MySQL基于时间字段进行分区的方案总结_MySQL
最近,碰到一个需求,要对表的时间字段(类型:datetime)基于天进行分区。于是遍历MySQL官方文档分区章节,总结如下:
实现方式
主要是以下几种:
1. 基于RANGE
2. 基于RANGE COLUMNS
3. 基于HASH
测试数据
为了测试以上三种方案,特构造了100万的测试数据,放在test表中,test表只有两列:id和hiredate,其中hiredate只包含10天的数据,从2015-12-01到2015-12-10。具体信息如下:
mysql> show create table test\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: test Create Table: CREATE TABLE `test` ( `id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `hiredate` datetime DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select min(hiredate),max(hiredate) from test; +---------------------+---------------------+ | min(hiredate) | max(hiredate) | +---------------------+---------------------+ | 2015-12-01 00:00:00 | 2015-12-10 23:59:56 | +---------------------+---------------------+ 1 row in set (0.44 sec) mysql> select date(hiredate),count(*) from test group by date(hiredate); +----------------+----------+ | date(hiredate) | count(*) | +----------------+----------+ | 2015-12-01 | 99963 | | 2015-12-02 | 100032 | | 2015-12-03 | 100150 | | 2015-12-04 | 99989 | | 2015-12-05 | 99908 | | 2015-12-06 | 99897 | | 2015-12-07 | 100137 | | 2015-12-08 | 100171 | | 2015-12-09 | 99851 | | 2015-12-10 | 99902 | +----------------+----------+ 10 rows in set (0.98 sec)
测试的维度
测试的维度主要从两个方面进行,
一、分区剪裁
针对特定的查询,是否能进行分区剪裁(即只查询相关的分区,而不是所有分区)
二、查询时间
鉴于该批测试数据是静止的(即没有并发进行的insert,update和delete操作),数据量也不太大,从这个维度来考量貌似意义也不是很大。
因此,重点测试第一个维度。
基于RANGE的分区方案
在这里,选用了TO_DAYS函数
CREATE TABLE range_datetime( id INT, hiredate DATETIME ) PARTITION BY RANGE (TO_DAYS(hiredate) ) ( PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151202') ), PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151203') ), PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151204') ), PARTITION p4 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151205') ), PARTITION p5 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151206') ), PARTITION p6 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151207') ), PARTITION p7 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151208') ), PARTITION p8 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151209') ), PARTITION p9 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151210') ), PARTITION p10 VALUES LESS THAN ( TO_DAYS('20151211') ) );
插入数据并查看特定查询的执行计划
mysql> insert into range_datetime select * from test; Query OK, 1000000 rows affected (8.15 sec) Records: 1000000 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> explain partitions select * from range_datetime where hiredate >= '20151207124503' and hiredate
注意执行计划中的partitions的内容,只查询了p7,p8,p9,p10三个分区,由此来看,使用to_days函数确实可以实现分区裁剪。
基于RANGE COLUMNS的分区方案
RANGE COLUMNS可以直接基于列,而无需像上述RANGE那种,分区的对象只能为整数。
创表语句如下:
CREATE TABLE range_columns ( id INT, hiredate DATETIME ) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS(hiredate) ( PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151202' ), PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151203' ), PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151204' ), PARTITION p4 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151205' ), PARTITION p5 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151206' ), PARTITION p6 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151207' ), PARTITION p7 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151208' ), PARTITION p8 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151209' ), PARTITION p9 VALUES LESS THAN ( '20151210' ), PARTITION p10 VALUES LESS THAN ('20151211' ) );
插入数据并查看上述查询的执行计划
mysql> insert into range_columns select * from test; Query OK, 1000000 rows affected (9.20 sec) Records: 1000000 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> explain partitions select * from range_columns where hiredate >= '20151207124503' and hiredate
同样,使用该分区方案也实现了分区剪裁。
基于HASH的分区方案
因HASH分区对象同样只能为整数,所以我们无法像上述RANGE COLUMNS那种直接引用列,在这里,同样用了TO_DAYS函数进行转换。
创表语句如下:
CREATE TABLE hash_datetime ( id INT, hiredate DATETIME ) PARTITION BY HASH( TO_DAYS(hiredate) ) PARTITIONS 10;
插入数据并查看上述查询的执行计划
mysql> insert into hash_datetime select * from test; Query OK, 1000000 rows affected (9.43 sec) Records: 1000000 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> explain partitions select * from hash_datetime where hiredate >= '20151207124503' and hiredate
不难看出,使用hash分区并不能有效的实现分区裁剪,至少在本例,基于天的需求中如此。
以上三种方案都是基于datetime的,那么,对于timestamp类型,又该如何选择呢?
事实上,MySQL提供了一种基于UNIX_TIMESTAMP函数的RANGE分区方案,而且,只能使用UNIX_TIMESTAMP函数,如果使用其它函数,譬如to_days,会报如下错误:“ERROR 1486 (HY000): Constant, random or timezone-dependent expressions in (sub)partitioning function are not allowed”。
而且官方文档中也提到“Any other expressions involving TIMESTAMP values are not permitted. (See Bug #42849.)”。
下面来测试一下基于UNIX_TIMESTAMP函数的RANGE分区方案,看其能否实现分区裁剪。
针对TIMESTAMP的分区方案
创表语句如下:
CREATE TABLE range_timestamp ( id INT, hiredate TIMESTAMP ) PARTITION BY RANGE ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP(hiredate) ) ( PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-02 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-03 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-04 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p4 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-05 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p5 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-06 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p6 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-07 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p7 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-08 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p8 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-09 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p9 VALUES LESS THAN ( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-10 00:00:00') ), PARTITION p10 VALUES LESS THAN (UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-12-11 00:00:00') ) );
插入数据并查看上述查询的执行计划
mysql> insert into range_timestamp select * from test; Query OK, 1000000 rows affected (13.25 sec) Records: 1000000 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> explain partitions select * from range_timestamp where hiredate >= '20151207124503' and hiredate
同样也能实现分区裁剪。
总结:
1. 经过对比,个人倾向于第二种方案,即基于RANGE COLUMNS的分区实现。
2. 在5.7版本之前,对于DATA和DATETIME类型的列,如果要实现分区裁剪,只能使用YEAR() 和TO_DAYS()函数,在5.7版本中,又新增了TO_SECONDS()函数。
3. 其实LIST也能实现基于天的分区方案,但在这个需求上,相比于RANGE,还是显得很鸡肋。
4. TIMESTAMP类型的列,只能基于UNIX_TIMESTAMP函数进行分区,切记!
