@timhaines yeah forget about table_rows now, let's focus on data_length and index_length.
2012-05-18 04:32:43@kenn Also - running a select count(*) on the dumped/reimported one took 23 secs. I gave up on the "insert into select" table after mins.
2012-05-18 04:33:17@timhaines then maybe you did something wrong with the "insert into select" query? are you 100% sure with the query?
2012-05-18 04:35:00@kenn I'm running another count on it now to make sure the row counts are the same. Will wait this time.
2012-05-18 04:38:11@timhaines ok let me know when it's done... going out for lunch now. :)
2012-05-18 04:38:49@timhaines btw, if you want to check the progress, use innotop and press R. you see how many inserts/sec is going on.
2012-05-18 05:11:19@toxaq about 300m for this table I think. 20GB before the remove, 7GB after.
2012-05-18 05:22:19@timhaines I don't know how slow it looks to you. :) why did you want to insert-select in the first place? ALTER TABLE does that for you.
2012-05-18 05:23:13@kenn I thought it would give me fresh clean table the same way dump did, but allowed me to keep the original too.
2012-05-18 05:24:20@timhaines ah, i see. but the original will be stale immediately as the new table gets new records? for just-in-case I'd just keep the dump
2012-05-18 05:29:01@kenn I'm mucking about on a paused slave trying to figure out how I can dump and restore to single file per table with 24 hours.
2012-05-18 05:31:12@timhaines tablespace will never shrink. you need another fresh slave with file_per_table config
2012-05-18 05:33:59@kenn Yeah, that's what I'm setting up. Sorry, described it wrong.
2012-05-18 05:34:48@kenn Yep. Riak write performance was terrible with LevelDB.
2012-05-18 05:36:02@timhaines nice tip. I'm leaning toward polyglot persistence - innodb+mongodb+redis ftw
2012-05-18 05:37:21@kenn I use redis quite a bit too, for some timelines etc that fit in ram.
2012-05-18 05:38:25@timhaines yeah, redis is the coolest thing in recent years. I use mysql+redis in every project.
2012-05-18 05:40:11@timhaines @kenn 1.2 release has bloom filter support and better compaction which should show better performance for some use cases.
2012-05-18 05:46:22@pharkmillups for bloom filter how do you compare it with redis? redis has super-easy bitset support
2012-05-18 05:49:40@pharkmillups @kenn @dizzyd tested writing new objects with the bloom filter branch too - it didn't help apparently.
