Java mysqldump slowing down the process?

Hi All,

I have a data calculation process-a perl script running each and every hour which will do some calculations on the data stored in a mysql server. Normally it tooks around 2minutes (max) to complete.

But in case if i did any actions on the linux box where the database is hosted, it is slowing down the process so as to finish the job in 30-50 minutes. I am just doing a mysqldump in the early hours of morning which is slowing down the very next process run. The process run is starting slowly but picking up it's speed and will finish up in it's own fashion, but overall 30-50 minutes it will consume.

I tried to do some optimization on the db server, moved the db server to a different box apart from where the perl script is running ie, loadserver but no change. I also noticed the io% consumed while the job is running and it is too high initially when the process start, then slows down gradually.

Here goes the version information:

Code:
MySQL:
        version    :   5.0.51a-24
        version_comment   :  (Debian)
        version_compile_machine :  i486
        version_compile_os  : debian-linux-gnu

Kernel version: 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP
Operating System: Debian 5.0 (lenny)

Can anyone face the similar scenario? Any ideas on this? Your help is very much appreciated!

With Regards
Dileep Pattayath

MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_IS_SELECT(3)						 1					     MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_IS_SELECT(3)

mysqlnd_ms_query_is_select - Find whether to send the query to the master, the slave or the last used MySQL server

SYNOPSIS
int mysqlnd_ms_query_is_select (string $query) DESCRIPTION
Finds whether to send the query to the master, the slave or the last used MySQL server. The plugins built-in read/write split mechanism will be used to analyze the query string to make a recommendation where to send the query. The built-in read/write split mechanism is very basic and simple. The plugin will recommend sending all queries to the MySQL replication master server but those which begin with SELECT, or begin with a SQL hint which enforces sending the query to a slave server. Due to the basic but fast algorithm the plugin may propose to run some read-only statements such as SHOW TABLES on the replication master. PARAMETERS
o $query - Query string to test. RETURN VALUES
A return value of MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_MASTER indicates that the query should be send to the MySQL replication master server. The function returns a value of MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_SLAVE if the query can be run on a slave because it is considered read-only. A value of MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_LAST_USED is returned to recommend running the query on the last used server. This can either be a MySQL replication master server or a MySQL replication slave server. If read write splitting has been disabled by setting mysqlnd_ms.disable_rw_split, the function will always return MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_MASTER or MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_LAST_USED. EXAMPLES
Example #1 mysqlnd_ms_query_is_select(3) example <?php function is_select($query) { switch (mysqlnd_ms_query_is_select($query)) { case MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_MASTER: printf("'%s' should be run on the master. ", $query); break; case MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_SLAVE: printf("'%s' should be run on a slave. ", $query); break; case MYSQLND_MS_QUERY_USE_LAST_USED: printf("'%s' should be run on the server that has run the previous query ", $query); break; default: printf("No suggestion where to run the '%s', fallback to master recommended ", $query); break; } } is_select("INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES (1)"); is_select("SELECT 1 FROM DUAL"); is_select("/*" . MYSQLND_MS_LAST_USED_SWITCH . "*/SELECT 2 FROM DUAL"); ?> The above example will output: INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES (1) should be run on the master. SELECT 1 FROM DUAL should be run on a slave. /*ms=last_used*/SELECT 2 FROM DUAL should be run on the server that has run the previous query SEE ALSO
