operations + morsel size weight model to equally allocate CPU b/w parallel query morsels.
This patch delivers better parallel query timings distribution(timings graph resembles normal
distribution with a bigger left side thus more queries runs faster comparing with PrioThreadPool-based
single-node installation).
See changes in batchprimitiveprocessor-jl.h and comments in fair_threadpool.h for
important implementation details
PP now uses PriorityThreadPool that arbitrary picks another jobs pack
to run. This scheduling discipline tend to run portions of a single query
forcing other simultaneous queries to wait. In result parallel queries
timings variance is high. The FairThreadPool picks the job with the smallest
amount of work done so far(see the code for details)
EM scaleability project has two parts: phase1 and phase2.
This is phase1 that brings EM index to speed up(from O(n) down
to the speed of boost::unordered_map) EM lookups looking for
<dbroot, oid, partition> tuple to turn it into LBID,
e.g. most bulk insertion meta info operations.
The basis is boost::shared_managed_object where EMIndex is
stored. Whilst it is not debug-friendly it allows to put a
nested structs into shmem. EMIndex has 3 tiers. Top down description:
vector of dbroots, map of oids to partition vectors, partition
vectors that have EM indices.
Separate EM methods now queries index before they do EM run.
EMIndex has a separate shmem file with the fixed id
MCS-shm-00060001.
* MCOL-4560 remove unused xml entries and code that references it.
There is reader code and variables for some of these settings, but nobody uses them.
EM and PP are most resource-hungry runtimes.
The merge enables to control their cummulative
resource consumption, thread allocation + enables
zero-copy data exchange b/w local EM and PP facilities.
Short CHAR/VARCHAR column values contain integer-encoded strings.
After certain manipulations(orderSwap(strnxfrm(str))) the values
become integers that preserve original strings order relation
according to a certain translation rules(collation). Prepared
values are ready to be SIMD-processed.
respondWait could be set to false
while other threads were waiting. With respondWait false, okToRrespond
wouldn't ever get notify_one(). Get rid of respondWait and use
fProcessorPool->blockedThreadCount to determine if any threads may be
waiting.
The idea is relatively simple - encode prefixes of collated strings as
integers and use them to compute extents' ranges. Then we can eliminate
extents with strings.
The actual patch does have all the code there but miss one important
step: we do not keep collation index, we keep charset index. Because of
this, some of the tests in the bugfix suite fail and thus main
functionality is turned off.
The reason of this patch to be put into PR at all is that it contains
changes that made CHAR/VARCHAR columns unsigned. This change is needed in
vectorization work.
* Fix clang warnings
* Remove vim tab guides
* initialize variables
* 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length
* Fix ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier for outdated bison
* chars are unsigned on ARM, having if (ival < 0) always false
* chars are unsigned by default on ARM and comparison with -1 if always true
Part 1:
As part of MCOL-3776 to address synchronization issue while accessing
the fTimeZone member of the Func class, mutex locks were added to the
accessor and mutator methods. However, this slows down processing
of TIMESTAMP columns in PrimProc significantly as all threads across
all concurrently running queries would serialize on the mutex. This
is because PrimProc only has a single global object for the functor
class (class derived from Func in utils/funcexp/functor.h) for a given
function name. To fix this problem:
(1) We remove the fTimeZone as a member of the Func derived classes
(hence removing the mutexes) and instead use the fOperationType
member of the FunctionColumn class to propagate the timezone values
down to the individual functor processing functions such as
FunctionColumn::getStrVal(), FunctionColumn::getIntVal(), etc.
(2) To achieve (1), a timezone member is added to the
execplan::CalpontSystemCatalog::ColType class.
Part 2:
Several functors in the Funcexp code call dataconvert::gmtSecToMySQLTime()
and dataconvert::mySQLTimeToGmtSec() functions for conversion between seconds
since unix epoch and broken-down representation. These functions in turn call
the C library function localtime_r() which currently has a known bug of holding
a global lock via a call to __tz_convert. This significantly reduces performance
in multi-threaded applications where multiple threads concurrently call
localtime_r(). More details on the bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16145
This bug in localtime_r() caused processing of the Functors in PrimProc to
slowdown significantly since a query execution causes Functors code to be
processed in a multi-threaded manner.
As a fix, we remove the calls to localtime_r() from gmtSecToMySQLTime()
and mySQLTimeToGmtSec() by performing the timezone-to-offset conversion
(done in dataconvert::timeZoneToOffset()) during the execution plan
creation in the plugin. Note that localtime_r() is only called when the
time_zone system variable is set to "SYSTEM".
This fix also required changing the timezone type from a std::string to
a long across the system.
