![]() ![]() I was searching for info on a slab of Sagenite I have, a gift from my cousin David Hill. I appreciate your agates with inclusions site. I enjoy digging and sharing a good campfire.įor more information on agate formation and collecting areas, see my book at: I love to exchange ideas on hunting, cutting, and displaying. I very much like to trade material and will trade agate hunting locations. A very small quantity of agates are exceptional.Īs a collector, I actively buy and sell quality material. Unlike banded agate which often gives the cutter multiple quality slabs, we seldom get more than one outstanding cut per rock with plume or sagenite.Īs a collector, I am very selective in what I pick up in the field and still less than 5% of what I cut goes in my display case. The thrill of finding a quality agate in the field is only topped by making that perfect, often lucky cut in the saw. Some of my favorite agates have complete fortifications next to inclusions. Banded agate apparently forms at a different time. My belief is that sagenite and plume are formed in silica gel after the gel fills or partially fills the cavity. I have not yet seen plumes or sagenite needles penetrate bands in agate. It is based on examining several thousand specimens. Multicolor plumes appear to be more common than multicolor sagenitic sprays. I have found sagenite in or near moss only a few times. Plume and moss are often associated together. In very rare instances, plume and sagenite are found in the same rock. Plume and moss inclusions grow outside the gel as well. If sagenite inclusions grow outside of the gel, the tops of the needles resemble a pin cushion. The inclusions grow and are supported by this liquid medium. The oxide minerals grow in the agate when it is in a liquid or gelatinous state. Inclusions occur where iron oxide, manganese oxide, or other oxides are present when the agate is formed. I have plume from over a hundred agate fields in my collection. If they are present and conditions are right, the inclusions form. The oxides which form plume and other inclusions are quite common. Many collectors know of Priday Plume, Graveyard Point, Del Norte (Colorado), West Texas, and Mexican Plume. Plume is surprisingly more common than most of us might believe. Those few agate fields that have a higher incidence of sagenite offer a rare and exciting treat to the collector. With the exception of a small number of fields, probably less than five percent of the available agate at fields I’ve been to is sagenitic. It is impossible to say today what percentage of the original deposits was sagenitic, but in the hundred or so agate fields I have been to, a very small percentage of the agate has sagenitic inclusions. ![]() My belief is that at least a little sagenite can be found at most agate fields. I have identified sagenite from over 250 different agate deposits worldwide. The main focus here is on sagenite and plume agate. Moss is the most common type of inclusion in agate. ![]() Moss agate comes in many colors and is often green. When inclusions in agate are random in pattern, often creating the appearance of seaweed or moss, we have moss agate. Dendrites may also occur in limestone, talc, and sandstone, and in beryl, corundum, and other minerals. Often dendrites form between flat “waterline” bands of agate. Colors may vary as in sagenite.ĭendritic agate has thin, two-dimentional, treelike growths, usually black or dark brown, as is the case with Montana Agate. Sometimes plume agate inclusions resemble feathers, plants, or flowers. Plume agate has fluffy inclusions which often appear to be soft and have depth. The inclusions come in a wide array of colors. ![]() These hair like filaments are often arranged in fans or sunbursts. Sagenite, or more accurately, sagenitic agate is any agate having acicular or needle-like mineral growths. A description of each of these most common types of inclusions is important here. These inclusions may be sagenitic (sagenite), plume, dendritic, or moss. Agates with inclusions are some of the rarest and most beautiful agates in the world. ![]() ![]() The DML operations will not be blocked on the main table while this process is going on. Swap the current table with the new table in an atomic operation with a one time lock, which will be done in perceivably zero downtime.Create a new table similar to the existing table.I was thinking to go ahead with the following steps and I should be able to avoid downtime. Then I started thinking, can I do something similar to what OPTIMIZE operation does internally in case of Online DDL which allows concurrent DML operations. Of course, downtime cannot be an option here since this is a key table and this will mean downtime for the complete application, which is not acceptable. which implies having a longer downtime window for concurrent DML operations. So, the table copy method is used instead. There are some FULLTEXT indexes on this table. OPTIMIZE operation cannot be done using INPLACE algorithm when FULLTEXT indexes are present. During the commit phase, table metadata changes are committed. During the prepare phase, a lock is taken briefly over metadata and a new table(intermediate) is created. This operation is completed “in place” and an exclusive table lock is taken briefly, only during the prepare and commit phase of the operation. OPTIMIZE operation uses Online DDL for InnoDB tables, which reduces the downtime for concurrent DML operations. This can help us in using storage more efficiently along with providing the solution to the above problem. ![]() In my opinion, the latter option ( OPTIMIZE) should be used here, since there are a lot of deletions on this table which could have resulted in table data to be highly fragmented. This rebuilds/defragments the table data so that data is stored more compactly, updates the indexes accordingly and then does an ANALYZE on the table. Statistics are collected using some random sample pages from new data in the table This clears the current statistics and new statistics are collected when the table is accessed next time. As per the MySQL documentation, these statistics for a table can be re-estimated explicitly by using the following methods: We found the root cause to be the Outdated Table Statistics. Table Statistics can become outdated if there are a lot of insertions and deletions on the given table (which is true in our case). So, when MySQL optimizer is not picking up the right index in EXPLAIN, it could be caused by outdated table statistics. The Root Causeīefore running any query, MySQL optimiser makes decisions about the execution plan (which can be seen via EXPLAIN), which in turn uses table statistics and conditions in clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, etc. Then I started reading more about why this can be happening. The same query used the required index on these databases, which I got to know using EXPLAIN command.Īt this point, I was literally clueless about why this is happening and I panicked and rushed towards the coffee dispenser, my usual escape when I am stuck with some problem and had quite a few cups of coffee and regained my consciousness. But to verify, I checked the query on other databases with similar schemas (QA and dev environment) and even on replica database. Since this feature was being used extensively in production from the past few months without any issues and no change on this feature went in the last few weeks, there is no way the given query was wrong. When I dug deeper into the issue using the EXPLAIN command, I noticed that this query was not using an index which it should be using. I started wondering what happened suddenly that query performance degraded. ![]() The table being talked about is a frequently used table, having around 300M rows approximately, with a lot of additions and deletions from the table happening on a regular basis. Pretext to understand the issue: We use MySQL 5.7(InnoDb) as our main database. I immediately checked our logs and noticed that a particular query was taking much longer than expected for a few users, and even timing out for few others. ![]() The Problem At Handįew customers have suddenly started to feel slowness and intermittent failures in a particular feature. It was a normal day, I was working on some new feature additions in the software and suddenly an issue pops up. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() The default shell in macOS Big Sur and Monterey is zsh. ![]() This was announced back in January 2021, when /opt/homebrew became the default directory for Apple silicon instead of /usr/local on the Intel machines.Īt the time of writing this article (May 2022), most of the popular tools that use Homebrew already support the arm64 architecture, so it’s easier to update different software using Homebrew. The default path for Homebrew has changed for the new M1 machines, and you may need to update the path for Homebrew in your local machine and the path in your Codemagic workflow if you are using hard-coded paths. You may require versions of tools built specifically for arm64 architecture, e.g., Ruby. Here is how you can install homebrew on MacBooks and Mac Minis running on M1 silicon chip.

I cant really locate these files (libm.a or libm.dylib) on the machine - hence have no idea whether the issue may be related to a poor library path.I tried to install recent Xcode (3. If I sign off and come back in a week, then I must do it again. If I write this export PATH/opt/homebrew/bin:PATH That should do it, but it is only temporary. This happens with installing homebrew on an Apple Mac with the M1 CPU. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local (on macOS Intel). The Homebrew package manager makes it easy to install and update applications and utilities on a Mac. It used to work just a few days ago and I am not really sure what may have changed. The homebrew install was successful, however. Homebrew is a popular package manager that helps you to simplify installing tools and software on your Mac machine. Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. ![]() ![]() And the cool thing about Cheerios is it tastes good.
