Not sure if this is a bug
we are updating a large table with replace delayed from our feeder
systems, 1000 records at a time using limit's on the input data pull
this works great when there's fast selects from the table, while the
insert is going
when a site does a large pull, which can take 1 minute due to the size,
the replace is locked, I expected this, however, users doing small pulls
after the replace also get locked
so I end up with 1 select running, 1 locked replace, and 50 locked
queries waiting behind the replace, everything backs up behind the
select that's running
is this normal? We did not see this until 5.0.24, we were using 5.0.19
and load data infile all at once, with no locking issues, we put 5.0.24
on, and load data infile stopped working so we switched to the replace
delayed loop
the replace is fast, 1000 records takes 2 seconds, but the locking of
other users is causing huge problems
It's not a bug. I guess this is a myisam table?
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/table-locking.html
Any time the table is changed with myisam, the whole table is locked.
That's the way it works.
Innodb doesn't do it this way but it might cause other issues for you.
Try changing the table type on a test system and see if it
helps/hinders your problem(s).
