE (log_type != 'suppress') AND ct_tag = 'VisualEditor'
ORDER BY log_timestamp DESC LIMIT 11
... and several other similar forms.
In all cases the STRAIGHT_JOIN forces an index scan on logging.times index, or
more rarely a range access on logging.type_time index. Both query plans hit
tens of millions of rows and take many minutes.
Removing the STRAIGHT_JOIN allows the MariaDB query optimizer to choose a plan
that takes seconds. Often it includes a filesort step, but more importantly it
allows "index condition pushdown" which makes the filesort cheap.
