> Hit ratio drops with high concurrency
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: TS-3395
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3395
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Cache
> Reporter: Luca Bruno
> Fix For: 5.3.0

>
> I'm doing some tests and I've noticed that the hit ratio drops with more than
> 300 simultaneous http connections.
> The cache is on a raw disk of 500gb and it's not filled, so no eviction. The
> ram cache is disabled.
> The test is done with web-polygraph. Content size vary from 5kb to 20kb
> uniformly, expected hit ratio 60%, 2000 http connections, documents expire
> after months. There's no Vary.

> Then I thought it could be a problem of polygraph. I wrote my own
> client/server test code, it works fine also with squid, varnish and nginx. I
> register a hit if I get either cR or cH in the headers.

> So similar results, 37.20% on average. Then I thought that could be a problem
> of how I'm testing stuff, and tried with nginx cache. It achieves 60% hit
> ratio, but request rate is very slow compared to ATS for obvious reasons.
> Then I wanted to check if with 200 connections but with longer test time hit
> ratio also dropped, but no, it's fine:
> !http://i.imgur.com/oMHscuf.png!
> So not a problem of my tests I guess.
> Then I realized by debugging the test server that the same url was asked
> twice.
> Out of 1000000 requests, 78600 urls were asked at least twice. An url was
> even requested 9 times. These same url are not requested close to each other:
> even more than 30sec can pass from one request to the other for the same url.
> I also tweaked the following parameters:
> {noformat}
> CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.fuzz.time INT 0
> CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.fuzz.min_time INT 0
> CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.fuzz.probability FLOAT 0.000000
> CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_read_retries INT 4
> CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.open_read_retry_time INT 500
> {noformat}
> And this is the result with polygraph, similar results:
> !http://i.imgur.com/YgOndhY.png!
> Tweaked the read-while-writer option, and yet having similar results.
> Then I've enabled 1GB of ram, it is slightly better at the beginning, but
> then it drops:
> !http://i.imgur.com/dFTJI16.png!
> traffic_top says 25% ram hit, 37% fresh, 63% cold.
> So given that it doesn't seem to be a concurrency problem when requesting the
> url to the origin server, could it be a problem of concurrent write access to
> the cache? So that some pages are not cached at all? The traffoc_top fresh
> percentage also makes me think it can be a problem in writing the cache.
> Not sure if I explained the problem correctly, ask me further information in
> case. But in summary: hit ratio drops with a high number of connections, and
> the problem seems related to pages that are not written to the cache.
> This is some related issue:
