TIKV_REGION_STATUS

The TIKV_REGION_STATUS table shows some basic information of TiKV Regions via PD's API, like the Region ID, starting and ending key-values, and read and write traffic.

The descriptions of the columns in the TIKV_REGION_STATUS table are as follows:

• REGION_ID: The ID of the Region.
• START_KEY: The value of the start key of the Region.
• END_KEY: The value of the end key of the Region.
• TABLE_ID: The ID of the table to which the Region belongs.
• DB_NAME: The name of the database to which TABLE_ID belongs.
• TABLE_NAME: The name of the table to which the Region belongs.
• IS_INDEX: Whether the Region data is an index. 0 means that it is not an index, while 1 means that it is an index. If the current Region contains both table data and index data, there will be multiple rows of records, and IS_INDEX is 0 and 1 respectively.
• INDEX_ID: The ID of the index to which the Region belongs. If IS_INDEX is 0, the value of this column is NULL.
• INDEX_NAME: The name of the index to which the Region belongs. If IS_INDEX is 0, the value of this column is NULL.
• EPOCH_CONF_VER: The version number of the Region configuration. The version number increases when a peer is added or removed.
• EPOCH_VERSION: The current version number of the Region. The version number increases when the Region is split or merged.
• WRITTEN_BYTES: The amount of data (bytes) written to the Region.
• READ_BYTES: The amount of data (bytes) that has been read from the Region.
• APPROXIMATE_SIZE: The approximate data size (MB) of the Region.
• APPROXIMATE_KEYS: The approximate number of keys in the Region.
• REPLICATIONSTATUS_STATE: The current replication status of the Region. The status might be UNKNOWN, SIMPLE_MAJORITY, or INTEGRITY_OVER_LABEL.
• REPLICATIONSTATUS_STATEID: The identifier corresponding to REPLICATIONSTATUS_STATE.

Also, you can implement the top confver, top read and top write operations in pd-ctl via the ORDER BY X LIMIT Y operation on the EPOCH_CONF_VER, WRITTEN_BYTES and READ_BYTES columns.

You can query the top 3 Regions with the most write data using the following SQL statement:

SELECT * FROM tikv_region_status ORDER BY written_bytes DESC LIMIT 3;
