-`statements_summary` and `statements_summary_history` display the statement summary data of only a single TiDB server. To query the data of the entire cluster, you need to query `cluster_statements_summary` and `cluster_statements_summary_history`.
+The `tidb_stmt_summary_max_stmt_count` variable controls the maximum number of statements that the `statement_summary` table stores in memory. The `statement_summary` table uses the LRU algorithm. Once the number of SQL statements exceeds the `tidb_stmt_summary_max_stmt_count` value, the longest unused record is evicted from the table. The number of evicted SQL statements during each period is recorded in the `statements_summary_evicted` table.

+The `statements_summary`, `statements_summary_history`, and `statements_summary_evicted` tables only show the statement summary of a single TiDB server.

These tables use the `INSTANCE` field to represent the address of the TiDB server. The other fields are the same as those in `statements_summary`.
 
 ## Parameter configuration
 
 The following system variables are used to control the statement summary:
 
 - `tidb_enable_stmt_summary`: Determines whether to enable the statement summary feature. `1` represents `enable`, and `0` means `disable`. The feature is enabled by default. The statistics in the system table are cleared if this feature is disabled. The statistics are re-calculated next time this feature is enabled. Tests have shown that enabling this feature has little impact on performance.
 - `tidb_stmt_summary_refresh_interval`: The interval at which the `statements_summary` table is refreshed. The time unit is second (s). The default value is `1800`.
+<<<<<<< HEAD
 - `tidb_stmt_summary_history_size`: The size of each SQL statement category stored in the `statements_summary_history` table. The default value is `24`.
 - `tidb_stmt_summary_max_stmt_count`: Limits the number of SQL statements that can be stored in statement summary tables. Before v5.1.1, the default value is `200`. Since v5.1.1, the default value is `3000`. If the limit is exceeded, those SQL statements that recently remain unused are cleared.
+=======
+- `tidb_stmt_summary_history_size`: The size of each SQL statement category stored in the `statements_summary_history` table, which is also the maximum number of records in the `statement_summary_evicted` table. The default value is `24`.
+- `tidb_stmt_summary_max_stmt_count`: Limits the number of SQL statements that can be stored in statement summary tables. The default value is `3000`. If the limit is exceeded, those SQL statements that recently remain unused are cleared. These cleared SQL statements are recorded in the `statement_summary_evicted` table.
+>>>>>>> c7f98741a (statement summary: update statement summary doc (#6084))
 - `tidb_stmt_summary_max_sql_length`: Specifies the longest display length of `DIGEST_TEXT` and `QUERY_SAMPLE_TEXT`. The default value is `4096`.
 - `tidb_stmt_summary_internal_query`: Determines whether to count the TiDB SQL statements. `1` means to count, and `0` means not to count. The default value is `0`.
 
 > **Note:**
 >
-> When a category of SQL statement needs to be removed because the `tidb_stmt_summary_max_stmt_count` limit is exceeded, TiDB removes the data of that SQL statement category of all time ranges from the `statement summary history` table. Therefore, even if the number of SQL statement categories in a certain time range does not reach the limit, the number of SQL statements stored in the `statement summary history` table is less than the actual number of SQL statements. If this situation occurs, you are recommended to increase the value of `tidb_stmt_summary_max_stmt_count`.

+After the system has run for a period of time, you can check the `statement_summary` table to see whether SQL eviction has occurred. For example:
