mysql5.5无法建立分区表_故障案例--mysql5.5分区表的一个坑

故障现象

db每隔一段时间就异常重启，查看DB错误日志的错误日志Database was not shut down normally相关的信息，而查看/var/log/message并没有发现什么异常，没有发生OOM。由于每次异常重启的间隔都比较相近，所以怀疑是业务的某个sql引起的，后来经过业务层排查，发现每隔一段时间都会执行一条如下SQL语句

select sid as sid,source as source,sum(valid) as valid,sum(error) as error from playstats where startTime>="2016-07-08 10:00:00" and endTime<="2016-07-08 12:00:00" group by sid,source；

查看表结构如下

mysql> show create table playstats\G

*************************** 1. row ***************************

Table: playstats

Create Table: CREATE TABLE `playstats` (

`id` int(255) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`year` int(4) NOT NULL,

`month` int(2) NOT NULL,

`day` int(2) NOT NULL,

`startTime` datetime NOT NULL,

`endTime` datetime NOT NULL,

`version` varchar(12) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',

`source` varchar(12) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',

`sid` varchar(12) NOT NULL,

`valid` int(8) NOT NULL,

`error` int(8) NOT NULL,

`total` int(8) NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`startTime`,`version`,`source`,`sid`),

KEY `playstats_index_startTime` (`startTime`),

KEY `playstats_index_endTime` (`endTime`),

KEY `playstats_muti_index` (`year`,`month`,`source`),

KEY `playstats_index_source` (`source`),

KEY `month_index` (`month`),

KEY `year_index` (`year`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1267666446 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

/*!50100 PARTITION BY RANGE (to_days(startTime))

(PARTITION p20160405 VALUES LESS THAN (736425) ENGINE = InnoDB,

PARTITION p20160620 VALUES LESS THAN (736501) ENGINE = InnoDB,

PARTITION p20160706 VALUES LESS THAN (736517) ENGINE = InnoDB) */

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

现象模拟：

mysql> select * from playstats;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select sid as sid,source as source,sum(valid) as valid,sum(error) as error from playstats where startTime>="2016-07-03 10:00:00" and endTime<="2016-07-03 12:00:00" group by sid,source;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select sid as sid,source as source,sum(valid) as valid,sum(error) as error from playstats where startTime>="2016-07-08 10:00:00" and endTime<="2016-07-08 12:00:00" group by sid,source;

ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

原因分析：

mysql> select to_days("2016-07-03 12:00:00");

+--------------------------------+

| to_days("2016-07-03 12:00:00") |

+--------------------------------+

|                         736513 |

+--------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select to_days("2016-07-08 10:00:00");

+--------------------------------+

| to_days("2016-07-08 10:00:00") |

+--------------------------------+

|                         736518 |

+--------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

直接查没问题，时间范围<736517也没问题，应该是大于736517以后没有定义，于是直接db崩溃，属于bug，我在5.1和5.6上没有复现，5.5必现

解决措施

添加一个maxvalue，即将表结构改为

alter table playstats /*!50100 PARTITION BY RANGE (to_days(startTime)) (PARTITION p20160405 VALUES LESS THAN (736425) ENGINE = InnoDB,  PARTITION p20160620 VALUES LESS THAN (736501) ENGINE = InnoDB,  PARTITION p20160706 VALUES LESS THAN maxvalue ENGINE = InnoDB) */;

mysql> select sid as sid,source as source,sum(valid) as valid,sum(error) as error from playstats where startTime>="2016-07-08 10:00:00" and endTime<="2016-07-08 12:00:00" group by sid,source;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

这时再执行上面的sql就不会崩溃了
