Hello list, I come here with a case I can say very strange.
I explain, we have a db server with mysql version 5.5.49 on debian jessie. Some days ago, our workflow allowed us to purge a large table from one of our db servers. By large I mean a table which had 350GB in size. To purge that table, I displayed the table configuration (show create table tblname), then dropped that table and recreated it with the informations from the show create table command. At this point all was ok. A colleague of mine reported me, 3 days after that purge, that his app's jobs are taking longer to execute compared to before the purge operation. At least, the job's execution time is now, from 1h to 2 hours longer. And once, the time was longer than 2h. What does the job do ? It writes the same data to 2 tables. On one of the tables, entries older than 2 months are deleted at the end of jobs activity, on the other table these entries are not deleted. This is the table I purged. I can't seen any logical explanation to that behaviour, and that's making me crazy. I mean, he have now less data, less indexes, less searching, so I can't explain how is it possible. I'm not an mysql expert, and maybe there is something I don't have as a logic. So I would be grateful, if someone had an explanation for me. Any advice is also welcome to futher debug what is hapening.
