Parallel replication has existed for many years, but it is not common in practical application scenarios. Luckily this time, we happened to have a customer whose write workload was very heavy, but it was difficult to keep up with, in which case I recommend that it use parallel slave threads.

So, how do you measure whether parallel replication plays a role in the customer's scenario? How much help can it bring to the customer's business? Let's take a look at it together.

In the customer business scenario, the slave_parallel_workers is 0, obviously I should increase it, but how much is the increase? 1 or 10, which we will explain in another article, first of all, in the scenario of this article, we adjusted the slave_parallel_workers to 40.

At the same time, we also made the following changes to slave:

Slave_parallel_type = LOGICAL_CLOCK;slave_parallel_workers = 40 ON slaveable preserveable slave order = slave

Forty threads sounds like a lot, but it depends on the specific workload, and if the transaction is independent, it may come in handy.

Next, let's look at which threads are working:

Mysql > SELECT performance_schema.events_transactions_summary_by_thread_by_event_name.THREAD_ID AS THREAD_ID Performance_schema.events_transactions_summary_by_thread_by_event_name.COUNT_STAR AS COUNT_STARFROM performance_schema.events_transactions_summary_by_thread_by_event_nameWHERE performance_schema.events_transactions_summary_by_thread_by_event_name.THREAD_ID IN (SELECT performance_schema.replication_applier_status_by_worker.THREAD_IDFROM performance_schema.replication_applier_status_by_worker) +-+ | THREAD_ID | COUNT_STAR | +-+-+ | 25882 | 442481 | | 25883 | 433200 | 25884 | 426460 | 25885 | 419772 | | 25886 | 413751 | | 25887 | 407511 | 25888 | 401592 | | 25889 | 395169 | | 25891 | 380657 | 25892 | 371923 | 25893 | 362482 | 25894 | 351601 | 25895 | 339282 | 25896 | 325148 | | 25897 | | | 310051 | | 25898 | 292187 | | 25899 | 272990 | | 25900 | 252843 | | 25901 | 232424 | +-+-+ |

From the above code, we can see which threads are working, but do these threads really speed up replication? can Slave write more at the same time?

Let's take a look at replication lag:

We can see that the big lag is coming down very quickly, is this because the number of threads has increased? Or is it because the job to generate multiple plug-ins is complete and there are no more writes? The replication delay did not reach 0 because the Slave deliberately delayed for an hour.)

Fortunately, we have other charts to look at in PMM, such as showing InnoDB Row actions:

Slave inserts more rows than before, so how many rows are actually inserted? Let's create a new chart to view

How many rows are inserted per hour. In PMM, we already have all this information, and we just need to create a new chart using the following query:

Increase (mysql_global_status_innodb_row_ops_total {instance= "$host", operationalization = "read"} [1h])

The results show that:

From the figure, we can see a significant increase in the number of rows inserted per hour, from about 50Mil to 200-400Mil per hour. We can conclude that increasing the number of slave_parallel_workers does help.
