记得在某个6的版本发布宣传里面看到，新版本建索引速度提升了10倍，一直没抽时间亲自测试验证下，前段时间V7.1发布，趁着这次机会，把我的一个V6.1.0的环境做下升级，顺便测试了下各版本创建索引速度对比下。

不测不知道，一测吓一跳，满满的惊喜。一个3kw的表新索引速度从v6.1.0的21min，到v7.1.0只要1min8s。提升了20倍！

以下来自官方文档相关版本关于索引加速功能的Release Notes：

TiDB v6.3.0 支持开启添加索引加速功能，提升了创建索引回填过程的速度。开启该功能后，TiDB 添加索引的性能提升约为原来的 3 倍。 从 v6.5.0 起，添加索引加速功能默认开启。

1、环境说明

环境信息

单节点TiDB环境，物理机。配置：40c512G，7T SSD TiDB初始版本：v6.1.0，逐步升级到v6.5.0和v7.1.0

表信息：3kw

直接使用的tpcc里面的customer表，3000w，大小约18G

[root@127.0.0.1][tpcc][05:17:48]> show create table customer\G

2、v6.1.0测试3kw的表加索引

测试加3个不同类型列的索引

分别测试三个索引，一个是varchar列、一个是char列，一个组合索引

alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_01(c_city);
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_02(c_phone);
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_03(c_phone,c_since);

修改tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt，观察建索引的速度。

经测试，时间差不多，后面就主要以组合索引idx_03为主来做对比。

--默认4时[root@127.0.0.1][tpcc][05:25:40]> alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_01(c_city);

加索引时间

--平均每秒6000行，4个worker
select 30000000/(6000*4)/60;
--平均每秒1600行，32个worker
select 30000000/(1600*32)/60;

tidb日志中可以看到：当tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=4时，创建索引的读取数据的速度。单线程每秒5k-7k行左右。 当tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=32时，创建索引的读取数据的速度。单线程每秒只有1600行左右。

3、v6.5.0测试3kw的表加索引

确认TiDB版本和表信息

[root@127.0.0.1][tpcc][09:14:33]> select version();
+--------------------+
| version()          |
+--------------------+
| 5.7.25-TiDB-v6.5.0 |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)[root@127.0.0.1][tpcc][09:14:47]> select count(0) from tpcc.customer;
+----------+
| count(0) |
+----------+
| 30000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)

测试加索引速度

alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_01(c_city);
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_02(c_phone);
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_03(c_phone,c_since);

默认：tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=4

[root@127.0.0.1][tpcc][09:19:36]> show variables like 'tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt';
+---------------------------+-------+

Query OK, 0 rows affected (1 min 16.22 sec)

分别测试tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=8、16、32

set global tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=8;
alter table tpcc.customer drop index idx_03;
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_03(c_phone,c_since);set global tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=16;
alter table tpcc.customer drop index idx_03;
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_03(c_phone,c_since);set global tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=32;
alter table tpcc.customer drop index idx_03;
alter table tpcc.customer add index idx_03(c_phone,c_since);

相关参数：

tidb_ddl_enable_fast_reorg
tidb_ddl_disk_quota

https://docs.pingcap.com/zh/tidb/stable/system-variables#tidb_ddl_enable_fast_reorg-span-classversion-mark%E4%BB%8E-v630-%E7%89%88%E6%9C%AC%E5%BC%80%E5%A7%8B%E5%BC%95%E5%85%A5span

在升级到 v6.5.0 及以上版本时，建议你检查 TiDB 的 temp-dir 路径是否正确挂载了 SSD 磁盘。该参数是 TiDB 的配置参数，设置后需要重启 TiDB 才能生效。因此，在升级前提前进行设置，可以避免再次重启。

使用快速索引功能，建索引的时候，数据会回填到temp-dir指定目录，过程中可以看到该目录空间在持续增长。

5、小结

版本	表数据量	tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=4（默认）	tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=8	tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=16	tidb_ddl_reorg_worker_cnt=32
v6.1.0	3000w	21min	10min44s	9min6s	8min35s
v6.5.0	3000w	1min19s	53s	43s	38s
v7.1.0	3000w	1min8s	44s	36s	31s

从上面的数据我们可以看到，在V6.5.0版本中，默认4个worker下，建索引速度对比v6.1.0提升了约20倍，随着worker个数增加速度会进一步提升，但是越到后面提升越少，可能跟数据量有关系哈，测试结果仅供参考。

V7.1.0，相比V6.5.0也有一定提升，在worker为8和16的情况下，大约提升了16%（(53-44)/53=0.1698，(43-36)/43=0.1628）。

另外，在V7.1.0下，测试了不同tidb_ddl_reorg_batch_size下的影响，也是会有一定提升。

版本	表数据量	tidb_ddl_reorg_batch_size=512（默认）	tidb_ddl_reorg_batch_size=1024	tidb_ddl_reorg_batch_size=2048
v7.1.0	3000w	1min5s	58s	56s

以上就是在同一台机器上测试不同TiDB版本建索引速度的对比。V6.3开始新增的索引加速功能确实提升非常大，还在用老版本的同学，快升级测试下吧。
