Preface
Last night one buddy in tech wechat group asked "what's intention locks of InnoDB?"Thus,I'm gonna say someting about it.As we all know,there're various types of lock in InnoDB engine such as record locks,gap locks,next key locks and so forth.Intention locks is another kind of granularity of lock of InnoDB.
Introduce
1. Intention Locks
Intention locks of InnoDB are table-level locks.It's generated to indicate which type of lock relevant to a certain row in which the transaction will involve(shared or exclusive lock).It seems like that one guy is booking a ticket of the train to somewhere while the ticket system broadcasts there's a guy mean to ocuppy a seat of certain compartment in the train.But it does not block the action of booking ticket on the same train from another guy at the same time(another intention lock).That is,intention locks does not block each other at all only if you are modify the same row(booking the same seat).It's the effect of exclusive lock instead of intention lock.
There're two kinds of intention locks in InnoDB:
- Intention shared lock(IS): It indicates that a transaction is setting(or going to set) a shared lock on several rows for shared query operations.
- Intention exclusive lock(IX): It indicates that a transaction is setting(or going to set) a exclusive lock on several rows for exclusive modification operations.
Notice,any transaction who want to get row-level lock(shared or exclusive lock) on a record in a table must get the intention locks first.Generally speaking,S row-level lock is versus IS while X row-level lock is versus IX.There conflict relationship shows below.
X |
IX |
S |
IS |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
X |
Conflict | Conflict | Conflict | Conflict |
IX |
Conflict | Compatible | Conflict | Compatible |
S |
Conflict | Conflict | Compatible | Compatible |
IS |
Conflict | Compatible | Compatible | Compatible |
What we can see is that intention locks does not conflict themselves and always be compatible.In most scenarios,Intention locks do not block other transactions except for operation like "lock table ... writ;".The purpose of intention locks is to tell Innodb that someone is gonna add a lock on those relevant rows(for later reading or modifying) in a target table.
2. Insert Intention Locks
Now we've known clearly about intention locks,but what's the insert intention locks?Are the intention locks relevant with insert operations?Almost,it actually related to gap lock generated by insert operation.It indicates that transactions of insert do not need to wait for each other if they are not inserting at same position within the gap when they later get the exclusive locks on those inserted rows .
Examples
1. Intention locks test in the same session with "innodb_status_output_locks=off".

Summary
- intention locks are table-level locks created by InnoDB automatically when we have intentions to modify a certain record(or some of relevant records) in these tables.
- The main effect of intention locks is to make InnoDB be more compatible in multidimensional lock granularity(both table-level and row-level locks).
- It can simplify the mechanism in checking record locks of a certain table.For exmple,MySQL don't need to retrieve the full table when a client(or session) is modifying(or going to modify) records in that table.
- The variables "innodb_status_output_locks" should be set "on",if we want to see them in the output of "show engine innodb status" statement.
- Insert intention locks is similar with intention locks but it's merely relevant with those insert operations.
