Mysql – Where is the INNODB Performance Leak

innodbMySQLperformance

I have a weird problem which I cannot seem to fix. I'm more an web programmer than a Server/DB Admin, so I hope someone here can help me.

The Situation

I am working on a system which handles a lot of update, insert and delete requests. Because of that, I chose INNODB as my storage engine for its row lock capability. We are updating 60,000 Records every 10 Minutes, using Gearman to parallelize our work on different servers. The code is in PHP and we are using Zend Framework.

The Problem

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

We get the above error nearly every 30 minutes, from one of our Gearman workers.

The Code

$this->db->beginTransaction();

        try {
            for($i = 0; $i < count($products); $i++)
            {
                $this->db->query("UPDATE userproducts SET lowest_price= :p1, last_lowest_price_update='".date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time())."' WHERE product_id = :p2", array(
'p1' => $products[$i]['price_total_end'][1],
'p2' => $products[$i]['asin']));
            }
            $this->db->commit();
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            $this->db->rollBack();
            echo $e->getMessage();
        }
        $this->db->closeConnection();

That's the Code to update one table. We have similiar looking code to update another table. With the above given code, we commit 50 requests every time this method got called, which will be every 30 seconds by nearly 20 workers.

The Questions

What in this report looks strange? To me, it doesn't look like we are running out of memory.

What I don't understand is the InnoDB Data, Pages, Rows > Rows > Read. Why are there 480,000 Reads per second? What does that mean? And it looks to me that there are only 42 updates per second, which isn't really that fast.

How about the open tables or files. Is this an usual value? I didnt have experiences in that topic.

Something is not working as expected, and I'm hoping someone here can help me find it.

OBSERVATION #1

Just looking at the output of your SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G I see a variety of table lock message at the bottom of each transaction. You have one transaction that is holding lock 38096 rows

OBSERVATION #2

Looking back at the table structure, I see the userproducts table has no index on product_id. Because of this, you are doing full table scans to perform the update of a single row.

OBSERVATION #3

You also have a duplicate index in the userproducts table. Two indexes start with the userinfos_id column. No need to bloat indexes with duplicate leading columns.

OBSERVATION #4

You have innodb_thread_concurrency = 8. It should be set to zero for infinite concurrency

See my past posts on this

RECOMMENDATION #1

Add this to /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
innodb_thread_concurrency = 0

and restart MySQL

RECOMMENDATION #2

Please run this during your off period

ALTER TABLE userproducts ADD INDEX product_id (product_id),DROP INDEX userinfos_id;

RECOMMENDATION #3 (Optional Long Term Goal)

You need to restructure your InnoDB Layout because you have innodb_file_per_table on. That nullifies the need for multiple ibdata files. You only need one. Please see my past posts on this:

Give it a Try !!!
