    Description

      In investigating a report of an issue with Magento 2.4.2 Enterprise Edition having queries take upwards of 2 minutes to process that used to only take a few milliseconds in MariaDB 10.3, we have discovered a major performance degradation between MariaDB 10.4 and the later releases of MariaDB.

      Looking at the process list for MariaDB, the queries appear to be in statistics state:

      In examining this issue, I have been able to reproduce consistently in a virtual machine with CentOS 7 installed and have tested MariaDB 10.5.16, 10.6.8, 10.7.4, and 10.8.3 to all suffer for this problem. To reproduce you just need a table with the InnoDB engine and some keys, adding more keys seems to cause the performance to worsen.

      create_table.sql

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_table;
      CREATE TABLE test_table (
          `entity_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
          `value` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
          PRIMARY KEY (`entity_id`,`value`),
          KEY `TEST_TABLE_VALUE` (`value`)
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
      

      The test query which reproduces the performance issues is similar to the following, I have attached the test query I am running in my testing as a file as it is large.

      SELECT `sub`.`value`, COUNT(sub.value) AS `count` FROM (SELECT `test`.`entity_id`, `test`.`value` FROM `test_table` AS `test` WHERE test.entity_id IN (...)) AS `sub` GROUP BY `sub`.`value`;
      

      Each test, I have used the following commands to reinstall MariaDB with the version I am testing with:

      cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo
      # MariaDB CentOS repository list
      # http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
      [mariadb]
      name=MariaDB
      baseurl=http://yum.mariadb.org/10.4/centos7-amd64
      gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
      gpgcheck=1
      enabled=1
      EOF
       
      yum clean all
      yum -y remove 'MariaDB-*'
      yum -y remove 'galera-*'
      rm -Rf /var/lib/mysql
      yum -y --enablerepo=mariadb install MariaDB-server
       
      systemctl start mariadb

      In-case it isn't obvious, this is testing on an empty table in an fresh install of MariaDB without customization to the my.cnf. We have tried the following options in multiple states without affect on the issue.

      optimizer_switch=rowid_filter=off
      optimizer_use_condition_selectivity=1
      optimizer_switch=optimize_join_buffer_size=off
      use_stat_tables=NEVER
      optimizer_search_depth=0
