python - 为什么 60GB 内存在 MySQL 连接器 fetchall() 上消失？

Question

MySQL 5.7.18
Python 2.7.5
Pandas 0.17.1
CentOS 7.3

MySQL 表:

CREATE TABLE test (
  id varchar(12)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

大小为10GB。

select round(((data_length) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024)) "GB"
from information_schema.tables 
where table_name = "test"

10GB

盒子有250GB内存:

$ free -hm
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           251G         15G        214G        2.3G         21G        232G
Swap:          2.0G        1.2G        839M

选择数据:

import psutil
print '1 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

import os
import sys
import time
import pyodbc 
import mysql.connector
import pandas as pd
from datetime import date
import gc
print '2 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

db = mysql.connector.connect({snip})
c = db.cursor()
print '3 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

c.execute("select id from test")
print '4 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

e=c.fetchall()
print 'getsizeof: ' + str(sys.getsizeof(e))
print '5 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

d=pd.DataFrame(e)
print d.info()
print '6 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

c.close()
print '7 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

db.close()
print '8 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

del c, db, e
print '9 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

gc.collect()
print '10 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

time.sleep(60)
print '11 ' + str(psutil.phymem_usage())

输出:

我什至删除了数据库连接并调用了垃圾回收。

一个 10GB 的表怎么会用掉我的 60GB 内存？

Answer 1

简短的回答:Python 数据结构内存开销。

您的表约有 231M 行，占用约 10GB，因此每行大约有 4 个字节。

fetchall 将其转换为如下所示的元组列表:

[('abcd',), ('1234',), ... ]

您的列表有约 231M 元素并使用约 19GB 内存:平均每个元组使用 8.48 字节。

$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys

元组:

>>> a = ('abcd',)
>>> sys.getsizeof(a)
64

一个元组的列表:

>>> al = [('abcd',)]
>>> sys.getsizeof(al)
80

两个元组的列表:

>>> al2 = [('abcd',), ('1234',)]
>>> sys.getsizeof(al2)
88

包含 10 个元组的列表:

>>> al10 = [ ('abcd',) for x in range(10)]
>>> sys.getsizeof(al10)
200

包含 1M 元组的列表:

>>> a_realy_long = [ ('abcd',) for x in range(1000000)]
>>> sys.getsizeof(a_realy_long )
8697472

几乎是我们的数字:列表中每个元组 8.6 字节。

不幸的是，您在这里无能为力:mysql.connector 选择数据结构和 dict cursor会使用更多内存。

如果您需要减少内存使用量，则必须使用 fetchmany具有合适的尺寸参数。
