SkySQL just blogged about a tool to schedule long running MySQL jobs, prevent too many queries from running simultaneously, and stores the results in tables.  It even uses Gearman.  You will note that the article says that it uses PAQU, which uses Shard-Query.

I think PAQU was created for two reasons.  A) Shard-Query lacked support for fast aggregation of STDDEV and VARIANCE (this has been fixed), and B) their data set requires “cross-shard queries”.  From what I can see though, their type of cross-shard queries can be solved using subqueries in the FROM clause using Shard-Query, instead of using a customized (forked) version of Shard-Query.  It is unfortunate, because my recent improvements to Shard-Query have to be ported into PAQU by the PAQU authors.

I’d like to encourage you to look at Shard-Query if you need to run complex jobs in the background and get the results later.  As a bonus, you …

I checked in some improvements to Shard-Query.

Now STD, STD_SAMP, VAR and VAR_SAMP can be orders of magnitude faster for large data sets. This is because they are now distributed like COUNT, AVG and other fully distributable MySQL aggregate functions.   Prior to this change, my test query would create a 22GB (530M row) temporary table.  It now creates a one row temporary table.  This reduces network traffic, temporary storage space and increases performance.

Shard-Query better reports initialization errors. This mostly means that if you don’t have gearmand running you will no longer get a cryptic PHP output, but a nice error message.

You can change the storage engine for the repo by changing only one line in shard_query.sql. This lets you more easily install on Infobright, which needs MyISAM tables, not InnoDB tables in the repo.
