This plugin adds optimizer hints to every sql query:

Resource Groups

Resource groups can be used to manage workloads on mysql servers. Each query can utilize a specific number of CPU or have different thread priority. The plugin add the executing RT user to the query. You can restrict resources for users and log which user is executing queriey (searches) on the system

Execution Time

Adds MAX_EXECUTION_TIME to the query without global or user based configuration on the sql server.

# mysqldumpslow -t 10

Count: 3  Time=0.00s (0s)  Lock=0.00s (0s)  Rows_sent=1.0 (3), Rows_examined=1.0 (3), rt_user[rt_user]@localhost
  SELECT /*+ MAX_EXECUTION_TIME(N) */ /*+ RESOURCE_GROUP(RT_User_14322) */ * FROM Tickets WHERE id = 'S' FOR UPDATE
  
Count: 35  Time=0.00s (0s)  Lock=0.00s (0s)  Rows_sent=1.9 (68), Rows_examined=1.4 (48), rt_user[rt_user]@localhost
  SELECT /*+ MAX_EXECUTION_TIME(N) */ /*+ RESOURCE_GROUP(RT_User_14322) */ main.* FROM Attributes main  WHERE
  (main.ObjectId = N) AND (main.ObjectType = 'S')  ORDER BY main.id ASC
