概述
今天主要介绍下mysql一个崩溃恢复很重要的特性--double write.
The doublewrite buffer is a storage area located in the system tablespace where InnoDB writes pages that are flushed from the InnoDB buffer pool, before the pages are written to their proper positions in the data file. Only after flushing and writing pages to the doublewrite buffer, does InnoDB write pages to their proper positions. If there is an operating system, storage subsystem, or mysqld process crash in the middle of a page write, InnoDB can later find a good copy of the page from the doublewrite buffer during crash recovery.
一、partial page write 问题
InnoDB 的Page Size一般是16KB,其数据校验也是针对这16KB来计算的,将数据写入到磁盘是以Page为单位进行操作的。而计算机硬件和操作系统,在极端情况下(比如断电)往往并不能保证这一操作的原子性,16K的数据,写入4K 时,发生了系统断电/os crash ,只有一部分写是成功的,这种情况下就是 partial page write 问题。
