HomeDatabaseMysql Tutorial关于删除MySQL Logs的问题记录_MySQL

五一前,一个DBA同事反馈,在日常环境中删除一个大的slow log文件(假设文件大小10G以上吧),然后在MySQL中执行flush slow logs,会发现mysqld hang住。

今天尝试着重现了此问题,这里简要分析下原因。

重现步骤:

1. 构造slow log (将long_query_time设成了0);

2. 观察删rm slow log瞬间,tps/qps变化;

3. 观察执行flush slow logs瞬间,tps/qps变化;

4. 记录flush slow logs执行时, pstack打出的调用栈情况;

第一步,没啥好说的。

第二步,tps/qps没啥变化。

第三步,会发现tps/qps瞬间跌0,如下所示:

mysql命令行会发现,flush slow logs执行时间刚好为3s左右。

第四步,我们看下pstack的输出结果,只记录相关的:

会发现Thread 2在执行flush slow logs操作,其他的线程都在等待锁LOCK_log上边。

背后的原因其实很简单,在shell中执行rm slow log操作时,由于mysqld仍有文件句柄打开此文件,所以实际上此时文件并未删除。执行flush logs操作,其实际执行的是1)close;2)open 操作(logger.flush_slow_log -> mysql_slow_log.reopen_file),在close操作执行时,文件系统真正删除文件,此时该线程占用着LOCK_log锁。

删除时会执行刷脏(当然我构造这个场景很极端,基本所有slow log文件的内容都在文件系统缓存中),这个会很耗时间,比如我执行这个语句耗了3s。此时间段内,如果连接发来的语句需要记log(server层的log:slow log/binlog/general log共有LOCK_log这把锁)就会处于等待状态,那么系统对外的反应就是hang住了。

flush slow logs中调用执行的close所需时间和文件大小、以及文件系统缓存中该文件脏页比例都有关系,比如我在执行flush slow logs前使用sysctl vm.drop_caches=3清空

了文件系统缓存的话,同样大小的flush slow logs操作执行时间是0.42s,相应的阻塞时间也会减少不少。

可以考虑在slow logs的文件句柄上执行posix_fadvise调用,促使不会缓存很大的log文件内容(slow log也没啥需要缓存的),这有篇霸爷的文章,可以参考下 posix_fadvise清除缓存的误解和改进措施 。

另外,peter在07年就讨论过这个问题, Be careful rotating MySQL logs 其给出的建议是先mv file,然后flush logs,再执行删除文件的操作,让真正的删除行为由自己而不是mysqld完成。比较遗憾的是,七年过去了,LOCK_log这把锁的问题还没有完整的解决掉。

PS:

文章结尾记一点备忘,通过close/rm操作删除一个10G大小的文件,在执行sysctl vm.drop_caches=3清空缓存后,此操作的耗时仍在百毫秒量级(我的机器上是200ms+),其背后做了什么事情还需要找内核组的同事了解下。

How does MySQL handle data replication?How does MySQL handle data replication?Apr 28, 2025 am 12:25 AM

MySQL processes data replication through three modes: asynchronous, semi-synchronous and group replication. 1) Asynchronous replication performance is high but data may be lost. 2) Semi-synchronous replication improves data security but increases latency. 3) Group replication supports multi-master replication and failover, suitable for high availability requirements.

How can you use the EXPLAIN statement to analyze query performance?How can you use the EXPLAIN statement to analyze query performance?Apr 28, 2025 am 12:24 AM

The EXPLAIN statement can be used to analyze and improve SQL query performance. 1. Execute the EXPLAIN statement to view the query plan. 2. Analyze the output results, pay attention to access type, index usage and JOIN order. 3. Create or adjust indexes based on the analysis results, optimize JOIN operations, and avoid full table scanning to improve query efficiency.

How do you back up and restore a MySQL database?How do you back up and restore a MySQL database?Apr 28, 2025 am 12:23 AM

Using mysqldump for logical backup and MySQLEnterpriseBackup for hot backup are effective ways to back up MySQL databases. 1. Use mysqldump to back up the database: mysqldump-uroot-pmydatabase>mydatabase_backup.sql. 2. Use MySQLEnterpriseBackup for hot backup: mysqlbackup--user=root-password=password--backup-dir=/path/to/backupbackup. When recovering, use the corresponding life

What are some common causes of slow queries in MySQL?What are some common causes of slow queries in MySQL?Apr 28, 2025 am 12:18 AM

The main reasons for slow MySQL query include missing or improper use of indexes, query complexity, excessive data volume and insufficient hardware resources. Optimization suggestions include: 1. Create appropriate indexes; 2. Optimize query statements; 3. Use table partitioning technology; 4. Appropriately upgrade hardware.

What are views in MySQL?What are views in MySQL?Apr 28, 2025 am 12:04 AM

MySQL view is a virtual table based on SQL query results and does not store data. 1) Views simplify complex queries, 2) Enhance data security, and 3) Maintain data consistency. Views are stored queries in databases that can be used like tables, but data is generated dynamically.

What is MySQL partitioning?What is MySQL partitioning?Apr 27, 2025 am 12:23 AM

MySQL partitioning improves performance and simplifies maintenance. 1) Divide large tables into small pieces by specific criteria (such as date ranges), 2) physically divide data into independent files, 3) MySQL can focus on related partitions when querying, 4) Query optimizer can skip unrelated partitions, 5) Choosing the right partition strategy and maintaining it regularly is key.

How do you grant and revoke privileges in MySQL?How do you grant and revoke privileges in MySQL?Apr 27, 2025 am 12:21 AM

How to grant and revoke permissions in MySQL? 1. Use the GRANT statement to grant permissions, such as GRANTALLPRIVILEGESONdatabase_name.TO'username'@'host'; 2. Use the REVOKE statement to revoke permissions, such as REVOKEALLPRIVILEGESONdatabase_name.FROM'username'@'host' to ensure timely communication of permission changes.
