lease: Add a heap to optimize lease expiration checks #9418

mgates · 2018-03-09T21:23:42Z

This adds a heap acting as a priority queue to keep track of lease
exiprations. Previously the whole lease map had to be iterated through
each time.

The queue allows us to check only those leases which might be expired.
When the expiration changes, we add an additional entry. If we check an
entry that isn't expired, it means that the lease got extended.
If we find a entry in the heap that doesn't have a corresponding entry in
the map, we know that the lease has already been expired or revoked.

This is our first stab at writing real Go, and we're happy to make any changes if you all think this is a good way of doing things.

xiang90 · 2018-03-10T04:09:53Z

can you write a benchmark to compare the old/new approach?

jcalvert · 2018-03-12T15:32:16Z

Absolutely. Do you have an example benchmark you would like us to emulate?

mgates · 2018-03-13T19:13:19Z

We're working on a reproducible, synthetic benchmark, but here is a chart of 3.2.11, 3.3.1 and 3.3.1 with this change under our production traffic to give you an idea of the problem we are trying to fix:

This is our application observed latency for creating a lease and making a transaction (plus some other stuff responsible for the baseline 100ms. These match our other metrics, where average latency is normal, but p99 and higher get very, very large. We should have a reproducible benchmark available soon.

Follow up - that spikiness in the last section was from bad compaction settings - it's almost flat with correct settings.

gyuho · 2018-03-13T19:57:52Z

@mgates Do you mean the tail latency with heap is much higher than the one with map?

gyuho · 2018-03-13T19:59:18Z

Ideally, benchmark (in Go, func BenchmarkTESTNAME) should show faster expiry lease query, and the compiled etcd with heap show lower p99 latency.

mgates · 2018-03-13T20:00:19Z

Great - we'll get those benchmarks set up.

mgates · 2018-03-13T20:00:56Z

I think I'm misunderstanding - the tail latency with the heap is much much lower (and doesn't seem to grow unbounded with lease map length).

gyuho · 2018-03-13T20:08:16Z

tail latency with the heap is much much lower

Then, sounds good!

Can you provide reproducible workloads that can be cross-checked in my side?

mgates · 2018-03-15T20:11:50Z

Just to let you all know, we got side-tracked, but we're still planning on getting some benchmarks done and ready.

That's a good idea.

gyuho · 2018-03-17T23:58:41Z

@mgates This is missing some methods (e.g. revoke).

Let me cherry-pick your commit with more extensive benchmarks, tomorrow.

mgates · 2018-03-18T00:08:28Z

So, we don't actually think we need to revoke or update - the idea is that the heap is just candidates - we always check the map for the actual lease. If a lease is revoked, when we get to it in the heap, we find it's not in the map, and we ignore it. If a lease is renewed, an additional marker gets put in the heap, and we ignore the first one, because the lease isn't expired in the map yet.

gyuho · 2018-03-19T14:26:40Z

So, we don't actually think we need to revoke or update - the idea is that the heap is just candidates - we always check the map for the actual lease.

Then how are we going to handle false positives in server-side lease revoke routine? If a bunch of manual revoke happened, then expire channel could return leases with stale secondary index, and server errors. Was there any performance bottleneck updating heap on revoke?

mgates · 2018-03-19T15:22:39Z

I don't think that we'd get errors - if we get a stale lease ID, we just ignore it. My understanding is that it would be slow to iterate through the leap finding them by lease ID, but if you think it won't be we can try it and benchmark it.

gyuho · 2018-03-19T16:03:35Z

Oh I see now that your code ignores it. I will take another look.

@gyuho We've added a set of benchmark tests around lease operations. From the master branch we got results of:

We believe this accurately reflects the improvement in performance we've seen with the find expired leases function.

gyuho · 2018-03-27T21:07:53Z

@mgates Thanks for updates!

accurately reflects the improvement in performance we've seen with the find expired leases function.

I would like to cross-check on this before we merging in. What kind of workloads did you ingest to verify this improvements?

I am busy till next week. So will try to merge this by following week latest.

jcalvert · 2018-03-27T21:46:56Z

@gyuho - We cloned our traffic in a production environment to a separate cluster, for about 500 GRPC operations per second (tx, get, put, lease grant etc) with a max of about 250 leases expiring per second and a total number of keys averaging around 5 million. This same workload rendered our unpatched cluster unusable within 30 minutes of operation.

The benchmark result makes sense to me.

Thanks a lot!

This adds a heap acting as a priority queue to keep track of lease exiprations. Previously the whole lease map had to be iterated through each time. The queue allows us to check only those leases which might be expired. When the expiration changes, we add an additional entry. If we check an entry that isn't expired, it means that the lease got extended. If we find a entry in the heap that doesn't have a corresponding entry in the map, we know that the lease has already been expired or revoked.
