Rocco Corsi commented on THRIFT-4488:
-------------------------------------
Sorry for not responding to your earlier post.
As mentioned the performance hit may or may not be noticed due to Nagle
setting, even my testing showed that performance might be worse or better
depending on specific traffic type. It might only be exposed due to binary
traffic with C++ implementation and might not be seen otherwise. Also I only
noticed when looking at packets with Wireshark, and due to Wireshark not fully
supporting Thrift protocol I don't know how many people have look at it at the
network level.
Do you have a link to what you fixed? Would be interesting to see what that is.
Do you know which version of Thrift will include it? Once we move to that
version, I could retest.
Regarding should we keep the issue open, do you see any point in keeping this
issue open? It has not gather any response from anyone else, claiming to also
be experiencing the issue. Might be something only impacting my environment. I
really don't know.
I really don't mind if you close it, or keep it open as a reminder to others
that might want to look into it some day.

> Key: THRIFT-4488
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4488
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Rocco Corsi
> Priority: Major
>
> Running a SUSE 12 SP2 x86_64 C++ Thrift Server that is using OpenSSL. Our
> thrift service uses all Oneway methods exclusively, so a Java client sends
> request Oneway and C++ server responds with Oneway method calls too.
> Noticed that the packets from Java client API method calls were mostly
> contained within one or two packets, but C++ server responses are being split
> over many packets. Often 1 data byte per packet. This is not really a good
> use of SSL protocol. Under high load, too many extra packets can exhaust
> random data cache and stale SSL library.
> As an experiment, re-enabled Nagle's Algorithm on C++ Thrift server (modified
> TServerSocket.cpp) and did tests at various load levels with various number
> of java clients. Comparing results with Nagle disabled and enabled,
> performance improvements varied from -10% to +40%, most of the results were
> on the plus side.
> Additionally, also working with wireshark developer to decode thrift traffic
> and the large number of packets that need to be reassembled is causing huge
> headaches to program the dissector. Hopefully he can fix that, but seems
> very difficult from what he tells me.
> Our C++ Thrift Server is based on TBufferedProtocol and TBinaryProtocol.
> Briefly tried changing to TFramed, but that didn't appear to make any
> difference, and client didn't work any longer (we did try to change it to
> match server, maybe we did something wrong).
> Is there a problem with the way we are creating our C++ Thrift server
> (TBuffered + TBinary), see further below for more complete info? Shouldn't
> the TBufferedProcotol send complete API messages and prevent the large number
> of packets? Is TBinaryProtocol the problem?
> Would it be asking too much to allow Thrift Server user the choice to enable
> Nagle or not during server creation?
> or
> Is there a problem with TBufferedProtocol or TBinaryProtocol or something
> else we are doing wrong?
> Thanks for your time.
> This is how we create our C++ Thrift server
