MySQL Error 3231: Writeset Data Size Exceeded
Description
This error indicates that the amount of data modified within a single transaction (the 'writeset') has grown too large. It typically occurs when a transaction attempts to commit changes that exceed a configured size limit, often related to replication mechanisms like MySQL Group Replication.
Error Message
The size of writeset data for the current transaction exceeds a limit imposed by an external component. If using Group Replication check 'group_replication_transaction_size_limit'.
Known Causes
4 known causesExcessive Transaction Size
A single transaction attempts to modify or insert an exceptionally large amount of data, causing its writeset to exceed the `group_replication_transaction_size_limit`.
Misconfigured Replication Limit
The `group_replication_transaction_size_limit` variable is set to an inappropriately low value for the typical workload, leading to frequent errors for legitimate transactions.
Inefficient Application Design
Application logic frequently performs massive data modifications within a single transaction, rather than breaking them into smaller, manageable chunks.
External Component Constraint
An external component or plugin interacting with MySQL imposes its own transaction size limitations, independent of standard MySQL or Group Replication settings.
