Hi @clement2026. Thanks for your PR. I'm waiting for a etcd-io member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the I understand the commands that are listed here. Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here.

Here is the benchmark results:
Performance drops when the value size hits 2^13. I will perform CPU profiling for scenarios with large value sizes. The benchmarks were conducted on a cloud VM with 8 vCPUs and 16 GB of memory using the following script: export RATIO_LIST="4/1"
export REPEAT_COUNT=3
export RUN_COUNT=50000
echo RATIO_LIST=$RATIO_LIST

Thanks @clement2026 for the test report. The throughput increase up to 30% is a little weird. Theoretically, the performance should be very close. From implementation perspective, the only possible reason for the throughput increase I can think of could be due to the code snippet below, which won't be executed anymore in this PR. Could you double confirm this to help us have a better understanding? e.g. temporarily remove the code snippet on main branch, and then compare with this PR again. etcd/server/etcdserver/server.go Lines 2432 to 2440 in b433760
The CPU usage is very close, which looks fine. |
@ahrtr The 30% increase is really puzzling for me too. Can't wait to do the comparison and see what we find out. |

It seems this PR/patch doesn't show significant performance changes. The benchmarks were conducted using the following script on a cloud VM with 8 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM. export RATIO_LIST="4/1"

date; cd ~/etcd/tools/rw-heatmaps && ./rw-benchmark.sh; date; Details@ahrtr You were right about the strange 30% increase. The 30% turns out to be wrong data from my faulty script:
When running this script to benchmark 2 branches, the second one always shows the 30% drop in performance. I’m not sure if it’s a machine issue, as I didn't see unusual I/O, swap, or CPU activity after each benchmark. Anyway, I managed to get solid benchmark results by rebooting the machine after each run. Below are benchmark details. Machine was rebooted after each benchmark. Test 1Benchmark main branch for 3 times to ensure the results is reliable.

Thanks @clement2026 for the hard & nice work!
It seems this PR/patch doesn't show significant performance changes.
This seems reasonable, and it aligns with our understanding.
Almost all the heatmap diagrams have very similar color distribution, so it's very clear that they have very similar performance data.
A separate but related topic... I still think it's worthwhile to implement the line charts (see #15060) as another visualisation method, which is clearer for comparison when there is bigger performance difference. cc @ivanvc
Hey @ahrtr, I actually have a branch with this change, which I was working on some months ago. However, because of other tasks, I haven't been able to revisit it. I'll try to get back to this soon. |

LGTM. Thanks, @clement2026.
Thanks @clement2026 for thorough investigation. Exemplary work!
We should note this and keep in mind when doing any future performance testing. Would be worth figuring out how we can protect against such cases. |

Per the suggestion in (#18235 (comment)), I have changed the snapshot and compact operations to a synchronous process for simplification.
As a first step, I just removed
s.GoAttach(func() {})
.I will add benchmark results once all tests pass.
