BE can not graceful exit because some threads are running in endless
loop. This patch do the following optimization:
- Use the well encapsulated Thread and ThreadPool instead of std::thread
and std::vector<std::thread>
- Use CountDownLatch in thread's loop condition to avoid endless loop
- Introduce a new class Daemon for daemon works, like tcmalloc_gc,
memory_maintenance and calculate_metrics
- Decouple statistics type TaskWorkerPool and StorageEngine notification
by submit tasks to TaskWorkerPool's queue
- Reorder objects' stop and deconstruct in main(), i.e. stop network
services at first, then internal services
- Use libevent in pthreads mode, by calling evthread_use_pthreads(),
then EvHttpServer can exit gracefully in multi-threads
- Call brpc::Server's Stop() and ClearServices() explicitly
Each test case in ExternalScanContextMgrTest may cost 1 minitue
which is too long, we'd better disable backgrounp scan context
gc to speed up unit test.
We can observe the workload of BE, and also it's a way to check
whether there is any problem in BE, like some container increase
too large and lead to OOM.
This patch add the following metrics:
```
Name Description
rowset_count_generated_and_in_use The total count of rowset id generated and in use since BE last start
unused_rowsets_count The total count of unused rowset waiting to be GC
broker_count The total count of brokers in management
data_stream_receiver_count The total count of data stream receivers in management
fragment_endpoint_count The total count of fragment endpoints of data stream in management, should always equal to data_stream_receiver_count
active_scan_context_count The total count of active scan contexts
plan_fragment_count The total count of plan fragments in executing
load_channel_count The total count of load channels in management
result_buffer_block_count The total count of result buffer blocks for queries, each block has a limited queue size (default 1024)
result_block_queue_count The total count of queues for fragments, each queue has a limited size (default 20, by config::max_memory_sink_batch_count)
routine_load_task_count The total count of routine load tasks in executing
small_file_cache_count The total count of cached small files' digest info
stream_load_pipe_count The total count of stream load pipes, each pipe has a limited buffer size (default 1M)
tablet_writer_count The total count of tablet writers
brpc_endpoint_stub_count The total count of brpc endpoints
```
The current load process is:
Tablet Sink -> Tablet Channel Mgr -> Tablets Channel -> Delta Writer -> MemTable -> Flush to disk
In the path of Tablets Channel -> DeltaWriter -> MemTable -> Flush to disk, the following operations are performed:
Insert tuple into different memtables according to tablet ID
When the memtable size reaches the threshold, it is written to disk.
The above operations are equivalent to single thread execution for a single load task.
In fact, the insertion of memtable and the flush of memtable can be executed synchronously.
Perform these operation in single thread prevents the insertion of memtable from being delayed due to slow disk writing.
In the new implementation, I added a MemTableFlushExecutor class with a set of flush queues and corresponding worker threads.
By default, each data directory uses two worker threads for flush, which can be modified by the parameter flush_thread_num_per_store of BE.
DeltaWriter will push the full memtable to MemTableFlushExecutor for flush operation and generate a new memtable for receiving new data.
This design can improve the performance of load large files.
In single host testing, the time to load a 1GB text file is reduced from 48 seconds to 29 seconds.
