can not view the thread holding the MDL lock

Description

I am using the mysql version as follows
Server version: 5.7.19-17-log Percona Server (GPL), Release 17, Revision e19a6b7b73f

However, I can not view the thread holding the MDL lock.
I refer to the following article
https://www.percona.com/blog/2016/12/28/quickly-troubleshooting-metadata-locks-mysql-5-7/

 

When I execute the following command.Performance_schema.metadata_locks should have content, but nothing.
update performance_schema.setup_instruments set enabled = 'yes', timed = 'no' where name = 'wait/lock/metadata/sql/mdl';

 

Details are as follows
test@(none) 09:42:06>update performance_schema.setup_instruments set enabled = 'yes', timed = 'no'
-> where name = 'wait/lock/metadata/sql/mdl';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0

test@(none) 09:42:33>select * from performance_schema.setup_instruments where name like 'wait/lock/metadata/sql/mdl';

test@(none) 09:42:33>
test@(none) 09:42:34>select * from performance_schema.metadata_locks;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

 

As I understand it, as soon as you turn on 'wait/lock/metadata/sql/mdl', you can see something in performance_schema.metadata_locks

 

Environment

CentOS release 6.6 (Final)  2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64

You must enable metadata lock instrumentation before examined thread acquires the lock. Also, if there is no metadata lock acquired you will see nothing in performance_schema.metadata_locks.

This is not a bug.
