Spider System Variables

The following variables are available when the Spider storage engine has been installed.

See Server System Variables for a complete list of system variables and instructions on setting them.

See also the Full list of MariaDB options, system and status variables.

MariaDB starting with 10.5.22

Starting from MariaDB 10.5.22, MariaDB 10.6.15, MariaDB 10.9.8, MariaDB 10.10.6, MariaDB 10.11.5, MariaDB 11.0.3, all spider system variables with the value -1 for deferring to table parameter values follow the correct overriding mechanism: table parameter (if set) overrides system variables (if not -1) overrides actual variable default. As a side effect, all such system variables in all versions have the same default value as the table param default value. Before this change, a non-minus-one system variable value would override the table parameter value. That is, if both the system variable value and the table parameter value were set to be non-minus-one, the system variable value would prevail. For MariaDB 10.7+ where the system variable default values were the same as table param default instead of -1, this means that if the system variable were not set, but a table param is set to a non-default value, the default would override the non-default value.

spider_auto_increment_mode

• Description: The auto increment mode.

  • -1 Falls back to the default value, if the table parameter is not set.

  • 0 Normal Mode. Uses a counter that Spider gets from the remote backend server with an exclusive lock for the auto-increment value. This mode is slow. Use Quick Mode (2), if you use Spider tables with the table partitioning feature and the auto-increment column is the first column of the index.

  • 1 Quick Mode. Uses an internal Spider counter for the auto-increment value. This mode is fast, but it is possible for duplicates to occur when updating the same table from multiple Spider proxies.

  • 2 Set Zero Mode. The auto-increment value is given by the remote backend. Sets the column to 0, even if you set the value to the auto-increment column in your statement. If you use the table with the table partitioning feature, it sets to zero after choosing an inserted partition.

  • 3 When the auto-increment column is set to NULL, the value is given by the remote backend server. If you set the auto-increment column to 0,the value is given by the local server. Set spider_reset_auto_increment to 2 or 3 if you want to use an auto-increment column on the remote server.

• Scope: Global, Session

• Dynamic: Yes

• Data Type: numeric

• Default Session Value: 0

• Default Table Value: 0

• Range: -1 to 3

• DSN Parameter Name: aim

spider_bgs_first_read

• Description: Number of first read records to use when performing a concurrent background search. To start a range scan on the remote backend, the storage engine first needs to send the first record. Fetching a second record in the same query can save a network round trip stopping the plan if the backend has a single record. The first and second reads are used to warm up for background search. When not using spider_split_read and spider_semi_split_read, the third read fetches the remaining data source in a single fetch.

  • -1 Falls back to the default value, if the table parameter is not set.

  • 0 Records are usually retrieved.

  • 1 and greater: Number of records.

• Scope: Global, Session

• Dynamic: Yes

• Data Type: numeric

spider_bgs_mode

• Description: Background search mode. This enables the use of a thread per data server connection if the query is not shard-based and must be distributed across shards. The partitioning plugin scans partitions one after the other to optimize memory usage. Because the shards are external, reading all shards can be performed in parallel when the plan prunes multiple partitions.

  • -1 Falls back to the default value, if the table parameter is not set.

  • 0 Disables background search.

  • 1 Uses background search when searching without locks

  • 2 Uses background search when searching without locks or with shared locks.

  • 3 Uses background search regardless of locks.

• Dynamic: Yes

• Data Type: numeric

• DSN Parameter Name: bmd

spider_bgs_second_read

  • 0 Records are usually retrieved.

  • 1 and greater: Number of records.
