Why doesn't my cluster performance scale when I double the number of machines?

aqua · August 15, 2018, 9:26am

Hello fellow FDB aficionado!

I was wondering if you could help me identifying why I am not seeing any improvements after I scale my FDB cluster out.

I have read the performance page and I know it is supposed to scale… I must be doing something incorrectly.

Explanation:
Let me be more specific with a benchmark I just run today using FDB 5.2 on linux on AWS/EC2.

I started a cluster of 10 instances (i3.xlarge with NVME SSD 900GB high network throughput, 4vCPU).
For information I had 16 storage processes (2 per disk or per instance), 2 transaction log processes (1 per disk on different instance), the rest of the processes stateless. I had 2 proxies configured, 3 coordinators and the 1 default resolver. Storage is ssd with double copy. This is based on recommendations from Alex Miller and Thomas Johnson (It wouldn’t be proper to tag them directly here)

Then I start 25 tester instances to generate some transactions at the rate of 25,000 transaction per sec. Each transaction consists of 1 read and 5 writes. So in total I have 125,000 Write HZ and 25,000 Read HZ.

I’m getting good transaction speed at 40ms on average (recorded on the client/tester side).
(Looking at the FDB latency probe transaction and read are under 10ms, but commit is at about 40ms which may indicate the beginning of a problem).

I increase the load by 10k, and eventually repeat the test with 50 tester instances generating 50,000 transactions/sec. This is too much for the cluster, it seems to saturate (the latency probe for commit is at 2.5s when that happens, and I am getting about 5% conflicts)

So I found the limit of the cluster, and I’m expecting that if I scale out to 20 FDB instances I might be able to serve that transaction rate. Hence I start 10 more instances to join the cluster. And apply the same ratios: double the log processes to 4, 4 proxies too. I now have 32 storage processes on 20 machines.

I repeat the test with 25 testers (25,000 tps) and I get exactly the same transaction processing time (40-50ms) as when I had 10 machines.
I also repeat the test with 50 testers (50,000 tps) and get into the same issue, the cluster is saturated same as when I had 10 FDB machines.

Why would that be…?
If CPU or even disk IO was a bottleneck with 10 instances shouldn’t that get avoided if I double the number of machines… Could I be hitting some other limit? The resolver process maybe… isn’t it recommended to have a single resolver tho?

I would really appreciate your help on this.

Thank you!

After adding the additional processes, and before running your second test, did you run configure logs=4 proxies=4 from fdbcli so that FDB actually places new logs and proxies in the processes that you gave it?

Process classes specify where FDB is allowed to place roles that it tries to recruit. The configuration specifies how many of what roles FDB will try to recruit somewhere.

aqua · August 15, 2018, 10:01pm

Yes I did Alex because I noticed they were not recruited otherwise. status json confirmed the 32 storage processes and 4 log processes on 4 different instances.

alexmiller · August 16, 2018, 1:54am

Can you double check that your 4 proxies are on different machines as well (and different from the machines with log processes)? Are you sure you aren’t bound on a single machine’s network bandwidth somewhere? Can you pastebin your status json and post that?

The fact that you’re seeing no increase in throughput makes this strongly sound like there’s something that’s you’re fully utilizing already. I’ve never doubled the number of proxies and logs in a setup and seen no change at saturation. Would it be relatively easy for you to run poma’s fdbtop to be able to get a quick by machine/role overview of your cluster’s resource utilization?

aqua · August 16, 2018, 2:03am

Sorry Alex I forgot to thank you before for answering and helping me out: thank you!!

I have shutdown that cluster but I will build another one, and check the location of the 4 proxies. Is there a class I can configure to force/suggest the recruitment of proxy on different instances?

I will try to add fdbtop to my instances.

Shall I repeat that benchmark in 2 stages like I had done?
1- start with 10 machines, and run a test at 25,000 tps and then 50,000 tps (1 transaction = 1 read + 5 write )
2 - scale out to 20 machines, and run the same tests.

Capture status json every 10sec for a couple of minutes and run fdbtop in the foreground.

Could running the memory engine help me identify if it’s diskIO related?

Thx!

poma · August 16, 2018, 3:17am

Are you using your own test software or fdb instances with test role? Maybe there is some performance issue in your testers?

Are your tests longer than 2min?

daverosenthal · August 16, 2018, 3:43am

I imagine that looking at cpu utilization metrics for your test with 20 machines where it is in saturation will suggest the cause. Some FDB process will probably not be under proper load.

To speculate on one potential cause: I don’t know how good hot-shard splitting is these days, but it’s possible (especially in a short test) that you don’t have enough data in your test for it to be well-distributed over the nodes.

Also, 40ms for a 5-write 1-read transaction is pretty bad. I would try to run your test workload at a much lower rate and validate that 40ms is indeed the “nominal” latency. If so, something needs some help because AWS with NVME SSDs should be considerable better I would think.

aqua · August 16, 2018, 3:55am

Hello Roman,

Thank you for fdbtop and the test-cluster! I will use fdbtop now.

We are using our own GO tester program with creates 10,000 goroutines and once every 10s at random one transaction is committed, that happens 10 times. I was running 50 testers like that to simulate the load. The test would last 10x10sec (1m40s).
The keys are tuple in the form:

A, B
A, C
A, D
A, D, E
G, A, F
where each variable name is the same for a particular test run. So A could be a hot shard and data not distributed properly over the nodes?

To use fdb test role, I would:

install the fdb.cluster file into the tester instance
set class = test for each fdb process (If I have 4vCPU is it ok to configure 4 FDB processes each with test class?)
start the tester like that: fdbserver -r multitest

Repeat with multiple instances…
Is that right?

Thank you !

alexmiller · August 16, 2018, 3:59am

There is a proxy class, which is conveniently named proxy.

I think I’m mostly just interested in the process layout that you get in your 20 machine cluster. If you can run your 50k tps/sec test, and confirm that you get the same results as last time, that would be a good sanity check.

If your problem was storage server disk IO related, I would have strongly expected doubling the number of storage servers in your cluster to greatly improve things.

I will also second daverosenthal’s comment about splitting. FDB will split shards by data volume and bandwidth. I haven’t personally run into persistent “hot shard” problems in performance tests that I’ve run, but not having enough splits pre-created in the database has definitely thrown off some of my results. If your database contains less shards than storage servers, then additional storage servers are no help. (I could have sworn I recalled Evan doing some work to make pre-splitting for load tests easier, but I can’t seem to find an issue or PR about it…)

EDIT: You can see the full list of role names here and their meaning here.

Okay Alex, thank you!

This is what I have in my cluster of 10 machines at the moment:

In your last comment Alex, are you suggesting that I need to prepare my database by pre-creating some shards? I’m definitely not doing anything special…

Thanks

alexmiller · August 16, 2018, 4:33am

Cluster layout LGTM. Did you have a benchmark running when you ran fdbtop? If not, then if you happen to grab one, it’d be interesting to see the cpu/net/disk percentages while you’re at saturation.

I think the quickest and easiest way to do the “pre-loading of data” is just to let your test run for longer, if you haven’t been already. If you’re spinning up an empty database, writing your 50k transactions/second against it for minute, and then tearing it down, then you might never actually get to a steady state where your load is evenly distributed across all the storage servers you have.

What is the size of key-value bytes stored when you start your test, and what’s the size of key-value bytes when you end the test? (The status command should give you this number.)

If you run your performance test, configured where you were getting ~40ms commits, for a longer span of time, do you see anything change?

alexmiller · August 16, 2018, 4:46am

multitest takes a variety of arguments:

-C <clusterfile> – the same cluster as everywhere else
-r multitest – the obvious requirement
-f <testspec> – one of the files under tests/ , or something that follows a similar pattern.
--num_testers N – the number of tester roles to recruit

A test spec of something like

testTitle = Benchmark
testName = ReadWrite
readsPerTransactionA = 1
writesPerTransactionA = 5
alpha = 0
testDuration = 60
runConsistencyCheck = false

would be about the same as the go client test that you’ve been running. There’s two more options you can add: nodeCount = N defines the number of keys involved in the workload, and valueBytes / minValueBytes defines the size of the value written in the tests.

(Though I didn’t take the time to throw up a mini cluster locally and actually invoke multitest against it, so I’m sorry if anything I gave in the above is wrong.)

If you are going to write a client in Go though, there is some degree of value in benchmarking FDB via your client, because it might teach you things that you’ll need to know when writing an FDB client.

I have run Roman’s FDB tester config (alpha at 0.8 @ 2R/8W) against my 10 machines cluster.
The fdbserver in test role was run from a single machine (4 processes) tho (as a first test).

But I got the following result with: fdbserver -r multitest -f test1.txt

So to analyse I need to add all 4 metrics (Metric (x, 1)) to check if I got the desired 25,000. If so it did achieved this, and with good latency it would appear.
In general I’m more CPU bound than disk/network bound it would appear. Would increasing the number of storage server to 3 per instance instead of 2 make sense eventually?

I’ll try it with desired transactionsPerSecond at 50K and expecting some saturation…

I repeated the test with testDuration=180 and transactionPerSecond=50000

4 test clients passed; 0 test clients failed

It would appear it was only able to achieve ~30,000 tps
Maybe the tester was a bit saturated and I can have a couple more running test role. But more likely I’m hitting a CPU limit on the storage processes. Too many stateless processes not being utilised?

Anything I should tweak in the environment or cluster?

Thank you! / Matt

I added 10 more machines to get to a cluster of 20machines. I recruited 2 more logs, 2 more proxies (on different instances than log’s) and re-configure. I ran the same last benchmark (3min, 50,000 tps)

I got to about 40000tps, so slightly more than with 10 instances but exactly the same latency as with 10 instances: average commit latency at about 200ms.

I’m going to try increasing the number of resolvers…

I configured the cluster with resolvers=4 and re-run the same fdbserver test (3min, 50,000tps)

fdbtop:

BEAUTY!
tps: 12,500x4=50,000!
commit latency: 10ms!

So it was the resolvers that were limiting the transaction flow it would appear. I can understand how the resolver can become a bottleneck but do you mind confirming that its impact is as important as that?

Link to status json dump (after the test was run, more useful as a reference for IP/IDs): status json

I still got 4% of conflicts, so I’ll try to increase the resolvers to 8 (double the number of log processes) and see if that can improve the results…

It’s been fun thank you

I turned that 8 resolvers did not improve the conflicts.

I continued to raise the number of tps. 75,000 saturated the cluster a bit with commit latency at 250ms. I scaled to 30 instances, increased to 6 logs, proxies and resolvers. Latency came down again to a few ms. But a small proportion of conflicts remained.

I’ll try some other combo tomorrow. Let me know if there are some particular config changes you’d like me to make.

Thank you very much for your help today!
Cheers / Matt

Generally you need more resolvers on write heavy load and with more operations you have per write transaction.

As you can see storage servers at first use mostly CPU but as data starts flowing from transaction logs it becomes io bound. So for accurate results it may be better to not count the first minute in benchmarks (unless you plan to have spiky load in production). You need to increase storage count per disk only when you see 100% cpu usage after test is already running for some time, this may happen in read heavy workload.

Conflicts happen when 2 or more transactions access the same keys while both are uncommited. Increasing resolver count will not help with that. What can help is achieving lower latencies, modifying your transactions so that there are less conflicts, increasing key space.

Why doesn't my cluster performance scale when I double the number of machines?
