MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5 and NDB Cluster 7.6
          The events_stages_current table
          contains current stage events. The table stores one row per
          thread showing the current status of the thread's most recent
          monitored stage event, so there is no system variable for
          configuring the table size.
        
          Of the tables that contain stage event rows,
          events_stages_current is the most
          fundamental. Other tables that contain stage event rows are
          logically derived from the current events. For example, the
          events_stages_history and
          events_stages_history_long tables
          are collections of the most recent stage events that have
          ended, up to a maximum number of rows per thread and globally
          across all threads, respectively.
        
For more information about the relationship between the three stage event tables, see Section 25.9, “Performance Schema Tables for Current and Historical Events”.
For information about configuring whether to collect stage events, see Section 25.12.5, “Performance Schema Stage Event Tables”.
          The events_stages_current table
          has these columns:
        
              THREAD_ID, EVENT_ID
            
              The thread associated with the event and the thread
              current event number when the event starts. The
              THREAD_ID and
              EVENT_ID values taken together uniquely
              identify the row. No two rows have the same pair of
              values.
            
              END_EVENT_ID
            
              This column is set to NULL when the
              event starts and updated to the thread current event
              number when the event ends.
            
              EVENT_NAME
            
              The name of the instrument that produced the event. This
              is a NAME value from the
              setup_instruments table.
              Instrument names may have multiple parts and form a
              hierarchy, as discussed in
              Section 25.6, “Performance Schema Instrument Naming Conventions”.
            
              SOURCE
            
The name of the source file containing the instrumented code that produced the event and the line number in the file at which the instrumentation occurs. This enables you to check the source to determine exactly what code is involved.
              TIMER_START,
              TIMER_END,
              TIMER_WAIT
            
              Timing information for the event. The unit for these
              values is picoseconds (trillionths of a second). The
              TIMER_START and
              TIMER_END values indicate when event
              timing started and ended. TIMER_WAIT is
              the event elapsed time (duration).
            
              If an event has not finished, TIMER_END
              is the current timer value and
              TIMER_WAIT is the time elapsed so far
              (TIMER_END −
              TIMER_START).
            
              If an event is produced from an instrument that has
              TIMED = NO, timing information is not
              collected, and TIMER_START,
              TIMER_END, and
              TIMER_WAIT are all
              NULL.
            
For discussion of picoseconds as the unit for event times and factors that affect time values, see Section 25.4.1, “Performance Schema Event Timing”.
              WORK_COMPLETED,
              WORK_ESTIMATED
            
              These columns provide stage progress information, for
              instruments that have been implemented to produce such
              information. WORK_COMPLETED indicates
              how many work units have been completed for the stage, and
              WORK_ESTIMATED indicates how many work
              units are expected for the stage. For more information,
              see Stage Event Progress Information.
            
              NESTING_EVENT_ID
            
              The EVENT_ID value of the event within
              which this event is nested. The nesting event for a stage
              event is usually a statement event.
            
              NESTING_EVENT_TYPE
            
              The nesting event type. The value is
              TRANSACTION,
              STATEMENT, STAGE, or
              WAIT.
            
          TRUNCATE TABLE is permitted for
          the events_stages_current table.
          It removes the rows.
