Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

We recently had over 1M messages back up in a container.

For reasons that aren't completely clear, AMQ executed the query found in
Statements.getFindNextMessagesStatement mid-morning:

SELECT ID, MSG
    FROM activemq.ACTIVEMQ_MSGS
   WHERE CONTAINER = :1 AND ID > :2 AND ID < :3 AND XID IS NULL
ORDER BY ID;

With the parameters:
1              queue://generic_createContract
2              -1
3              183893253

This call appears to originate from
DefaultJDBCAdapter.doRecoverNextMessages, which calls setMaxRows on the
PreparedStatement with (apparently) 200 rows.  

However it appears the Oracle thin driver makes no attempt to limit the
result set based on the max rows value; instead it selects and sorts the
entire 1M row plus values and makes them available to the client, which
stops creating objects after reading the first 200.

The net result was that our Oracle server spiked to 90%+ on this one query
and caused a complete AMQ failure in production, knocking over a number of
critical systems.

We wound up stopping all of our brokers and manually dropping the messages
in this container in order to resolve the 3 hour outage.

Is there a known issue with using Oracle persistence with AMQ that precludes
having more than thousands of messages?  If the "max rows" approach with the
thin driver works as it appears to, we can't be the first to have seen this
problem.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you
Nathan

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Nathan Wray <nw...@detroitsci.com>.
I'm going to look into the driver detection Monday and see if I can
determine why the driver isn't recognized, if I can articulate the problem
I'm create a bug.
We're using the stock ojdbc7.jar Oracle thin driver so I'm not aware of any
reason why detection should not work.
I found the resource folder with the driver-named files that refer to the
correct resource adapter class but I haven't found where the correct
filename is generated from the driver class.  I'm assuming it's reflection
somewhere.

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Tim Bain <tb...@gmail.com>.
I'm glad you found a solution (one that's already in the codebase, even).

Is the driver one that we should be recognizing as an Oracle driver? Should
we be writing a bug against the fact that we didn't recognize the driver?
Or are you using a driver that's custom or exotic in some way?

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Nathan Wray <nw...@detroitsci.com>.
To wrap this up, this issue is known and has been fixed via the
OracleJDBCAdapter class.

The problem we're seeing is due to AMQ not recognizing our driver as an
Oracle driver, which is not unheard of.
We should be able to force the correct adapter with something like:


<persistenceAdapter>

<jdbcPersistenceAdapter adapter="oracleJDBCAdapter"
dataDirectory="${activemq.base}/activemq-data" dataSource="#oracle-ds"
lockKeepAlivePeriod="3000">




which will override limitQuery with an inner select and a ROWNUM clause:

@Override
    public String limitQuery(String query) {
        return "SELECT * FROM (" + query + ") WHERE ROWNUM <= " +
getMaxRows();
    }

Thank you again Gary and Tim for your help.

Nathan

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Nathan Wray <nw...@detroitsci.com>.
Gary, great leads, thank you.

I'm planning to verify the performance of replacing the stock query:

SELECT
    ID
    ,MSG
FROM
    table
WHERE
    CONTAINER=?
    AND ID < ?
    AND ID > ?
    AND XID IS NULL
ORDER BY
    ID

With something oracle-specific that will limit the rows in the database,
and only perform the inner query on ID.
I'm assuming ID is the PK and is unique w/o container, I'll verify.
(The inner query below should be less expensive as a constraint without the
MSG column, it's required in order to not break the order by semantic.)

SELECT
    t1.ID
    ,t1.MSG
FROM
    table t1
WHERE
    t1.ID IN (
        SELECT t2.ID FROM table t2 WHERE t2.CONTAINER=? t2.ID < ? AND t2.ID
> ? AND t2.XID IS NULL ORDER BY t2.ID
    )
    AND ROWNUM < maxRows

BR
Nathan

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Gary Tully <ga...@gmail.com>.
there was some work on limiting queries:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6049

also - the statements can be configured - so you can provide your own
statement via configuration.

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Nathan Wray <nw...@detroitsci.com>.
Tim, thanks for writing.

Does AMQ support DB-speciifc queries?  I could likely write the patch
myself if pointed in the right direction.

DefaultJDBCAdapter.doRecoverNextMessages looks like a method that would be
called at start-up, can you verify?
Or, under what circumstances is that invoked?

The default install had an index on ID; we added an index on Container plus
ID that changed the plan:


*Temp Space*

*Plan*

*SELECT STATEMENT *ALL_ROWS Cost: 4

*3 *



*3 **FILTER *

*2 *





*2 **TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID TABLE *ACTIVEMQ.ACTIVEMQ_MSGS Cost: 4

Re: Performance issue with Oracle backed AMQ

Posted by Tim Bain <tb...@alumni.duke.edu>.
I've never heard of this particular problem being reported, but it should
be fairly straightforward to turn it into a top-N query by doing a
sub-select as described in
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2006/06-sep/o56asktom-086197.html.
Would you please submit an enhancement request in JIRA for this change?

BTW, have you had your DBA ensure that an optimal index is in place on the
table and that it's in good repair (Oracle indexes get cluttered with
deleted rows over time when your use pattern is frequent insertions and
deletions, so semi-regular rebuilds may be necessary.)
