For compatibility with diagnostic software, let us
return a dummy buffer pool identifier 0 and restore
the columns that were initially deleted in
commit 1a6f708ec5:
information_schema.innodb_buffer_page.pool_id
information_schema.innodb_buffer_page_lru.pool_id
information_schema.innodb_buffer_pool_stats.pool_id
information_schema.innodb_cmpmem.buffer_pool_instance
information_schema.innodb_cmpmem_reset.buffer_pool_instance
Thanks to Vladislav Vaintroub for pointing this out.
Our benchmarking efforts indicate that the reasons for splitting the
buf_pool in commit c18084f71b
have mostly gone away, possibly as a result of
mysql/mysql-server@ce6109ebfd
or similar work.
Only in one write-heavy benchmark where the working set size is
ten times the buffer pool size, the buf_pool->mutex would be
less contended with 4 buffer pool instances than with 1 instance,
in buf_page_io_complete(). That contention could be alleviated
further by making more use of std::atomic and by splitting
buf_pool_t::mutex further (MDEV-15053).
We will deprecate and ignore the following parameters:
innodb_buffer_pool_instances
innodb_page_cleaners
There will be only one buffer pool and one page cleaner task.
In a number of INFORMATION_SCHEMA views, columns that indicated
the buffer pool instance will be removed:
information_schema.innodb_buffer_page.pool_id
information_schema.innodb_buffer_page_lru.pool_id
information_schema.innodb_buffer_pool_stats.pool_id
information_schema.innodb_cmpmem.buffer_pool_instance
information_schema.innodb_cmpmem_reset.buffer_pool_instance
Shorten some VARCHAR attributes to a more reasonable length.
INNODB_METRICS: Rename the column STATUS to ENABLED, and make it Boolean.
Replace with INT(1) many Boolean attributes that were declared as VARCHAR
containing 'NO','YES','disabled','enabled','Uninitialized','Initialized'.
Replace some VARCHAR attributes with ENUM.
Replace some BIGINT with INT when 32 bits are sufficient.
Remove INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES.SPACE_TYPE. The type of a tablespace
can be derived from the tablespace ID. A fixed number is used for
the system tablespace and the temporary tablespace. All other tablespaces
are single-table or single-partition tablespaces.
i_s_locks_row_t::lock_type, lock_get_type_str(): Remove.
This is a redundant field. Table and record locks can be
distinguished by whether i_s_locks_row_t::lock_index is NULL.
fill_trx_row(): Do not unnecessarily copy the constant strings that
trx->op_info is pointing to.
i_s_locks_row_t::lock_mode: Replace string with integer.
lock_get_mode_str(), lock_get_trx_id(), lock_get_trx(): Remove.
field_store_ulint(): Remove.
