Re: X3 slow down after moving from HBase 0.90.3 to HBase 0.92.1

[Vincent Barat]

Yes we put and get small amount of data.
We already increased handler count to 30, maybe it is not enough... 
We will try this.

We have a 8-node cluster on 0.92.1, and these are some of the setting
we changed from 0.90.4
hbase.regionserver.handler.count = 150
hbase.hregion.max.filesize=2147483648 (2GB)

The regions servers are run with a 16GB heap (-Xmx16000M)

With these settings, at peak we can handle ~2K concurrent clients.

Hi,

We have changed some parameters on our 16(!) region servers : 1GB more -Xmx,
more rpc handler (from 10 to 30) longer timeout, but nothing seems to
improve the response time:

- Scans with HBase 0.92  are x3 SLOWER than with HBase 0.90.3
- A lot of simultaneous gets lead to a huge slow down of batch put & ramdom
read response time

... despite the fact that our RS CPU load is really low (10%)

Note: we have not (yet) activated MSlabs, nor direct read on HDFS.

Any idea please ? I'm really stuck on that issue.

Best regards,

Hi,

Right now (and previously with 0.90.3) we were using the default value
(10).
We are trying right now to increase to 30 to see if it is better.

Thanks for your concern

Vincent:
What's the value for hbase.regionserver.handler.count ?

I assume you keep the same value as that from 0.90.3

Thanks

It happens for a particular region?  Anything you can tell about the
server looking in your cluster monitoring?  Is it running hot?  What
do the hbase regionserver stats in UI say?  Anything interesting about
compaction queues or requests?

Hi, thanks for your answser Stack. I will take the lead on that thread
from now on.

It does not happens on any particular region. Actually, things get
better
now since compactions have been performed on all tables and have been
stopped.

Nevertheless, we face a dramatic decrease of performances (especially on
random gets) of the overall cluster:

Despite the fact we double our number of region servers (from 8 to 16)
and
despite the fact that these region server CPU load are just about 10% to
30%, performances are really bad : very often an light increase of
request
lead to a clients locked on request, very long response time. It looks
like
a contention / deadlock somewhere in the HBase client and C code.



If you look at the thread dump all handlers are occupied serving
requests?  These timedout requests couldn't get into the server?

We will investigate on that and report to you.


   Before the timeouts, we observe an increasing CPU load on a single
region
server and if we add region servers and wait for rebalancing, we
always
have the same region server causing problems like these:

With the same access patterns, we did not have this issue in HBase
0.90.3.

The above is other side of the timeout -- the client is gone.

Can you explain the rising CPU?

No there is no explanation (no high access a a given region for
exemple).
But this specific problem has gone when we finished compactions.


      Is it iowait on this box because of
compactions?  Bad disk?  Always same regionserver or issue moves
around?

Sorry for all the questions.  0.92 should be better than 0.90

Our experience is currently the exact opposite : for us, 0.92 seems to
be
times slower than the 0.90.3.

   generally (0.94 even better still -- can you go there?).
We can go to 0.94 but unfortunately, we CANNOT GO BACK (the same way we
cannot go back to 0.90.3, since there is apparently a modification of
the
format of the ROOT table).
The upgrade works, but the downgrade not. And we are afraid of having
even
more "new" problems with 0.94 and be forced to rollback to 0.90.3 (with
some days of data loses).

Thanks for your reply we will continue to investigate.



      Interesting
that these issues show up post upgrade.  I can't think of a reason why
the different versions would bring this on...
