Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
What version of Solr are you running? Mostly that's for curiosity. Is the doc that's not returned something you've recently indexed? Here's a possible scenario: You send the doc out to be indexed. The primary forwards the doc to the followers. Before the follower has a chance to process (but not commit), you issue a RTG against that doc and it happens to be routed to a node that hasn't received it from the leader yet. Does this sound plausible in your scenario? Hmmm, I suppose it's not even a requirement that the request gets sent to a follower, it could easily be "in process" on the leader/primary.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
Hey Erick, We're using SOLR 7.3.1, which is not the latest but still not too far back. No the document has not been recently indexed, in fact, I can use the /search API endpoint to find the document. But I need a fast way to find document that have not necessarily been indexed yet so /search is out of the question. Also to put you in context, last time the doc was modified was 3 days ago but we are still seing the occasional doc:null return from the Realtime Get API.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
Steve: Thanks. So theoretically I should be able to set up a cluster, index a bunch of docs to it and then just hammer RTG calls against those IDs and sometime see a failure? Hmmm, I guess a follow-up question is whether there's any indexing gong on at all when this happens. Or, more specifically, if there's any time when you see this problem when there's _no_ indexing going on. I understand that it's not recently-indexed docs that are not being found, but if there's indexing going on searchers are being opened, caches flushed and the like so if this happens even when there's no indexing going on it'd help reproduce/track Erick On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 10:11 AM sgaron cse wrote: > > Hey Erick, > > We're using SOLR 7.3.1, which is not the latest but still not too far back. > > No the document has not been recently indexed, in fact, I can use the > /search API endpoint to find the document.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
So this is a SOLR core where we keep configuration data so it is almost never written to. The statistics for the core say its been last modified 4 hours ago, yet I got doc:null from the API an hour ago. And also you don't have to have a lot of data into the core. For example, this core has only 11 documents in it. The document I'm trying to fetch is about 45KB if that matters. Other things to note, this SOLR cloud instance is running multiple cores (9 cores total) and some of them are getting completely hammered. But I figured that each core is it's own thing, I may be wrong. BTW, I'm not 100% familiar with SOLR cloud but I see in the Replication section that the Master (saerching) and the Master (Replicable) are running different version / different gen. Not sure if that matters, not sure what that means. Thanks for your help, Steve On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 1:30 PM Erick Erickson wrote: > Steve: > > Thanks.

For example, this core has only 11 documents in it. The document I'm trying to fetch is about 45KB if that matters. Are there multiple replicas of this collection?

Without distrib=false, you cannot control which machine(s) will answer your query. Replicas shouldn't get out of sync unless something goes very wrong, but it has been known to happen.

Not sure if that matters, not sure what that means. For normal usage, you can completely ignore the replication master information when Solr is running in SolrCloud mode. SolrCloud only uses replication for recovering indexes that get out of sync (in a way that SolrCloud can detect), and it configures the replication handler on the fly when it is needed. The information it returns at any other time will be meaningless. When things are operating normally, the replication feature will never be used. Thanks, Shawn
Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
I don't think I've much to add that Steve hasn't already covered, but we've also seen this "null doc" problem in one of our setups. In one of our Solr Cloud instances in production where the /get handler is hit very hard in bursts, the /get request will occasionally return "null" for a document that exists. However, there is very heavy indexing (no overwrites or deletes) during that time which we assumed was the cause. This happens on 2 collections which have 10 shards each, replication factor of 2, spread across 4 hosts. During testing and when we first moved to this setup in production, we had a replication factor of 1, and still experienced the same issue of periodic "null" returned for documents, so it is probably not a replica synchronization issue. These documents were indexed about 10 minutes prior and had already been successfully returned to previous /get requests. We haven't been able to replicate it with any consistency, but it isn't a particularly critical issue with our use case.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
Hey Shawn, because this is a test deployment replica is set to 1 so as far as I understand, data will not be replicated for this core. Basically we have two SOLR instances running on the same box. One on port 8983, the other on port 8984. We have 9 cores on this SOLR cloud deployment, 5 of which on the instance on port 8983 and the other 4 on port 8984. As far as I can tell all cores suffer from the occasional null document. But the one that I can easily see error from is a config core where we store configuration data for our system. Since the configuration data should always be there we throw exceptions as soon as we get a null document which is why I noticed the problem. Our client code that connects to the APIs randomly chooses between all the different ports because it does not know which instance it should ask. So no, we did not try sending directly to the instance that has the data but since there is no replica there is no way that this should get out of sync. To add up to what Chris was saying, although the core that is seeing the issue is not hit very hard, other core in the setup will be. We are building a clustering environment that has auto-scaling so if we are under heavy load, we can easily have 200-300 client hitting the SOLR instance simultaneously.

We have 9 cores on this SOLR cloud deployment, 5 of which on the instance on port 8983 and the other 4 on port 8984. A question that isn't really related to the problem you're investigating now: Why are you running two Solr instances on the same machine? 9 cores is definitely not too many for one Solr instance.

Since the configuration data should always be there we throw exceptions as soon as we get a null document which is why I noticed the problem. When you say "null document" do you mean that you get no results, or that you get a result with a document, but that document has nothing in it? Are there any errors returned or logged by Solr when this happens? Our client code that connects to the APIs randomly chooses between all the different ports because it does not know which instance it should ask. So no, we did not try sending directly to the instance that has the data but since there is no replica there is no way that this should get out of sync. I was suggesting this as a troubleshooting step, not a change to how you use Solr. Basically trying to determine what happens if you send a request directly to the instance and core that contains the document with distrib=false, to see if it behaves differently than when it's a more generic collection-directed query. The idea was to try and narrow down exactly where to look for a problem. If you wait a few seconds, does the problem go away? When using real time get, a new document must be written to a segment and a new realtime searcher must be created before you can get that document. These things typically happen very quickly, but it's not instantaneous. To add up to what Chris was saying, although the core that is seeing the issue is not hit very hard, other core in the setup will be. We are building a clustering environment that has auto-scaling so if we are under heavy load, we can easily have 200-300 client hitting the SOLR instance simultaneously. That much traffic is going to need multiple replicas on separate hardware, with something in place to do load balancing. Unless your code is Java and you can use CloudSolrClient, I would recommend an external load balancer. Thanks, Shawn

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
@Shawn We're running two instance on one machine for two reason: 1. The box has plenty of resources (48 cores / 256GB ram) and since I was reading that it's not recommended to use more than 31GB of heap in SOLR we figured 96 GB for keeping index data in OS cache + 31 GB of heap per instance was a good idea. 2. We're in testing phase so we wanted a SOLR cloud configuration, we will most likely have a much bigger deployment once going to production. In prod right now, we currently to run a six machines Riak cluster. Riak is a key/value document store an has SOLR built-in for search, but we are trying to push the key/value aspect of Riak inside SOLR. That way we would have one less piece to worry about in our system. When I say null document, I mean the /get API returns: {doc: null} The problem is definitely not always there. We also have large period of time (few hours) were we have no problems. I'm just extremely hesitant on retrying when I get a null document because in some case, getting a null document is a valid outcome. Our caching layer heavily rely on this for example. If I was to retry every nulls I'd pay a big penalty in performance. As for your last comment, part of our testing phase is also testing the limits. Our framework has auto-scaling built-in so if we have a burst of request, the system will automatically spin up more clients. We're pushing 10% of our production system to that Test server to see how it will handle it. @Erick Thanks a lot for testing, there has to be a variable that I don't understand for this scenario to happen. Let me try to reproduce it reliably from my side and when I do I'll send you instructions on how to reproduce. I don't want you to waste your time on this. There might be one thing tho that your testing scenario does not account for, while we use the /get API a lot, we use it sporadically and most likely create a new connection to the API each time because calls comes from newly spawned processes. I had no luck reproducing the problem using 50 thread while keeping a session opened and hammering the /get API. I need to find a better way to reproduce this. @both Erick and Shawn I saw something really weird today, there was a mix up in some of the cores data. Basically, one core had data in it that should belong to another core. Here's my question about this: Is it possible that two request to the /get API coming in at the same time would get confused and either both get the same result or result get inverted? Cause that could explain my {doc:null} problem, our caching layer that looks up for IDs in some cores is usually hit pretty hard. Anyway let me time to do more testing on monday/tuesday and to try to pinpoint and make the issues easily reproduce-able.

Do you know that these Solr instances actually DO need 31 GB of heap, or are you following advice from somewhere, saying "use one quarter of your memory as the heap size"? That advice is not in the Solr documentation, and never will be. Figuring out the right heap size requires experimentation. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceProblems#How_much_heap_space_do_I_need.3F How big (on disk) are each of these nine cores, and how many documents are in each one?

If I was to retry every nulls I'd pay a big penalty in performance. I've just done a little test with the 7.5.0 techproducts example. It looks like returning doc:null actually is how the RTG handler says it didn't find the document. This seems very wrong to me, but I didn't design it, and that response needs SOME kind of format. Have you done any testing to see whether the standard searching handler (typically /select, but many other URL paths are possible) returns results when RTG doesn't? Do you know for these failures whether the document has been committed or not? As for your last comment, part of our testing phase is also testing the limits. Our framework has auto-scaling built-in so if we have a burst of request, the system will automatically spin up more clients. We're pushing 10% of our production system to that Test server to see how it will handle it. To spin up another replica, Solr must copy all its index data from the leader replica. Not only can this take a long time if the index is big, but it will put a lot of extra I/O load on the machine(s) with the leader roles. So performance will actually be WORSE before it gets better when you spin up another replica, and if the index is big, that condition will persist for quite a while. Copying the index data will be constrained by the speed of your network and by the speed of your disks. Often the disks are slower than the network, but that is not always the case. Thanks, Shawn
Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
Steve: bq. Basically, one core had data in it that should belong to another core. Here's my question about this: Is it possible that two request to the /get API coming in at the same time would get confused and either both get the same result or result get inverted? Well, that shouldn't be happening, these are all supposed to be thread-safe calls All things are possible of course ;) If two replicas of the same shard have different documents, that could account for what you're seeing, meanwhile begging the question of why that is the case since it should never be true for a quiescent index. Technically there _are_ conditions where this is true on a very temporary basis, commits on the leader and follower can trigger at different wall-clock times. Say your soft commit (or hard-commit-with-opensearcher-true) is 10 seconds. It should never be the case that s1r1 and s1r2 are out of sync 10 seconds after the last update was sent. This doesn't seem likely from what you've described though... H. I guess that one other thing I can set up is to have a bunch of dummy collections laying around. Currently I have only the active one, and if there's some code path whereby the RTG request goes to a replica of a different collection, my test setup wouldn't reproduce it. Currently, I'm running a 2-shard, 1 replica setup, so if there's some way that the replicas get out of sync that wouldn't show either. So I'm starting another run with these changes: > opening a new connection each query > switched so the collection I'm querying is 2x2 > added some dummy collections that are empty One nit, while "core" is exactly correct. When we talk about a core that's part of a collection, we try to use "replica" to be clear we're talking about a core with some added characteristics, i.e. we're in SolrCloud-land.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
57 million queries later, with constant indexing going on and 9 dummy collections in the mix and the main collection I'm querying having 2 shards, 2 replicas each, I have no errors. So unless the code doesn't look like it exercises any similar path, I'm not sure what more I can test. "It works on my machine" ;) Here's my querying code, does it look like it what you're seeing? while (Main.allStop.get() == false) { try (SolrClient client = new HttpSolrClient.Builder() //("http://my-solr-server:8981/solr/eoe_shard1_replica_n4";)) { .withBaseSolrUrl("http://localhost:8981/solr/eoe";).build()) { //SolrQuery query = new SolrQuery(); String lower = Integer.toString(rand.nextInt(1_000_000)); SolrDocument rsp = client.getById(lower); if (rsp == null) { System.out.println("Got a null response!"); Main.allStop.set(true); } rsp = client.getById(lower); if (rsp.get("id").equals(lower) == false) { System.out.println("Got an invalid response, looking for " + lower + " got: " + rsp.get("id")); Main.allStop.set(true); } long queries = Main.eoeCounter.incrementAndGet(); if ((queries % 100_000) == 0) { long seconds = (System.currentTimeMillis() - Main.start) / 1000; System.out.println("Query count: " + numFormatter.format(queries) + ", rate is " + numFormatter.format(queries / seconds) + " QPS"); } } catch (Exception cle) { cle.printStackTrace(); Main.allStop.set(true); } } }On Sat, Sep 29, 2018 at 12:46 PM Erick Erickson wrote: > > Steve: > > bq.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
In our case, we are heavily indexing in the collection while the /get requests are happening which is what we assumed was causing this very rare behavior. However, we have experienced the problem for a collection where the following happens in sequence with minutes in between them. 1. Document id=1 is indexed 2. Document successfully retrieved with /get?id=1 3. Document failed to be retrieved with /get?id=1 4. Document successfully retrieved with /get?id=1 We've haven't looked at the issue in a while, so I don't have the exact timing of that sequence on hand right now. I'll try to find an actual example, although I'm relatively certain it was multiple minutes in between each of those requests. However our autocommit (and soft commit) times are 60s for both collections. I think the following two are probably the biggest differences for our setup, besides the version difference (v6.3.0): > index to this collection, perhaps not at a high rate > separate the machines running solr from the one doing any querying or indexing The clients are on 3 hosts separate from the solr instances. The total number of threads that are making updates and making /get requests is around 120-150. About 40-50 per host. Each of our two collections gets an average of 500 requests per second constantly for ~5 minutes, and then the number slowly tapers off to essentially 0 after ~15 minutes. Every thread attempts to make the same series of requests. -- Update with "_version_=-1". If successful, no other requests are made. -- On 409 Conflict failure, it makes a /get request for the id -- On doc:null failure, the client handles the error and moves on Combining this with the previous series of /get requests, we end up with situations where an update fails as expected, but the subsequent /get request fails to retrieve the existing document: 1. Thread 1 updates id=1 successfully 2. Thread 2 tries to update id=1, fails (409) 3. Thread 2 tries to get id=1 succeeds. ...Minutes later... 4. Thread 3 tries to update id=1, fails (409) 5. Thread 3 tries to get id=1, fails (doc:null) ...Minutes later... 6. Thread 4 tries to update id=1, fails (409) 7. Thread 4 tries to get id=1 succeeds. As Steven mentioned, it happens very, very rarely. We tried to recreate it in a more controlled environment, but ran into the same issue that you are, Erick. Every simplified situation we ran produced no problems. Since it's not a large issue for us and happens very rarely, we stopped trying to recreate it.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
H. I wonder if a version conflict or perhaps other failure can somehow cause this. It shouldn't be very hard to add that to my test setup, just randomly add n _version_ field value.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
Well assigning a bogus version that generates a 409 error then immediately doing an RTG on the doc doesn't fail for me either 18 million tries later. So I'm afraid I haven't a clue where to go from here. Unless we can somehow find a way to generate this failure I'm going to drop it for the foreseeable future.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
I haven't found a way to reproduce the problem other that running our entire set of code. I've also been trying different things to make sure to problem is not from my end and so far I haven't managed to fix it by changing my code. It has to be a race condition somewhere but I just can't put my finger on it. I'll message back if I find a way to reproduce.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
We've also run into that issue of not being able to reproduce it outside of running production loads. However, we haven't been encountering the problem in live production quite as much as we used to, and I think that might be from the /get requests being spread out a little more evenly over the running interval which is due to other process changes. If I get any new information, I'll update as well. Thanks for your help.

Hey Chris, Which version of SOLR are you running? I was thinking of maybe trying another version to see if it fixes the issue.

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
We are relatively far behind with this one. The collections that we experience the problem on are currently running on 6.3.0. If it's easy enough for you to upgrade, it might be worth a try, but I didn't see any changes to the RealTimeGet in either of the 7.4/5 change logs after a cursory glance. Due to the volume and number of different processes that, this cluster requires more coordination to reindex and upgrade. So it's currently the last one on our plan to get upgraded to 7.X (or 8.X if timing allows). On Thu, Oct 11, 2018 at 8:22 AM sgaron cse wrote: > Hey Chris, > > Which version of SOLR are you running?

Re: Realtime get not always returning existing data
I'm using Solr 7.7.1, 12 shards, router:{"field":"route", "name":"compositeId"}, and find the realtime get only returns results if I specify the leader core-url. Most of the time I see no results.
