[MySQL][Spider]Spider storage engine 2.1 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Spider storage engine version 2.1(beta).
http://spiderformysql.com/

The main changes in this version are following.
- Add UDFs "spider_direct_sql" and "spider_bg_direct_sql".
  These UDFs execute hand writing SQLs on remote server by using Spider's table link and store result sets in temporary tables.
  Main usages are following.
  1.Maintenance remote servers.
    (Create table on remote servers for Spider's link tables, etc.)
  2.Use every resources (excluding table) on remote servers.
  3.Mass update of the bulk data. (Update all rows in tables, etc.
    There are next advantages. It is possible to update it in parallel
    with multiple remote servers. The amount of the data transfer of
    a local server and remote servers can be reduced)
  4.Aggregate by 2-steps. (For DWH etc)
    First step: Aggregate on remote servers and collect result
                    to local server.
    Second step: Aggregate on local server.
    (There are next advantages. It is possible to aggregate it in
    parallel with multiple remote servers. The amount of the data
    transfer of a local server and remote servers can be reduced)

Example of 2-steps aggregating
(Count the number of rows in 7 shards tables from local server)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare for aggregating:
mysql> create table target_hosts (host char(17))engine=myisam;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

[MySQL][Spider]Spider storage engine 2.0 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Spider storage engine version 2.0(beta).
http://spiderformysql.com/
From this time, version 1.x is stable releases, version 2.x is development releases for new features.

The main changes in this version are following.
- Add table parameter "semi_table_lock_connection".
- Add server parameter "spider_semi_table_lock_connection".
  Spider has "spider_semi_trx", "spider_semi_trx_isolation", (for transactional tables like InnoDB) "spider_semi_table_lock" and "semi_table_lock" (for non transactional tables like MyISAM) options for consistent reading at remote servers during executing 1 SQL at local server. But you must use different connections for transactional tables and non transactional tables because "semi_table_lock" causes implicit transaction commit.
  "semi_table_lock_connection" and "spider_semi_table_lock_connection" can use different connection for transactional tables and non transactional tables by checking that "semi_table_lock" is enabled.

- Add table parameter "use_table_charset".
- Add server parameter "spider_use_table_charset" and "spider_local_lock_table".
  "use_table_charset" and "spider_use_table_charset" are used for choosing the communication charset (UTF8 or table charset) at connections from Spider to remote server. Basically, you don't need changing this option but you can change this option for performance improvement if the SQL has very longer table and column name string than column data string.
  "spider_local_lock_table" is used for suppressing sending "lock table" statement to remote server for locking table at local server only. This option is used with non-blocking resharding.

[MySQL][Spider]Spider storage engine 0.13 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Spider storage engine version 0.13.(beta)
http://spiderformysql.com/

The main changes in this version are following.
- Add table parameter "crd_bg_mode" and "sts_bg_mode".
- Add server parameter "spider_crd_bg_mode" and "spider_sts_bg_mode".
  MySQL needs table's analysis informations when select statement is executed. Spider storage engine gets this informations from remote table but this action often generates over-heads.
  This options remove generated over-heads by getting analysis informations at background but you must set this option to 0 if the table's analysis informations change frequently.
  * There are other options for the over-heads reduction of the analysis informations acquisition. I will introduce this at another time.

Please see "99_change_logs.txt" in the download documents for checking other changes.

[MySQL][Other]Condition Pushdown for ha_partition 0.1 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Condition Pushdown for ha_partition version 0.1.
http://launchpad.net/partitionconditionpushdownformysql

This release is a patch file for MySQL's table partitioning feature. (ndb is excluded)
This patch file works to add methods("cond_push" and "cond_pop") to ha_partition. As a result, every storage engine's table that use table partitioning can get condition-pushdown through ha_partition.

There was no problem because only ndb supported engine-condition-pushdown up to now.
This patch was needed because the Spider storage engine supported engine-condition-pushdown recently.

Enjoy!

[MySQL][VP]Vertical Partitioning storage engine 0.2 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Vertical Partitioning storage engine version 0.2.
http://launchpad.net/vpformysql


The main changes in this version are following.


- Support MySQL's table partitioning.
  MySQL's table partitioning that is only introduced last release is now supported.
  note: After this version, you need to apply a patch for installing Vertical Partitioning storage engine.

- After this version, the primary key part of InnoDB's secondary index is effectively used.
  You can use the primary key columns with InnoDB's secondary index by using following statements.
    create table tbl_b(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a),
      key idx1(col_c)
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_c(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a),
      key idx1(col_c)
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_a(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a),
      key idx1(col_c, col_a)
    )engine=VP comment='table_name_list "tbl_b tbl_c"';
  note: Vertical Partitioning storage engine can use index with primary key together with index without primary key, because Vertical Partitioning storage engine can use different storage engines for child tables at same table. In this case, the purpose of writing the column of primary key to tbl_a's idx1 is to absorb the difference by this coexistence.

[MySQL][VP]Vertical Partitioning storage engine 0.1 released

I'm pleased to announce a release of a new storage engine "Vertical Partitioning storage engine".
http://launchpad.net/vpformysql
You can use relation tables of one to one like one table by using Vertical Partitioning storage engine.
It is near by a view of joined relation tables of one to one but different point is following.
- It can insert.
- It can do partition pruning.(Not use partitions that are no necessity)


Vertical Partitioning storage engine can use following purposes.
(Vertical Partitioning table is called "parent table", integrated tables are called "child table")


1.A MySQL's InnoDB table that has the big record size is very slow if a select statement needs table scanning with a lot of records.
  Vertical Partitioning is good for resolving this performance problem.

  For example, you can solve a performance issue for "select col_d from tbl_a" by using following partitions.
  Before partitioning
    create table tbl_a(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_b int,
      col_c int,
      col_d int,
      col_e varchar(255),
      col_f varchar(255),
      col_g varchar(255),
      col_h varchar(255),
      col_i varchar(255),
      col_j text,
      key idx_a(col_b, col_c),
      key idx_b(col_c, col_j(100))
    )engine=InnoDB;

  After partitioning
    create table tbl_b(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_b int,
      col_c int,
      col_d int,
      key idx_a(col_b, col_c)
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_c(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_c int,
      col_e varchar(255),
      col_f varchar(255),
      col_g varchar(255),
      col_h varchar(255),
      col_i varchar(255),
      col_j text,
      key idx_b(col_c, col_j(100))
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_a(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_b int,
      col_c int,
      col_d int,
      col_e varchar(255),
      col_f varchar(255),
      col_g varchar(255),
      col_h varchar(255),
      col_i varchar(255),
      col_j text,
      key idx_a(col_b, col_c),
      key idx_b(col_c, col_j(100))
    )engine=VP
    comment 'table_name_list "tbl_b tbl_c"';
  Note: Vertical Partitioning storage engine can use same column in different child tables. You can use flexible partition design by this feature but you should note that a lot of same columns causes updating performance issues.


2.MySQL Cluster (ndb) is not good for using text columns.
  Vertical Partitioning can use different storage engines for one table.
  As a result, MySQL Cluster can use only for strong point columns.
  Example of mixed storage engines.
    create table tbl_b(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_b int,
      col_c int,
      key idx_a(col_b, col_c)
    )engine=ndb ......;
    create table tbl_c(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_c int,
      col_d varchar(255),
      col_e text,
      key idx_b(col_c, col_e(100))
    )engine=Spider ......;
    create table tbl_a(
      col_a int primary key,
      col_b int,
      col_c int,
      col_d varchar(255),
      col_e text,
      key idx_a(col_b, col_c),
      key idx_b(col_c, col_e(100))
    )engine=VP
    comment 'table_name_list "tbl_b tbl_c"';


3.MySQL does not support multi shaped partitioning.
  Vertical Partitioning storage engine supports multi shaped partitioning.
  Multi shaped partitioning is dividing a table by multiple partitioning rules.
  You can use tables that dividing into detail information table and index tables like one table by this feature. And you can shard each table by using Spider storage engine.

  Before partitioning
    create table employees (
      id int primary key,
      fname varchar(30),
      lname varchar(30),
      hired date not null default '1970-01-01',
      separated date not null default '9999-12-31',
      job_code int,
      store_id int
    )engine=InnoDB;

  After partitioning
    create table emp_pk (
      id int not null,
      separated date not null default '9999-12-31',
      unique idx_a(id),
      key idx_b(id, separated)
    )engine=InnoDB
    partition by hash(id)
    partitions 4;
    create table emp_detail (
      id int not null,
      fname varchar(30),
      lname varchar(30),
      hired date not null default '1970-01-01',
      separated date not null default '9999-12-31',
      job_code int,
      store_id int,
      key idx_a(id, separated)
    )engine=InnoDB
    partition by range ( year(separated) ) (
      partition p0 values less than (1991),
      partition p1 values less than (1996),
      partition p2 values less than (2001),
      partition p3 values less than maxvalue
    );
    create table employees (
      id int not null,
      fname varchar(30),
      lname varchar(30),
      hired date not null default '1970-01-01',
      separated date not null default '9999-12-31',
      job_code int,
      store_id int,
      primary key(id, separated)
    )engine=VP
    comment 'table_name_list "emp_pk emp_detail", pk_correspond_mode "1"';

  Note: In this case, parent table's primary key has columns that using both child table partitioning rules for using partition pruning.
  (In the future, I will improve this to become "parent table's primary key has only real primary key (id) and child tables can use partition pruning")


4.Vertical Partitioning can add "parallel columns searching" to other storage engines with supporting "parallel searching" like spider storage engine.(Now developping)


5.Vertical Partitioning storage engine can use for partitioning wrapper because Vertical Partitioning storage engine supports MySQL's table partitioning.
  You can use each partition like tables by this feature.(Don't use this feature because now developping)

  Example
    create table tbl_b(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a)
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_c(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a)
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_d(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a)
    )engine=InnoDB;
    create table tbl_a(
      col_a int not null,
      col_b varchar(20),
      col_c int not null,
      primary key(col_a)
    )engine=VP
    partition by hash(col_a)
    (
      partition pt1 comment='table_name_list "tbl_b"',
      partition pt2 comment='table_name_list "tbl_c"',
      partition pt3 comment='table_name_list "tbl_d"'
    );


In this time, Vertical Partitioning storage engine is alpha version and some features can not use yet but I will develop fast for adding features.
Enjoy!
