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
