WARP storage engine updated for MySQL 8.0.21

MySQL 8.0.21 is out, and the WARP storage engine has been updated to support the changes made in the new version.

There are no significant functionality changes to the storage engine for MySQL 8.0.21, only the minor changes required to compile in the new version.  

I will be posting benchmarks of WARP vs InnoDB and Column Store using the Star Schema Benchmark, DBT3, and some other comparison tests.

I will also be releasing a Docker image to make testing WARP easy.  As always, binaries are available upon request.  Keep in mind that WARP is a pluggable storage engine, and you can request just the plugin, or the whole MySQL 8 release,  for version 8.0.19, 8.0.20, or 8.0.21.

The WARP storage engine beta: columnar storage for MySQL 8 with automatic bitmap indexing

Oracle MySQL is in need of a columnar storage engine for analytics workloads.  A columnar engine (or column store) stores data vertically, that is, it stores all the data associated with a column together, instead of the traditional RDBMS storage method of storing entire rows together, either in a index organized manner, like InnoDB, or in a heap, like MyISAM.  

Columnar storage has the benefit of reducing IO when only a subset of the row is accessed in a query, because only the data for the accessed rows must be read from disk (or cache) instead of having to read entire rows.  Most columnar stores do not support indexes, but WARP does.

WARP is open source

You can find the WARP source code release on GitHub.  Binaries can be provided upon request.  Simply open an issue for your desired Linux distribution, and I will make them available as soon as I can.

MySQL webinar: ‘Introduction to open source column stores’

Join me Wednesday, September 18 at 10 a.m. PDT for an hour-long webinar where I will introduce the basic concepts behind column store technology. The webinar’s title is: “Introduction to open source column stores.”

What will be discussed?

This webinar will talk about Infobright, LucidDB, MonetDB, Hadoop (Impala) and other column stores

  • I will compare features between major column stores (both open and closed source).
  • Some benchmarks will be used to demonstrate the basic performance characteristics of the open source column stores.
  • There will be a question and answer session to ask me anything you like about column stores (you can also ask in the …

OpenSQLCamp Videos online!

OpenSQLCamp was a huge success! I took videos of most of the sessions (we only had 3 video cameras, and 4 rooms, and 2 sessions were not recorded). Unfortunately, I was busy doing administrative stuff for opensqlcamp for the opening keynote and first 15 minutes of the session organizing, and when I got to the planning board, it was already full….so I was not able to give a session.

OpenSQLCamp Lightning Talk Videos

OpenSQLCamp was a huge success! Not many folks have blogged about what they learned there….if you missed it, all is not lost. We did take videos of most of the sessions (we only had 3 video cameras, and 4 rooms, and 2 sessions were not recorded).

All the videos have been processed, and I am working on uploading them to YouTube and filling in details for the video descriptions. Not all the videos are up right now….right now all the lightning talks are up.
