I am trying to debug the following scenario: There are 2 parallel processes, inserting the exact same row into the table with a unique constraint. This is done outside of the explicit transaction (although I assume InnoDB treats this as a single w / auto commit statement inside?)
The scheme is as follows:
CREATE TABLE locks (
id bigint(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
lock_uid varchar(255) NOT NULL,
count smallint(6) NOT NULL,
processor_id varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
created_at timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
updated_at timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
UNIQUE INDEX locks_lock_uid_unique (lock_uid)
)
As you can see, there is a unique index in lock_uidto prevent multiple rows with the same value as in the table.
Commands that are executed (for context, they are taken from the general query log for complete sanity, there are no other operators in any of the threads outside the sort command):
Theme 1:
insert into `locks` (`lock_uid`, `count`, `processor_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`)
values ('11161567', '0', NULL, '2017-11-07 10:46:36', '2017-11-07 10:46:36')
Theme 2:
insert into `locks` (`lock_uid`, `count`, `processor_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`)
values ('11161567', '0', NULL, '2017-11-07 10:46:36', '2017-11-07 10:46:36')
This led to the following deadlock:
