Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_column_lob

The number of parallel query requests that use the nonparallel query processing path because the table has columns with a LOB data type, or VARCHAR columns that are stored externally due to the declared length. For information about Aurora MySQL versions that remove this limitation, see Upgrading parallel query clusters to Aurora MySQL version 3.

The number of parallel query requests that use the nonparallel query processing path because the table has columns with a custom character set.

Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_fast_ddl

The number of parallel query requests that use the nonparallel query processing path because the table is currently being altered by a fast DDL ALTER statement.

Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_few_pages_outside_buffer_pool

The number of times parallel query wasn't chosen, even though less than 95 percent of the table data was in the buffer pool, because there wasn't enough unbuffered table data to make parallel query worthwhile.

The number of parallel query requests that use the nonparallel query processing path because the table has full-text indexes.

Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_high_buffer_pool_pct

The number of times parallel query wasn't chosen because a high percentage of the table data (currently, greater than 95 percent) was already in the buffer pool. In these cases, the optimizer determines that reading the data from the buffer pool is more efficient. An EXPLAIN statement can increment this counter even though the query isn't actually performed.

Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_long_trx

The number of parallel query requests that used the nonparallel query processing path, due to the query being started inside a long-running transaction. An EXPLAIN statement can increment this counter even though the query isn't actually performed.

Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_no_where_clause

The number of parallel query requests that use the nonparallel query processing path because the query doesn't include any WHERE clause.

Aurora_pq_request_not_chosen_range_scan

The number of parallel query requests that use the nonparallel query processing path because the query uses a range scan on an index.
