初步认知MySQLmetadatalock(MDL)

假如没有MDL

与上面的不同，在5.5 MDL拉长了生命长度，与事务同生共死，只要事务还在，MDL就在，由于事务持有MDL锁，任何DDL在事务期间都休息染指，下面是个例子

lock_wait_timeout

mysql> show variables like 'lock_wait_timeout';+-------------------+----------+| Variable_name     | Value    |+-------------------+----------+| lock_wait_timeout | 31536000 |+-------------------+----------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)

This variable specifies the timeout in seconds for attempts to acquire metadata locks. The permissible values range from 1 to 31536000 (1 year). The default is 31536000

结论：

当需要对"热表"做DDL，需要特别谨慎，否则，容易造成MDL等待，导致连接耗尽或者拖垮Server
