Hi,
I tested and changed segsize=0.25GB which is max partitioned table file size and
default setting is 1GB in configure option (./configure --with-segsize=0.25).
Because I thought that small segsize is good for fsync phase and background disk
write in OS in checkpoint. I got significant improvements in DBT-2 result!
* Performance result in DBT-2 (WH340)
| NOTPM 90%tile Average Maximum
-----------------------------+---------------------------------------
original_0.7 (baseline) | 3474.62 18.348328 5.739 36.977713
fsync + write | 3586.85 14.459486 4.960 27.266958
fsync + write + segsize=0.25 | 3661.17 8.28816 4.117 17.23191
Changing segsize with my checkpoint patches improved original over 50% at 90%tile
and maximum response time.
However, this tests ware not same condition... I also changed SESSION parameter
100 to 300 in DBT-2 driver. In general, I heard good SESSION parameter is 100.
Andt I didn't understand optimized DBT-2 parameters a lot. So I will retry to
test my patches and baseline with optimized parameters in DBT-2. Please wait for
a while.
Best regards,
