在给一个小表加字段的时候，一直拿不到锁，报错：
ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction
期间show processlist查看，ddl在等待MDL锁。MySQL 的 Metadata Lock 机制是为了保护并发访问数据对象的一致性，并且showps也看不到活动的事务。
如何查到MDL锁的源头呢？innodb_locks是看不到MDL锁的信息的。performance_schema下面有一张表叫metadata_locks
mysql> desc metadata_locks;
+-----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| OBJECT_TYPE | varchar(64) | NO | | NULL | |
| OBJECT_SCHEMA | varchar(64) | YES | | NULL | |
| OBJECT_NAME | varchar(64) | YES | | NULL | |
| OBJECT_INSTANCE_BEGIN | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | | NULL | |
| LOCK_TYPE | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | |
| LOCK_DURATION | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | |
| LOCK_STATUS | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | |
| SOURCE | varchar(64) | YES | | NULL | |
| OWNER_THREAD_ID | bigint(20) unsigned | YES | | NULL | |
| OWNER_EVENT_ID | bigint(20) unsigned | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
10 rows in set (0.00 sec)
默认需要开启metadata 的 instrument，才能拿到MDL锁的信息。
call sys.ps_setup_enable_instrument('wait/lock/metadata/sql/mdl%')
或者：
UPDATE performance_schema.setup_consumers SET ENABLED = 'YES' WHERE NAME ='global_instrumentation';
UPDATE performance_schema.setup_instruments SET ENABLED = 'YES' WHERE NAME ='wait/lock/metadata/sql/mdl';开启后重新执行DDL语句，然后观测
mysql> select * from performance_schema.metadata_locks where object_name='t'\G

可以看到已经会话被授予（GRANTED）了SHARED_READ类型的MDL锁。DDL会话先被授予了SHARED_UPGRADABLE，然后需要被授予EXCLUSIVE的锁，但是拿不到，所以处于PENDING状态。所以只要找到GRANTED的会话是哪个，然后杀掉就可以了。
MDL_SHARED_READ,
/*
A shared metadata lock for cases when there is an intention to modify
(and not just read) data in the table.
A connection holding SW lock can read table metadata and modify or read
table data (after acquiring appropriate table and row-level locks).
To be used for tables to be modified by INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
statements, but not LOCK TABLE ... WRITE or DDL). Also taken by
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE.
*/
MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE,
/*
A shared metadata lock for cases when we need to read data from table
and block all concurrent modifications to it (for both data and metadata).
Used by LOCK TABLES READ statement.
通过perforamnce_schema.threads查找：
mysql> select * from performance_schema.threads where thread_id=29\G

取processlist_id，kill掉该会话即可。
