Symptoms

/var/lib/mysql mount point gets full.

Impact

While other dimensions are being collapsed correctly, the Device ID field is not being collapsed causing the growth in size. -- High disk usage. -- Frequent need to clear AVR data.

Conditions

Many combinations of IP addresses, Device IDs (and other ASM dimensions) in traffic over very long period of time (potentially weeks/months).

Workaround

Manually delete AVR mysql partitions located in /var/lib/mysql/AVR.

Fix Information

Over time, no of the AVR_STAT_ASM_HTTP_CLIENT_IP_X#...MYD file exceeds 300 MB, so this problem no longer occurs.
