  1. About the meaning of locks rec but not gap waitingin TRANSACTION(1), which one is correct?

    • Already granted gap lock, waiting for clustered index X lock?
    • Already granted clustered index X lock, waiting for gap lock?
  2. There are 31 rows in Transaction(1). What is the meaning of those rows? Does this represent a gap lock?

Question 1: InnoDB is trying to get an exclusive lock on the row (it's actually a lock on the clustered index record, the PK), but not the surrounding gap (a gap lock). You can read more about record and gap locks here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-locking.html#innodb-record-locks

The exclusive lock request is coming from the "for update" clause added to the SELECT statement. Keep in mind that when using the repeatable-read isolation level (select @@session.tx_isolation), which is the default, the exclusive lock will be placed on every row examined for the SELECT, not just those that are returned (those that match all the predicates in the WHERE clause). So you may be able to reduce the number of rows examined, and thus the locks held which will greatly reduce the chances of conflicts, by using a composite index on: processing, delivered, failed, deliver_after

I don't know what the cardinality (number of unique values) is for those columns, but you should generally list them in the composite index from highest cardinality to lowest.

 

Question 2: 31 is the number of fields in the index record (or row, logically) that it's trying/waiting to get an exclusive lock on. InnoDB uses a clustered PK, so the records in the clustered index (the PK) contain the fields for each user defined column--29 fields in the case of your push_notifications table: id ... category--and there are always two additional internal fields for each InnoDB table: a 6-byte transaction ID field and a 7-byte roll pointer field (these are used for MVCC). So the 31 items you see listed are the fields contained within the index record (or the row, logically) that we're waiting for the lock on.

 

Just FYI: You can get further breakdowns of InnoDB locks using new Information_Schema tables in 5.6+: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-information-schema-transactions.html

There's also some great reports in the new SYS schema, which is included with the server in MySQL 5.7+ (hasn't quite made its way into the online manual yet though): https://github.com/MarkLeith/mysql-sys#innodb_lock_waits--xinnodb_lock_waits

You can install the latest SYS schema in MySQL 5.6 manually, if it's of interest: https://github.com/MarkLeith/mysql-sys/blob/master/sys_56.sql

For more info on it: http://www.slideshare.net/Leithal/performance-schema-and-sys-schema-in-mysql-57

 

I hope this helps!
