Performance degratation in temporal literals in 10.4

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Queries like these demonstrate performance degatation in 10.4 over 10.3:

      SELECT temporal_literal FROM t1;
      SELECT temporal_literal + 1 FROM t1;
      SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE temporal_column = temporal_literal;
      SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE temporal_column = string_literal;
      

      Also, 10.4 is slower than MySQL-8.0 (tested againts MySQL-8.0.21).

      The problem happens because of excessive Time(), Date(), Datetime() instantiation in value methods.
      For example:

      Item_date_literal
      {
        ..
        longlong val_int() { return Date(this).to_longlong(); }
        double val_real() { return Date(this).to_double(); }
        String *val_str(String *to) { return Date(this).to_string(to); }
        my_decimal *val_decimal(my_decimal *to) { return Date(this).to_decimal(to); }
      };
      

      Notice, the Date() instance is created in every value method call.
      This involves copying from MYSQL_TIME in Item_temporal_literal::cached_time to MYSQL_TIME inside Date().

      Changing the universal member Item_temporal_literal::cached_time to data type specific members and using them directly solve the problem:

      class Item_date_literal
      {
        Date cached_time;
      public:
        longlong val_int() { ... return cached_time.to_longlong(); }
        double val_real() { ... return cached_time.to_double(); }
        String *val_str(String *to) { ... return cached_time.to_string(to); }
        my_decimal *val_decimal(my_decimal *to) { ...return cached_time.to_decimal(to); }
      };
      

      Notice, there is no copying any more.

      Also, this change makes futher separations of Date, Time, Datetime from each other, which will make it possible not to derive them from MYSQL_TIME, which is too heavy (40 bytes), and replace them to smaller data type specific containers.

      Benchmarks

      The numbers below are query time in seconds: the smaller - the better.

      Tested against the following RelWithDebInfo binaries:
