Affects: Server-5.4
—
Status: Complete
MySQL 5.4.0:
To improve the InnoDB I/O subsystem's ability to make more effective
use of available I/O capacity, apply the Google IO rate patch from the
launchpad tree 5.1-patches maintained by Mark Callaghan:
http://code.google.com/p/google-mysql-tools/wiki/InnodbIoTuning
Applied to MySQL 5.4.0.
Community contribution; for details, follow the link to launchpad:
http://code.google.com/p/google-mysql-tools/wiki/InnodbIoTuning
and the MySQL 5.4.0 description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-5.4-features/en/innodb-io-changes.html
Patch adds:
* innodb_io_capacity - number of disk IOPs the server can do. Rate
limiting is used to prevent IO done by background threads from using
all of the capacity of the server.
* innodb_extra_dirty_writes - flush dirty buffer pages when dirty pct
is less than max dirty pct
