Parallel tests in ANT, experiment volunteers welcome :)
I've been quietly working on an ANT task that would run tests in
isolated JVMs, similar to what Lucene build files do using macros and
selectors. It's been fun and I was finally able to integrate a few
other features I've always wanted (like detailed progress listeners),
but it's another story.
If you have a multi-multi-core machine (or if you don't and want to
provide some feedback) then please run the following script/ commands:
# get the code from my github fork:
git clone git@github.com:dweiss/lucene-solr.git --depth 1 -b junit4
cd lucene-solr/lucene
# Get a baseline for core tests running on trunk/ant macros.
git checkout trunk
ant test-core -Dtestcase=compileonly
# This is a single run and it depends on the seed, but we'll consider
it a baseline -> write down the execution time or remember it.
ant test-core -Dtests.seed=random
# Switch over to junit4 branch and recompile.
git checkout junit4
ant test-core -Dtestcase=compileonly
# An initial pass collects statistics; these can be stored with the
project to bootstrap,
# but for now they're zero. Adjust the number of CPUs to your system:
# typically, you'll want the physical number of cores - 1 (reserved
for the aggregator).
# tests.seed is set to an empty value because junit4 and ltc use a
different format! So there
# will be some variability across test executions (and that's good
because estimates will vary).
ant test-core -Dtests.seed= -Dtests.cpus=4
ant test-core -Dtests.seed= -Dtests.cpus=4
ant test-core -Dtests.seed= -Dtests.cpus=4
# with each run the estimates (shown up front) should be getting
closer to the real execution
# time for each slave. They will not be exact because of randomness,
but should be fairly close. For example
# I get:
# [junit4] Expected execution time on slave 0: 233.94s
# [junit4] Expected execution time on slave 3: 233.94s
# [junit4] Expected execution time on slave 1: 233.95s
# [junit4] Expected execution time on slave 2: 233.95s
#
# and the real times:
#
I would very much appreciate feedback on (including but not limited to):
1) If something is not working. The tests hung on my machine once, the
slave JVM wasn't responsive,
it didn't even dump a stack trace, didn't react to kill -QUIT, nothing.
2) Is test execution faster than the baseline? By how much? For
multi-multi-cores, if you have time
how does execution time correlate with tests.cpus (I assume memory
bandwidth or disk will be the
bottleneck at some point).
3) Did you enjoy the sweet hum of cpu fans? For zero-noise systems:
you better crank up those pumps or put something cold on the cpu unit
:)
Thanks,

I like this too and I'm sure there'll be plenty of places where
helping hands will be more than welcome :)
Side note -- Maven surefire has built-in support for parallel builds
(forked) too, didn't have the time to check how they handled some of
the issued we mentioned.

as long as the default "ant test" does recursive testing of "ant test"
in the individual modules with their isolated classpaths to ensure no
dependency bleedover, a special case top level "ant
run-all-tests-parallel" target that unions all hte classpaths seems
like it might be acceptible for things like continuously randomized
test only jenkins builds.
but i wonder if reproducibility might be a problem? if you don't get the
same classpath, and some classes are loaded i na diff order, would you be
able to "cd modules/foo && ant test -D..." and see the same failures?

Right... looks like most of the gains are by 10 CPUs. Still I'll take
10 seconds ;)

OK.... we lose a lot because of this. Though, I haven't tried w/ your
git clone -- can it run a top-level "ant test" and it does the load
balancing by module...?

The Python runner completely cheats here, which is bad (because we may

the union of all CLASSPATHS.

I would say this is aligned with my intuition -- after you exceed the

This is probably because some tests don't add anything to CPU load
(they're disk bound or use the network)? The speedup is also not that
significant -- adding 15 cpus only yielded about 10 secs.

Oh, you mean ANT compile/ execution time before actual testing? No, I
don't include that -- the execution time is actual spawned jvms.

Could be done by emitting test class/ classpath names from each module
and then running a final testing task that would execute whatever was
appended to the current run... but it seems clumsy to me, don't know
how to do it better though.

Yeah, that would be one thing -- different classpaths/ vm properties
etc. This could be problematic.

Thanks. I'm still working on the rough edges (like reporting a jvm
crash, there were problems with ibm j9) and Stanislaw is preparing a
nice(r) test report. We will contribute a patch once this is done and
if there is interest we would love to contribute this in.

Beast has two 6-core CPUs (x5680 xeons), so 12 real cores (24
withhyperthreading).

In the past I found somewhere around 20 was good w/ the
Pythonrunner... but I went and tested again!
With the Python runner I see these run times on just lucene core tests:
2 cpus: 72.2 sec 5 cpus: 35.0 sec 10 cpus: 28.1 sec 15 cpus:
26.2 sec 20 cpus: 26.0 sec 25 cpus: 27.5 sec
So seems like after 15 cores it's not helping much... but then I ranon
all tests (well minus a few intermittently failing tests):
10 cpus: 88.3 sec 15 cpus: 80.2 sec 20 cpus: 77.4 sec 25 cpus: 76.7 sec
The above were just running on beast, but the Python runner can
sendjobs (hacked up, just using ssh) to other machines... I have two
othernon-beasts, and which I ran 3 jvms on each:
25 + 3 + 3 cpus: 64.7 sec

I only ran once each and results are likely noisy... so it's hard to
pick a best CPU count...

Yes I think that's the problem!
Ideally ant would just gather up all "jobs" to run and then
we'daggregate/distribute across JVMs.

Hmm... can we somehow keep today's directory structure but have
anttreat it as a single "module"? Or is the problem that we need
tochange the JVM settings (eg CLASSPATH) per test module we havetoday
so we must make separate modules for that...?

OK cool :) Actually it doesn't open any SSH sessions unless you
giveit remote machines to use -- for the "local" JVMs it just forks.

I re-ran above -- looks like the times came down some so the new
antrunner is basically the same as the Python runner (on core tests):
great!

I don't think it's running with a fixed seed. The problem is that
junit4 has the same property to control seed (tests.seed) but a
different seed format; that's why I suggested a few runs and
specifying an empty seed (which is compatible with junit4 and ltc).

I was thinking to do job stealing but then comes the issue of
reproducibility (the order of suites sent to a particular jvm) in case
the jvm crashes or something. Technically it's easy to do, but after
some deliberation I opted for a fixed list of seeds per slave (then
you can re-run with the same list because it's on disk, passed as a
parameter).
@Hoss:

Most likely not. Classpath variations will be an issue. Now that I
think of it even load-balancing will be an issue if it's to be
calculated from repeatedly updated data. On the other hand, if
balancing is calculated from a fixed set of precomputed statistics the
quality may vary from system to system... again no good solutions for
this I guess.

It is strange... because I'm running w/ fixed seed, RAMDir and
Lucene40 codec. There shouldn't be much variance...
The Python runner pre-aggregates the tests into a JVM run, but, it
tries to put ~ 30 seconds worth of tests per JVM, and then front-loads
for any tests that take > 30 seconds (that test runs alone in the
JVM). So then it's just pulling from that priority queue...
This is somewhat wasteful in that the Python runner is running more
JVMs than the new ant runner, but I do this because the tests can have
such variability on run time... so I think the net effect is just like
job stealing except the Python runner is launching new JVMs to
"steal".

This is weird -- such discrepancy shouldn't happen after it has some
initial timings unless there was a really skewed test case inside. I
do all per-vm suite balancing beforehand and don't adjust once the
execution is in progress (probably using job stealing); maybe this is
a mistake that should be corrected. Then the order of suites should be
reported in case of a failure and if you have 20 slaves this would be
a fairly large log ;)

Hmm so does that include compile time (my numbers don't)? Sounds like
no? I'm also measuring from first launch to last finish.

Yes I think that's the problem!
Ideally ant would just gather up all "jobs" to run and then we'd
aggregate/distribute across JVMs.

Hmm... can we somehow keep today's directory structure but have ant
treat it as a single "module"? Or is the problem that we need to
change the JVM settings (eg CLASSPATH) per test module we have
today so we must make separate modules for that...?

OK cool :) Actually it doesn't open any SSH sessions unless you give
it remote machines to use -- for the "local" JVMs it just forks.

I re-ran above -- looks like the times came down some so the new ant
runner is basically the same as the Python runner (on core tests):
great!

Beast has two 6-core CPUs (x5680 xeons), so 12 real cores (24
withhyperthreading).

In the past I found somewhere around 20 was good w/ the
Pythonrunner... but I went and tried again!
With the Python runner I see these run times on just lucene core tests:
2 cpus: 72.2 sec 5 cpus: 35.0 sec 10 cpus: 28.1 sec 15 cpus:
26.2 sec 20 cpus: 26.0 sec 25 cpus: 27.5 sec
So seems like after 15 cores it's not helping much... but then I ranon
all tests (well minus a few intermittently failing tests):
10 cpus: 88.3 sec 15 cpus: 80.2 sec 20 cpus: 77.4 sec 25 cpus: 76.7 sec
The above were just running on beast, but the Python runner can

I forgot how nasty your beast computer is... 20 slaves?! Remind me how
many actual (real) cores do you have? Did you experiment with
different slave numbers? I ask because I noticed that:
1) it makes little sense to run cpu-intense tests on hyper-cores,
doesn't yield much if anything,
2) you should leave some room for system vm threads (GC, compilers);
the more VMs, the more room you'll need.
> Does the "Execution time total" include compilation, or is it just the

The total is calculated before slave VMs are launched and after they
complete, so even launch time is included. It's here:

If I understand you correctly the problem is that ANT in Lucene/ Solr
is calling to sub-module ANT scripts and these in turn invoke the test
macro. So running everything from a single test task would be possible
if we had a master-level test script, it's not directly related to how
the tests are actually executed. That JUnit4 task supports globbing in
suite selectors so it could be executed with, say,
-Dtests.class=org.apache.lucene.blah.* to restrict tests to run just a
certain section of all tests, but include everything by default.
Don't know how it affects modularization though -- the tests will run
faster but they'll be more difficult to maintain I guess.

I ran this a few times:

Does the "Execution time total" include compilation, or is it just the
actual test runtime?
Can this change run "across" the different groups of tests we have
(core, modules/*, contrib/*, solr/*, etc.)? I found that to be a
major bottleneck in the current "ant test"'s concurrency, ie we have a
pinch point after each group of tests (must wait for all JVMs to
finish before moving on to next group...), but I think fixing that in
ant is going to be hard?
When I use the hacked up Python test runner (runAllTests.py in
luceneutil), running only core tests w/ RAMDir and Lucene40 codec it
takes ~30 seconds; I think it's doing roughly the same thing as this
change (balancing the tests across JVMs). BUT: that's on current
trunk, vs your git clone which is somewhat old by now... so it's an
apples/pears comparison ;)

I think i got to the bottom of this. Depending upon your seed, 95% of
the time a test gets "RamDirectory" but 5% of the time it gets a
file-system backed implementation.
Because of this, depending upon environment, test times swing wildly
because of fsync(). For example in the last nightly build we fsynced
over 7,000 times in tests.
This is really crazy and I want to prolong the life of my SSD: see my
latest comment with a fix on LUCENE-3667. With that patch my times are
no longer swinging wildly.
(easy way to see what i am talking about: just run tests with
-Dtests.directory=MMapDirectory or something like that)

Thanks Robert. Yes, the variation in certain suites is pretty large --
if you open the generated execution times cache you can see the
timings for each test suite. I've seen differences going into tens of
seconds depending on the seed (and the environment?). What are your
timing for ant-based splits? Roughly the same?

I updated the code and it works with Ant 1.7.1 now. I also noticed
parameters are parsed slightly different (maybe it's windows), so you
need to quote to pass an empty parameter as in:
ant test-core "-Dtests.seed=" -Dtests.cpus=7

Robert just informed me that there is an exception coming out from ANT
if you run it with ANT 1.7.1. Don't know if it's a known issue, but I
use ANT 1.8.x and the problem is not present there.
