    Description

      I'm testing MaxScale for caching selects from mysql server. I've created simple application that periodically reads data from a huge test table with 2M rows and 512MB size using query

      SELECT /*TestCache*/ db_load_test.* FROM db_load_test
      

      The application directly connected to mysql server reads the entire table in 4 seconds.
      The application connected to MaxScale server reads the same data in 5-7 seconds.
      I configured caching as follows:

      [TestCache]
      type=filter
      module=cache
      soft_ttl=240
      hard_ttl=240
      selects=assume_cacheable
      rules=/etc/maxscale.cnf.d/TestCache.json
      debug=31
      [TestService]
      filters=TestCache
      

      TestCache.json:

      {
          "store": [
              {
                  "attribute": "query",
                  "op": "like",
                  "value": "/\\*TestCache\\*/"
              }
          ]
      }
      

      The application reads data from the cache pretty quickly: 1-2 seconds. But invalidating cache leads to very slow read from mysql backend server: about 2 minutes! It is actually performing read operation as I see this query in mysql process list.

              "value": "/\\*TestCache\\*/"
            }
          ]
        },

          "lru": {

          }
        }
