To better serve MySQL users, we have optimized MySQL 8.0.39 comprehensively. The specific optimizations include improvements to InnoDB storage engine scalability, redo log optimization, resolution of performance degradation issues in certain scenarios related to query execution plans, binlog group commit optimization, memory usage optimization, high availability enhancements, and secondary replay architecture optimization. These improvements are based on data structures, algorithms, and logical reasoning, aiming for simplicity and efficiency while streamlining the MySQL optimization process.
Extensive testing has shown that these optimizations are especially effective on high-performance hardware. The optimized MySQL 8.0 delivers more stable and efficient service to users.
- InnoDB Storage Engine Enhancements: Improved scalability and redo log performance in specific scenarios.
- Performance Optimization for Binlog Group Commits.
- Resolution of Performance Degradation Issues in Query Execution Plans.
- Replica Replay Optimization: Accelerated replay speed on replicas to ensure consistent reads.
- Addressing Performance Issues Due to Poor MySQL NUMA Compatibility.
- Mature High Availability Product: Improved Paxos protocol and protocol interactions, along with better design and enhanced cluster write performance.
These improvements are designed to enhance MySQL’s performance in high-throughput environments, achieve consistent reads, and address various failure issues, ensuring high availability and performance in high-concurrency scenarios, making it particularly suitable for internet companies.
Users interested in conducting comparative tests are encouraged to do so on high-spec machines, utilizing BenchmarkSQL for testing.
- The better the hardware environment, the greater the performance gap with the official version as concurrency increases.
- Use testing tools that closely resemble the online environment, such as BenchmarkSQL, to effectively showcase performance advantages. If possible, utilize TCPCopy to replicate online traffic for testing.
- During testing, the concurrency limit should not exceed 1000, as the current throttling mechanism has not been open-sourced.
- It is recommended to align MySQL configuration parameters with our settings, making adjustments based on the specific hardware.
- For high availability, we adopted the single-primary mode of Group Replication but removed the conflict detection part, making it a fully state machine-based approach.
- Due to differences in the underlying data format of Paxos communication, it is incompatible with the official version during runtime, but compatible when offline. A restart of all nodes is required to complete the transition.
- When compiling, it's best to use PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) to significantly enhance MySQL's performance. You can refer to the performance improvements in release versions 8.0.40 and above.
- For the improved Group Replication, we also have a highly mature middleware to provide support. For more details, refer to the project at Cetus.
