Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

results below is that the latency happens within the OSD processes.

When I suggested other tests, I meant with and without Ceph. One
particular one is OSD bench. That should be interesting to try at a
variety of block sizes. You could also try runnin RADOS bench and
smalliobench at a few different sizes.

Hi Christian,

Do you have tried without raid6, to have more osd ?

Aslo, I known that direct ios can be quite slow with ceph,

maybe can you try without --direct=1

and also enable rbd_cache

ceph.conf
[client]
rbd cache = true

Hello,

ceph 0.72 on Debian Jessie, 2 storage nodes with 2 OSDs each.
The journals are on (separate) DC 3700s, the actual OSDs are
RAID6 behind an Areca 1882 with 4GB of cache.

Running this fio:

fio --size=400m --ioengine=libaio --invalidate=1 --direct=1
--numjobs=1 --rw=randwrite --name=fiojob --blocksize=4k
--iodepth=128

results in:

30k IOPS on the journal SSD (as expected)
110k IOPS on the OSD (it fits neatly into the cache, no surprise
there) 3200 IOPS from a VM using userspace RBD
2900 IOPS from a host kernelspace mounted RBD

When running the fio from the VM RBD the utilization of the
journals is about 20% (2400 IOPS) and the OSDs are bored at 2%
(1500 IOPS after some obvious merging).
The OSD processes are quite busy, reading well over 200% on
atop, but the system is not CPU or otherwise resource starved
at that moment.

Running multiple instances of this test from several VMs on
different hosts changes nothing, as in the aggregated IOPS for
the whole cluster will still be around 3200 IOPS.

Now clearly RBD has to deal with latency here, but the network
is IPoIB with the associated low latency and the journal SSDs
are the (consistently) fasted ones around.

I guess what I am wondering about is if this is normal and to be
expected or if not where all that potential performance got
lost.

Hmm, with 128 IOs at a time (I believe I'm reading that
correctly?)

Yes, but going down to 32 doesn't change things one iota.
Also note the multiple instances I mention up there, so that would
be 256 IOs at a time, coming from different hosts over different
links and nothing changes.


that's about 40ms of latency per op (for userspace RBD), which
seems awfully long. You should check what your client-side
objecter settings are; it might be limiting you to fewer
outstanding ops than that.

Googling for client-side objecter gives a few hits on ceph devel
and bugs and nothing at all as far as configuration options are
concerned. Care to enlighten me where one can find those?

Also note the kernelspace (3.13 if it matters) speed, which is
very much in the same (junior league) ballpark.


If
it's available to you, testing with Firefly or even master would
be interesting — there's some performance work that should reduce
latencies.


Not an option, this is going into production next week.


But a well-tuned (or even default-tuned, I thought) Ceph cluster
certainly doesn't require 40ms/op, so you should probably run a
wider array of experiments to try and figure out where it's
coming from.

I think we can rule out the network, NPtcp gives me:
---
56: 4096 bytes 1546 times --> 979.22 Mbps in 31.91 usec
---

For comparison at about 512KB it reaches maximum throughput and
still isn't that laggy:
---
98: 524288 bytes 121 times --> 9700.57 Mbps in 412.35 usec
---

So with the network performing as well as my lengthy experience
with IPoIB led me to believe, what else is there to look at?
The storage nodes perform just as expected, indicated by the local
fio tests.

That pretty much leaves only Ceph/RBD to look at and I'm not
really sure what experiments I should run on that. ^o^

Christian

Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

2014-06-13 Thread Josef Johansson
ont of
a RAID/JBODs or using SSDs for final storage?

If so, what results do you get out of the fio statement below per OSD?
In my case with 4 OSDs and 3200 IOPS that's about 800 IOPS per OSD,
which is of course vastly faster than the normal indvidual HDDs could
do.

So I'm wondering if I'm hitting some inherent limitation of how fast a
single OSD (as in the software) can handle IOPS, given that everything
else has been ruled out from where I stand.

This would also explain why none of the option changes or the use of
RBD caching has any measurable effect in the test case below.
As in, a slow OSD aka single HDD with journal on the same disk would
clearly benefit from even the small 32MB standard RBD cache, while in
my test case the only time the caching becomes noticeable is if I
increase the cache size to something larger than the test data size.
^o^

On the other hand if people here regularly get thousands or tens of
thousands IOPS per OSD with the appropriate HW I'm stumped.

The %user CPU utilization is pretty much entirely the 2 OSD processes,
note the nearly complete absence of iowait.

sda and sdb are the OSDs RAIDs, sdc and sdd are the journal SSDs.
Look at these numbers, the lack of queues, the low wait and service
times (this is in ms) plus overall utilization.

The only conclusion I can draw from these numbers and the network
results below is that the latency happens within the OSD processes.

Maybe this is off the topic, AFAIK "--iodepth=128" doesn't submits 128
IOs at a time.
There is a option of fio "iodepth_batch_submit=int",  which defaults
to 1, makes fio submit
each IO as soon as it is available.

The %user CPU utilization is pretty much entirely the 2 OSD processes,
note the nearly complete absence of iowait.

sda and sdb are the OSDs RAIDs, sdc and sdd are the journal SSDs.
Look at these numbers, the lack of queues, the low wait and service
times (this is in ms) plus overall utilization.

The only conclusion I can draw from these numbers and the network
results below is that the latency happens within the OSD processes.

When I suggested other tests, I meant with and without Ceph. One
particular one is OSD bench. That should be interesting to try at a
variety of block sizes. You could also try runnin RADOS bench and

Hello,

ceph 0.72 on Debian Jessie, 2 storage nodes with 2 OSDs each. The
journals are on (separate) DC 3700s, the actual OSDs are RAID6
behind an Areca 1882 with 4GB of cache.

Running this fio:

fio --size=400m --ioengine=libaio --invalidate=1 --direct=1
--numjobs=1 --rw=randwrite --name=fiojob --blocksize=4k
--iodepth=128

results in:

30k IOPS on the journal SSD (as expected)
110k IOPS on the OSD (it fits neatly into the cache, no surprise
there) 3200 IOPS from a VM using userspace RBD
2900 IOPS from a host kernelspace mounted RBD

When running the fio from the VM RBD the utilization of the
journals is about 20% (2400 IOPS) and the OSDs are bored at 2%
(1500 IOPS after some obvious merging).
The OSD processes are quite busy, reading well over 200% on atop,
but the system is not CPU or otherwise resource starved at that
moment.

Running multiple instances of this test from several VMs on
different hosts changes nothing, as in the aggregated IOPS for
the whole cluster will still be around 3200 IOPS.

Now clearly RBD has to deal with latency here, but the network is
IPoIB with the associated low latency and the journal SSDs are
the (consistently) fasted ones around.

I guess what I am wondering about is if this is normal and to be
expected or if not where all that potential performance got lost.

Hmm, with 128 IOs at a time (I believe I'm reading that correctly?)

Yes, but going down to 32 doesn't change things one iota.
Also note the multiple instances I mention up there, so that would
be 256 IOs at a time, coming from different hosts over different
links and nothing changes.


that's about 40ms of latency per op (for userspace RBD), which
seems awfully long. You should check what your client-side objecter
settings are; it might be limiting you to fewer outstanding ops
than that.

Googling for client-side objecter gives a few hits on ceph devel and
bugs and nothing at all as far as configuration options are
concerned. Care to enlighten me where one can find those?

Also note the kernelspace (3.13 if it matters) speed, which is very
much in the same (junior league) ballpark.


If
it's available to you, testing with Firefly or even master would be
interesting — there's some performance work that should reduce
latencies.


Not an option, this is going into production next week.


But a well-tuned (or even default-tuned, I thought) Ceph cluster
certainly doesn't require 40ms/

Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

2014-05-14 Thread Josef Johansson
Hi Christian,

I missed this thread, haven't been reading the list that well the last
weeks.

You already know my setup, since we discussed it in an earlier thread. I
don't have a fast backing store, but I see the slow IOPS when doing
randwrite inside the VM, with rbd cache. Still running dumpling here though.

A thought struck me that I could test with a pool that consists of OSDs
that have tempfs-based disks, think I have a bit more latency than your
IPoIB but I've pushed 100k IOPS with the same network devices before.
This would verify if the problem is with the journal disks. I'll also
try to run the journal devices in tempfs as well, as it would test
purely Ceph itself.

I'll get back to you with the results, hopefully I'll manage to get them
done during this night.

Cheers,
Josef

Sorry, can test for write, don't have ssd journal for now.
I'll try to send result when I'll have my ssd cluster.

(But I remember some talk from Sage saying than indeed small direct write could 
be pretty slow,
 that why rbd_cache is recommended, to aggregate small writes in bigger one)

You didn't specify what you did, but i assume you did read test. 
Those scale, as in running fio in multiple VMs in parallel gives me about 
6200 IOPS each, so much better than the 7200 for a single one. 
And yes, the client CPU is quite busy. 

However my real, original question is about writes. And they are stuck at 
3200 IOPS, cluster wide, no matter how many parallel VMs are running fio...

Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

2014-05-13 Thread Alexandre DERUMIER
I have just done some test,

with fio-rbd,
(http://telekomcloud.github.io/ceph/2014/02/26/ceph-performance-analysis_fio_rbd.html)

directly from the kvm host,(not from the vm).


1 fio job: around 8000iops
2 differents parralel fio job (on different rbd volume) : around 8000iops by 
fio job !

cpu on client is at 100%
cpu of osd are around 70%/1core now.


So, seem to have a bottleneck client side somewhere.

(I remember some tests from Stefan Priebe on this mailing, with a full ssd 
cluster,
 having almost same results)

Yes, this is 6-7 year old server. (this xeons were released in 2007...) 

So, it miss some features like crc32 and sse4 for examples, which can help a 
lot ceph 



(I'll try to do some osd tuning (threads,...) to see if I can improve 
performance.

Your cluster isn't that old (the CPUs are in the same ballpark) and has 12 
OSDs instead of my 4. Plus it has the supposedly faster firefly. ^o^ 

Remember, all this is coming from RAM, so what it boils down is CPU 
(memory and bus transfer speeds) and of course your network. 
Which is probably why your cluster isn't even more faster than mine. 

Either way, that number isn't anywhere near 4000 read IOPS per OSD either, 
yours is about 500, mine about 1000...

This seem pretty low,

I can get around 6000iops seq or rand read,
with a pretty old cluster

3 nodes cluster (replication x3), firefly, kernel 3.10, xfs, no tuning in 
ceph.conf

each node:
--
-2x quad xeon E5430  @ 2.66GHz
-4 osd, seageate 7,2k sas   (with 512MB cache on controller).  (journal on same 
disk than osd, no dedicated ssd)
-2 gigabit link (lacp)
-switch cisco 2960



each osd process are around 30% 1core during benchmark
no disk access (pagecache on ceph nodes)

That's and interesting find indeed.

The CPU to OSD chart clearly assumes the OSD to be backed by spinning rust
or doing 4MB block transactions. 
As stated before, at the 4KB blocksize below one OSD eats up slightly over
2 cores on the 4332HE at full speed.

Node that this a read test and like nearly all IOPS statements utterly
worthless unless qualified by things as block size, working set size, type
of I/O (random or sequential).

For what it's worth, my cluster gives me 4100 IOPS with the sequential fio
run below and 7200 when doing random reads (go figure). Of course I made
sure these came come the pagecache of the storage nodes, no disk I/O
reported at all and the CPUs used just 1 core per OSD.

Just found this:

https://objects.dreamhost.com/inktankweb/Inktank_Hardware_Configuration_Guide.pdf

page12:

" Note: As of Ceph Dumpling release (10/2013), a per-OSD read performance is 
approximately 4,000 IOPS and a per node limit of around 
35,000 IOPS when doing reads directly from pagecache. This appears to indicate

high performance SSDs."


Maybe Intank could comment about the 4000iops by osd ?

No, if you look back to the last year December "Sanity check..." thread 
by me, it gives the reasons. 
In short, highest density (thus replication of 2 and to make that safe 
based on RAID6) and operational maintainability (it is a remote data 
center, so replacing broken disks is a pain). 

That cluster is fast enough for my purposes and that fio test isn't a 
typical load for it when it goes into production. 
But for designing a general purpose or high performance Ceph cluster in 
the future I'd really love to have this mystery solved.

It might, but at the IOPS I'm seeing anybody using SSD for file storage 
should have screamed out already. 
Also given the CPU usage I'm seeing during that test run such a setup 
would probably require 32+ cores.

But for designing a general purpose or high performance Ceph cluster in
the future I'd really love to have this mystery solved.

It might, but at the IOPS I'm seeing anybody using SSD for file storage
should have screamed out already. 
Also given the CPU usage I'm seeing during that test run such a setup
would probably require 32+ cores.

Hi Christian,

I'm going to test a full ssd cluster in coming months,
I'll send result on the mailing.


Do you have tried to use 1 osd by physical disk ? (without raid6)

Maybe they are bottleneck in osd daemon, 
and using osd daemon by disk could help.

I'm clearly talking to myself, but whatever. 

For Greg, I've played with all the pertinent journal and filestore options 
and TCP nodelay, no changes at all. 

Is there anybody on this ML who's running a Ceph cluster with a fast 
network and FAST filestore, so like me with a big HW cache in front of a 
RAID/JBODs or using SSDs for final storage? 

If so, what results do you get out of the fio statement below per OSD? 
In my case with 4 OSDs and 3200 IOPS that's about 800 IOPS per OSD, which 
is of course vastly faster than the normal indvidual HDDs could do. 

So I'm wondering if I'm hitting some inherent limitation of how fast a 
single OSD (as in the software) can handle IOPS, given that everything else 
has been ruled out from where I stand. 

This would also explain why none of the option changes or the use of 
RBD caching has any measurable effect in the test case below. 
As in, a slow OSD aka single HDD with journal on the same disk would 
clearly benefit from even the small 32MB standard RBD cache, while in my 
test case the only time the caching becomes noticeable is if I increase 
the cache size to something larger than the test data size. ^o^ 

On the other hand if people here regularly get thousands or tens of

Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

2014-05-13 Thread Christian Balzer

I'm clearly talking to myself, but whatever.

For Greg, I've played with all the pertinent journal and filestore options
and TCP nodelay, no changes at all.

Is there anybody on this ML who's running a Ceph cluster with a fast
network and FAST filestore, so like me with a big HW cache in front of a
RAID/JBODs or using SSDs for final storage?

If so, what results do you get out of the fio statement below per OSD?
In my case with 4 OSDs and 3200 IOPS that's about 800 IOPS per OSD, which
is of course vastly faster than the normal indvidual HDDs could do.

So I'm wondering if I'm hitting some inherent limitation of how fast a
single OSD (as in the software) can handle IOPS, given that everything else
has been ruled out from where I stand.

This would also explain why none of the option changes or the use of
RBD caching has any measurable effect in the test case below. 
As in, a slow OSD aka single HDD with journal on the same disk would
clearly benefit from even the small 32MB standard RBD cache, while in my
test case the only time the caching becomes noticeable is if I increase
the cache size to something larger than the test data size. ^o^

On the other hand if people here regularly get thousands or tens of

In the a "picture" being worth a thousand words tradition, I give you

The %user CPU utilization is pretty much entirely the 2 OSD processes,
note the nearly complete absence of iowait.

sda and sdb are the OSDs RAIDs, sdc and sdd are the journal SSDs.
Look at these numbers, the lack of queues, the low wait and service
times (this is in ms) plus overall utilization.

The only conclusion I can draw from these numbers and the network results
below is that the latency happens within the OSD processes.

As I wrote, this cluster will go into production next week, so it's
neither full nor fragmented. 
I'd also think any severe fragmentation would show up in high device
utilization, something I stated that's not present.

In fact after all the initial testing I did defrag the OSDs a few days ago,
not that they actually needed it.
Because for starters it is ext4, not xfs, see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ceph-users@lists.ceph.com/msg08619.html
 
For what it's worth, I never got an answer to the actual question in that
mail.

Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

2014-05-08 Thread Udo Lembke
Hi,
I think not that's related, but how full is your ceph-cluster? Perhaps
it's has something to do with the fragmentation on the xfs-filesystem
(xfs_db -c frag -r device)?

Already at 10 (for some weeks now). ^o^

How that setting relates to the actual 220 threads per OSD process is a
mystery for another day.

6.
The OSDs get busy (CPU, not IOWAIT), but there still are 1-2 cores idle at
that point.

osd use 2 threads by default (could explain the 200%)

maybe can you try to put in ceph.conf

osd op threads = 8 


(don't known how many cores you have)

I keep repeating myself, neither the journal devices nor the OSDs seem to 
be under any particular load or pressure (utilization) according iostat 
and atop during the tests.

I keep repeating myself, neither the journal devices nor the OSDs seem to
be under any particular load or pressure (utilization) according iostat
and atop during the tests.

I doubt that based on what I see in terms of local performance and actual 
utilization figures according to iostat and atop during the tests. 

But if that were to be true, how would one see if that's the case, as in 
where in the plethora of data from: 

ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-osd.0.asok perf dump 

is the data I'd be looking for?

I already did the local tests, as in w/o Ceph, see the original mail below. 

And you might recall me doing rados benches as well in another thread 2 
weeks ago or so. 

In either case, osd benching gives me: 
--- 
# time ceph tell osd.0 bench 
{ "bytes_written": 1073741824, 
"blocksize": 4194304, 
"bytes_per_sec": "247102026.00"} 


real 0m4.483s 
--- 
This is quite a bit slower than this particular SSD (200GB DC 3700) should 
be able to write, but I will let that slide. 
Note that it is the journal SSD that gets under pressure here (nearly 900% 
util) while the OSD is bored at around 15%. Which is no surprise, as it 
can write data at up to 1600MB/s. 

at 4k blocks we see: 
--- 
# time ceph tell osd.0 bench 1073741824 4096 
{ "bytes_written": 1073741824, 
"blocksize": 4096, 
"bytes_per_sec": "9004316.00"} 


real 1m59.368s 
--- 
Here we get a more balanced picture between journal and storage 
utilization, hovering around 40-50%. 
So clearly not overtaxing either component. 
But yet, this looks like 2100 IOPS to me, if my math is half right. 

Rados at 4k gives us this: 
--- 
Total time run: 30.912786 
Total writes made: 44490 
Write size: 4096 
Bandwidth (MB/sec): 5.622 

Stddev Bandwidth: 3.31452 
Max bandwidth (MB/sec): 9.92578 
Min bandwidth (MB/sec): 0 
Average Latency: 0.0444653 
Stddev Latency: 0.121887 
Max latency: 2.80917 
Min latency: 0.001958 
--- 
So this is even worse, just about 1500 IOPS.

I doubt that based on what I see in terms of local performance and actual
utilization figures according to iostat and atop during the tests.

But if that were to be true, how would one see if that's the case, as in
where in the plethora of data from:

 ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-osd.0.asok perf dump

is the data I'd be looking for?

I already did the local tests, as in w/o Ceph, see the original mail below.

And you might recall me doing rados benches as well in another thread 2
weeks ago or so.

In either case, osd benching gives me:
---
# time ceph tell osd.0 bench
{ "bytes_written": 1073741824,
  "blocksize": 4194304,
  "bytes_per_sec": "247102026.00"}


real0m4.483s
---
This is quite a bit slower than this particular SSD (200GB DC 3700) should
be able to write, but I will let that slide.
Note that it is the journal SSD that gets under pressure here (nearly 900%
util) while the OSD is bored at around 15%. Which is no surprise, as it
can write data at up to 1600MB/s. 

at 4k blocks we see:
---
# time ceph tell osd.0 bench 1073741824 4096
{ "bytes_written": 1073741824,
  "blocksize": 4096,
  "bytes_per_sec": "9004316.00"}


real1m59.368s
---
Here we get a more balanced picture between journal and storage
utilization, hovering around 40-50%. 
So clearly not overtaxing either component. 
But yet, this looks like 2100 IOPS to me, if my math is half right.

Rados at 4k gives us this:
---
 Total time run: 30.912786
Total writes made:  44490
Write size: 4096
Bandwidth (MB/sec): 5.622 

Stddev Bandwidth:   3.31452
Max bandwidth (MB/sec): 9.92578
Min bandwidth (MB/sec): 0
Average Latency:0.0444653
Stddev Latency: 0.121887
Max latency:2.80917
Min latency:0.001958
--- 
So this is even worse, just about 1500 IOPS.

Christian

No and that is neither an option nor the reason for any performance issues
here.
If you re-read my original mail it clearly states that the same fio can
achieve 11 IOPS on that raid and that it is not busy at all during the
test.

> (how many disks do you have begin the raid6 ?)

11 per OSD. 
This will affect the amount of sustainable IOPS of course, but in this
test case every last bit should (and does) fit into the caches.

From the RBD client the transaction should be finished once the primary
and secondary OSD for the PG in question have ACK'ed things.

I can, but that is not the test case here. 
For the record that pushes it to 12k IOPS, with the journal SSDs reaching
about 30% utilization and the actual OSDs up to 5%. 
So much better, but still quite some capacity for improvement.

I have that set of course, as well as specifically "writeback" for the KVM
instance in question.

Interestingly I see no difference at all with a KVM instance that is set
explicitly to "none", but that's not part of this particular inquiry
either.

Re: [ceph-users] Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices

2014-05-07 Thread Gregory Farnum
Oh, I didn't notice that. I bet you aren't getting the expected throughput
on the RAID array with OSD access patterns, and that's applying back
pressure on the journal.

When I suggested other tests, I meant with and without Ceph. One particular
one is OSD bench. That should be interesting to try at a variety of block
sizes. You could also try runnin RADOS bench and smalliobench at a few
different sizes.

Hi Christian,

Do you have tried without raid6, to have more osd ?
(how many disks do you have begin the raid6 ?)


Aslo, I known that direct ios can be quite slow with ceph,

maybe can you try without --direct=1 

and also enable rbd_cache

ceph.conf
[client]
rbd cache = true

Googling for client-side objecter gives a few hits on ceph devel and bugs 
and nothing at all as far as configuration options are concerned. 
Care to enlighten me where one can find those? 

Also note the kernelspace (3.13 if it matters) speed, which is very much

I think we can rule out the network, NPtcp gives me: 
--- 
56: 4096 bytes 1546 times --> 979.22 Mbps in 31.91 usec 
--- 

For comparison at about 512KB it reaches maximum throughput and still

So with the network performing as well as my lengthy experience with IPoIB 
led me to believe, what else is there to look at? 
The storage nodes perform just as expected, indicated by the local fio 
tests. 

That pretty much leaves only Ceph/RBD to look at and I'm not really sure 
what experiments I should run on that. ^o^

I think we can rule out the network, NPtcp gives me:
---
 56:4096 bytes   1546 times -->979.22 Mbps in  31.91 usec
---

For comparison at about 512KB it reaches maximum throughput and still
isn't that laggy:
---
 98:  524288 bytes121 times -->   9700.57 Mbps in 412.35 usec

Hmm, with 128 IOs at a time (I believe I'm reading that correctly?)
that's about 40ms of latency per op (for userspace RBD), which seems
awfully long. You should check what your client-side objecter settings
are; it might be limiting you to fewer outstanding ops than that. If
it's available to you, testing with Firefly or even master would be
interesting — there's some performance work that should reduce
latencies.

But a well-tuned (or even default-tuned, I thought) Ceph cluster
certainly doesn't require 40ms/op, so you should probably run a wider
array of experiments to try and figure out where it's coming from.
