Tim Armstrong created IMPALA-7014:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Disable stacktrace symbolisation by default
Key: IMPALA-7014
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-7014
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Backend
Affects Versions: Not Applicable
Reporter: Tim Armstrong
Assignee: Joe McDonnell
We got burned by the code of producing stacktrace again with IMPALA-6996. I did
a quick investigation into this, based on the hypothesis that the symbolisation
was the expensive part, rather than getting the addresses. I added a stopwatch
to GetStackTrace() to measure the time in nanoseconds and ran a test that
produces a backtrace
The first experiment was
{noformat}
$ start-impala-cluster.py --impalad_args='--symbolize_stacktrace=true' &&
impala-py.test tests/query_test/test_scanners.py -k codec
I0511 09:45:11.897944 30904 debug-util.cc:283] stacktrace time: 75175573

The stacktrace took 75ms, which is pretty bad! It would be worse on a
production system with more memory maps.
The next experiment was to disable it:
{noformat}
start-impala-cluster.py --impalad_args='--symbolize_stacktrace=false' &&
impala-py.test tests/query_test/test_scanners.py -k codec
I0511 09:43:47.574185 29514 debug-util.cc:283] stacktrace time: 29528

That's 2545x faster! If the addresses are in the statically linked binary, we
can use addrline to get back the line numbers:
{noformat}
$ addr2line -e be/build/latest/service/impalad 0x2cbe96f
