Improve the performance of slave connect using B+-Tree indexes on each binlog file. The index allows fast lookup of a GTID position to the corresponding offset in the binlog file, as well as lookup of a position to find the corresponding GTID position. This eliminates a costly sequential scan of the starting binlog file to find the GTID starting position when a slave connects. This is especially costly if the binlog file is not cached in memory (IO cost), or if it is encrypted or a lot of slaves connect simultaneously (CPU cost). The size of the index files is generally less than 1% of the binlog data, so not expected to be an issue. Most of the work writing the index is done as a background task, in the binlog background thread. This minimises the performance impact on transaction commit. A simple global mutex is used to protect index reads and (background) index writes; this is fine as slave connect is a relatively infrequent operation. Here are the user-visible options and status variables. The feature is on by default and is expected to need no tuning or configuration for most users. binlog_gtid_index On by default. Can be used to disable the indexes for testing purposes. binlog_gtid_index_page_size (default 4096) Page size to use for the binlog GTID index. This is the size of the nodes in the B+-tree used internally in the index. A very small page-size (64 is the minimum) will be less efficient, but can be used to stress the BTree-code during testing. binlog_gtid_index_span_min (default 65536) Control sparseness of the binlog GTID index. If set to N, at most one index record will be added for every N bytes of binlog file written. This can be used to reduce the number of records in the index, at the cost only of having to scan a few more events in the binlog file before finding the target position Two status variables are available to monitor the use of the GTID indexes: Binlog_gtid_index_hit Binlog_gtid_index_miss The "hit" status increments for each successful lookup in a GTID index. The "miss" increments when a lookup is not possible. This indicates that the index file is missing (eg. binlog written by old server version without GTID index support), or corrupt.
