Aurora MySQL synch/mutex/innodb/aurora_lock_thread_slot_futex wait

Thanks to Jeremiah Wilton for the following info:

This wait event indicates that there is a thread which is waiting on an InnoDB record lock. Check your database for conflicting workloads. More information on InnoDB locking can be found here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-locking.html

In other words, record-level lock conflicts are happening. More than one connection is trying to update the last_login for a particular id in the_table at the same time. Those connections are conflicting and serializing on the record lock for that id. Here’s a query that can help you identify the blocker and waiter for InnoDB record locks in MySQL-family engines. Run this when you see the aurora_lock_thread_slot_futex wait event in Performance Insights. In a future release of Performance Insights, we will automatically generate and display a similar blockers-and-waiters report when Performance Insights detects this event.
