试用阿里云RDS的MySQL压缩存储引擎TokuDB

由 James Qi, 2015年7月12日

　　以前就用过自己搭建MySQL服务器的两种存储引擎MyISAM和InnoDB（也用过一点Memory方式），在今年初转向阿里云关系型数据库服务RDS的时候，看到可调参数中有一个TokuDB，不过不太了解也没有管。

　　最近同事转给我阿里云介绍TokuDB的文章，其中压缩存储的特性对我们来说很有吸引力，因为我们的数据库一般都偏大，已经转到阿里云的就有几百个GB了，加上以后要转的肯定是TB数量级的，而且目前还是用的MyISAM，如果用InnoDB的话，那还要扩大数倍，仅仅是存储的费用就让人难以承受。但MyISAM存在表容易损坏的问题，往后用的人越来越少，Drupal 7 以后默认的支持引擎都改为InnoDB，阿里云也推荐不要使用MyISAM。

　　据说这个TokuDB与InnoDB的特性很类似，而改用压缩方式后特别适合大数据时代的应用，但数据的压缩解压必定带来CPU在这方面的消耗，这不是大的问题，我关注的主要是IOPS和连接数是否会增加，如果这两个参数基本维持稳定的话，用CPU来换存储空间还是值得的、有余地的。

　　虽然今天是周末，但也还是找了几篇文章、网站查看：

　　然后马上就把我博客所在的RDS中多数表都从InnoDB改为TokuDB了，这个RDS的空间从1.8G下降到约800M，下降了一多半，还是很明显的，如果是更大数据量的表下降应该更加明显，不过如果以前是MyISAM的话，下降可能就不那么明显了。

　　另外，要设置loose_tokudb_buffer_pool_ratio为合适的比例，也就是tokudb占用tokudb与innodb共用缓存的比例，默认在tokudb不使用的情况下是0，如果全部都用tokudb可以改为100，也可以在innodb转换tokudb前根据下面公式来计算：

select sum(data_length) into @all_size from information_schema.tables where engine='innodb';
select sum(data_length) into @change_size from information_schema.tables where engine='innodb' and concat(table_schema, '.', table_name) in ('XX.XXXX', 'XX.XXXX', 'XX.XXXX');
select round(@change_size/@all_size*100);

　　或者转换后根据我自己改写的公式来计算：

select sum(data_length) into @innodb_size from information_schema.tables where engine='innodb';
select sum(data_length) into @tokudb_size from information_schema.tables where engine='tokudb';
select round(@tokudb_size/(@innodb_size+@tokudb_size)*100);

　　改变后各种参数还在观察中，如果效果好再推广到其他RDS的其他数据上。

　　一些参数还需要摸索调整。

　　2015年7月14日夜补充：前两天看到tokudb的压缩特性很高兴，就连夜转了好几台RDS上的很多库中的表，但这两天RDS接连出现问题，主要是日志中有大量这样的报错：errno: 24 - Too many open files，查阅资料后得知tokudb是每个索引都要建一个文件（innodb/myisam都是按每个表来新建一组文件），那如果表多、索引多，就容易超出RDS打开文件数的限制。阿里云客服后来打来电话，建议：
