25.6.16 NDB API Statistics Counters and Variables

A number of types of statistical counters relating to actions performed by or affecting Ndb objects are available. Such actions include starting and closing (or aborting) transactions; primary key and unique key operations; table, range, and pruned scans; threads blocked while waiting for the completion of various operations; and data and events sent and received by NDBCLUSTER. The counters are incremented inside the NDB kernel whenever NDB API calls are made or data is sent to or received by the data nodes. mysqld exposes these counters as system status variables; their values can be read in the output of SHOW STATUS, or by querying the Performance Schema session_status or global_status table. By comparing the values before and after statements operating on NDB tables, you can observe the corresponding actions taken on the API level, and thus the cost of performing the statement.

You can list all of these status variables using the following SHOW STATUS statement:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%';

Each Ndb object has its own counters. NDB API applications can read the values of the counters for use in optimization or monitoring. For multithreaded clients which use more than one Ndb object concurrently, it is also possible to obtain a summed view of counters from all Ndb objects belonging to a given Ndb_cluster_connection.

Four sets of these counters are exposed. One set applies to the current session only; the other 3 are global. This is in spite of the fact that their values can be obtained as either session or global status variables in the mysql client. This means that specifying the SESSION or GLOBAL keyword with SHOW STATUS has no effect on the values reported for NDB API statistics status variables, and the value for each of these variables is the same whether the value is obtained from the equivalent column of the session_status or the global_status table.

• Session counters (session specific)

  Session counters relate to the Ndb objects in use by (only) the current session. Use of such objects by other MySQL clients does not influence these counts.

  In order to minimize confusion with standard MySQL session variables, we refer to the variables that correspond to these NDB API session counters as “_session variables”, with a leading underscore.

• Replica counters (global)

  This set of counters relates to the Ndb objects used by the replica SQL thread, if any. If this mysqld does not act as a replica, or does not use NDB tables, then all of these counts are 0.

  We refer to the related status variables as “_replica variables” (with a leading underscore).

• Injector counters (global)

  Injector counters relate to the Ndb object used to listen to cluster events by the binary log injector thread. Even when not writing a binary log, mysqld processes attached to an NDB Cluster continue to listen for some events, such as schema changes.

  We refer to the status variables that correspond to NDB API injector counters as “_injector variables” (with a leading underscore).

• Server (Global) counters (global)

  This set of counters relates to all Ndb objects currently used by this mysqld. This includes all MySQL client applications, the replica SQL thread (if any), the binary log injector, and the NDB utility thread.

  We refer to the status variables that correspond to these counters as “global variables” or “mysqld-level variables”.

You can obtain values for a particular set of variables by additionally filtering for the substring session, replica, or injector in the variable name (along with the common prefix Ndb_api). For _session variables, this can be done as shown here:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%session';

Not all counters are reflected in all 4 sets of status variables. For the event counters DataEventsRecvdCount, NondataEventsRecvdCount, and EventBytesRecvdCount, only _injector and mysqld-level NDB API status variables are available:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%event%';
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name                        | Value |
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| Ndb_api_event_data_count_injector    | 0     |
| Ndb_api_event_nondata_count_injector | 0     |
| Ndb_api_event_bytes_count_injector   | 0     |
| Ndb_api_event_data_count             | 0     |
| Ndb_api_event_nondata_count          | 0     |
| Ndb_api_event_bytes_count            | 0     |
+--------------------------------------+-------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

_injector status variables are not implemented for any other NDB API counters, as shown here:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%injector%';
+--------------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name                        | Value |
+--------------------------------------+-------+

| Ndb_api_event_bytes_count_injector   | 0     |
+--------------------------------------+-------+

To see all counts of committed transactions—that is, all TransCommitCount counter status variables—you can filter the results of SHOW STATUS for the substring trans_commit_count, like this:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE '%trans_commit_count%';
+------------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name                      | Value |
+------------------------------------+-------+
| Ndb_api_trans_commit_count_session | 1     |
| Ndb_api_trans_commit_count_slave   | 0     |
| Ndb_api_trans_commit_count         | 2     |
+------------------------------------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

From this you can determine that 1 transaction has been committed in the current mysql client session, and 2 transactions have been committed on this mysqld since it was last restarted.

You can see how various NDB API counters are incremented by a given SQL statement by comparing the values of the corresponding _session status variables immediately before and after performing the statement. In this example, after getting the initial values from SHOW STATUS, we create in the test database an NDB table, named t, that has a single column:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%session%';
+--------------------------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name                              | Value  |

18 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> USE test;
Database changed
mysql> CREATE TABLE t (c INT) ENGINE NDBCLUSTER;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.85 sec)

Now you can execute a new SHOW STATUS statement and observe the changes, as shown here (with the changed rows highlighted in the output):

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%session%';
+--------------------------------------------+-----------+
| Variable_name                              | Value     |

+--------------------------------------------+-----------+
18 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Similarly, you can see the changes in the NDB API statistics counters caused by inserting a row into t: Insert the row, then run the same SHOW STATUS statement used in the previous example, as shown here:

mysql> INSERT INTO t VALUES (100);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'ndb_api%session%';
+--------------------------------------------+-----------+
| Variable_name                              | Value     |
+--------------------------------------------+-----------+

| Ndb_api_wait_scan_result_count_session     | 6         |
| Ndb_api_wait_meta_request_count_session    | 20        |
| Ndb_api_wait_nanos_count_session           | 707370418 |

18 rows in set (0.00 sec)

We can make a number of observations from these results:

• Although we created t with no explicit primary key, 5 primary key operations were performed in doing so (the difference in the “before” and “after” values of Ndb_api_pk_op_count_session, or 6 minus 1). This reflects the creation of the hidden primary key that is a feature of all tables using the NDB storage engine.

• By comparing successive values for Ndb_api_wait_nanos_count_session, we can see that the NDB API operations implementing the CREATE TABLE statement waited much longer (706871709 - 820705 = 706051004 nanoseconds, or approximately 0.7 second) for responses from the data nodes than those executed by the INSERT (707370418 - 706871709 = 498709 ns or roughly .0005 second). The execution times reported for these statements in the mysql client correlate roughly with these figures.

  On platforms without sufficient (nanosecond) time resolution, small changes in the value of the WaitNanosCount NDB API counter due to SQL statements that execute very quickly may not always be visible in the values of Ndb_api_wait_nanos_count_session, Ndb_api_wait_nanos_count_replica, or Ndb_api_wait_nanos_count.

• The INSERT statement incremented both the ReadRowCount and TransLocalReadRowCount NDB API statistics counters, as reflected by the increased values of Ndb_api_read_row_count_session and Ndb_api_trans_local_read_row_count_session.
