    storage_meta_cache_priority

    storage_meta_cache_priority specifies the priority of the storage meta cache in KVCache.

    Note

    This parameter is introduced since OceanBase Database V4.2.0.

    Attribute Description
    Type Integer
    Default value 10
    Value range [1, +∞)
    Effective upon OBServer node restart No

    OceanBase Database stores the metadata of Table Store and SSTables as storage meta in the KVCache memory for unified management. If the usage of the storage meta cache is not high or the storage meta cache is frequently missed, you can change its priority based on the characteristics of the load, so that the use of limited KVCache memory resources can be more efficient and flexible.

    In KVCache, a larger priority value of a cache indicates a higher priority, and the cache is less likely to be evicted from the memory. OceanBase Database supports the following priority parameters of cache types:

    • tablet_ls_cache_priority: The default value is 1000, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    • opt_tab_stat_cache_priority: The default value is 1, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    • index_block_cache_priority: The default value is 10, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    • user_block_cache_priority: The default value is 1, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    • user_row_cache_priority: The default value is 1, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    • bf_cache_priority: The default value is 1, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    • fuse_row_cache_priority: The default value is 1, and the value range is [1, +∞).

    Note that the default priority of the storage meta cache is the same as that of the index_block_cache_priority parameter, second only to the tablet_ls_cache_priority parameter.

    Example

    ALTER SYSTEM SET set storage_meta_cache_priority='10';
