【问题描述】

线上我们偶尔会碰到MySQL的状态是statistics. 但如果出现大量的statistics等待,会引起MySQL性能急剧下降。官方的文档对这个状态的解释如下:

The server is calculating statistics to develop a query execution plan. If a thread is in this state for a long time, the server is probably disk-bound performing other work.

这段话的意思是说,statistics这个状态是用于生成执行计划,如果较长时间出现这个状态,那么服务器的IO就比较重。我们在线上对数据库服务器进行压测,发现出现了大量的statistics的等待并非是IO重引起的,并对这个等待进行了分析。

【问题分析】

测试表的表结构如下:数据库版本是5.7.37

CREATE TABLE `t` (
  Col1 bigint NOT NULL,
  Col2 bigint NOT NULL,
  Col3 varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  Col4 varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  Col5 smallint NOT NULL,
  Col6 smallint NOT NULL,
  Col7 int,
  Col8 int,
  Col9 smallint NOT NULL,
  Col10 smallint NOT NULL,
  Col11 smallint NOT NULL,
  Col12 varchar(150) ,
  Col13 datetime,
  Col14 datetime,
  Col15 datetime,
  Col16 datetime,
  Col17 datetime,
  Col18 datetime, NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (col1),
  KEY ix_1 (col18),
  KEY ix_2 (col2),
  KEY ix_3 (col3, col13),
  KEY ix_4 (col3, col14),
  KEY ix_5 (col3, col13, col8),
  KEY ix_6 (col3, col13, col8, col11),
  KEY ix_7 (col3, col8,  col11, col9 ,col10, col5, col7, col13),
  KEY ix_8 (col3, col8, col9, col10, col5, col7, col13),
  KEY ix_9 (col6, col13),
  KEY idx_10 (col12)
) 

我们用查询语句进行压测,当服务器QPS压到1万左右,数据库服务器的CPU使用率在85%左右,并且thread明显开始堆积。开始出现大量的statistics等待,如下图所示:

压测的语句性能没有问题,就是有比较多的AND和OR,我们把语句单独运行,都能走到合适的索引,速度都是非常快的。
我们抓取了pstack, 当时的call stack主要有两种:
下面的call stack应该是在等待creating sort index, 这部分也可以进一步提优,但占比并非第一,所以不是我们分析的重点:

这个线程在生成执行计划(make_join_plan), 所以也就是我们对应的statistics等待. 对于函数check_quick_select, 在相应的代码sql/opt_range.cc文件中,有如下注解:

 3. SEL_ARG GRAPH USE
  Use get_mm_tree() to construct SEL_ARG graph from WHERE condition.
  Then walk the SEL_ARG graph and get a list of dijsoint ordered key
  intervals (i.e. intervals in form
  
   (constA1, .., const1_K) < (keypart1,.., keypartK) < (constB1, .., constB_K)

  Those intervals can be used to access the index. The uses are in:
   - check_quick_select() - Walk the SEL_ARG graph and find an estimate of
                            how many table records are contained within all
                            intervals.
   - get_quick_select()   - Walk the SEL_ARG, materialize the key intervals,
                            and create QUICK_RANGE_SELECT object that will
                            read records within these intervals.

从描述中,我们可以看到,test_quick_select应该是在评估行数,SEL_ARG图在参考资料中有介绍,MySQL用于组织复杂条件并计算各个Ranges所影响到的对应可以使用的索引的代价和使用索引的不同快速方式,从而选出最优的计划。

理解这些概念可能过于复杂,但是从描述中,我们找到了问题的突破点,就是索引评估。我们看到这张表建有10个索引,而且明显的有些索引是被覆盖,可以直接删除。所以根据索引的使用情况,我们直接删除如下三个索引:

 KEY ix_3 (col3, col13),   				# 被ix_6覆盖
 KEY ix_5 (col3, col13, col8),			# 被ix_6覆盖
 KEY ix_8 (col3, col8, col9, col10, col5, col7, col13), #基本上被ix_7覆盖,且无使用记录

删除如上三个索引后,我们进一步压测,发现QPS可以打到2万, CPU消耗在75%左右。 所以仅仅删除三个索引,就能提升性能将近一倍左右。

我们用火焰图做验证:下图是删索引前和删除索引后的MySQL消耗火焰图,可以很直观的发现optimize的消耗从81%减少到了65%,因为SQL实际执行的逻辑及使用的索引并没有产生变化,消耗与删除索引前后一致,所以可以得出对于生成查询计划的本身的性能可以提升2倍多。

【结论】

MySQL优化器没有执行计划缓存功能,因此会有部分的计算资源消耗在频繁的生成查询计划上。
当我们看到在等待statistics这个状态,确实是在等待执行计划的生成,但并不一定是IO出现了瓶颈。有时候删除重复索引,可以极大的减少执行计划生成开销,性能甚至可以达到1倍以上,(具体提升幅度根据查询语句的复杂度不同而不同)
每张表不建议创建过多的索引。这个例子主要是因为开发通过ChatGPT提供的索引建议而添加,优化了局部的个别语句性能,但总体吞吐反而下降。
