1 – APF start: success field
The number of times a APF-initiated buffer fetch attempt was successful in fetching the buffer. This is possible only if an EX lock can be obtained for the whole buffer. A successful APF fetch may actually issue an asynchronous read or simply ensure that a buffer that was already in the buffer pool now moves to the front of the LRU queue. In the latter case, the buffer then becomes least likely to be removed from the buffer pool.
2 – _________:_failure_field_
The number of times a APF-initiated buffer fetch attempt failed due to locking conflicts. If an EX lock cannot be obtained on the whole buffer, then the fetch attempt will fail.
3 – APF I O: utilized field
If a buffer is fetched by APF, it is marked APF_FETCHED. If the buffer is accessed again, then this statistic is incremented to indicate that prefetching the buffer by APF was worthwhile. The statistic is incremented only the first time the buffer is accessed.
4 – _______:_wasted_field_
If a APF-fetched buffer is removed from the buffer pool without being accessed, then this statistic is incremented to indicate that fetching the buffer was not worthwhile.
5 – DAPF start:success field
The number of times a DAPF-initiated buffer fetch attempt was successful in fetching the buffer. This is possible only if an EX lock can be obtained for the whole buffer. A successful DAPF fetch may actually issue an asynchronous read or simply ensure that a buffer that was already in the buffer pool now moves to the front of the LRU queue. In the latter case, the buffer then becomes least likely to be removed from the buffer pool.
6 – __________:failure_field__
The number of times a DAPF-initiated buffer fetch attempt failed due to locking conflicts. If an EX lock cannot be obtained on the whole buffer, then the fetch attempt will fail.
7 – DAPF I O: utilized field
If a buffer is fetched by DAPF, it is marked DAPF_FETCHED. If the buffer is accessed again, then this statistic is incremented to indicate that prefetching the buffer by DAPF was worthwhile. The statistic is incremented only the first time the buffer is accessed.
8 – ________:_wasted_field_
If a DAPF-fetched buffer is removed from the buffer pool without being accessed, then this statistic is incremented to indicate that fetching the buffer was not worthwhile.
