In this blog post, we’ll look at how using thread_statistics can cause high memory usage.

I was recently working on a high memory usage issue for one of our clients, and made some interesting discoveries: high memory usage with no bounds. It was really tricky to diagnose.

Below, I am going to show you how to identify that having thread_statistics enabled causes high memory usage on busy systems with many threads.

Part 1: Issue Background

I had a server with 55.0G of available memory. Percona Server for MySQL version:

Version | 5.6.35-80.0-log Percona Server (GPL), Release 80.0, Revision f113994f31
                 Built On | debian-linux-gnu x86_64

How can you tell if a given workload on the master could be replicated with many parallel workers on the slave?

The slave_parallel_type=LOGICAL_CLOCK is an implementation of a Lamport clock. The implementation is described in WL #7165 – including a neat little ASCII-art graphic.

Each event in the binary log is stamped with two values:
– The sequence_number increments for each commit
– The last_committed is the sequence_number which was in effect when this transaction entered the prepare phase.

A slave worker cannot begin doing a transaction until the last_committed value is smaller than the sequence_number of all other running threads.

Fedora 26 is scheduled to arrive today, July 11, and we congratulate the highly productive Fedora community on another rev of many people’s favorite distro.

With this Monyog release, we will provide monitoring capabilities for RDS/Aurora OS metrics along with an emphasis on the User Experience in several respects including a number of GUI design details. Additionally, the release adds a number of bug fixes and implements a number of user requests.

Changes as compared to Monyog MySQL Monitor 8.0.4 include:

Features:

• It is now possible to get OS metrics from Amazon RDS/Aurora (but not Azure, where interface for same is disabled).
• Added an option to generate a token in Monyog to be used with the MONyog API as an alternative to Monyog user and password.
• Added an option to define a “seconds_behind_master” setting in Replication page determining if the slave should be considered in sync or not. On some environments, slave will rarely be fully in sync and in such cases, the alerting was not really useful before. …

One of the benefits of using JPA and Hibernate is that it provides an abstraction of database-specific dialects and features. So, in theory, you can implement an application, connect it to one of the supported databases and it will run without any code changes.

Hibernate does that really well. But let’s be honest, you didn’t expect that your application will run perfectly with every supported database, did you?

Hibernate handles the most important things. But if you want your application to perform well, you still need to know which database(s) you want to use and adjust your configuration and code accordingly.

In one of the previous posts, I talked about 6 things you need to know if you want to use Hibernate with a PostgreSQL database. And today I want to have a closer look at the MySQL database.

UTF8 VS UTF8MB4 – What’s the difference?

You’re getting a support call from an IT administrator in a tech company saying some of his critical data can’t be saved in the product you deployed at his servers a week ago. His users are seeing a general error from the application. About 30 of his 500 users are experiencing this issue and can’t save data in the application.

After a short 15 minutes debug session, you can see that the data is transmitted from the client side, received in the backend server and the insertion query is fired to the database. But still, no data in the database.

Hmm.. now it got interesting. You roll up your sleeves, put up a smile on your face, some sunglasses on your eyes and you start investigating (well, maybe just start investigating without all the fancy accessories).

Looking at the logs, it turns out that for specific inputs, MySQL refused to add the data to the database. The …
