Shard-Query inserts data into a “coordinator” table when answering queries.   When there is a GROUP BY on the original query, the coordinator table contains a UNIQUE KEY over the GROUP BY attributes.   Shard-Query uses INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE in combination with bulk insert (insert into … values (),(),() ) when inserting into the table.

For what would normally be efficiency sake, Shard-Query sends queries to the shards using ORDER BY NULL which disables the filesort operation. Of course, this often results in the rows being sent back from the shards in random order.

Because the results are in random order, the bulk insertion that the worker does into the coordinator table can deadlock with other worker threads when using InnoDB or TokuDB as the coordinator table. Right now I’ve just been using MyISAM for the coordinator table, which serializes queries at the bulk insert stage.  Having to insert the …

Here is a fix for the MySQL/TokuDB/MariaDB bug I reported earlier today.  I think this fix is correct (it is only one line) but I don’t delve into the storage engine very often (and particularly not into ha_partition.cc) so I think it would be good to wait for Oracle (or Percona, MariaDB, or Tokutek) to validate that it is correct before using it.

Scaling up a workload to many cores on a single host

Here are results for Shard-Query 2.0 Beta 1* on the Star Schema Benchmark at scale factor 10.  In the comparison below the “single threaded” response times for InnoDB are the response times reported in my previous test which did not use Shard-Query.

Shard-Query configuration

Shard-Query has been configured to use a single host.  The Shard-Query configuration repository is stored on the host.  Gearman is also running on the host, as are the Gearman workers.  In short, only one host is involved in the testing.

The …

It is finally here.  After three years of development, the new version of Shard-Query is finally available for broad testing.

This new version of Shard-Query is vastly improved over previous versions in many ways.  This is in large part due to the fact that the previous version of Shard-Query (version 1.1) entered into production at a large company.  Their feedback during implementation was invaluable in building the new Shard-Query features.   The great thing is that this means that many of the new 2.0 features have already been tested in at least one production environment.

This post is intended to highlight the new features in Shard-Query 2.0.  I will be making posts about individual features as well as posting benchmark results.
