MySQL InnoDB deadlock problem with two same queries (different parameters)

问题

I have the following table

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `task` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `job_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'The id of the related job',
  `server_id` tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'job/task owner',
  `jobtype_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `node_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'The id of the user currently executing this task',
  `status` enum('QUEUED','EXECUTING','COMPLETED','CANCELED','TERMINATED','PAUSED','FAILED') NOT NULL COMMENT 'Current status of the task',
  `last_updated` int(11) NOT NULL COMMENT 'When was the last status change of this task. Used in requeueing hung tasks',
  `data_in` blob NOT NULL COMMENT 'An input data to the task. Sets when the task is created.',
  `data_out` blob NOT NULL COMMENT 'An output data of the task. Sets upon task completion. Can be absent.',
  `speed` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `time_spent` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `has_data_out` tinyint(1) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Shows if the task has any output data. Serves caching purposes. Used by Summarizers to quickly find out what tasks of the job yielded data.',
  `comment` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `fk_task_job_id` (`job_id`),
  KEY `index_has_data_out` (`has_data_out`),
  KEY `index_last_updated` (`last_updated`),
  KEY `index_status` (`status`),
  KEY `fk_task_userid` (`node_id`),
  KEY `jobtype_id` (`jobtype_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='This table holds all subjobs - tasks' AUTO_INCREMENT=1081595 ;

ALTER TABLE `task`

And the following deadlock problem:

Can you please help me to understand the mechanism of this deadlock?

Those two queries are issued from different threads. Each thread has it's own node_id in query. No two queries have same node_id.

I suspect, that I can solve the situation by creating a compound index on fields (node_id, status), but this isn't a good solution, I think. I need to understand the nature of the problem.

These deadlocks on the same query occure periodically, not once or twice.

EXPLAIN on affected queries gives interesting results:

id  select_type     table   type    possible_keys   key     key_len     ref     rows    Extra
1   SIMPLE  task    index_merge     index_status,fk_task_userid     index_status,fk_task_userid     1,4     NULL    1   Using intersect(index_status,fk_task_userid); Using where; Using index

MySQL version is 5.5.

Also, at the moment of the deadlock, tables contain no rows matching condition of the affected query (e.g. select usr_sl3.task.id from usr_sl3.task where (usr_sl3.task.node_id = 95 and usr_sl3.task.status = 'EXECUTING') for update yields no rows at all).

Thanks in advance.

回答1:

The query uses the index_status index instead of fk_task_userid (the index on node_id). This is the reason it locks records with other node_ids.

You can run explain on your query to see how much records are actually locked (in rows examined) vs how much of them you need to lock (rows returned)

I suspect, that I can solve the situation by creating a compound index on fields (node_id, status), but this isn't a good solution, I think. I need to understand the nature of the problem.

Why? I feel your indexes are not optimal anyway... Create index on node_id,status, it should resolve the problem
