I am using as well MariaDB + TokuDB with "a write heavy, low update, workload especially with interval flushing (non-fsync durable) commits" => do you have maybe a short list of the limitations of MyRocks in MariaDB for this area?
I tried to use MyRocks (never used it before) in MariaDB some months ago but couldn't find almost any docs and ultimately didn't understand which parameters were supposed to be set how under which condition... .
- sethhochberg 8y agoIMO this is one of the biggest issues with the alternative storage engines for MySQL-family databases... we've also experimented with TokuDB for log-like data but found that, ultimately, the shortage of detailed documentation and operational issues like needing to develop homegrown tooling for things like backups overpowered the performance benefits. InnoDB isn't perfect, but it _is_ exhaustively documented and pretty well-understood, with a great set of related tools from Percona, etc, for simplifying operations. That goes a long way. Recently we've switched back to using InnoDB for ingestion on one of our write-heavy tables and aggressively archiving the data out of it and into Clickhouse (InnoDB deals with the high volume of concurrent inserts, data is loaded into Clickhouse in large batches for querying). By comparison to Toku or RocksDB, Clickhouse is refreshingly well-documented and its easy for us to make consistent backups with ZFS snapshots.
