innodb_defragment=ON trumps innodb_optimize_fulltext_only=ON in OPTIMIZE TABLE

    Description

      When using inplace defragmentation from Facebook/Kakao defragmentation patch the tables are not causing errors due to the locks. But we do have a so called 'suggestions' table previously used as full text index purposes. This table has a lot of records exchanged every night. When we use inplace defragmentation with OPTIMIZE TABLE, or OPTIMIZE LOCAL TABLE it works fast and fine, but the search gets slower and slower.

      DESCRIBE suggestions;

      Field Type Null Key Default Extra
      id int(11) NO PRI NULL auto_increment
      record_type varchar(30) YES MUL NULL  
      record_id int(11) YES MUL NULL  
      tokens text YES MUL NULL  
      ts datetime NO MUL 0000-00-00 00:00:00  

      show indexes in suggestions;

      suggestions 0 index_suggestions_on_record_type_and_record_id 2 record_id A 233197 NULL NULL YES BTREE

      • Rails: Suggestion.rebuild (deletes all records, add new records just for simplyfing things cca 250k records deleted and recreated)
        SELECT * FROM `suggestions` WHERE (MATCH(suggestions.tokens) AGAINST ('foobar' IN BOOLEAN MODE)) LIMIT 15 OFFSET 0;
        Empty set (0.11 sec) <---------------------

      But!!!

      ALTER TABLE suggestions engine=InnoDB;
      uses tmp table to resort
      Query OK, 248078 rows affected (10.53 sec)
      Records: 248078 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
      SELECT * FROM `suggestions` WHERE (MATCH(suggestions.tokens) AGAINST ('foobar' IN BOOLEAN MODE)) LIMIT 15 OFFSET 0;
      Empty set (0.00 sec) <---------------------

      Why OPTIMIZE TABLE does not end with the same performace as ALTER TABLE syntax? What should be performed to make the performace the same? It is brilliant to do defrag inplace, but the performace is the same as not doing it at all.
