Joe,

After taking a look at the logs I should say that the topology and the whole cluster is stable, no any node left the topology. So 'failureDetectionTimeout' did what it had been created for. You can keep using its current value.

Preloading timeout happens from time to time on some nodes but finally it finishes. I'm quite confident that if you increase IgniteConfiguration.networkTimeout and TcpDiscoverySpi.networkTimeout values then this message will disappear at all. Let's try to set it to 15 secs. The example is below. In general, I think that we will simplify network timeouts configuration in the nearest releases.

<bean id="ignite.cfg" class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">

    <property name="networkTimeout" value="15000"/>

    ......
<property name="discoverySpi">
        <bean class="org.apache.ignite.spi.discovery.tcp.TcpDiscoverySpi">
            <property name="networkTimeout" value="15000"/>
.............
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>


Next. Since you have quite a big cluster I would suggest you tuning VM settings a bit.

- server
-XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+UseTLAB
-XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70
-XX:+ScavengeBeforeFullGC
-XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark

Finally, the only clue I see that may help us to realize why pi estimator example hangs is the following line in the logs of some nodes

[07:33:41,704][WARN ][main][IgfsServerManager] Failed to start IGFS endpoint (will retry every 3s). Failed to bind to port (is port already in use?): 10500

This can probably lead to the hangs.

Is every node started on its own physical machine?
I guess that you start several nodes per one single machine. If my understanding is correct then please make sure that every node that is running on a single machine has unique IGFS endpoint port number.

Joe, if fixing of IGFS endpoints port numbers doesn't help then please send us thread dumps from the nodes that are hanging during examples execution.

Regards,
Denis

Nope, not trying to load any data yet. Just starting up all the nodes and trying to run the hadoop mapreduce pi estimator example.

I made all the changes below and started all the nodes (I have a script the does a pssh so all the nodes start at about the same time.) I then waited quite a while until all the node logs stopped showing the "Retrying preload" messages. At this point one of the nodes already had the NIO exception.

But I then attempted to run the pi estimator example anyways.
It prints out the Number of Maps / Samples per Map messages but it just hangs and I never see the "Wrote input for Map" messages (there have been times were I'll see a few and then it will hang. That is what made me think it was the writes using the "hdfs api" that were hanging.

Denis, I'll send a tar file with the logs directly to you shortly so as not to clog peoples inboxes.

Quoting Denis Magda <dma...@gridgain.com>:

Hi Joe,

No problems, I'll guide you until we get to the bottom.

Do you start pre-loading the caches with data right after the cluster is ready? If so let's postpone doing this until you have a stable cluster with caches rebalanced and ready to be used.

Please, do the following as the next steps:

1) Set 'failureDetectionTimeout' to a bigger value (~ 15 secs);

2) Set CacheConfiguration.setRebalanceTimeout to a value that is approximately equal to the time when all the nodes are joined the topology (~ 1 minute or so).

3) Enable verbose logging for every node by passing -DIGNITE_QUEIT=false parameter to virtual machine arguments list. If you use ignite.sh script then just pass '-v' flag.

4) Enable garbage collection logs for every node by passing this string to virtual machine arguments list -Xloggc:./gc.log -XX:+PrintGCDetails -verbose:gc

When you did a test run taking into account all the points above please gather all the logs (including garbage collection logs) and send us for further investigation.

Regards,
Denis

Thanks for the info Denis.

Removing the failureDetectionTimeout and using the networkTimeout seems to allow the nodes to join the topology in about the same amount of time. I'm still only having occasional success running anything (even just the pi estimator)

I seem to always see a bunch of warnings...a summary is dumped below along with my config at the end, any guidance you can provide is appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

I've tried adjusting the timeout settings further but haven't had much success.

Here is what my config looks like, it is obviously heavily based off the hadoop example config.

Hi Joe,

Great!

Please see below

Reducing the port range (to a single port) and lowering the IgniteConfiguration.setFailureDetectionTimeout to 1000 helped speed up everybody joining the topology and I was able to get a pi estimator run on 64 nodes.


I suspect that the reason was in the number of ports specified in the range. By some reason it takes significant time to get a response from TCP/IP stack that a connection can't be established on a particular port number. Please try to reduce the port range, lower TcpDiscoverySpi.setNetworkTimeout, keep IgniteConfiguration.setFailureDetectionTimeout's default value and share results with us.

Thanks again for the help, I'm over the current hurdle.
Joe


Quoting d...@eiler.net:

Thanks for the quick response Denis.

I did a port range of 10 ports. I'll take a look at the failureDetectionTimeout and networkTimeout.

Side question: Is there an easy way to map between the programmatic API and the spring XML properties? For instance I was trying to find the correct xml incantation for TcpDiscoverySpi.setMaxMissedHeartbeats(int) and I might have a similar issue finding IgniteConfiguration.setFailureDetectionTimeout(long). It seems like I can usually drop the set and adjust capitalization (setFooBar() == <property name="fooBar")

Yes, your understanding is correct.
Please pardon my ignorance on terminology:
Are the nodes I run ignite.sh on considered server nodes or cluster nodes (I would have thought they are the same)

Actually we have a notion of server and client nodes. This page contains extensive information on the type of nodes:
https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/clients-vs-servers

A cluster node is just a server or client node.

Regards,
Denis
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

How big is a port range, that you specified in your discovery configuration, for a every single node? Please take into account that the discovery may iterate over every port from the range before one node connects to the other and depending on the TCP related settings of your network it may take significant time before the cluster is assembled.

Here I would recommend you to reduce the port range as much as possible and to play with the following network related parameters: - Try to use the failure detection timeout instead of setting socket, ack and many other timeouts explicitly (https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/cluster-config#failure-detection-timeout); - Try to play with TcpDiscoverySpi.networkTimeout because this timeout is considered during the time when a cluster node tries to join a cluster.

In order to help you with the hanging compute tasks and to give you more specific recommendations regarding the slow join process please provide us with the following:
- config files for server and cluster nodes;
- log files from all the nodes. Please start the nodes with -DIGNITE_QUIET=false virtual machine property. If you start the nodes using ignite.sh/bat then just pass '-v' as an argument to the script. - thread dumps for the nodes that are hanging waiting for the compute tasks to be completed.

Regards,
Denis

Hi all,

I have been experimenting with ignite and have run into a problem scaling up to larger clusters.

I am playing with only two different use cases, 1) a Hadoop MapReduce accelerator 2) an in memory data grid (no secondary file system) being accessed by frameworks using the HDFS

Everything works fine with a smaller cluster (8 nodes) but with a larger cluster (64 nodes) it takes a couple of minutes for all the nodes to register with the cluster(which would be ok) and mapreduce jobs just hang and never return.

I've compiled the latest Ignite 1.4 (with ignite.edition=hadoop) from source, and am using it with Hadoop 2.7.1 just trying to run things like the pi estimator and wordcount examples.

I started with the config/hadoop/default-config.xml

I can't use multicast so I've configured it to use static IP based discovery with just a single node/port range.

I've increased the heartbeat frequency to 10000 and that seemed to help make things more stable once all the nodes do join the cluster. I've also played with increasing both the socket timeout and the ack timeout but that seemed to just make it take longer for nodes to attempt to join the cluster after a failed attempt.

I have access to a couple of different clusters, we allocate resources with slurm so I get a piece of a cluster to play with (hence the no-multicast restriction). The nodes all have fast networks (FDR InfiniBand) and a decent amount of memory (64GB-128GB) but no local storage (or swap space).

As mentioned earlier, I disable the secondaryFilesystem.

Any advice/hints/example xml configs would be extremely welcome.


I also haven't been seeing the expected performance using the hdfs api to access ignite. I've tried both using the hdfs cli to do some simple timings of put/get and a little java program that writes then reads a file. Even with small files (500MB) that should be kept completely in a single node, I only see about 250MB/s for writes and reads are much slower than that (4x to 10x). The writes are better than hdfs (our hdfs is backed with pretty poor storage) but reads are much slower. Now I haven't tried scaling this at all but with an 8 node ignite cluster and a single "client" access a single file I would hope for something closer to memory speeds. (if you would like me to split this into another message to the list just let me know, I'm assuming the cause it the same---I missed a required config setting ;-) )

Thanks in advance for any help,
Joe
