Has anyone ran any benchmarks as to what affect different number of RAID_CHUNKS has on speed?
Also, what affect does the RAID_CHUNKSIZE have? Here are a few results I've gotten all with the default CHUCKSIZE. ----------------------------- No RAID Tables (yes, fewer rows.. hit the 2G limit) mysql> select count(*) from names; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 30304640 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like 'sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 56033 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.33 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like '%sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 151460 | +----------+ 1 row in set (2 min 3.70 sec) ----------------------------- RAID_CHUNKS=3 mysql> select count(*) from names; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 30352536 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like 'sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 55989 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.39 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like '%sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 151422 | +----------+ 1 row in set (14 min 59.83 sec) ----------------------------- RAID_CHUNKS=5 mysql> select count(*) from names; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 30352536 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like 'sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 55989 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.38 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like '%sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 151422 | +----------+ 1 row in set (6 min 44.92 sec) ----------------------------- RAID_CHUNKS=15 mysql> select count(*) from names; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 30352536 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like 'sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 55989 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.39 sec) mysql> select count(*) from names where sld like '%sex%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 151422 | +----------+ 1 row in set (6 min 33.72 sec) ----------------------------- This is running on a pretty wimpy box, but all ran several times so I was able to make sure the server was fully up. The box is a 750 PIII with 756M of RAM, running linux and the 3.23.44 version of mysql. Any suggestions would be great.
