    Note

    This parameter is available starting with V4.2.0.

    Description

    storage_meta_cache_priority specifies the priority of the storage Meta Cache in the kvcache.

    Privilege requirements

    • Query the parameter

      The sys tenant and all user tenants can query this parameter by using the SHOW PARAMETERS statement or the GV$OB_PARAMETERS view.

    • Modify the parameter

      Only the sys tenant can modify this parameter. User tenants cannot modify this parameter.

    Attributes

    Attribute Description
    Type Int
    Default value 10
    Value range [1,+∞)
    Modifiable Yes. You can use the ALTER SYSTEM SET statement to modify the parameter.
    Effective upon OBServer node restart No. The setting takes effect immediately.

    Considerations

    OceanBase Database abstracts metadata such as Table Store and SSTable into storage Meta and manages it in the kvcache. When the Meta Cache is not frequently accessed or frequently misses, you can change its priority based on the workload characteristics to improve the utilization of limited kvcache memory resources and make them more flexible.

    In the kvcache, the higher the priority value, the higher the priority, and the less likely the cache is to be evicted. The following table lists the priority parameters for different 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 value of the storage Meta Cache priority is the same as that of index_block_cache_priority, which is the second highest after tablet_ls_cache_priority.

    Examples

    Set the priority of the storage Meta Cache in the kvcache to 10.

    obclient> ALTER SYSTEM SET storage_meta_cache_priority='10';
