[jira] Created: (HBASE-2832) Priorities and multi-threading for MemStore flushing

Priorities and multi-threading for MemStore flushing
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2832
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2832
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: regionserver
            Reporter: Jonathan Gray
            Assignee: Jonathan Gray
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 0.90.0


Similar to HBASE-1476 and HBASE-2646 which are for compactions, but do this for flushes.

Flushing when we hit the normal flush size is a low priority flush.  Other types of flushes (heap pressure, blocking client requests, etc) are high priority.

Should have a tunable number of concurrent flushes.

Will use the {{HBaseExecutorService}} and {{HBaseEventHandler}} introduced from master/zk changes.

Jonathan Gray updated HBASE-2832:
---------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.90.0)
                   0.92.0

Punting to 0.92 for now.  The bigger compaction/flush improvements should happen in that version.

Thanks for good review stack.

Let's get this event stuff right because it's a huge part of the master changes.

Yup, we can.  Will be EventType/EventHandler with master changes.  Requires the rest of the ZK cleanup to do the full changeover.

Not sure what you're saying with java beans classes?  You want to reuse those?  These are quite specialized.

We went over this stuff a few times when we did that big group review of that first master zk patch.

Basically what we ended up doing was trying to keep the places things are tied together (handlers, executors, types) in enums and in as few places as possible.  You add new executor service types in the ExecutorService class, but otherwise all the declaring/connecting of these things is done within HBaseEventHandler.

I tried a few different approaches to have prioritized stuff.

The underlying data structure expected by the java executor services are BlockingQueue<Runnable>.  It's trivial then to make the actual queue a PriorityBlockingQueue<Runnable> which then just requires whatever you put in there to implement Comparable<Runnable>.  In the compareTo we know that we will only be compared to other HBaseEventHandlers, so we can cast and do priority/FIFO comparisons.

I'm pretty open to other approaches (I did Comparable<HBaseEventHandler> in one attempt already) but this turned out to be the cleanest.  Now the handlers need only override a single getPriority() method rather than also be comparables themselves.

Being a Comparable<HBEventHandler> means we'll have to not use a java executor service directly, or have two separate queues.  It always starts to get a bit awkward which is why I ended up this way.

hmm, not so?  this is only RS event right now.  method immediately above it, getMasterExecutorForEvent(), is the same style and is already committed doing master open/close handlers.

case statements must use constants.  i could switch to else if?

i'm not totally clear on this int stuff with the enums.  on the event types, we actually persist them, so I understand wanting the byte/int value.  not sure here, we can just take it out?  there is intValue/value in there.

Need to figure out what to do here.  Wait indefinitely?

Basically, we shutdown the executor services gracefully at first (we let running and submitted tasks finish).  Then we'll wait for a certain period of time before interrupting the threads running.

I felt like it was weird to wait indefinitely but this was the behavior previously.  I guess I should set to 0?

(For example, MemStoreFlusher has a lock that prevents interruption while a flush is running, so it's equivalent to a graceful shutdown)

I suppose there is a difference here which is this also includes items waiting in the queue.

There is separation between what runs on master side and what runs on RS side.  Different mapings.

This may not even be necessary anymore, there was some reason for the separation, need to ask Karthik on this.

As per description, handling of this moved to FlushHandler.

It's not necessary for this one.  Some of the other events take multiple event types (for example, we share a handler for opening/opened events).

Will clean that up.

yeah it does.  seemed clearer to have the ints here i think.  i have gone back and forth several times and whether to have these ints in the enums or not, i'm not sure why i ended up with all of them having it.

so you think it's better i completely remove the ints?  what about in EventHandler where we persist it sometimes?

yup.  i had/have bigger plans to get rid of MemStoreFlusher so that FlushHandler actually does the checks and stuff.  For now it's still in the MemStoreFlusher thread and just the flushing is multi-threaded in here.

until that happens, same thing, that's why they call the same method, just a different log message.

so they do the same flush but they carry a different priority so will be executed in priority order.

Is this currently integrated in the master branch? If not, then either we finish and close it or punt to 0.92.0 as we have enough patches in flight.

Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-2832:
--------------------------------------

Priorities and multi-threading is added through EventHandlers/ExecutorService in the master branch.

This jira and HBASE-2375 (and HBASE-2399) will hopefully be done for 0.90 but cannot be done until after the master is merged in.  This should not be a blocker but I hope to do it for 0.90.  Will punt in a few weeks if it doesn't look likely.

ok

bq.      Not sure what you're saying with java beans classes?  You want to reuse those?  These are quite specialized.
bq.      
bq.      We went over this stuff a few times when we did that big group review of that first master zk patch.
bq.      
bq.      Basically what we ended up doing was trying to keep the places things are tied together (handlers, executors, types) in enums and in as few places as possible.  You add new executor service types in the ExecutorService class, but otherwise all the declaring/connecting of these things is done within HBaseEventHandler.

Regards the bean classes, they cannot be used here or there is nothing in them that can help here?

Yeah, we went over this stuff in reviews and there were the same problems then.  I thought we'd agreed to address them.  My review is just surfacing again what was issue then.

I thought we'd agreed to stuff like a handler per event type.

bq.  
bq.  Jonathan Gray wrote:
bq.      I tried a few different approaches to have prioritized stuff.
bq.      
bq.      The underlying data structure expected by the java executor services are BlockingQueue<Runnable>.  It's trivial then to make the actual queue a PriorityBlockingQueue<Runnable> which then just requires whatever you put in there to implement Comparable<Runnable>.  In the compareTo we know that we will only be compared to other HBaseEventHandlers, so we can cast and do priority/FIFO comparisons.
bq.      
bq.      I'm pretty open to other approaches (I did Comparable<HBaseEventHandler> in one attempt already) but this turned out to be the cleanest.  Now the handlers need only override a single getPriority() method rather than also be comparables themselves.
bq.      
bq.      Being a Comparable<HBEventHandler> means we'll have to not use a java executor service directly, or have two separate queues.  It always starts to get a bit awkward which is why I ended up this way.

Comparable<Runnable> punts completely on type checking.  It says less than nothing about whats going on.  We can't have an Interface that implements Comparable and Runnable and pass that?

My sense is that the design is broke if we're doing weird stuff like this (I've not dug in as you have -- just passing my sense).

Can't you use enums in switch statements?

It seems odd.  I can understand not wanting to use enum ordinals in case you want to insert events later but should be better way of doing this...

bq.  
bq.  Jonathan Gray wrote:
bq.      Need to figure out what to do here.  Wait indefinitely?
bq.      
bq.      Basically, we shutdown the executor services gracefully at first (we let running and submitted tasks finish).  Then we'll wait for a certain period of time before interrupting the threads running.
bq.      
bq.      I felt like it was weird to wait indefinitely but this was the behavior previously.  I guess I should set to 0?
bq.      
bq.      (For example, MemStoreFlusher has a lock that prevents interruption while a flush is running, so it's equivalent to a graceful shutdown)
bq.      
bq.      I suppose there is a difference here which is this also includes items waiting in the queue.

I ain't sure whats going on here exactly.  Just commenting that the 60 seconds is odd.

bq.      This may not even be necessary anymore, there was some reason for the separation, need to ask Karthik on this.

bq.      so you think it's better i completely remove the ints?  what about in EventHandler where we persist it sometimes?

You can persist the ordinal... Thats fine.  There is even method in enum to give you enum if you only have ordinal.

bq.      yup.  i had/have bigger plans to get rid of MemStoreFlusher so that FlushHandler actually does the checks and stuff.  For now it's still in the MemStoreFlusher thread and just the flushing is multi-threaded in here.
bq.      
bq.      until that happens, same thing, that's why they call the same method, just a different log message.
bq.      
bq.      so they do the same flush but they carry a different priority so will be executed in priority order.

k. maybe more comment so others ain't baffled as I?

[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2832) Priorities and multi-threading for MemStore flushing

(Updated 2010-07-12 21:41:44.943871)


Review request for hbase, stack, Karthik Ranganathan, and Kannan Muthukkaruppan.


Changes
-------

Fixes some issues introduced by also having executor services running on the RS-side.  Specifically, shutdown hooks to the HBaseExecutorService would shutdown and clear all executor pools, rather than just those of the shutting down server instance.

Now the map of services is always prefixed with the serverName and during shutdown we only actually shutdown those prefixed with the serverName.

More unit tests are now passing, still finish the suite.


Summary
-------

Adds support for priorities and concurrency to regionserver flushing.
- Adds support for RS-side events/handlers/executors
- Adds support for prioritized HBaseEventHandlers
- Flushing now happens through FlushHandler, a new HBaseEventHandler.  There is an RS_FLUSHER executor pool that defaults to two threads right now but is also checking a conf value.  There is a good bit of documentation in FlushHandler.
- Adds unit test TestFlushHandler.  There is a nicer way to detect when flushes finish now for other tests.
- Handling of FS errors is pushed into FlushHandler now.  The changes happening with the master rewrite introduce a ServerStatus interface (probably a RegionStatus for rs side) that will contain the necessary methods rather than using HRegionServer directly as is required for now.
- Something weird not passing in tests with multiple masters and regionservers, still working that out.


This addresses bug HBASE-2832.

 *     (checked before every memstore insertion)
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * There are 3 different types of flushes that correspond to these 6 events:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 *    Low Priority Flush
 *
 *    This occurs in response to #1.
 *
 *    This is the lowest priority flush and does not need any tricks.  All other
 *    flush types should be completed before any of this type are done.  The one
 *    optimization it has is that if it determines that a compaction would be
 *    triggered after the flush finished, it should cancel the flush and instead
 *    trigger a CompactAndFlush.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    High Priority Flush
 *
 *    This occurs in response to #2, #3, #6, and #7.
 *
 *    High priority flushes occur in response to memory pressure, WAL pressure,
 *    or because a user has asked for the flush.  These flushes should occur
 *    before any low priority flushes are processed.  They are only special
 *    because of their priority, otherwise the implementation of the flush is
 *    identical to a low priority flush.
 *
 *    This flush type explicitly does not contain the CompactAndFlush check
 *    because it wants to flush as fast as possible.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    High Priority Double Flush
 *
 *    TODO: Region closing currently does flushing in-band rather than through
 *          the flush queue.  Should move those into using handlers once we have
 *          blocking call.  Therefore, double-flush priority is not currently
 *          used.
 *
 *    TODO: Do we want a separate priority here once we do use this for closes?
 *          Or are they just high priority flushes?  The first one is even a
 *          low priority flush, second one high priority?
 *
 *    This occurs in response to #4.
 *
 *    When an HRegion is being closed (but not when a cluster is being quiesced)
 *    we want to minimize the amount of time the region is unavailable.  To do
 *    this we do a double flush.  A flush is done, then the region is closed,
 *    then an additional flush is done before the region is available to be
 *    re-opened.  This should happen when the Master asks a region to close
 *    because of reassignment.
 *
 *    This may also occur before splits to reduce the amount of time the parent
 *    is offline before the daughters come back online.
 * </li>
 * </ol>

[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2832) Priorities and multi-threading for MemStore flushing

Posted by "HBase Review Board (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Review request for hbase, stack, Karthik Ranganathan, and Kannan Muthukkaruppan.


Changes
-------

Incorporates changes I acknowledged from stack review.


Summary
-------

Adds support for priorities and concurrency to regionserver flushing.
- Adds support for RS-side events/handlers/executors
- Adds support for prioritized HBaseEventHandlers
- Flushing now happens through FlushHandler, a new HBaseEventHandler.  There is an RS_FLUSHER executor pool that defaults to two threads right now but is also checking a conf value.  There is a good bit of documentation in FlushHandler.
- Adds unit test TestFlushHandler.  There is a nicer way to detect when flushes finish now for other tests.
- Handling of FS errors is pushed into FlushHandler now.  The changes happening with the master rewrite introduce a ServerStatus interface (probably a RegionStatus for rs side) that will contain the necessary methods rather than using HRegionServer directly as is required for now.
- Something weird not passing in tests with multiple masters and regionservers, still working that out.


This addresses bug HBASE-2832.

Testing
-------

Adds TestFlushHandler which passes.  Working on getting unit tests passing now, something related to the ExecutorService.


Thanks,

Jonathan
