These views provide a granular breakdown of InnoDB buffer pool usage by individual tables, sorted by buffer allocation size.
Querying these views can have a noticeable performance impact on a production server.
The innodb_buffer_stats_by_table and x$innodb_buffer_stats_by_table views summarize information from the Information Schema INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE table, grouped by schema and table. Rows are sorted by descending buffer size by default.
The innodb_buffer_stats_by_table view is intended to be easier for human reading, while the x$innodb_buffer_stats_by_table view provides the data in raw form, intended for tools that process the data.
They contain the following columns:

Table name.
allocated
Total number of bytes allocated for the table.
data
Number of data bytes allocated for the table.
