MySQL: 强制查询在 WHERE 子句中使用带有局部变量的索引

MySQL: Forcing query to use indices with local variable in WHERE clause

上下文

我有一个从 table 中选择加权随机条目的应用程序,(权重的)前缀求和是一个关键部分。简化的 table 定义如下所示:

CREATE TABLE entries (
    id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    weight DECIMAL(9, 3),
    fenwick DECIMAL(9, 3)
) ENGINE=MEMORY;

其中 `fenwick` 将值存储在 `weights` 的 Fenwick 树表示中。

让每个条目的 "range" 跨越其前缀和及其前缀和 + 其权重。应用程序必须在 0SUM(weight) 之间生成一个随机数 @r 并找到范围包含 @r 的条目,如下所示:

Fenwick 树与 MEMORY 引擎和二进制搜索相结合,应该允许我在 O(lg^2(n)) 时间内找到合适的条目,而不是 O(n) 时间天真的查询:

SELECT a.id-1 FROM (SELECT *, (@x:=@x+weight) AS counter FROM entries 
    CROSS JOIN (SELECT @x:=0) a
    HAVING counter>@r LIMIT 1) a;

研究

由于多个查询的开销,我一直在尝试将前缀和操作压缩到一个查询中(而不是在脚本语言中看到的多个数组访问)。在此过程中,我意识到传统的求和方法(涉及按降序键顺序访问元素)只会对第一个元素求和。当变量出现在 WHERE 子句中时,我怀疑 MySQL 线性运行通过 tables。这是查询:

SELECT
SUM(1) INTO @garbage
FROM entries 
CROSS JOIN (
    SELECT @sum:=0,
        @n:=@entryid
) a
WHERE id=@n AND @n>0 AND (@n:=@n-(@n&(-@n))) AND (@sum:=@sum+entries.fenwick);
/*SELECT @sum*/

其中 @entryid 是我们正在计算其前缀和的条目的 ID。我确实创建了一个确实有效的查询(以及 returns 整数最左边的函数 lft):

SET @n:=lft(@entryid);
SET @sum:=0;
SELECT
    SUM(1) INTO @garbage
    FROM entries
    WHERE id=@n 
      AND @n<=@entryid 
      AND (@n:=@n+lft(@entryid^@n)) 
      AND (@sum:=@sum+entries.fenwick);
/*SELECT @sum*/

但这只是证实了我对线性搜索的怀疑。 EXPLAIN 查询也是如此:

+------+-------------+---------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+--------+-------------+
| id   | select_type | table   | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref  | rows   | Extra       |

|    1 | SIMPLE      | entries | ALL  | NULL          | NULL | NULL    | NULL | 752544 | Using where |
+------+-------------+---------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+--------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

索引:

SHOW INDEXES FROM entries;
+---------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
| Table   | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | Index_comment |

| entries |          0 | PRIMARY  |            1 | id          | NULL      |       752544 |     NULL | NULL   |      | HASH       |         |               |
+---------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

现在,我看到很多问题询问如何在 WHERE 子句中 消除 变量,以便优化器可以处理查询。但是,我想不出没有 id=@n 这个查询的方法。我考虑过将要求和的条目的键值放入 table 并使用连接,但我相信我会产生不良影响:过多的 table 或线性无论如何,通过对 @entryid 进行评估进行搜索。

问题

有没有任何方法强制MySQL使用这个查询的索引?如果他们提供此功能,我什至会尝试不同的 DBMS。

(因为有格式化选项,所以使用了答案框)。

正如 Rick 所说,引擎是这种情况下的主要问题。您可以通过在索引创建中使用 "USING BTREE" 来影响创建的索引类型(在这种情况下,BTREE 或 HASH 似乎并不重要:您遍历一个范围:然后 BTREE 是最佳的。无论您如何检索它每个值,然后 HASH 是最优的:您的查询具有两种行为)。

当您切换到 INNODB 时,缓存将使查询可能与内存中的查询一样快 table。然后您就可以享受索引的好处。为了保证 BTREE 索引,我将创建如下模式:

CREATE TABLE `entries` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `weight` decimal(9,3) DEFAULT NULL,
  `fenwick` decimal(9,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.000',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_nn_1 ON entries (id,fenwick) USING BTREE;

这在主要计算中使用了 idx_nn_1 索引(而且只有索引:整个 table 根本没有被使用,因为所有数据都在索引中)。然而,100 条记录的样本量太小,无法给出有关性能的任何明确答案。与仅使用 table 访问的数据相比,构建索引所花费的时间可能会让您根本没有任何性能提升。所以最终的答案将在你的测试中。

其他数据库引擎(SQL Server、Oracle、Postgres):它们会表现出类似的行为。因此,切换到这些引擎中的任何一个都不会产生巨大的差异,除非通常是为了更好的处理(无法预测这一点)。

SQL 服务器在构建索引时可能会更好(=更快),因为那样只会在 id 上使用唯一索引并包含 fenwick 值,因此不必真正索引该值。

Oracle 确实可以强制索引,但是不建议这样做:在 Oracle 中,假设 table 中的有序数据,读取 table 比读取索引然后 table 进行查找。同样在这种情况下,您可以只添加 id、fenwick 索引而永远不会访问 table。考虑到索引创建时间,Oracle 无论如何都必须读取完整的 table 一次,并且在那个时候(或更少取决于达到退出条件需要多少记录)它也将执行您的计算.

Fenwick 树是否足够静态以预先计算一些东西?如果是这样,我可以给你一个几乎 O(1) 的解决方案:

  1. 构建 2 列 table (n, cumulative_sum)
  2. 预填充 table: (1, 0.851), (2, 2.574), (3, 2.916), (4, 3.817), ...
  3. 在 FLOAT 上创建索引

然后查找:

SELECT n FROM tbl WHERE cumulative_sum > 3.325
         ORDER BY cumulative_sum LIMIT 1;

如果@variables 有问题,则让存储过程通过CONCATPREPAREEXECUTE.

构造SQL

附录

鉴于它是周期性的总替换,请在重建 table 时计算累计和。我的 SELECT 只查看一行,所以它是 O(1)(忽略 BTree 查找)。

对于"total replacement",我推荐:

CREATE TABLE new LIKE real;
load the data into `new`                -- this is the slowest step
RENAME TABLE real TO old, new TO real;  -- atomic and fast, so no "downtime"
DROP TABLE old;

免责声明

Fenwick 树对我来说是新的,我是在找到这个 post 时才发现它们的。 这里给出的结果是基于我的理解和一些研究, 但我绝不是芬威克树专家,我可能漏掉了一些东西。

问题 1,找到给定条目的权重

鉴于以下 table

CREATE TABLE `entries` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `weight` decimal(9,3) DEFAULT NULL,
  `fenwick` decimal(9,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.000',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=INNODB;

并且给定数据已经填充(参见 concat 提供的 http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/be1f2/1), 如何计算给定条目的重量 @entryid ?

这里要理解的关键概念是,fenwick 指数的结构是基于 mathbitwise operations 对 id重视自己。

查询通常应仅使用主键查找 (WHERE ID = value)。

任何使用排序 (ORDER BY) 或范围 (WHERE (value1 < ID) AND (ID < value2)) 的查询都没有抓住要点,并且没有按预期顺序遍历树。

例如,使用键 60:

SET @entryid := 60;

让我们把值60分解成二进制

mysql> SELECT (@entryid & 0x0080) as b8,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0040) as b7,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0020) as b6,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0010) as b5,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0008) as b4,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0004) as b3,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0002) as b2,
    ->        (@entryid & 0x0001) as b1;
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| b8   | b7   | b6   | b5   | b4   | b3   | b2   | b1   |
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
|    0 |    0 |   32 |   16 |    8 |    4 |    0 |    0 |
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

换句话说,只保留设置的位,我们有

32 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 60

现在,逐一移除最低位以导航树:

32 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 60
32 + 16 + 8 = 56
32 + 16 = 48
32

这给出了访问元素 60 的路径 (32, 48, 56, 60)。

请注意,将 60 转换为 (32, 48, 56, 60) 只需要对 ID 值本身进行位运算:不需要访问 table 或数据库,并且可以完成此计算在发出查询的客户端中。

则60号元素的芬维克权重为

mysql> select sum(fenwick) from entries where id in (32, 48, 56, 60);
+--------------+
| sum(fenwick) |
+--------------+
|       32.434 |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

验证

mysql> select sum(weight) from entries where id <= @entryid;
+-------------+
| sum(weight) |
+-------------+
|      32.434 |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

现在,让我们比较一下这些查询的效率。

mysql> explain select sum(fenwick) from entries where id in (32, 48, 56, 60);
+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table   | partitions | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref  | rows | filtered | Extra       |
+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | entries | NULL       | range | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | NULL |    4 |   100.00 | Using where |
+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+

或者,以不同的方式呈现

explain format=json select sum(fenwick) from entries where id in (32, 48, 56, 60);
{
  "query_block": {
    "select_id": 1,
    "cost_info": {
      "query_cost": "5.61"
    },
    "table": {
      "table_name": "entries",
      "access_type": "range",
      "possible_keys": [
        "PRIMARY"
      ],
      "key": "PRIMARY",
      "used_key_parts": [
        "id"
      ],
      "key_length": "4",
      "rows_examined_per_scan": 4,
      "rows_produced_per_join": 4,
      "filtered": "100.00",
      "cost_info": {
        "read_cost": "4.81",
        "eval_cost": "0.80",
        "prefix_cost": "5.61",
        "data_read_per_join": "64"
      },
      "used_columns": [
        "id",
        "fenwick"
      ],
      "attached_condition": "(`test`.`entries`.`id` in (32,48,56,60))"
    }
  }

因此,优化器通过主键获取了 4 行(IN 子句中有 4 个值)。

不使用芬威克指数时,我们有

mysql> explain select sum(weight) from entries where id <= @entryid;
+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table   | partitions | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref  | rows | filtered | Extra       |
+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | entries | NULL       | range | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | NULL |   60 |   100.00 | Using where |
+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+

或者,以不同的方式呈现

explain format=json select sum(weight) from entries where id <= @entryid;
{
  "query_block": {
    "select_id": 1,
    "cost_info": {
      "query_cost": "25.07"
    },
    "table": {
      "table_name": "entries",
      "access_type": "range",
      "possible_keys": [
        "PRIMARY"
      ],
      "key": "PRIMARY",
      "used_key_parts": [
        "id"
      ],
      "key_length": "4",
      "rows_examined_per_scan": 60,
      "rows_produced_per_join": 60,
      "filtered": "100.00",
      "cost_info": {
        "read_cost": "13.07",
        "eval_cost": "12.00",
        "prefix_cost": "25.07",
        "data_read_per_join": "960"
      },
      "used_columns": [
        "id",
        "weight"
      ],
      "attached_condition": "(`test`.`entries`.`id` <= (@`entryid`))"
    }
  }

此处优化器执行索引扫描,读取 60 行。

在 ID=60 的情况下,fenwick 的好处是 4 次获取与 60 次相比。

现在,考虑一下它是如何缩放的,例如值高达 64K。

使用 fenwick,一个 16 位的值将最多设置 16 位,因此要查找的元素数量最多为 16 个。

如果没有 fenwick,一次扫描最多可以读取 64K 个条目(平均将读取 32K 个)。

问题 2,找到给定权重的条目

OP 问题是找到给定权重的条目。

例如

SET @search_weight := 35.123;

为了说明该算法,post 详细说明了查找是如何完成的(抱歉,如果这太冗长)

SET @found_id := 0;

首先,找出有多少条目。

SET @max_id := (select id from entries order by id desc limit 1);

在测试数据中,max_id为156。

因为128 <= max_id < 256,开始查找的最高位是128。

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 128;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+-----+---------+----------------+---------+
| id  | fenwick | @search_weight | action  |
+-----+---------+----------------+---------+
| 128 |  66.540 |         35.123 | discard |
+-----+---------+----------------+---------+

权重66.540大于我们的搜索,所以128被舍弃,继续下一位。

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 64;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+--------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action |
+----+---------+----------------+--------+
| 64 |  33.950 |         35.123 | keep   |
+----+---------+----------------+--------+

这里需要保留这一位(64),统计找到的权重:

set @found_id := @search_id, @search_weight := @search_weight - 33.950;

然后继续下一段:

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 32;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action  |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| 96 |  16.260 |          1.173 | discard |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 16;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action  |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| 80 |   7.394 |          1.173 | discard |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 8;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action  |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| 72 |   3.995 |          1.173 | discard |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 4;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action  |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+
| 68 |   1.915 |          1.173 | discard |
+----+---------+----------------+---------+

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 2;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+--------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action |
+----+---------+----------------+--------+
| 66 |   1.146 |          1.173 | keep   |
+----+---------+----------------+--------+

我们在这里又发现了一点

set @found_id := @search_id, @search_weight := @search_weight - 1.146;

mysql> set @search_id := @found_id + 1;
mysql> select id, fenwick, @search_weight,
    ->    if (fenwick <= @search_weight, "keep", "discard") as action
    ->    from entries where id = @search_id;
+----+---------+----------------+--------+
| id | fenwick | @search_weight | action |
+----+---------+----------------+--------+
| 67 |   0.010 |          0.027 | keep   |
+----+---------+----------------+--------+

还有一个

set @found_id := @search_id, @search_weight := @search_weight - 0.010;

最终搜索结果为:

mysql> select @found_id, @search_weight;
+-----------+----------------+
| @found_id | @search_weight |
+-----------+----------------+
|        67 |          0.017 |
+-----------+----------------+

验证

mysql> select sum(weight) from entries where id <= 67;        
+-------------+                                               
| sum(weight) |                                               
+-------------+                                               
|      35.106 |                                               
+-------------+                                               

mysql> select sum(weight) from entries where id <= 68;
+-------------+
| sum(weight) |
+-------------+
|      35.865 |
+-------------+

确实,

35.106 (fenwick[67]) <= 35.123 (search) <= 35.865 (fenwick[68])

查找查找值一次解析1位,每个查找结果决定下一个要查找的ID的值。

这里给出的查询是为了说明。在实际应用程序中,代码应该只是一个包含以下内容的循环:

SELECT fenwick from entries where id = ?;

使用应用程序代码(或存储过程)实现与@found_id、@search_id 和@search_weight.

相关的逻辑

一般评论

  • Fenwick 树用于前缀计算。如果要解决的问题首先涉及前缀,那么使用这些树才有意义。维基百科有一些应用指南。不幸的是,OP 没有描述 fenwick 树的用途。
  • Fenwick 树是查找复杂性和更新复杂性之间的折衷,因此它们只对非静态数据有意义。对于静态数据,计算一次完整前缀会更高效。
  • 执行的测试使用了 INNODB table,其主键索引已排序,因此计算 max_id 是一个简单的 O(1) 操作。如果 max_id 已经在其他地方可用,我认为即使在 ID 上使用带有 HASH 索引的 MEMORY table 也可以,因为只使用主键查找。

现在有了完整的 sqlfiddle:

补充一下 Marc 的回答,对于存储过程或函数,要求和的索引列表不能直接通过函数参数传递,我们可以在查询中生成索引,JOIN 求和查询:

SELECT SUM(fenwick) FROM entries 
    CROSS JOIN (SELECT @n:=60) a 
    INNER JOIN (
          SELECT @n AS id, 0 
          UNION 
          SELECT 
              IF(@n&@bit<>0, @n:=@n-(@n&@bit), NULL) AS id,
              (@bit:=@bit<<1) 
          FROM entries 
          CROSS JOIN (SELECT @bit:=1) a 
          LIMIT 32
    ) dt ON dt.id=entries.id;

我希望性能差不多,不再需要客户端生成索引。
