MySQL 8.0新特性之统计直方图
概览
MySQL8.0实现了统计直方图。利用直方图,用户可以对一张表的一列做数据分布的统计,特别是针对没有索引的字段。这可以帮助查询优化器找到更优的执行计划。统计直方图的主要使用场景是用来计算字段选择性,即过滤效率。
可以通过以下方式来创建或者删除直方图:
ANALYZE TABLE tbl_name UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON col_name [, col_name] WITH N BUCKETS; ANALYZE TABLE tbl_name DROP HISTOGRAM ON col_name [, col_name];
buckets默认是100。统计直方图的信息存储在数据字典表"column_statistcs"中,可以通过视图information_schema.COLUMN_STATISTICS访问。直方图以灵活的JSON的格式存储。ANALYZE TABLE会基于表大小自动判断是否要进行取样操作。ANALYZE TABLE也会基于表中列的数据分布情况以及bucket的数量来决定是否要建立等宽直方图(singleton)还是等高直方图(equi-height)。
什么是直方图
数据库中,查询优化器负责将SQL转换成最有效的执行计划。有时候,查询优化器会走不到最优的执行计划,导致花费了更多不必要的时间。造成这种情况的主要原因是,查询优化器有时无法准确的知道以下几个问题的答案:
每个表有多少行? 每一列有多少不同的值? 每一列的数据分布情况?
举例说明:一张简单的表,两个字段,一个字段是person_id,另一个字段是time_of_day,表示睡觉时间
CREATE TABLE bedtime ( person_id INT, time_of_day TIME);
对于time_of_day列,大部分人上床时间会在晚上11:00左右。所以下面第一个查询会比第二个查询返回更多的行数:
1) SELECT * FROM bedtime WHERE time_of_day BETWEEN "22:00:00" AND "23:59:00" 2) SELECT * FROM bedtime WHERE time_of_day BETWEEN "12:00:00" AND "14:00:00"
如果没有统计数据,优化器会假设time_of_day的值是均匀分配的,即一个人的上床时间在下午3点和晚上11点的概率差不多。如何才能使查询优化器知道数据的分布情况?一个解决方法就是在列上建立统计直方图。
直方图能近似获得一列的数据分布情况,从而让数据库知道它含有哪些数据。直方图有多种形式,MySQL支持了两种:等宽直方图(singleton)、等高直方图(equi-height)。直方图的共同点是,它们都将数据分到了一系列的buckets中去。MySQL会自动将数据划到不同的buckets中,也会自动决定创建哪种类型的直方图。
如何创建和删除统计直方图
为了管理统计直方图,ANALYZE TABLE命令新增了两个子句:
ANALYZE TABLE tbl_name UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON col_name [, col_name] WITH N BUCKETS; ANALYZE TABLE tbl_name DROP HISTOGRAM ON col_name [, col_name];
第一个表示一次可以为一个或多个列创建统计直方图:
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE payment UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON amount WITH 32 BUCKETS; +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+ | sakila.payment | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'amount'. | +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.27 sec) mysql> ANALYZE TABLE payment UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON amount, payment_date WITH 32 BUCKETS; +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | sakila.payment | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'amount'. | | sakila.payment | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'payment_date'. | +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+
buckets的值必须指定,可以设置为1到1024,默认值是100。
对于不同的数据集合,buckets的值取决于以下几个因素:
这列有多少不同的值 数据的分布情况 需要多高的准确性
但是,某些buckets的值能提升的关于数据分布情况的准确性相当低。所以,建议的做法是,开始的时候将buckets的值设的低一点,比如32,然后如果没有满足期望,再往上增大。
上面这个例子中,我们对于amount列建立了两次直方图。第一个语句,建立了一个新的直方图;第二个语句,amount列的直方图被重写了。
如果需要删除已经创建的直方图,用DROP HISTOGRAM就可以实现:
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE payment DROP HISTOGRAM ON payment_date; +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | sakila.payment | histogram | status | Histogram statistics removed for column 'payment_date'. | +----------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+
UPDATE HISTOGRAM可以一次性为多个列创建直方图。如果命令中间写错,ANALYZE TABLE仍然会起作用。比如,你指定了三列,但第二列不存在。MySQL仍然会为第一列和第三列创建直方图。
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE customer UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON c_birth_day, c_foobar, c_birth_month WITH 32 BUCKETS; +----------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | tpcds.customer | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'c_birth_day'. | | tpcds.customer | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'c_birth_month'. | | tpcds.customer | histogram | Error | The column 'c_foobar' does not exist. | +----------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.15 sec)
数据库内部发生了什么
当你读过MySQL手册,你可能已经注意到新的系统变量histogram_generation_max_mem_size。当用户建立统计直方图,这个值是用来控制大约多少内存能允许被使用。那么,为什么要控制这个呢?
当你在建立直方图的时候,MySQL server会将所有数据读到内存中,然后在内存中进行操作,包括排序。如果对一个很大的表建立直方图,可能会有风险将几百M的数据都读到内存中,但这是不明智的。为了规避这个风险,MySQL会根据给定的histogram_generation_max_mem_size的值计算该将多少行数据读到内存中。如果根据当前histogram_generation_max_mem_size的限制,MySQL认为只能读一部分数据,那么MySQL会进行取样。通过“sampling-rate”属性,可以观察到取样比率。
mysql> SET histogram_generation_max_mem_size = 1000000; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> ANALYZE TABLE customer UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON c_birth_country WITH 16 BUCKETS; +----------------+-----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | tpcds.customer | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'c_birth_country'. | +----------------+-----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.22 sec) mysql> SELECT histogram->>'$."sampling-rate"' -> FROM information_schema.column_statistics -> WHERE table_name = "customer" -> AND column_name = "c_birth_country"; +---------------------------------+ | histogram->>'$."sampling-rate"' | +---------------------------------+ | 0.048743243211626014 | +---------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
优化器创建了一个直方图,大约读了c_birth_country列4.8%的数据。取样是不确定的,因此意义不大。同样的数据,同样的两条语句‘‘ANALYZE TABLE tbl UPDATE HISTOGRAM …’’,如果用了取样,得到的直方图可能就不一样。
查询案例
统计直方图可以带来些什么?我们可以看个例子,这个例子中用了直方图,在执行时间上会有很大的不同。
环境:
TPC-DS Benchmark with scale factor of 1 Intel Core i7-4770 Debian Stretch MySQL 8.0 RC1 innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G optimizer_switch = "condition_fanout_filter=on"
Query 90
查询如下:上午售卖的数量与晚上售卖的数量的比率。
mysql> SELECT CAST(amc AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) / CAST(pmc AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) am_pm_ratio -> FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) amc -> FROM web_sales, -> household_demographics, -> time_dim, -> web_page -> WHERE ws_sold_time_sk = time_dim.t_time_sk -> AND ws_ship_hdemo_sk = household_demographics.hd_demo_sk -> AND ws_web_page_sk = web_page.wp_web_page_sk -> AND time_dim.t_hour BETWEEN 9 AND 9 + 1 -> AND household_demographics.hd_dep_count = 2 -> AND web_page.wp_char_count BETWEEN 5000 AND 5200) at, -> (SELECT COUNT(*) pmc -> FROM web_sales, -> household_demographics, -> time_dim, -> web_page -> WHERE ws_sold_time_sk = time_dim.t_time_sk -> AND ws_ship_hdemo_sk = household_demographics.hd_demo_sk -> AND ws_web_page_sk = web_page.wp_web_page_sk -> AND time_dim.t_hour BETWEEN 15 AND 15 + 1 -> AND household_demographics.hd_dep_count = 2 -> AND web_page.wp_char_count BETWEEN 5000 AND 5200) pt -> ORDER BY am_pm_ratio -> LIMIT 100; +-------------+ | am_pm_ratio | +-------------+ | 1.27619048 | +-------------+ 1 row in set (1.48 sec)
可以看到,查询花费了1.5秒左右。看起来不算多,但是通过在一列上建立直方图,可以让执行速度快三倍。
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE web_page UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON wp_char_count WITH 8 BUCKETS; +----------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | tpcds.web_page | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'wp_char_count'. | +----------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.06 sec) mysql> SELECT ... +-------------+ | am_pm_ratio | +-------------+ | 1.27619048 | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.50 sec)
通过这个直方图,查询花费了0.5秒左右。原因呢?主要的原因是,查询语句中的谓词“web_page.wp_char_count BETWEEN 5000 AND 5200”。没有直方图的时候,优化器会假设web_page表中符合谓词“web_page.wp_char_count BETWEEN 5000 AND 5200”的数据占到总数据11.11%左右。但,这是错误的。用下面的查询语句,可以看到实际上满足条件的数据只有1.6%。
mysql> SELECT -> (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM web_page WHERE web_page.wp_char_count BETWEEN 5000 AND 5200) -> / -> (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM web_page) AS ratio; +--------+ | ratio | +--------+ | 0.0167 | +--------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
通过直方图,优化器会知道这个信息,并且更早进行表join,因此执行时间快了三倍。
Query 61
查询如下:在给定的年份和月份,有和没有广告宣传的情况下货物的售卖比率。
mysql> SELECT promotions, -> total, -> CAST(promotions AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) / CAST(total AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) * 100 -> FROM (SELECT SUM(ss_ext_sales_price) promotions -> FROM store_sales, -> store, -> promotion, -> date_dim, -> customer, -> customer_address, -> item -> WHERE ss_sold_date_sk = d_date_sk -> AND ss_store_sk = s_store_sk -> AND ss_promo_sk = p_promo_sk -> AND ss_customer_sk = c_customer_sk -> AND ca_address_sk = c_current_addr_sk -> AND ss_item_sk = i_item_sk -> AND ca_gmt_offset = -5 -> AND i_category = 'Home' -> AND ( p_channel_dmail = 'Y' -> OR p_channel_email = 'Y' -> OR p_channel_tv = 'Y' ) -> AND s_gmt_offset = -5 -> AND d_year = 2000 -> AND d_moy = 12) promotional_sales, -> (SELECT SUM(ss_ext_sales_price) total -> FROM store_sales, -> store, -> date_dim, -> customer, -> customer_address, -> item -> WHERE ss_sold_date_sk = d_date_sk -> AND ss_store_sk = s_store_sk -> AND ss_customer_sk = c_customer_sk -> AND ca_address_sk = c_current_addr_sk -> AND ss_item_sk = i_item_sk -> AND ca_gmt_offset = -5 -> AND i_category = 'Home' -> AND s_gmt_offset = -5 -> AND d_year = 2000 -> AND d_moy = 12) all_sales -> ORDER BY promotions, -> total -> LIMIT 100; +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | promotions | total | CAST(promotions AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) / CAST(total AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) * 100 | +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 3213210.07 | 5966836.78 | 53.85114741 | +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (2.78 sec)
可以看到,查询花费了2.8秒左右。但是,查询优化器不知道s_gmt_offset列只有一个不同的值。没有统计数据的情况下,优化器会用所谓的“hard-coded guesstimates”,会假设10%的数据符合条件“ca_gmt_offset = -5“。如果在这个列上增加一个直方图,优化器会知道所有的数据都符合条件,因此会走一个更好的执行计划。
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE store UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON s_gmt_offset WITH 8 BUCKETS; +-------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +-------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | tpcds.store | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 's_gmt_offset'. | +-------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.06 sec) mysql> SELECT ... +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | promotions | total | CAST(promotions AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) / CAST(total AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) * 100 | +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 3213210.07 | 5966836.78 | 53.85114741 | +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (1.37 sec)
有了直方图,查询花了不到1.4秒,差不多提升了2倍。原因是:
第一个执行计划,优化器选择了第一个派生表在store表上做了全表扫描,然后对表item, store_sales, date_dim, customer,customer_address分别做了主键查找。 但是,当MySQL意识到store表会比它猜测的返回更多的数据时,优化器会在item表上做全表扫描,然后对store_sales, store, date_dim, customer,customer_address 分别做主键查找。
为什么不用索引?
索引往往也能做上述工作,比如:
mysql> CREATE INDEX s_gmt_offset_idx ON store (s_gmt_offset); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> SELECT ... +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | promotions | total | CAST(promotions AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) / CAST(total AS DECIMAL(15, 4)) * 100 | +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 3213210.07 | 5966836.78 | 53.85114741 | +------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (1.41 sec)
但是,用直方图而不是索引有以下两个原因:
维护一个索引有代价。每一次的insert、update、delete都会需要更新索引,会对性能有一定的影响。而直方图一次创建永不更新,除非明确去更新它。所以不会影响insert、update、delete的性能。如果有索引,优化器用使用index dives技术来估算符合条件范围的记录数量。这种方式也是有代价的,特别是查询语句条件中有很长的IN列表。直方图相对而言代价小,因此可能更合适。
检索统计直方图
统计直方图以JSON的形式存在数据字典中。可以用内建的JSON函数built-in JSON functions从直方图获取一些信息。举例来说,如果需要知道amount列的直方图的创建或者更新时间,可以用JSON unquoting extraction operator来获取信息:
mysql> SELECT -> HISTOGRAM->>'$."last-updated"' AS last_updated -> FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMN_STATISTICS -> WHERE -> SCHEMA_NAME = "sakila" -> AND TABLE_NAME = "payment" -> AND COLUMN_NAME = "amount"; +----------------------------+ | last_updated | +----------------------------+ | 2017-09-15 11:54:25.000000 | +----------------------------+
如果要查找实际有多少个buckets,以及用analyze table时指定了多少个buckets,可以如下:
mysql> SELECT -> TABLE_NAME, -> COLUMN_NAME, -> HISTOGRAM->>'$."number-of-buckets-specified"' AS num_buckets_specified, -> JSON_LENGTH(HISTOGRAM, '$.buckets') AS num_buckets_created -> FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMN_STATISTICS -> WHERE -> SCHEMA_NAME = "sakila"; +------------+--------------+-----------------------+---------------------+ | TABLE_NAME | COLUMN_NAME | num_buckets_specified | num_buckets_created | +------------+--------------+-----------------------+---------------------+ | payment | amount | 32 | 19 | | payment | payment_date | 32 | 32 | +------------+--------------+-----------------------+---------------------+
经测试,num_buckets_created与字段的distinct值很接近,近似相等;但是num_buckets_created不会大于num_buckets_specified。如果num_buckets_created与num_buckets_specified相等,那么存在可能,在创建直方图的时候指定的buckets不够多,那么此时可以通过增加buckets的数量,来提高直方图的准确性。
buckets可以设置为1到1024
优化器trace
如果你想要知道直方图做了什么,最简单的方式就是看一下执行计划:
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM customer WHERE c_birth_day BETWEEN 1 AND 10; +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | customer | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 98633 | 11.11 | Using where | +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql> ANALYZE TABLE customer UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON c_birth_day WITH 32 BUCKETS; +----------------+-----------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text | +----------------+-----------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------+ | tpcds.customer | histogram | status | Histogram statistics created for column 'c_birth_day'. | +----------------+-----------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.10 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM customer WHERE c_birth_day BETWEEN 1 AND 10; +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | customer | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 98633 | 32.12 | Using where | +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
可以看到filtered列,从默认的11.11%变成了更精确的32.12%。但是,如果有多个条件,有些有直方图,有些没有,就比较难判断优化器做了什么改进:
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM customer WHERE c_birth_day <= 20 AND c_birth_year = 1967; +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | customer | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 98633 | 6.38 | Using where | +----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+----------+-------------+ 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
如果想要知道更多关于直方图统计的细节,可以使用trace:
mysql> SET OPTIMIZER_TRACE = "enabled=on"; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> SET OPTIMIZER_TRACE_MAX_MEM_SIZE = 1000000; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM customer WHERE c_birth_day <= 20 AND c_birth_year = 1967; mysql> SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(TRACE, "$**.filtering_effect") FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE; +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | JSON_EXTRACT(TRACE, "$**.filtering_effect") | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | [[{"condition": "(`customer`.`c_birth_day` <= 20)", "histogram_selectivity": 0.6376}]] | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
这里用了JSON_EXTRACT从trace里取出相关的部分。对于每个条件,直方图被使用的话,就会看到估算过的字段的选择性。在这个例子里,通过直方图,对“c_birth_day <= 20”条件,估算出63.76%的数据满足条件。事实上,与实际的数据分布情况基本一致:
mysql> SELECT -> (SELECT count(*) FROM customer WHERE c_birth_day <= 20) -> / -> (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customer) AS ratio; +--------+ | ratio | +--------+ | 0.6376 | +--------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
