Hi,
I recently converted all my MyIsam tables, which were all running perfectly fine, to InnoDB because of the larger volume of data I was getting. Usually all the queries never take longer than 1-2 seconds and most of them take a small fraction of a second. After updating to InnoDB, everything is running fine and quite fast actually, but consistently if I leave the server on for about 5 hrs, everything goes slower and slower until the point where queries are taking over a couple thousand seconds finish. Through all this, the load remains low as well as the memory usage and nothing gets swapped.
From what I've read, the only suggestion I found to increase performance is to use clustered indexes which I tried doing by adding a primary index (lon, lat, id), but it still slows down eventually. My main tables are users and messages where I need to search through over 500k users by mainly radius, using lat and lon, birthday, as well as a few other fields such as gender. I also join this table by userid a lot and query the user by their id. Strangely, my messages table has about 9M rows and it doesn't seem to get as many slow queries, possibly because I never have to return more than a couple thousand rows.
My server has 24 processors and 48GB of ram, so it's quite fast. The load is only at about 1 when I'm getting this problem. I've listed my config below.
If you have any suggestions to improve performance I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
