NAME
ndbmtd - the MySQL Cluster data node daemon (multi-threaded version)
SYNOPSIS
ndbmtd options
DESCRIPTION
ndbmtd is a multi-threaded version of ndbd, the process that is used to
handle all the data in tables using the NDBCLUSTER storage engine.
ndbmtd is intended for use on host computers having multiple CPU cores.
Except where otherwise noted, ndbmtd functions in the same way as ndbd;
therefore, in this section, we concentrate on the ways in which ndbmtd
differs from ndbd, and you should consult ndbd(8), for additional
information about running MySQL Cluster data nodes that apply to both
the single-threaded and multi-threaded versions of the data node
process.
Command-line options and configuration parameters used with ndbd also
apply to ndbmtd. For more information about these options and
parameters, see ndbd(8), and Section 17.3.2.6, “Defining MySQL Cluster
Data Nodes”, respectively.
ndbmtd is also file system-compatible with ndbd. In other words, a data
node running ndbd can be stopped, the binary replaced with ndbmtd, and
then restarted without any loss of data. (However, when doing this, you
must make sure that MaxNoOfExecutionThreads is set to an apppriate
value before restarting the node if you wish for ndbmtd to run in
multi-threaded fashion.) Similarly, an ndbmtd binary can be replaced
with ndbd simply by stopping the node and then starting ndbd in place
of the multi-threaded binary. It is not necessary when switching
between the two to start the data node binary using --initial.
Prior to MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.6, there were known issues when using
ndbmtd with MySQL Cluster Disk Data tables. If you wish to use
multi-threaded data nodes with disk-based NDB tables, you should ensure
that you are running MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.6 or later. (Bug#41915[1],
Bug#44915[2])
Using ndbmtd differs from using ndbd in two key respects:
1. You must set an appropriate value for the MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
configuration parameter in the config.ini file. If you do not do
so, ndbmtd runs in single-threaded mode — that is, it behaves like
ndbd.
2. Trace files are generated by critical errors in ndbmtd processes in
a somewhat different fashion from how these are generated by ndbd
failures.
These differences are discussed in more detail in the next few
paragraphs.
Number of execution threads. The MaxNoOfExecutionThreads configuration
parameter is used to determine the number of local query handler (LQH)
threads spawned by ndbmtd. Although this parameter is set in [ndbd] or
[ndbd default] sections of the config.ini file, it is exclusive to
ndbmtd and does not apply to ndbd.
This parameter takes an integer value from 2 to 8 inclusive. Generally,
you should set this parameter equal to the number of CPU cores on the
data node host, as shown in the following table:
┌────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
│Number of Cores │ Recommended │
│ │ MaxNoOfExecutionThreads │
│ │ Value │
├────────────────┼─────────────────────────┤
│2 │ 2 │
├────────────────┼─────────────────────────┤
│4 │ 4 │
├────────────────┼─────────────────────────┤
│8 or more │ 8 │
└────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘
(It is possible to set this parameter to other values within the
permitted range, but these are automatically rounded as shown in the
Value Used column of the next table in this section.)
The multi-threaded data node process always spawns at least 4 threads:
· 1 local query handler (LQH) thread
· 1 transaction coordinator (TC) thread
· 1 transporter thread
· 1 subscription manager (SUMA) thread
Setting this parameter to a value between 4 and 8 inclusive causes
additional LQH threads to be used by ndbmtd (up to a maximum of 4 LQH
threads), as shown in the following table:
┌─────────────────┬────────────┬───────────────┐
│config.ini Value │ Value Used │ Number of LQH │
│ │ │ Threads Used │
├─────────────────┼────────────┼───────────────┤
│3 │ 2 │ 1 │
├─────────────────┼────────────┼───────────────┤
│5 or 6 │ 4 │ 2 │
├─────────────────┼────────────┼───────────────┤
│7 │ 8 │ 4 │
└─────────────────┴────────────┴───────────────┘
Setting this parameter outside the permitted range of values causes the
management server to abort on startup with the error Error line number:
Illegal value value for parameter MaxNoOfExecutionThreads.
Note
In MySQL Cluster NDB 6.4.0, it is not possible to set
MaxNoOfExecutionThreads to 2. You can safely use the value 3
instead (it is treated as 2 internally). This issue is resolved in
MySQL Cluster NDB 6.4.1.
In MySQL Cluster NDB 6.4.0 through 6.4.3, the default value for this
parameter was undefined, although the default behavior for ndbmtd was
to use 1 LQH thread, as though MaxNoOfExecutionThreads had been set to
2. Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.4, this parameter has an
explcit default value of 2, thus guaranteeing this default behavior.
In MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0, it is not possible to cause ndbmtd to use
more than 1 TC thread, although we plan to introduce this capability in
a future MySQL Cluster release series.
Like ndbd, ndbmtd generates a set of log files which are placed in the
directory specified by DataDir in the config.ini configuration file.
Except for trace files, these are generated in the same way and have
the same names as those generated by ndbd.
In the event of a critical error, ndbmtd generates trace files
describing what happened just prior to the error´ occurrence. These
files, which can be found in the data node´s DataDir, are useful for
analysis of problems by the MySQL Cluster Development and Support
teams. One trace file is generated for each ndbmtd thread. The names of
these files follow the pattern
ndb_node_id_trace.log.trace_id_tthread_id, where node_id is the data
node´s unique node ID in the cluster, trace_id is a trace sequence
number, and thread_id is the thread ID. For example, in the event of
the failure of an ndbmtd process running as a MySQL Cluster data node
having the node ID 3 and with MaxNoOfExecutionThreads equal to 4, four
trace files are generated in the data node´s data directory; if the is
the first time this node has failed, then these files are named
ndb_3_trace.log.1_t1, ndb_3_trace.log.1_t2, ndb_3_trace.log.1_t3, and
ndb_3_trace.log.1_t4. Internally, these trace files follow the same
format as ndbd trace files.
The ndbd exit codes and messages that are generated when a data node
process shuts down prematurely are also used by ndbmtd. See ndbd Error
Messages[3], for a listing of these.
Note
It is possible to use ndbd and ndbmtd concurrently on different
data nodes in the same MySQL Cluster. However, such configurations
have not been tested extensively; thus, we cannot not recommend
doing so in a production setting at this time.
