Hello, I tried to play with drizzle, and as my experience is mostly unpleasant, as my goal left non-achieved. The goal was to run the similar benchmark as described in http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2012/02/18/mariadb-5-3-4-benchmarks/
I decided to share it with you, in case you want an opinion from a third party. I should say that I used RPM drizzle7-2012.01.30-1.el6.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz . Probably some issues resolved in more recent RC. First, I received to many crashes, and in very simple cases, i.e. wrong option name in drizzled.cnf Reported bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bug/935866 https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bug/935950 Another non-reported crash happens when I try to start drizzled --user=root ( probably drizzle tries to protect me from abusing the root account) Second, It seems drizzled does not accept values like 64M for max-heap-table-size and other variables, so I had to convert it to 67108864. Is that by intention ? I can't say this is a user friendly. On the user friendly note, I also had to convert option names from max_heap_table_size to max-heap-table-size, as drizzled refused to understand underscores. Which is probably not a big deal, but it was one on barriers for me get drizzled started. Long story short, it started and I uploaded sysbench data. Now my benchmark uses pre-load tables trick to have a warm data in cache, I use: ( mysql -e "select avg(id) from sbtest$i FORCE KEY (PRIMARY); " sbtest ) > $OUTDIR/warmup.${i}.out 2>&1 & This is 16 connections running in parallel. This process never finished in drizzle, as it seems it was serialized somewhere and I saw only 1 thread running. Drizzle threads under gdb during this time: (gdb) info threads all ap bt 43 Thread 0x7f38f4974700 (LWP 191767) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 42 Thread 0x7f38f3f73700 (LWP 191768) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 41 Thread 0x7f38f3572700 (LWP 191769) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 40 Thread 0x7f38f2b71700 (LWP 191770) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 39 Thread 0x7f38f2170700 (LWP 191771) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 38 Thread 0x7f38f176f700 (LWP 191772) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 37 Thread 0x7f38f0d6e700 (LWP 191773) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 36 Thread 0x7f38f036d700 (LWP 191774) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 35 Thread 0x7f38ef96c700 (LWP 191775) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 34 Thread 0x7f38eef6b700 (LWP 191776) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 33 Thread 0x7f38ee56a700 (LWP 191777) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 32 Thread 0x7f38edb69700 (LWP 191778) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 31 Thread 0x7f38ed168700 (LWP 191779) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 30 Thread 0x7f38ec767700 (LWP 191780) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 29 Thread 0x7f38ebd66700 (LWP 191781) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 28 Thread 0x7f38eb365700 (LWP 191782) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 27 Thread 0x7f38ea964700 (LWP 191783) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 26 Thread 0x7f38e9f63700 (LWP 191784) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 25 Thread 0x7f38e8b61700 (LWP 191786) 0x000000389be0b75b in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 24 Thread 0x7f38e8160700 (LWP 191787) 0x000000389be0b75b in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 23 Thread 0x7f38e775f700 (LWP 191788) 0x000000389be0b75b in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 22 Thread 0x7f38e6d5e700 (LWP 191789) 0x000000389b6de2f3 in select () from /lib64/libc.so.6 21 Thread 0x7f38e9562700 (LWP 191790) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 20 Thread 0x7f38e635d700 (LWP 191791) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 19 Thread 0x7f38e595c700 (LWP 191792) 0x000000389b632d65 in sigwait () from /lib64/libc.so.6 18 Thread 0x7f38e4e19700 (LWP 191793) 0x000000389be0d6c0 in sem_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 17 Thread 0x7f38d3fff700 (LWP 191833) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 16 Thread 0x7f38d35fe700 (LWP 191835) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 15 Thread 0x7f38d2bfd700 (LWP 191838) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 14 Thread 0x7f38d21fc700 (LWP 191841) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 13 Thread 0x7f38d17fb700 (LWP 191843) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 12 Thread 0x7f38d0dfa700 (LWP 191845) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 11 Thread 0x7f3890169700 (LWP 191847) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 10 Thread 0x7f388f768700 (LWP 191850) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 9 Thread 0x7f388ed67700 (LWP 191856) 0x000000389be0b3dc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 8 Thread 0x7f388e366700 (LWP 191857) 0x00000000006df764 in ??
