MySQL统计信息查询慢问题分析

起因

在MySQL服务器运行mysqld_exporter后，发现数据库的中活跃连接数暴增，而且都是来自于mysqld_exporter的慢查询，语句如下：

SELECT
            TABLE_SCHEMA,
            TABLE_NAME,
            TABLE_TYPE,
            ifnull(ENGINE, 'NONE') as ENGINE,
            ifnull(VERSION, '0') as VERSION,
            ifnull(ROW_FORMAT, 'NONE') as ROW_FORMAT,
            ifnull(TABLE_ROWS, '0') as TABLE_ROWS,
            ifnull(DATA_LENGTH, '0') as DATA_LENGTH,
            ifnull(INDEX_LENGTH, '0') as INDEX_LENGTH,
            ifnull(DATA_FREE, '0') as DATA_FREE,
            ifnull(CREATE_OPTIONS, 'NONE') as CREATE_OPTIONS
          FROM information_schema.tables
          WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'xxx';

分析

1.在该数据库执行该语句，执行时间非常慢

102 rows in set (6.35 sec)

2.在该数据库的从库执行，结果却完全不一样

102 rows in set (0.01 sec)

3.这个时候就可以确定应该跟MySQL统计信息有关。

查看MySQL统计信息相关介绍：https://blog.csdn.net/n88Lpo/article/details/79144495

4.查看主从数据库的参数，发现差异

##主库
mysql> show variables like 'innodb_stats_on_metadata';
+--------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name            | Value |
+--------------------------+-------+
| innodb_stats_on_metadata | ON    |
+--------------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

##从库
mysql> show variables like 'innodb_stats_on_metadata';
+--------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name            | Value |
+--------------------------+-------+
| innodb_stats_on_metadata | OFF   |
+--------------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

5.确定原因为每次查询时都会对统计信息进行更新。

查看MySQL官方文档 https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-statistics-estimation.html

解决

修改参数innodb_stats_on_metadata

mysql> set global innodb_stats_on_metadata=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
