What the Flush?

Yves Trudeau and Francisco Bordenave, MySQL experts at Percona, recently published a three-part post: (1) Give Love to Your SSDs – Reduce innodb_io_capacity_max!; (2) InnoDB Flushing in Action for Percona Server for MySQL; (3) Tuning MySQL/InnoDB Flushing for a Write-Intensive Workload. It’s a fantastic read from start to finish, and it made me realize: dirty pages sound bad, but they are good. I suspect the opposite (“dirty pages are not good”) is a misconception due to an incomplete picture. Let’s complete the picture.
