Our code does
insert into user (email, name) values ((),()) // 1000 rows at a time, without specifying primary key value
Such inserts run in parallel on multiple server and with high concurrency (sometimes even at 2 parallel) many of them fails due to lock wait timeout. Show innodb status shows below

We are on mysql 8.0.13, innodb_autoinc_lock_mode is set to engine default (2 interleaved) which is most relaxed mode. We do not use MySQL level LOCK TABLE in code, so we are confused why is innodb locking full user table in IX mode? The table looks like below
CREATE TABLE user (
`user_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`account_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`email` CHAR(64) NOT NULL,
`first_name` VARCHAR(63) NOT NULL,
`manager_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`),
INDEX `usertbl_account_id_fk_idx` (`account_id` ASC),
INDEX `usertbl_user_id_account_id_idx` (`user_id` ASC, `account_id` ASC, `first_name` ASC) COMMENT 'To server as a FK into other tables.',
UNIQUE INDEX `usertbl_email_account_id_unique_idx` (`email` ASC, `account_id` ASC)
CONSTRAINT `usertbl_account_id_fk`
FOREIGN KEY (`account_id`)
REFERENCES `account` (`account_id`)
ON DELETE CASCADE
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT `usertbl_manager_id_fk_idx`
FOREIGN KEY (`manager_id` , `account_id`)
REFERENCES `user` (`user_id` , `account_id`)
ON DELETE RESTRICT
ON UPDATE CASCADE)
ENGINE = InnoDB;
usertbl_user_id_account_id_idx is needed because few tables have a Foreign Key into user table as shown below
CREATE TABLE `course_author` (
`course_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`author_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`account_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`first_name` VARCHAR(63) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`course_id`, `author_id`),
INDEX `catbl_author_id_fk_idx` (`author_id` ASC, `account_id` ASC) COMMENT 'For searching courses of an author' ,
CONSTRAINT `catbl_author_fk`
FOREIGN KEY (`author_id` , `account_id`, `first_name`)
REFERENCES `user` (`user_id` , `account_id`, `first_name`)
ON DELETE CASCADE
ON UPDATE CASCADE)
ENGINE = InnoDB;
I assume you're asking about these:
TABLE LOCK table `user` trx id 1952681605 lock mode IX
TABLE LOCK table `account` trx id 1952681605 lock mode IS
The IX and IS locks are table locks that block other table locks, like those from ALTER TABLE or DROP TABLE or CREATE TRIGGER or such. These are called metadata locks.
Any SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE against a table acquires a metadata lock, so no other session tries to ALTER or DROP the table while you're querying it. But these metadata locks don't block each other; multiple sessions can still do concurrent non-DDL queries against the same table without necessarily interfering with each other, unless they conflict on the same rows.
The reason your INSERT to user
causes an IS metadata lock on account
is that there's a foreign key reference from user
to account
. You're inserting a row that references the account
table via the foreign key, therefore the account
table must not be altered or dropped until your transaction is done.
It is almost never useful to start a secondary index with the PRIMARY KEY
; DROP INDEX usertbl_user_id_account_id_idx
. Note: A PRIMARY KEY
is an index.
You say 'To server as a FK into other tables.' -- Let's see the other table(s).
