25.39.6 The INFORMATION_SCHEMA INNODB_CMPMEM and INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET Tables

The INNODB_CMPMEM and INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET tables provide status information on compressed pages within the InnoDB buffer pool.

The INNODB_CMPMEM and INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET tables have these columns:

PAGE_SIZE
The block size in bytes. Each record of this table describes blocks of this size.
BUFFER_POOL_INSTANCE
A unique identifier for the buffer pool instance.
PAGES_USED
The number of blocks of size PAGE_SIZE that are currently in use.
PAGES_FREE
The number of blocks of size PAGE_SIZE that are currently available for allocation. This column shows the external fragmentation in the memory pool. Ideally, these numbers should be at most 1.
RELOCATION_OPS
The number of times a block of size PAGE_SIZE has been relocated. The buddy system can relocate the allocated “buddy neighbor” of a freed block when it tries to form a bigger freed block. Reading from the INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET table resets this count.
RELOCATION_TIME
The total time in microseconds used for relocating blocks of size PAGE_SIZE. Reading from the table INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET resets this count.
