Dear colleagues, I would like to ask you for help with a performance problem on a site backed with ceph storage backend. Cluster details below.
I've got a big problem with PostgreSQL performance. It runs inside a VM with virtio-scsi ceph rbd image. And I see constant ~100% disk load with up to hundreds milliseconds latencies (via atop) even when pg_top shows 10-20 tps. All other resources are almost untouched - there is a lot of memory and free CPU cores, DB fits memory but still has performance issues. The cluster itself: nautilus 6 nodes, 7 SSD with 2 OSDs per SSD (14 OSDs in overall). Each node: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2665 v1 (governor = performance, powersaving disabled), 64GB RAM, Samsung SM863 1.92TB SSD, QDR Infiniband. I've made fio benchmarking with three type of measures: a VM with virtio-scsi driver, baremetal host with mounted rbd image and the same baremetal host with mounted lvm partition on SM863 SSD drive. I've set bs=8k (as Postgres writes 8k blocks) and tried 1 and 8 jobs. Here are some results: https://pastebin.com/TFUg5fqA Drives load on the OSD hosts are very low, just a few percent. Here is my ceph config: https://pastebin.com/X5ZwaUrF Numbers don't look very good from my point of view but they are also not really bad (are they?). But I don't really know the next direction I can go to solve the problem with PostgreSQL. I've tried to make an RAID0 with mdraid and 2 virtual drives but haven't noticed any difference. Could you please tell me: Are these performance numbers good or bad according to the hardware? Is it possible to tune anything more? May be you can point me to docs or other papers? Does any special VM tuning for the PostgreSQL\ceph cooperation exist? Thank you in advance! -- Best regards, Vladimir
