TiDB supports the following DirectResourceGroupOption, where Request Unit (RU) is a unified abstraction unit in TiDB for CPU, IO, and other system resources.

OptionDescriptionExample
RU_PER_SECRate of RU backfilling per secondRU_PER_SEC = 500 indicates that this resource group is backfilled with 500 RUs per second
PRIORITYThe absolute priority of tasks to be processed on TiKVPRIORITY = HIGH indicates that the priority is high. If not specified, the default value is MEDIUM.
BURSTABLEIf the BURSTABLE attribute is set, TiDB allows the corresponding resource group to use the available system resources when the quota is exceeded.
QUERY_LIMITWhen the query execution meets this condition, the query is identified as a runaway query and the corresponding action is executed.QUERY_LIMIT=(EXEC_ELAPSED='60s', ACTION=KILL, WATCH=EXACT DURATION='10m') indicates that the query is identified as a runaway query when the execution time exceeds 60 seconds. The query is terminated. All SQL statements with the same SQL text will be terminated immediately in the coming 10 minutes. QUERY_LIMIT=() or QUERY_LIMIT=NULL means that runaway control is not enabled. See Runaway Queries.
BACKGROUNDConfigure the background tasks. For more details, see Manage background tasks.BACKGROUND=(TASK_TYPES="br,stats") indicates that the backup and restore and statistics collection related tasks are scheduled as background tasks.

Examples

Create a resource group named rg1 and modify its properties.

DROP RESOURCE GROUP IF EXISTS rg1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.22 sec)
CREATE RESOURCE GROUP IF NOT EXISTS rg1 RU_PER_SEC = 100 BURSTABLE;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
SELECT * FROM information_schema.resource_groups WHERE NAME ='rg1';
+------+------------+----------+-----------+-------------+------------+ | NAME | RU_PER_SEC | PRIORITY | BURSTABLE | QUERY_LIMIT | BACKGROUND | +------+------------+----------+-----------+-------------+------------+ | rg1 | 100 | MEDIUM | NO | NULL | NULL | +------+------------+----------+-----------+-------------+------------+ 1 rows in set (1.30 sec)
ALTER RESOURCE GROUP rg1 RU_PER_SEC = 200 PRIORITY = LOW QUERY_LIMIT = (EXEC_ELAPSED='1s' ACTION=COOLDOWN WATCH=EXACT DURATION '30s');
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
SELECT * FROM information_schema.resource_groups WHERE NAME ='rg1';
+------+------------+----------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+------------+ | NAME | RU_PER_SEC | PRIORITY | BURSTABLE | QUERY_LIMIT | BACKGROUND | +------+------------+----------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+------------+ | rg1 | 200 | LOW | NO | EXEC_ELAPSED='1s', ACTION=COOLDOWN, WATCH=EXACT DURATION='30s' | NULL | +------+------------+----------+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+------------+ 1 rows in set (1.30 sec)

Modify the BACKGROUND option for the default resource group.

ALTER RESOURCE GROUP default BACKGROUND = (TASK_TYPES = "br,ddl");
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
SELECT * FROM information_schema.resource_groups WHERE NAME ='default';
+---------+------------+----------+-----------+-------------+---------------------+ | NAME | RU_PER_SEC | PRIORITY | BURSTABLE | QUERY_LIMIT | BACKGROUND | +---------+------------+----------+-----------+-------------+---------------------+ | default | UNLIMITED | MEDIUM | YES | NULL | TASK_TYPES='br,ddl' | +---------+------------+----------+-----------+-------------+---------------------+ 1 rows in set (1.30 sec)

MySQL compatibility

MySQL also supports ALTER RESOURCE GROUP. However, the acceptable parameters are different from that of TiDB so that they are not compatible.
