Hi Alex

 

We’re setting up some tests to compare the KV vs. CRDTs operations today and 
into tomorrow. I will status all with our findings.

 

Thank you again everyone for the responses!

Hi Dennis & Mark,

 

I noticed some timing code in your snippets:

 

 long beforeProcessing = DateTime.Now.Ticks;

 

Do you have any numbers on what an individual operation for KV vs CRDTs looks 
like on your system? (Mean, percentiles if possible) 

Also, how big are your KV objects? 

 

CRDTs will take extra processing on Riak's side, so I'm wondering if you're 
getting limited by a longer RTT + your 20 threads.  One easy thing to try would 
be to double the thread pool (and connections) and see if that shaves off any 
overall time by overlapping the time we're waiting for Riak to respond. 

 

If it doesn't, then we can look in other directions :)

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Mark / Dennis,

Can you provide the snippet of the code that puts a 5k record onto Riak as a 
map?

Hi folks, sorry for the confusion.

 

Our scenario is as follows:

 

We have a 6 node development cluster running on its own network segment using 
HAProxy to facilitate load-balancing across the nodes. A single Riak-dot-NET 
client service is performing the insert operations from dedicated hardware 
located within the same network segment. We have basic network throughput 
capabilities of 100 Mbit with an average speed achievable of 75 Mbit.

 

The data we are attempting to insert is composed of phone call record receipts 
from telephone carriers. These records are batched and written to a flat file 
for incorporation into our reporting engine. 1) Our Riak client process takes a 
flat file (In this case, a 40MB collection of records, each record being 
approximately 5k in size) and parses the entire file so each record can be 
added to a local .NET queue.

2) Once the entire file has been parsed and each record loaded into the local 
queue, 20 threads are spawned and connections are opened to our Riak nodes via 
the HAProxy.

3) Each thread will pull a 5k record from the queue on a first come first 
served basis and perform a put to the Riak environment.

 

When first testing our client insert process, we were pushing the 5K records as 
whole strings into the Riak environment. Network throughput topped out at 
around 80 Mbits with a total load time of 90 seconds for 149k records. When the 
client process was modified (same queuing and de-queuing methods) so that a map 
datatype bucket would be created and keys stored as registers, we saw network 
throughput drop to around 10 Mbit with total upload time increase to around 270 
seconds for the 149k records.  

 

It appears as though we’ve either encountered a potential bottleneck unrelated 
to network throughput, or we’re just seeing an expected processing penalty for 
our use of Riak datatypes. Please note, we’re configuring Zabbix so we can 
monitor disk IO on each node as processor and memory resources don’t appear to 
be the culprit either.

 

If the reduction in processing speed is a natural consequence to utilizing Riak 
data types, is the inter-node network the optimum place to increase resources? 
Our eventual datacenter implementation will support speeds of over 40 Gbit for 
inter-node communication. We’re just trying to identify which levers from an 
operational standpoint we can throw to boost performance, or if our client 
implementation is suspect. 

 

You bring up some excellent points regarding our use of CRDTs. In our case, the 
call data records are mutable as they are subject to changes by phone carriers 
for billing error corrections, incorrect data and a host of other reasons. We 
may be better served by treating the records as immutable and performing wide 
scale record removal and “reprocessing” in the event changes to existing 
records are received/requested.

 

Thank you,

 

Mark Schmidt

Subject: Re: Using Bucket Data Types slowed insert performance

 

Let's talk about Riak data types for a moment. Riak data types are collectively 
implementations of what academia refer to as CRDT's (convergent or conflict 
free replicated data types.) The key benefit a CRDT offers, over a traditional 
KV by contrast, is in automatic conflict resolution. The various CRDT's 
provided in Riak have specific conflict resolution strategies. This does not 
come for free. There is a computational cost associated with CRDT's. If your 
use case requires automated conflict resolution strategies than CRDT's are a 
good fit. Internally CRDT's rely on vector clocks (see DVV's in the 
documentation) to resolve conflict. 

 

Considering your ETL use case I'm going to presume that your data is immutable 
(I could very well be wrong here.) If your data is immutable I would consider 
simply using a KV and not paying the CRDT computational penalty (and possibly 
even the write once bucket.) The CRDT penalty you pay is obviously subjective 
to your use case, configuration, hw deployment etc. 

 

Hope that helps!

Hi Dennis,

 

It's a bit unclear what you are trying to do here. Are you 1. uploading the 
entire file and saving it to one key with the value being the file? Or are you 
2. parsing the file and storing each row as a register in a map? 

 

Either of those approaches are not appropriate in Riak KV. For the first case I 
would point you to Riak S2 which is designed to manage large binary object 
storage. You can keep the large file as a single addressable entity and access 
it via Amazon S3 or Swift protocol. For the second case I would consider 
maintaining one key (map) per row in the file and have a register per column in 
the row. Or not use Riak data types (maps, sets, registers, flags and counters) 
and simply keep each row in the file as a KV in Riak either as a raw string or 
as a serialized json string. ETL'ing out of relational databases and into Riak 
is a very common use case and often implemented in the fashion I described. 

 

As Chris mentioned, soft upper bound on value size should be 1MB. I say soft 
because we won't enforce it although there are settings in the config that can 
be changed to enforce it (default 5MB warning, 50MB reject I believe.) 

Best,

Alexander

Hi Dennis,

I am not the most experienced, but what I do know is that a file that size 
causes a great deal of network chatter because it has to handoff that data to 
the other nodes in the network and will cause delays in Riak's ability to send 
and confirm consistency across the ring. Typically we recommend that you try to 
structure your objects to around 1mb or less to ensure consistent performance. 
That max object size can vary of course based on your network / server specs 
and configuration.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

 

I’m using .net RiakClient 2.0 to insert a 44mb delimited file with 139k rows of

taking about 3 times longer to insert into this bucket vs non data typed

Thanks in advance,
