MySQL just announced the 8.0 GA in Apr, 2018, this is a very impressive release which will bring quite a lot of new and good features to all users. For example, new data dictionary, enhanced DDL, descending index, partial update JSON, dedicated server, new in-memory storage engine, etc. At the meantime, MySQL has improved the performance significantly in the 8.0 GA release, such as the re-design of redo log. As we know, InnoDB is the main and most important storage engine which is supported officially. By diving into InnoDB, we can know better about how these new features and improvements are implemented, what users should pay attention to, how users can run 8.0 server in a better way.
