Understanding how MySQL handles connections and Troubleshooting MySQL error 1040 – Too many connections!

How to interpret “MySQL error 1040 – Too many connections ! ” ?

When a client tries to log into MySQL it may sometimes be rejected and receive an error message saying that there are “too many connections“. This means that the maximum number of clients that may be connected to the server has been reached. Either the client will have to wait for another client to log off, or the administrator will have to increase the maximum number of connections allowed.

Information about connections to a server can be found using the SHOW STATUS statement:

SHOW STATUS LIKE 'max_used_connections';

Prerequisite – Few points to remember before working or troubleshooting MySQL ” Too many connections ! ” error

  1. MySQL does not have it’s own thread handling mechanism / implementation and it completely relies on the thread handling implementation of the underlying operating system.
  2. MySQL system variable max_connections control the maximum number of clients the server permits to connect simultaneously,   You may have to increase max_connections if more clients attempt to connect simultaneously then the server is configured to handle (Explained more in detail –  “Too many connections”).
  3. How MySQL connection handling (both connects and disconnects) works  ?
    1. MySQL Clients connects to MySQL Server via a simple and regular TCP-IP connect message though port 3306 on the Server instance
    2. The incoming connection requests are queued and then processed by the receiver thread one by one, All that receiver thread does is create user thread.  It’s actually user thread which handles the client-server protocol for connection management, Which involves allocate and initialize the corresponding THD for user authentication based on credentials stored on THD’s security policies / directories and finally if successfully authorized in the connection phase, the user thread will enter command phase
    3. The  receiver  thread will either create a new OS thread or reuse and existing “free” OS thread if available in the  thread cache. So we strongly recommend increasing  thread cache in  cases where number of  connections fluctuates  between ver few connections  and having  many connections. But there are three things which a thread might need to wait for:  A mutex, a database lock, or IO.
    4. THD basically is a large data structure used for several purposes like connection management, authorization and even unto to query execution, So how  much THD consumes memory is directly proportionate to the query execution complexities and connection traffic.

MySQL error – Too many connections, How to fix ?

Recently one of customers ( among the top 5 largest e-commerce companies in the world ) called us to check how graceful their connection handling works during peak hours of business, They had issues in  the past with ” ERROR 1040: Too many connections “ and that clearly explains the maximum number of clients that may be connected to the server has been reached so either the client will have to wait for another client to log off, or the administrator will have to increase the maximum number of connections allowed. so wanted us to do a detailed health-check on MySQL connection management and address “Too many connections” error proactively, We have explained below on how we could successfully reproduce this issue and recommended the fix:

Goal: Manage  50,000 connections on MySQL 8.0 (Ubuntu)

The default setting for system variable max_connections is “151”and we are benchmarking 50K connections so the first step before benchmarking  is to increase max_connections to 50000. we increased max_connections to 50000 dynamically and what happened after that was not expected, We have copied the results below:

root@MDB1:~# mysql -uroot -pMDB@PassWd2020 -se "select @@max_connections"
@@max_connections
697

We got only 697 connections, Let’s interpret MySQL error log before proceeding to next steps.. We have copied the same below:

2020-01-30T19:52:35.136192Z0 [Warning] Changed limits: max_open_files: 5129 (requested 10000)
2020-01-30T19:54:13.241937Z0 [Warning] Changed limits: max_connections: 4152 (requested 10000)
2020-01-30T19:57:47.51617Z0 [Warning] Changed limits: table_open_cache: 533 (requested 15000)

This is due to open files limitations for MySQL so let’s increase now the number of allowed open files for MySQL, The following steps we did to fix this resource limit issue:

  • Option  1 – Locate the systemd configuration folder for MySQL and create file /etc/systemd/system/mysqld.service.d/override.conf (file can be called anything ending with .conf).
    • Add LimitNOFILE=55000 in the file override.conf
    • Add TasksMax=55000 in the file override.conf
    • Add LimitNPROC=55000 in the file override.conf
  • Option 2 – We can also create/modify the override file by using native systemctl command like: systemctl edit mysql
root@MDB1:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=55000
TasksMax=55000
LimitNPROC=55000

** MySQL uses some files for additional work and we need to set LimitNOFILE, TasksMax and LimitMPROC higher to get 50000 connections, lets set it to 55000 and reload the systemd daemon and restart the MySQL service.

Reload the systmed daemon and restart the MySQL service:

root@MDB1:~# systemctl daemon-reload
root@MDB1:~# systemctl restart mysql

Now let’s check max_connections to confirm the change applied:

root@MDB1:~# mysql -uroot -pMDB@PassWd2020 -se "select @@max_connections"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
@@max_connections
50000

Conclusion

We have no fixed value recommendations for system variable max_connections, It completely depends on your application load and how your application does connection handling. We advice our customers to avoid too many connections opened concurrently because each thread connected needs memory and there is also resource intensive context switching causing overall performance degradation, Thanks for reading and comments are welcome !

Happy  New Year

MinervaDB wishing you all a very happy and prosperous new year – 2020 ! When we talk to our customers (both existing and prospective) and other community stakeholders during the month January, We get to know their resolutions (specifically on Business and Database Infrastructure Operations) and every company is so very passionate to share their goals for  2020, They actually spend so much  energy is  articulating this very well, loud and clear so that the true spirit never get diluted. In this blog we would like share with you few interesting points which really can influence all of the readers (most of our expected audiences are geeks and technology business owners) too.

Every successful business build loyalty and customer satisfaction year-on-year, They solve more customer problems faster and scale the growth ( with much deeper technology commitments ) to create an impact, so the following are our customer goals for 2020:

  • Every year the internet penetration rate is going higher (especially in the emerging markets) and that means the companies (majorly consumer internet properties) should scale performance for increased data volume and transactions, So where are they investing ? Please read the bullets below to know more:
    • More responsive observability and monitoring infrastructure – Proactive health-check and diagnostics  / forensics of Database Infrastructure Operations

    • More than 50% of  customers are now more serious than ever before  on data privacy and security, Interesting time ahead of us in MinervaDB as we always  love to get challenged technically.
